SEATTLE March 24-The attitude of various house committees on the MIG Fadden gold excise and premium Dill commonly known as the bonus Dill indicates that there is much sentiment in Congress in favor of such Dill and I. F. Cailbraith, secretary of the American Mining Congress at Wash ington, D. C., in statement receiV- ad hv the Seattle Chamber of Com merce expresses hope for the passage of the bill He says gold bonus ace would mean much to the mining ln- dustry to Alaska. MT. Callbralth statement on the McTadden bill says: This bill was intoduced by Congress- man Louis T. McFadden, Chairman of the Banking and Currency Com mittee of the House, to prevent 1ur- ther decline in the nations gold pro duction and the continued wasta!ge of developed gold ore resources by cav inp flooding, and the rotten tlmbers when the mines are shut down. The gold production of the nation declined from 1O1 million dollars in 1915 to 4o5 million dollars in 1920, which in dicates to what extent the mines have already closed down.
 Our present limited resources are principally low grade ores, developed
 t ereat cost and requiring large scale operations. The mines that are still
 yorlzine are mostly restricting ploduc- ton to their, best ores, "gutting the mine."
 "The director of the mint reports that the gold supplied for ma nufac- ture of jewelry and other industrial uses in 1919 amounted to 75.5 million dollars, in excess of the production for that year of 15 million dollars The pice of gold being fixed by the gov ernment has rendered gold produc- , tion unprofitable during this period o1 rising costs, while the jewellers anc other consumers of gold being sup piled with their metal at the pre- wal price are in effect subsidized

Financial opcrationn toward tho end
OF the year depend to a great extent
on accounting adjustments and irrcgu-
l&vity IL frequently seasonal phe-
nomcnon at this period. Realization of
the fact encouraged speculative NELL
ing In tho stock market, particularly
sinus the trend haa been irrcgularly
upwa rd for many weeks. Speculative

Losses Of tho morning were to

afternoon on short covering. Tho
average pr Ice Of thirty representative
industrial tocks at the close, however,
was slightly lower than on Saturday
but the mean quotation Of twenty
typical rsi1e was u shade higher.
In spite oV tho factors making for
irregularity. the market Is conspicu-
ously free from the terrific selling
pressure which year ago caused a
panicky feeling in tho markets. The
selling last December was partly ne
cessitous and partly for tho purpose of
establishing tax losses Conditions
have 50 far improved in the business
world that forced liquidation has
ceased 30 be q factor Of serious impor-
tanco. As for tax selling, many securi
ties arc now selling at or near the
summit prices of the year. Therefore
those with their eyes fixed on the In
ternal revenue collector are disposed
to hold on to their stocks until at least
after tho turn of the year. for to sell
them now would establish profits in
stead of losses. The exceptions which
are at or near the low for the year are
the sugar stocks. many Of the low
such as Sears-Roebuck have been sold
! obviously to establish tax losses, and
under the new provisions of the in
ternal revenue act cannot be repur-
chased for thirty days. The effect of
the tax motive at present lis to defer
selling Of stocks to take profits, and
similarly to postpone buying back of
securities disposed Of to register losses

American Sugar Refining

American Sugar Refining, both com
mon and preferred, continued weak
tirmness in the other sugar stocks. At
491s, the common got within striking
distance Of the low Of Atm which was
established last October, when the
dividend on the preferred was being
questioned. During the course of the
decline the old rumor Of new financing
was revived. Earl D. Babst, president
of the company, with other prominent
sugar interests is working on a plan
to dispose of last seasons unsold crop
of Cuban sugar and it Is intimated that
some announcement may be made this
week: The plan, as now drafted. con-
templates the formation of a credit

Mexican Oil Men Meet

Although advices from Mexico City
indicate that American oil men are
nearing an agreement with the Mexi-
can government regarding taxes no Of
fetal information on the subject has
been given out in New York. There
was q meeting yesterday Of members
Of the Association of Producers of
Petroleum in Mexico and it was thought
that some announcement would be
forthcoming from the conference.
Later, however, 1t was stated that no
announcement would be made. Among
those in attendance were Guy Stevens,
manager of the association, and E. L.
Doheny, president of the Mexican
Petroleum Company. Exports Of crude
oil from Mexico in November are
understood to have averaged 255,000
barrels a day, a volume not exceeded
in any previous month this year.

November Conner Sales

Estimates in the financial district yes
terday placed the total copper sales at
185,000,000 pounds. This compared
with sales of approximately 140 COO 900
pounds in October and around 100000
900 pounds in September. Based on the
latest figures, more than 425. 900, 900
pounds Of copper were sold in the three
months ended with November. Should
sales this month reach 100000, 900
pounds, total business in excess of
525,000,000 pounds for the last four
months OF 1921 would be Indicated.
Ii is now believed that sales for the
full year may reach 1,150,000, 900
pounds, compared with 100000, 900
pounds In 1920

Arbitraging In Middle States

Brokers said that there was con-
siderable volume Of arbitraging yes
terday between Middle States Oil on
the Stock Exchange and Imperial Oil
on the Curb. Under the plan by which
all the Haskell properties are to be
consolidated into Middle States a
holder Of 100 shares OF Imperial will
get IS shares Of Middle States. At
yesterdays quotations for both stocks
there was q slight profit in selling
Middle States and buying Imperial. If
by any chance, however, the merger
plan should fall through the sellers
of Middle States would be short of the
stock, brokers pointed out.

Pierce on Preferred Dividend

Directors OF the Pierce Oil Corpora
tion are scheduled to meet to-day, ard
it is believed they will act on the
recommendations of the executive com
lnittee and declare dividend Of 81 a
share on the preferred stock. This
would re-cstablish the So rate, which
was interrupted last fall when the So
distribution due in October was omit
ted. The executive committee met last
Friday, and, it is understood, voted in
favor Of the resumption Of dividends
on the senior stock issue. Declara-
tion of a S4 dividend at this time
would complete the payments for the
September and October quarters.

Railroad Heads Differ on Grain Cut

Although railroad heads have not yet
made known what action they intend
to take regarding the decision of the
Interstate Commerce Commission es-
tablishing the 16h per cent rate re-
duction on hay and grain products. 1t
is believed that q meeting will be
called soon to discuss what steps, If
any. will be taken. In the so-called
Western mountain territory the de-
cision apparently takes precedence over
the 10 per cent reduction on farm prod
ucts which the carriers voluntarily ap-
piled for to take effect in all parts Of
the country except New England.
There seems to be little doubt that the
Western roads, which are hardest hit
by the commissions ruling, will put
Gp some sort Of fight. In the East
the sai,roads arc preparing to make
the cut on carload lots Of farm prod
ucts effective on January /.

From snow-capped mountain peaks that pierce the clouds an opalescent stream of water tumbled noisi1y into the valley like a bridal veil"
 That might be the opening title of a photodrama flashed upon the screen in conventional type. The poetic description itself might please you but let us visualize the letters gradually fading out on the screen and blending almost impercept1bly into a magnificent view of the very mountain peak as it sends forth swir1ing torrent to baptize the multi colored peaks. How much more eI- fective is the titlei
 Making titles which describe pie torially the words, is the function Of the Art Title department at any large Studio-juSt one of the departments which contribute so much to the ar ustry of production
 Let us assume that a sequence ot photodrama deals with the teeming rush of a great city at night-fa1L might read:
 Among those thousands who wear fly take their homeward way when the factories pour forth their human cogs was Sally Simper."
 It would be obviously wrong to show a, peaceful valley or our water fall for that title!
 Instead, Elmer E. Shee1ey, head of the Art Title department at Univer- sal City, would take a. cameraman to the industrial district and record, with soft focus and the romantic diff gaunt skyline of the factory belt; shadowy stacks standing out b1eak1y against cold gry sky; a wisp ot smoke trailing sullenly over the city

How To Be Happy, Though Married
 (By Irene Castle Treman)

write me: How can you, endure the quiet life of a. small town?'
 TT not only endure it. I enjoy it That life includes all the things that are essential to my happiness.
 Ithaca is a town beautifully sit uated- My love of beauty is fed by the hills and woods about it Our home is exactly what I would have chosen It is a simple enough home at Cayuga Heights, but it has one tre- mendously large room. It was lee is sixty feet long, We use it for a living room, but it serves for dances we want to give or for any sort of assemblage we want to arrange in our home.
 ''Of course Cornell College is at Ithaca That adds interest to the life
 For the first time in my life l have all the animals I want have twelve dogs and four horses and a village of birds
 Friends ask me what I do. I am busy all day There are ,my house hold duties, and the care of the ami mals, and l am teaching dancing to one hundred and eight children in Ithaca They are children whose parents cannot afford to send them to dancing school. I teach them twice a week.
 You remember the first time we met! l told you that as soon as the dancing craze was over I wanted to l1ve in a small town and have chill dren and have all the animal pets I WantedE l am realizing that ambi- ton The children haven't come, but there are the home and the small town and the animals"

How "Art Titles' Are Made

To getter "get over" the idea of clos ing time he might include in hls pan orana the plume of steam that leaps from the whistle when it shrieks the day's end.
 No matter how artistic an art title, it must not be allowed to violate or encroach upon the sacred precinct or the director. It must never De nore than misty background for the printed word of the tile; yet in a flaSh, it must prepare the spectator for the action that is to follow, give hlm clearer understanding of the title which may be~so @'gummed up iNith poetry as to be obscure, and put him in complete psychological sympathy with poor little Sally Simper whom he will next see leaving the unsavory factory.
 One might reasonably ask.
 If Sheeley uses his film photograph ing the factory, how is he going to get the printed words into the same picture?
 That is one of the things that any one concerned in the making of mo- ten thousand worlds, most of which cannot even be pronounced. Actually Archer makes the photo graph of the factory on all of the film except a little rectang1e in the exact certer. That is covered with a picture of the factory he will photo graph card upon which the title is printed and the letters will just ex- actly occupy the space left vacant for the purpose by the mask. Of course there are variations of | this such as double and triple expos ures and fades and disso1ves and irises | and all the other tricks known to ami l mated photography, but the usual way is described above.
