Blue Sky Law Needed.
Eugene l.. Thompson, president of
the Washington Stock Exchange. ad-
dressed the Rotary Club members at
their weekly luncheon on Selling
Stocks. Bonds and Other Securities"
Mr.. Thompson referred strongly to
the need for the enactment Of the So
called blue sky law" now before
Congress. and urged his hearers to
ment-Senate file. No. s; House roll,
J016.
Mr.. Thompson declared the passage
of such an act would rid Washing
ton of one of the worst forms Of day
light robbery
He also referred to the lists of Sc
curities left behind by persons who
could not afford to make Investments
of that kind. The District Of Colum-
bia is honeycombed with promoters
of stock selling propositions, and the
allurements are such as to attract the
most innocent wage worker.
Hundreds Of thousands of dollars
are being diverted annually into
fraudulent securities. instead Of going
into legitimate securities. We have
only to stop and think of the corpora :
tions promoted through exhaustive
newspaper advertising. If one Of
these statesmen handling fake securl-
ties misses the sale on the first call
he is not likely to call again. as he
does not believe in giving a client a
chance to Investigate. as he knows
that his sta temenls will not bear in
yestigation."
Mr. Thompson referred to the rob-
berries of owners of liberty bonds in
all manner of SpeculationS and of the
loss of fortunes in buying options on
large blocks of marks at many times
the present market price.
The reiterated advice. ASK your
banker" still holds good when invest
ing funds-with a special and search

acting on them.

The Fidelity Savings Company has
been instrumental in aiding 450 per-
sons TO become home owners in the

nowadays is too big an affair to

NEW YORK. December 31.-Year-
end reviews, with which the public is
surfeited at this time, are only ex
cusable at all where they afford some
ground for inference as to the course
Of events in the coming year. The
most instructive thought at the close
Of 1921 is that recovery has been fol-
lowing so far tn. same order as the
pr evious decline, from which the con-
clusion reasonably may be drawn
that the same sequence Will continue.
The first manifestation Of the g1.at
downward turn came in the mIney
market. 1t was not until fully six
months after the raising of federal
reserve rates in the fall of 1919 that
general trade conditions began to
feel the strain. In the same way IL
was not until six months after the
banking situation began to mend
toward the close of 1920 that the
first signs of trade revival appeared.
1t is fair to say that banking and
credit conditions are now back TO
nor'Sial From the peak Of December
go. 1920, federal reserve note cir
culatinn has shrunk nearly $1,000
o00."0o. while in the same time i'm
ports Of gold have swollen the gold
reserve by over S09,000,0o0. In con
sequence. the ratio of reserve to liza
bilities, which a year ago was - per
cent. stands now at Il per cent. and
this is high enough. judged by all
ordinary standards. Along with
this frozen loans have been melted
the country over. credit has become
easy to obtain, where twelve months
ago it was extremely tight, and the
money supply available for borrow
ing purposes is the freest in years.
Revival OF Trade.
1t is noted. then. that general bust
ness started on the downward path
six months after the danger signals
were raised in the money market. and
that banking Improvement began in
December last. whereas the bottom Of
the trade decline was not reached
until six months later-the next July.
II banking conditions have regained
normal. as they now undoubtedly
have. and the same procedure is OBJ
served in the future as in the past
trade conditions may be expected TO
reach their normal by the end Of an
other six months. If not before.
How far have the security markets
in their advance from the midsummer
of 1921 discounted this trade recoy-

Some Precautions
For Summer Driving

The summer motoring season is
nearly here. and the call of the open
road is IN your blood. Naturally you
are more eager than. usual 10 have
your car operating at its maximum
efficiency.
You should bear in mind that the
heat OF summer. combined with the
harder and more constant use to
which you put your car at this sea-
son of the year, causes more evapor-
alton than at other times. This ap-
plies not only TO water in the radi-
ator, but also oil.
During the coming hot months you
should see that the radiator is con-
tinually flushed out and filed with
clean water. In connection with this.
efficient fan belt adjustment should
be made. for the fan is needed more
than ever in summer. The position
of the spark lever should be watched
10 see that it is kept in an advanced
position, for thus 1t inslres better
cooling OF the engine.
Generally speaking. car operates
at least expense per mile when 1t
runs in high gear with the spark
advanced, but not always. This con-
dition is a most extravagant one
when the car Is running slowly:
first, because the spark Is then too
early, producing a spark knock. and.
second. because the power impulses
are farther apart, and the action is
therefore, less even. power being
consumed in overcoming the inertia

DURANT OUTPUT
IS OVER SOLD

Yes. the Durant is making
good" says H. A. Thiel. of the Lake
County Auto supply and Sales" the
best testimony for thos car is the
fact THAT we can't get them The
output is oversold now, and it re-
quires hard work to get delivery on
cars at dates specified by purchas-
ers. Usually we have to wait, but
we have word from the factory to
the effect that preparations for a
greater delivery are about complet-
ed. Most Of aur customers are lib
eral enough to leave their car on
the floor day or two. in order that
we may have it for display purpos-
es," SO says Thiel and what more
could be said for the condition Of
health of the automobile business
generally in Hammond.

of the fiywheel which is very great
at an uneven torque.
Many drivers try to stay in high
gear and keep their spark levers ad-
vanced all the way as long as pos
sible in climbing hill. Under these
conditions, when a changesis finally
to be made, it may be necessary to
go down into low gear. because of
the slow speed, whereas second
would have sufficed with a little
more momentum. Not only this.
ing. there is a great strain on all
the parts. the bearings are undergo
ing great pleasure while only being
poorly oiled; and with the spark too
far advanced, the combustion of the
gas is partially exerted in a reverse
direction. actually slowing down the
engine. and partly on dead center,
suojecting the whole engine to ter
rible shock at every explosion.
Naturally. too. much fuel Is being
wasted in this destructive effort.
Most drivers who do this think
they are economizlng because they
reason their engines are turning
over less times per given distance
of car travel. and hence less gas is
being passed through the engine and
burned. This is not so, for if a
change were made to second speed.
actually less fuel would be con-
sumed

zation.

TO Mr.. Elsner the manager the de-
mand has at the present rate far ex-
ceeded the supply. Practically the
only thing that can be regretted in
connection with these two models
IS that the factory, due to the de-
mands made on chem by larger deal
ers, have not been able to ship more
than one car of each model into his
territory. More are on the way and

enough and orders are being sent
