NEW YORK, March S.-Continued
unsettlement characterized the open
ing dealings on the stock exchange
today as a result of the program to put
the bonus measure through the house.
Another disturbing factor was the
slight falling off in steel operations
in the Youngstown district. Steel.
Baldwin, Can and other industrial
leaders were available in the early
trading at the low levels Of the cur
rent decline while Studebaker broke
to a further new low for the year at
9S%. Strength continued in the rail
group, however.
First Hour
Continued recovery in francs which
reached the best price of the year at
sos cents served to steady the indus
trial list which developed a slightly
better tone in the first hour. Rails
were in good demand under the leader
ship of Southern Railway which at
5415 had regained practically all the
loss resulting from profit-taking after
the run up to 55 on the announcement
Of the initial common dividend. Pro
fessionals were not inclined to give
up without a struggle and they con-
tinued to attack various sections of
the market, but the resistance they en-
countered was observable.
Second Hour
Another selling wave swept the in
dustrial list in the second hour, de-
pressing Baldwin to a new low on
the movement at 1191s and Can at
112s while further sharp. declines
took place in specialties like Ameri-
can Sumatra, preferred, which dropped
IA to ASH. Better support was forth
coming for the steels, however, under
the influence Of steel co1.lmon, which
held above the previous close, while
the general industrial list was weak
Bethlehem was sustained by the IA
vorable character Of its annual re-
port, which was one of the most ex-
haustive issued by an industrial cor
pOration this year.
Noon Hour
Spectators for the decline contin-
ued to offer stocks freely through the
noon dealings, operating on the the
DRY that the summoning Of other Gov
eminent officials in connection with
the oil investigation meant that the
political situation was to be kept IN
settled as long as possible. Stude-
baker broke to a further new low
for the year at 96A, but other lead
ing industrials displayed resistance
above the low points of the morning
Fourth Hour
American Sugar duplicate the

SLIGHT IMPROVEMENT IS
NOTED IN CURB ISSUES

Selling Affects Principally Industrials;
Oils Stedier.
By United Financial
NEW YORK, March 18.-A slight
change for the better was noted in the
early curb dealings today, although
considerable short selling was still in
evidence. affecting principally the in
dustrials. Oils were steadier as a rule.

Examination OF the Daugherty &C
count showed he operated under his
own name from Nov. Z, 1921, to April
IS, 1922, when the account was trans
ferred to the name OF "W. w. Spaid.'
Spaid is a partner in FIibbs & Co..

dealings. Jess Smith. intimate friend
OF Daugherty, signed several of the
receipts for this Spaid account.
Daugherty bought 100 shares of
Pan-American stock on Oct. 9. 1929,
and sold it on Oct. IL, 1922, at a profit
OF $3.50.
Daugherty bought on Oct. II. 1922,
500 shares of Sinclair Consolidated,
which was delivered to Hibbs & Co.
! He is also believed to have purchased
500 additional shares on Oct. 81, al
though this transaction was not made
clear on the books.
The Curtis purchase of 100 shares
Of Sinclair Consolidated. was made
outright on Feb. %, 1922, and deliv-

THROWING MONEY
AWAY
BY ALBERT APPLE

THE easiest way to get rich is to supply a necessity or
i provide entertainment for the public,
When you are selling something people have TO have.
you escape the terrific task Of educating the public to use
n new device. The public, as q result Of having been bunkoed
many times, is naturally suspicious of the new. For in
stance, II required an immense amount of educational adj
lvertising to induce people to buy the first breakfast foods.
The auto has come into popularity in n matter Of 90
Years. You probably recall how suspicious and skeptical
people were when the first "horseless carriages were
put on the market. and the auto would not be widely used
today il 1t we're not for the infinite patience and effort and
advertising campaigns of the makers.
All this preliminary educational campaign is avoided
when you sell n simple necessity that people already know
about and have to have.
OF COURSE, if you go into business for yourself and sell
~ a common necessity, YOU find you have tremendous
competition. The idea Of supplying necessities, to escape
educating the public, is so obvious that It has occurred to
Others. So margins of profits are apt to be slender as the
fight for business wages.
But dealing in a necessity means quick sales and rapid
turnover of stock. Unlike sitting around for years waiting
for the public to get educated to the point of losing its
suspicious and taking a chance on trying out a new device
or service.
lJITHEN people buy necessities, they squabble over pennies.
w When they buy entertainment or anything else that
isn't actually necessary, they literally throw their money
away.
For instance, a man viii walk several blocks to save a
couple of cents on a pound of butter or a dozen eggs. Then
he turns around and pays halt a dollar TO see a movie that
isn't worth 10 cents. Does he raise a fuss because he didn't
get his moneys worth? No. His kick is a grumble at the
film itself, not at the price.
In spending for pleasure, the public is prodigal. In spend
ing for necessities, the public is a miser. Many a man
who spends a couple of dollars a day for tobacco prefers
standing half the time in street cars rather than pay an
extra cent carfare.
If you want a chance to make money easily, go where
people are spending for pleasure.

L tickles Poncare. Anyone having seen a Frenehman
talking his best on French soil can get up a picture Of
the eNcitable little premier, as he gets off this about the

Germany holds at home the equal of 100000 gold
marks. She hasn't taxed herself as the allied nations
have, She hasn't ceased since 1919 perfection of her rail-
road system, her ports, her canals, her industries, or
ganized for production superior TO that before the war.
The country is well gifted with natural resources and
has means TO exploit them. Her population is grow
ing. Her agriculture is flourishing-Sueh are declara-
tons of the experts and they added that Germany is in
a position to resume a favored situation in world aeuv-
tiles.
THAT is just what We said-thats just what Germany
denied and Just what many of our allies refused to be-

OBSERVE the Grass ~impudence of the farmers oranges
of the Northwest Actually, the farmers ask that
Washington go to undertaking the War Finance cor
poration on the ground that U. S. senator's, their rea-
lives and business associates have been granted big loans,
while farmers have been unable to borrow a dollar.
1t is the duty of the farmers to walk up to the polls
and vote for the same old gang that is running the War
Finance corporation. All the War Finance funds may
be in the hands of senators, relatives and business cronies,
but it is no time for finding out. undertaking is very
unpopular-at Washington. 1t hurts President Coolidge's
feelings, isn't good for the party and has Il tendency to
impair public confidence by failing perfectly splendid po-
htical bosses, big and little. Let the farmers stick to
raking hay and let raking private graft and fayoritism
out Of government alone. Let them be regular and easy.
