Ever since the first ball OF the year
by the Twelfth Night club this Mid

held New Orleans gripped In terror,
fascination and vivid interest. During
the past month he appeared at least
once a week, now at some private ball,
now at some restaurant banquet, but
always in the same garb: the helmet,
huge goggles and mask, and leathern
clothes OF a service aviator. On those
occasions the throbbing roar OF an air

Will Insider Say When?

Question - The Consolidated Gas advice
ls very. very poor and the lady" will not
thank YOU for 1t when she sees the stock
cross l76 this year CThis refers to an
answer In these columns in which 1t was
suggested that a woman who implied that
she wished to reduce some OF her stock
holdings should dispose of Consolidated
Gas among others Ill. N.
Answer-W Would the insider or any of
his collaborators be willing to assume
the obligation to post the lady in ques-
tion on the proper time to sell Con-
solidated Gas stock so that she might
realize on the expected" advance? 1t
Is characteristic of insiders to drum up
popular interest in stocks which they
are anxious to unload on the public at
the time Of particular movement
Otherwise there would be no profit for
the insider. Traders must buy all the
way up and some of them must be left
with stock bought at the peak. This
lady did not appeal to US as trader
seeking advice on matter of specula-
ton, for any one who has read this COL
umn even for brief period must know
that the affairs of traders are of no
interest to The Tribune. We give in
vestment advice, and do not propose to
have readers hold the bag for the in
siders. Your prediction Of price of
l75 for this particular stock may be
justified by later developments, just as
similar predictions have proved true
But that is not an Investment matter
and is, therefore, outside the province
of this column.

Holds Old Wabash Stock

Question: have on hand certificate
OF 400 shares common stock of the Wa
bash Railroad Company. 1t was bought
on July 81, 1915. Several months after
1t was bought was told that tho COM
pany had reorganized and that the stock
was no good. Could you inform mo IL
this is correct or II there Ia any way Of
me getting my money out of i.f--q. II. c.
Answer-Under the terms of the
Wabash Railroad reorganization the
common stock Of the old company was
exchangeabls for Glass "A" preferred
and common Of the new corporation.
We do not know whether this exchange
privilege has expired and have not
taken the trouble to inquire for the rea-
son that It would not be protitable for
you to 20 into the matter at this time.
The plan made 100 shares of old com
mon stock exchangeable for fifty
shares Of Glass "A" preferred and for
ty-flve shares Of new common, but only
on payment Of an assessment Of $50 a
share. Thus In exchange FOR your stock
and $4,000 In cash you would get nine
ty-fiva shares of new stock now having

Answer-The Hart Oil Corporation,
organized for the purpose of acquiring,
leasing and developing oil lands and
producing, refining and marketing oil
and its products, started it's corporate
existence May 22, 1919. The company's
holdings are extensive, including sew
eral thousand acres of oil lands that
had been In possession Of the Hart.
family for years. The Capitalization
of the company is $12,0o0,00O, consist
ing Of $675,000 Glass A stock and $685.
600 Class B. stock; shares are Of $40
par value. Original capitalization Of
the company was 100000 shares Of
81 par value, on which dividends Of
2 per cent month were being paid
IN June, 1921. At this time the stock
was selling at 2h and one share Of
exchange for four shares Of old stock
Dividends. at the rate Of 10 per cent,
were paid semi-annually on the new
capitalization up to March, 1922. Thu
September dividend was deferred. J. J.
Hart Is the president OF the company
and is well regarded among oil men.
Control of the company, through own
ership of Class B stock, is with tho
Hart family. The company Ia stated to
have cash on hand Of about 100000
and several producing wells, but cur
tailment in production has been con-
siderable, and the reason given for do
terring payment of dividend In Sep
tember Is the wish to conserve its
eash. The shares are highly specu-
ment.
