LOCALS firm IN
A NARROW MARKET
Mystery Behind the Remark
able Movement in American
Stores Remains Unsolved

American Stores and Pennsylvania
Railroad continued to hold foremost at
tention Of the local trading community
in todays brief market. The trading
in both issues was far from being active,
but there was enough action to make
both interesting. American stores
opened with an advance Of 1A points.
at 140&, Immediately reacted to l3g
on the report that the directors had
provided for S1.T5 dividend for the
present quarter, payable October /. AS
this is the same rate paid for the pre-
ceding quarter. when the dividend rate
was raised from to Z per cent, recent
stories Of an increase to 10 per cent
were badly punctured. The stock was
readily absorbed on the reaction and
made a quick rebound to 141, making a
net gain Of 2 points from last nights
closing.
Pennsylvania Railroad continued to
be fed out in small lots, forcing the
price back to 46%, which is 11a points
under the top price Of the current move
mcnt. While only small amount OF
stock changed hands. the Philadelphia
Electric issues displayed unbroken
firmness at the top prices of the week.
p. Il. T. moved up "a to 3OE on a
small turnover.
tending the remarkable forward move
ment in the stock of the American
Stores COMPANY under the same mys-
terious influences attending previous
startling demonstrations in the shares
of the Electric Storage Battery and the
General Asphalt Companies, 1t would
seem as If It would be an excellent pol
icy for the Philadelphia Stock Ex-
change crowd to always keep IN alert
eye for mystery of some kind
Nothing appeals so strongly to the
speculative Imaginative mind as to
clothe movement in particular stock
or selected group Of stocks with an air
Of mystery. American Stores for over
sixteen months has been steadily soar
ing to new high grounds. With the
exception Of the refnancing plan, moth
ing has come to light to satisfactorily
explain the almost perpendicular rise
in the stock from the 2O's to 143. 1t
is true the stock has been found to be
closely held and. from mcager reports

And was not that provoking?
At last the old folks fell asleep;

But he his absence to denote
Had on the window shutter wrote:
Remember, love, remember"
But did I need the hint so sweet
Which meant that we at church should meet
At ten o'clock next morning.
And there we met no more to part.

And since that day in wedlock Joined

Citizenship by CompuIslon

To the Editor of the Evening Public LEDGER:
Sir wish your correspondent.
James Briefly would explain just what
he means in his recently published con-
tributiOn to the Forum on "Democ-
racy.' when he says: "Is it not almost
suicidal to coerce the allen into taking
out his papers -?
Mr.. Briefly Is quite correct when
he says that American citizenship should
be regarded as choice privilege. His
letter was so intelligent in most respects
that doubtless he has some process of
reasoning. which I have not been able
to apprehend, back of his logic that
aliens become citizens by coercion or
compulsion. To my mind there is
nothing in American laws or practices
that savors of n conscripted citizenship
from the unwilling. Certainly the
the process Of attaining the right to say
II am an American citizen" is delib-
crate and selective.
There is the preliminary declaration.
the carefully thought -out first papers.
the quizzing on American history and
constitutional points, ETC.. before an
applicant can be taken into the sovereign
body of citizens. And It must be re-
membered that period of five years is
required between declaration of in
tention and admission to citizenship
through the District Court of the
United States-surely time long
enough both for sitting out the ca
pacity of the prospective citizen and
for him to make up his mind as to the
value and importance of what he is
doing.
Personally. I have never heard Of
any provost's guard going out after
aliens to induct them through the elab-
crate process of achieving American
citizenship. NJ. w.

For Wise Stage Censorship

To the Editor Of the Euenino Public Ledger:
Sir-I read with a great deal of in
trrest the full-page article in the
EVENING PUBLIC LEDGER of August .,
concerning the life of Augustus Thomas.
who has just been appointed executive
chairman of the Producing Managers
Association. post which will make
him virtually the cZar of the theatrical
industry.
As theatrcgocr of number OF
years standing | take keen interest in
all matters pertaining to the stage. and
when l first read of plans to introduce
a censorship of one sort or another over
plays. ] was heartily disguised. T was
afraid the attempt would result in the
appointment OF the wrong men and the
muzzling Of the wrong shows. And. il
not that, l was suspicious that politics
would enter into the matter, and thus
undo any good that might otherwise
accrue from such step.
The appointment of Mr.. Thomas to n
position which will give him logical and
reasonable rights in the matter of play
production removed all my fears. Mr..
Thomas is man of so well balanced n
mind, and 80 keen Il student of the
drama that ! am sure he will have a
softening and helpful influence ON the
more or less hectic state of the stage,
And, on the other hand. there need be
no fear that any powerful but danger
GUS influences will affect his Judgment.
A man who has so fine record as
Mr.. Thomas in his own long catalogue
of plays will prevent salacious and un-
savory presentations on the stage, but
will not try to hinder or bind really
artistic performances which might not
be so untrammeled if the stage die
tator'' We're of the caliber of some of
the film censorS.
