Members Follow Forms.
The price list. the commission
charged, is compiled by the price

The commission found further, that
If all printers using this system
adopted the prices Enthusiastically set

King Tut Bob Ends

coRYRlo'ST- liAaRls4 a EWlNo
BY international News Service.

LIMA, Ohio, April 1.-The
Tut-Ankh-Amen bob, latest de-
cree of Dame Fashion in hair
dressing styles, has made its
appearance here.
Bid good-by to the permanent
wave bob, say the hairdressers.
The Tut-Ankh-Amen bob is
shorter than the regulation cut,
the hair reaching point about
half way down the ear. The
hair is parted in the middle,
flaring up and flowing down
over the ears. Ends Of the hair
are not fluffy, but are held to-
gether tightly to give the effect
Of heaviness.
The new bob was originated
and designed at a convention
held recently in New York.
81 do not expect the style to
prove popular save with the
beautiful women" said Miss
Corinne Underwood, proprietor
of a local beauty shop. "The
hair must be cut very short and
it is a style suited only to fad
dists." Miss Underwood said
she had many calls for the new
style of head-dresS.

LUMBER FIRM WINS
SUIT OVER CONTRACT

A Jury in Circuit Court No. q
of the District Of Columbia. Justice
Hoehling presiding, late yesterday
returned a verdict In favor Of the
Schoonmaker- Connors Company,
New York lumber corporation
against J. L. Phillips for $S,0S1s
with interest from July 1, 1917. The
case arose out Of an order for funn.
Der placed with Phillips by the
-Connors Company IN
January 1917 to be delivered by
July 1. Phillips claimed that De-
cause of the declaration OF war IN
April. 1917, and the railroad en-
bargoes, he was unable to make
shipments. The lumber company
claimed that 1t was obliged 20 pay
higher prices for the lumber from
other sources and claimed damages
for breach OF the contract.

pany was represented by Attorneys

consumer; labor Is fully employed
at high wages; large increase IN
savings bank deposits and gradual
elimination of strikes and other la
Dor troubles were notable.
Three important factors have
contributed to this prosperity
These are, higher rate OF produc
ton, gradual increase OF price
scales and the enormous demand
for commodities to replenish sup
plies that had been allowed to
dwindle in the depression period OF
1920-21.
Frozen Loans Eliminated.
In the evolution from depression
to industrial prosperity, the money
resources and the credit facilities OF
the banking institutions Of the
country play an important part.
The gradual elimination Of the
frozen loans" in the great agricul-
tural sections completely changed
the status of the banking institu-
tons there, and enabled them to
devote their resources to the AID
and encouragement Of the business
boom which was then ushered in.
Not even in the hectic prosperity OF
the war days were the resources of
American banks as great as they
are at present or the mechanism of
banking so perfected. Through the
use of the bankers acceptances and
other forms of commercial credit,
the bankers have opened up a
larger field of usefulness.
The liberal dividend policy OF the
industrial leaders was an additional
factor in popularizing industrial
stocks with. investors.
Listed industrial stocks may be
classified as manufacturing com
panies, like American Can, Amer
lean Wooden, Corn Products. ETC.;
department stores, as well Wool
worth, Macy, May; chemical COM
panies, telephone and telegraph
lines; sugar companies; shipping
concerns and specialties, the last
covering a wide territory.
Taking a few of the representa-
tive companies, the stocks of which
are actively traded in on the New
York stock exchange, we find that
the American Can Company last
year SdTIl0O S1O.OO per SlldES d6dluSI
dividend requirements Of SIS; Ma
tional Biscuit Company earned $18.16
per share against dividend require
ments of So; American Ice Com
pany earned $3.50 per share
against dividends Of 81. The Ameri-
can Tobacco Company earned $17.54
against dividends of $12; Woolworth
earned $26.42 against dividends of
SO; American WooIen earned 1894
against dividends Of So.
Investors Should Be Careful.
The important question in indus
trial stock market today is whether
prices have advanced sufficiently
to discount all Improvement in
business that can be logically hoped
for. The preponderance Of senti-
ment in the speculative district is
bullish, and much higher prices are
looked for especially in stocks that
have not kept pace with the general
advance. It will be logical, how
ever, to look for frequent reactions
and setbacks due partly to techni.
cal conditions and partly to the &C.
tivity Of professionals, and investors
should exercises more than ordinary
caution in adding to their commit
ments.

cocoANUT PALMS FOR
SAND ISLAND, HAWAII

HONOLULU, April 11.-Sand Is
land, the barren sandbar which
forms the outer edge of Honolulu's
harbor, will some day in the not
too distant future wave an aloha
of breeze-stirred palms to the
thousands Of passengers aboard
liners arriving at and departing
from Hawaii. The planting Of a
triple row of cocoanut palms, the
first step toward the Identification
of Honolulu's harbor, was started
recently under the direction of Ger
rit P. Wilder. AT present Sand
Island is only a barren stretch of
land, with a background Of marshes
and mudflats. The palms are ex-
pected to give a tropical touch to
the harbor entrance.
