Interests Is Becoming
Widely Diffused.

NEW YORK, Jan. 23.-The great
diffusion among an overwhelming
public of ownership In large Ameri-
can corporations has been charact
terized by Prof. T. N. Carver, Of
Harvard University, as a peaceful
economic revolution.
The development~of the huge cor
porate enterprises, including chain
stores, wiped out many Of the
smaller, weaker, one-mau organiza-
tions of an earlier generation. The
new crop Of American youths is find
ing its opportunity more and more
in jobs rather than in their own
businesses. True enough, the sala-
ries offered at the top are frequently
far beyond what might have been
earned as independent operators.
Moreover, the thrifty public, which
a few decades ago might be owning
small business concerns, are to an
increasingly great extent expressing
their instinct of acquiSitiveneSS -
their impulse to hold property-by
purchasing ownership shares in huge
corporations.
Specifically, the American Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company,
which leads all the business institu-
tiops of the world in the number of
it's holders of partnership shares,
has more than 281, 149 shareholders,
while the Bell system has 486,O0O
stockholders and the class l rail-
roads 100000 shareholders.
OF the new concerns, the Dur4nt
Motor enterprises, which are just
emerging from the organization
stage, have by far the largest NUM-
Der of stockholders stimated at
$50, 000-who share the business
risks of a highly competitive bust
ness with w. C. Durant.
The United States Steel Corpora
ton has 154.230 common and pre-
ferred shareholders, and General Mo-
tors 6S,281 The Standard Oil Com,
pany of New Jersey has 61,490 com
mon and preferred stockholders.
Today is "buy your own home day"
In National Thrift Week.
Three points of resistance keep
the renter out of his own home.
First, lack of money.
Secondly, unwillingness to be com.
mitted for a long period Of years 10
q particular style or size Of house.
Thirdly, uncertainty as to per
manence of residence in this city.
Point one is the only real barrier.
but can be surmounted by depositing
as little as a dollar a month in .
building and loan association.
Point two can be met through con
scious allowance for further expan
sion or improvements.
AS for point three, the home buyer
should select a building so located
az to be readily marketable in case
Of necessity. ..

 won the women's doubles champion
 ship of the Olympic lawn tennis com
 petition defeating Miss Kathleen Nc Kane land Mrs. Phyllis coyell in the finals today, 7--5, Sd.
 The American woman champion
 and her efficient partner, took the
 championship by fighting a fine np- hin battle in both sets from the lead
 ing two tennis playing women of Great Britain. The British pair got a
 lead Of 5-2 in the first set, but the Americans came to time with a quick ened pace, working up 10 a speed that forced their opponents, particularly Mrs. Coyell. into errors
 Miss Wills was the bright and shin ing light of the match. She played with a steady hrlliance in every part of the court Her service was the best Of the four and her volleying for once was superior to that of Miss Mc- Kane. Mrs. Covell was the weak member of her team, while Mrs. Wightman lacked her usual steadi- ness. falling into lapses at times, but she was ever sound and steady when the situation looked dark for the Am ericans
 The British women once within a point of taking the second set at G-2. but Mrs. Covell's long drive that hit the baseline for what woul have been the winning point was called out. This seemed to upset her and she made a double fault on the service, then put a lob into the net and followed this by netting a drive, giving the Ameri- cans the game.
 Later. when one of Miss Wills drives close 10 the baseline was called good the crowd booed her. but the young Californian, as unperturbed as ever. went on serving well. and dnick- ly took the game with a placement.

SEN. WHEELER WILL
 BE CANDIDATE
tContlnued from First Page)

vas constant clashing between em- ployer and employe and between l. W. W. and trades unionists. When the United States was drawn into the war the struggles grew more deadly, and Wheeler was accused by his enemies of looking with too friendly and tolerant eye upon all the miners and their leaders. In 1918 President Wilson settled the issue by refusing 70 reappoint him as district attorney.
 Defeated For Governor
 Out of the schism grew a fight in side the dem ocratic party. In 1920, Wheeler was nominated for governor against the opposition of most of the regulars of his party but with the in dorsement of the non partisan league. Defeated in this campaign. he was promptly nominated in 1922 for the senate, with the same backing, and swept the field, coming down to Washington to align himself with the senate La Toilette group as one of it's most outspoken adherents.
 Cleared In Report
 Taking charge of the attack on former Attorney General Daugherty, he waged war as unreicnting a any of the Montana campaigns out of which he emerged to enatorship. In its midst he was indicted in his home state on a charge of accepting a fee for aiding a legal client to get oil land permits from the department of in terinr. The senator and his friends asserted the charge was entirely false. Framed up 10 discredit his investiga- ton. The senate, after special in- nliry, adopted almost without dis ssnt a committee report finding him innocent Of any law violation. either In letter or in spirit. The indictment still is pending
