DECEPTIVE MARK FELT IN GERMAN DIVIDENDS;
 MAKES PROFITS SMALL

BERLIN, June 16.-Dividens to the shareholders in German stock companies have appeared so high, when quoted on paper-mark basis, that many firms have taken pains to explain the deceptiveness caused by the marks depreciation. Thus, at the time the great international el- ectrical works of Siemens & Halske recently declared an 80 per cent dividend it's directoriate noted this meant really only 16 gold pfennings on a share, or less than four Am erican cents.
 Upon receiving this dividend, said the company's annual report, the holder of 50 shares gets only the value today of telepone re- cciver and it's attached cord. Be- fore the war, a 12 per cent dividend on that many shares would have netted enough money to buy whole telephone switchboard with all its lines, capable of serving half hun dred subscribers.
 Citing another comparison, Siem- ems & Halske state the total divi- dend this year would serve to pur- chase but one direot-current motor of 400 horsepower, while in 1913 the dividend on only half of it's capital stock was sufficient for the erection of an entire power plant, grounds, buildings, boilers, steam turbines, dynamos, and all with a capacity of 50,0O0 horsepower.

But they wouldn't give me 3 transfer so 1 told my husband I was going to send her 10 the other school anyway and tell them she had never been b school before. And Of course l warned her to tell the teachers that she had never been to school"

and More Than 20 Buildings;
In Business 20 Years

The big Bernheimer and Schwartz
Pilsener Company, New York City, APP
parently has abandoned hope for the sue
cess of the movement to legaize tho
manufacture and sale of beer, for tho
company called in the federal prohibi-
tion agents to spill their stock of ante
prohibition beer and ale into the sewers.
The splling of the beer was begun
July Il and required several days to
complete the task as the stock on hand
consisted of 1000 barrels of twelve
year.old ale and $50 gallons OF beer.
This is the final step in the passing
of one of the eity's largest breweries.
1t was preceded by the sale of tho
company's plant to refrigcratiug COM
pany at a figure reported to be between
four million and five million dollars The
realty deal involved 81 city lots and
more than 20 buildings, most OF them
re-proof, the largest pottagc, it was
said, Of any sale in Manhattan for many
years.
The beer which the federal officials
poured into the sewers made up the con.
tents of l63 great oak gats which have
been held since the Volstead law went
into effect in the hope that some day
the law might he modified to permit its
sale.
There was originally 500 yats full but
large part of the supply has been de-
alcoholized for near beer. The federal
agents estimated that the beer was
worth 100000 at pre-Yolstead prices,
and that at bootleg prices it would bring
more than 81 100000. The Bernheimer

KICK ADDED IN PITTSBURGH

Prohibition officials at Pittsburgh,
Pa, declare that much of the near

it the desired kick. A few days ago
prohibition agents seized 20 barrels of
what had been near beer but which
they claimed was afterwards shot
with alcohol. One gallon of alcohol
is sufficient to give barrel of near
beer an alcoholic content of over three
