The Good Fellow Plan.
Here is the Good Fellow plan In a
nutshell.
The Washington Times has a long,
long list of children and ill and needy
adults whose stockings will go empty
on Christmas morning unless Good
Fellows come forward and see that
they are filled. Men and women who
want to insure themselves a merry
Christmas by making someone else
happy are asked to write. telephone,
or come to The Washington Times Of
flee and select one or more of these
children or adults and promise to see
that Santa Claus comes to see them on
Christmas morning. The Washington

some one else, knows exactly what
the money he or she contributes 10
spent for and who Is the recipient
of his or her Christmas bounty.
Good Fellows who served last year
and the year before. will tell you
that there Is no happiness I'm the
world comparable to the feeling one
gets on Christmas morning upon
seeing the smiles and tears OF Joy
on the faces Of needy children and
old folk who have been visited by
santa Claus when they thought old
Kris kringle intended passing by
their chimney. The merry laughter
and the shouts OF JOY of these CRATE
full children is the sweetest music
you could ever hear, and 1t will
ring In your ears to the longest day
you live.

promise.
That's all there 10 to II.
No contributions are sought. You
are not asked to send in checks or

Macintosh Kellogg has been elected 4
director Of the City Investing Company
in place of Supreme Court Justice Henry
ID. Hotchlxiss. That change. which oc-
curred in a meeting of the stockholders
last Wednesday. is understood to have
been the result OF an effort on the part
OF certain interests in the company to
obtain control of the meeting and oust
Its present management. which is head
ed by Robert IL. bowling. A consider
able time ago the minority interests be-
came dissatisfied with the way In which
the company's affairs were being ham

at last weeks meeting was sent out.
The requests. which went to practical

however apparently had little effect on
their attitude toward the management.
because when the meeting was called
the Dowllng interests were sufficiently
backed to control the meeting. and as
result all OF the directors, except Jus

Central Leather's Report BAD.

The annual report Of the Central
Leather Company, showing deficit Tor
the year after dividends of app'o
mately $25, 900, 900. although. partly
counted in the stock market. had
effect Of breaking the companys com
mon and preferred shares sharply. AL
though it was generally known that the
company would show a very large deficit
for the year, the general estimates
placed the figure between $15,oOo,o ,ooo
and S2O.O00.000. and in only two or three
cases were estimates as high as S2o,-
600, 900. The common stock declined
more than 2 points to 35la. rallying
later to SO. while the preferred broke

loss it recovered only "A of point. The

ever that the stock was moved up. Even
after the move had eliminated and those

shares. they found plenty of takers and
the closing price was 6ss. up n points.
Developments are said TO he pending in

Copper Shares Heavy.

Continued stagnation In the copper in
Custry and sales of the metal below 13
cests again were the chief factors in
yesterdays heavy selling OF the copper
stocks. With respect to Utah Copper it
was rumored about the Street that its
directors at their next weeks meeting
plan to cut the dividend from $3.50 to
81 quarterly. In that connection there
was considerable selling of the stock as
well as of that of Kennecott Copper
Company, which owns a large block of
Utah shares. Reports received by cop
per men from their properties are not
encouraging and the real danger, II was
said yesterday. is the possibility that the
depression will continue TO the point
where il becomes necessary for some
copper companies to break up. or at least
disarrange their organizations, in which
cases a revival Of business would not be
reflected in production and earnings for
several months.

OIL Stocks Lower.

The news from Mexico yesterday
morning to the effect that the Obregon
Government would not allow further
drilling permits to be issued pending
some contemplated action in the Con-
gress there and intimations that the con-
trovcrsial Carranza DEGREES might be en-
forced again had the effect of unsettling
the market for Mexican oil stocks.
Coupled with this was the continued
precipitate decline of Atlantic Gulf
shares, which added 70 the irregularity
in the oil list. Mexican Petroleum sold
of points TO 156 u, recovering por-
ton of the loss before the close and
winding up the day at 1888. Houston
Oil declined Il to 20. Texas Company
held we'll most of the day and closed un-
changed at 431a. Royal Dutch. Shell

Contraction Moderate.

The NOV emcnt toward business con-
traction continued last week. but the
progress was moderate provided the fall
ing off in loans and deposits is taken as
criterion. Tho Clearing House bank
statement disclosed 2, contraction in
loans of $20.216, 900 and decrease in
deposits of nearly $12,000.000. An un-
usual feature was the decline in time
deposits. which shrank $11.725,ooo. Loss
of cash to the Reserve Bank exceeded
the drop in deposits. and as result sur
plus reserve fell off $7.625.1S0 to $11,-
