Mr.. Jones spoke Thursday night on
"Feeding on Husks." Someone asked
otn 'vv0w long will America endureY
He answered, II do not know" and
then he spoke of the great nations and
civilizations of the past--of Babylon,
Ninevah, Egypt, Greece, Rome and
epain-all lost in history. He told the
story of Jesus, of the two houses-one
built on the solid rocks and the other

about the character and influence of

GENERAL MOTORS
NET REFLECTS BOOM
Half Year Profits Equivalent
to $1.30 a Share on Common
Big Loans Paid.

The income account of the General
Motors Corporation for the first six
months of this year. coupled with the
balance sheet as of June 80. 1922. shows
perhaps better than any other record the
tremendous boom in the automobile in
dustry this year. Whereas at the be-
ginning OF the year the corporation had
bank loans of approximately s49. 900,
at the beginning of the second half of
the year all loans had been paid off and
the company had cash in banks of $685.
600, 1000.
The earnings statement shows profits
available for dividends of $29,997,391,
which is equivalent to about $1.30 a
share earned on the common stock after
deduction OF preferred and debenture
dividends. Interest charges on the huge
bank loans during the first, half of the
year which will not have to be paid In
the second six months period. reduced
earnings materially.
Net sales for the six months were
$21S.490,4S1. and net earnings before
taxes and interest $35,116,4S1. Interest
charges on notes were $1.414,090 and
provisions for taxes and contingencies
s3.705.000. For dividends on the pre-
ferred and debenture stocks s3,15S, 900
was distributed, leaving surplus for the
period of $26,S39,391.
Pierre S. du Pont. president, says in
statement to stockholders: During
the six months period approximately
S6,200,000 net has been added to the re-
serves for depreciation of real estate,
plants and equipment. Net working cap
ital as of June 80 was approximately
s123 100000, an increase of $4,000, 900
from the condition at December 81. 1921.
Inventories, which at December 81 were
written down to cost or market, are well
balanced and during the six months have
been reduced to below sos, s,000,0 900. The
reduction Of some s10,000,000 has been
effected partly because Of efficient con-
troll of stocks and partly because of
exceptionally favorable transportation
conditions.
I'm connection with a readjustment of
assets at December 81. reserve in the
amount of $14,000,000 was set up to
cover anticipated losses and unforeseen
contingencies. pertaining to prior periods,
but not definitely ascertainable. During
the first six months of this year losses
of this character have been realized and
charged off against the reserve to the
extent Of approximately $6,250.000. leav-
ing balance in reserve as of June 80
of approximately $7.750.000."

STRIKES AID DECLINE
IN FREIGHT LOADINGS
Falling OFT of I58,577 Cars in
Week,

Freight loadings in the week ended
July s, the first week of the railway
shopmen's strike. totaled 1883 cars, a
decrease of 15S.577 cars from the total
loadings of the preceding week, accord
Ing to reports received by the American
Railway Association. The cause for the
decline was shared by the observance of
the Fourth or July and by the shop
mems walkout
Despite another factor. the coal min
ers' strike. which has kept freight load
ings from reaching record proportions in
recent weeks. the total loadings for the
first week of July were 77.784 cars
above the same week of 1921. Total
loadings in the last week OF June. which
included no holiday. exceeded those of
the same week in 1921 by 100.S17 cars.
1t is impossible to calculate exactly how
much of the decline in the first week
of July, as compared with the immedi-
ately preceding week, was due to the
shopmen's strike, but 1t may be said that
the difference between the two forego-
ing increases, namely, $4,000 cars, is the
utmost loss that can be attributed to
the railroad strike.
The leading commodities all showed
declines from the preceding week. Coal
loadings aggregated 6S.996 cars, de-
crease of 25.752 from the previous week
and a decline of 54,974 cars from the
same week Of 1921. Merchandise and
miscellaneous freight loadings decreased
93.067 cars from the preceding week,
but Increased S9,2S6 cars over the cor
responding week last year to total of
482,079 cars
