Forman and I left with our load a

cases OF booze on n truck.
I'm former days the smugglers used
TO carry large stocks OF booze on hand,
and n runner would come in, lone up
and get out In a hurry, but the Eoorse
smugglors nowadays DON'T tie up their
WI money, They take a hunner's or

across the river and buy It with his
money. That's one Of the things that

Employe~ Stockholders of

CHICAGO, May 2s.-Three years
hence the employees OF the Standard

largest single group Of stockholders
collectively, and will own more stock
than n other individual or collec-
tive group Of stockholders of the
company. II the employees patronize
the stock purchasing plan in the next
three years as they have in the last
two. This announcement was made
today by tho company in comment
ing on the result of the plan during
the two years Of its existence.
TIT announcement says that OF the
$1,000 stockholders, 10000 are now
employees and have purchased stock
under the plan. which provides that
for every dollar an employee puts up
for the purchase OF stock the com.
pany will add 80 cents to the en-
ploye's credit in the purchase. pro
vidlng, however, that no employe can

purchase more than an amount equal
to 20 per cent of his salary.
As soo as an amount sufficient to
buy ons share of toe is reached the
purchase Is made and dividends to
tho employee begin. At the end of
five years all OF the stock purchased
in this name is delivered to the
employee.
4 few concrete examples of how
this plan works are interesting. Two
years ago an office boy earning $50
a month contributed SO of this
mon hly wage TO purchasing stock.
Today he has nine shares and with
the small cash balance of $3.50 he
has to his credit S575. His net profit
is $40.
Another employe whose salary Is
$500 a month put in 500 to the pur.
chase Of stock. He has now 9l
shares, which has a total value OF

years is S3,561.

Giant First-Sacker
Actor In Movie
OF Alaska

George Kelly, better known
as "Home Run Kelly" first
baseman of the New York
Giants, has fallen victim to the
lure of the movies.
Kelly recently journeyed to
the Goldwyn studios in Culver
City, Cal, as the guest of
Jesse D. Hampton, a rabid base
ball fan, who is now producing

Beach's famous Klondike novel.
The smuggling first baseman
was much interested in the
movies and, after being intro
duced, asked if he couldn't have
a try at acting. Lambert Hill
yer, the director, looked over
his immense bulk and said:
"Sure."
Several scenes were taken
with Kelly enacting a small
role. He will be seen in "The
Spoilers" with such screen stars
as Milton Stills, Robert Edeson,
Barbara Bedford, and Anna Q.
Nilsson.

Crow Scarer First
Job Vardon
Ever Had

Vardon's golf will live be-
cause it was the acme of grace.
There never has been and prob
ably never will be a PLAYER
whose strokes will be such a
feast for the golfers eye.
Vardon got this grace of
stroke in a peculiar way. He
did not start as most profess
SIGNALS have done, as a caddie.
His first job was that of a crow
scarer. He walked about the
large fields at regular intervals
and scared off the thieving
birds.
He smoothed off a small put
ting green at each corner Of
the field and played these four
holes, hour after hour, as he
made the rounds Of the field.
In this way was developed
the glorious natural swing that
millions of golfers have since
tried to copy.
He was in his day the worlds
greatest golfer and he learned
his game Tar away from the
smooth rolling green's and val
vety putting greens of a regu-
lar golf course.
