the moving picture studio by
Paul Dickey and Man Page, in
which the scintillating celluloid
is used as an instrument to snare
crooks, has been picturized. and
is coming to the Gregg theatre
next Monday.
Action centers around a young
acenario writer named Eggs,
seeking material for new play.
A mysterious stranger called
,.Sea Bass" promises to supply
him with a real novelty, drawn
from his own experience, and
after conference, Eggs decides
that the idea has merit. Seas
motive in wishing to collaborate
in the making of a moving pic
ture is peculiar one. An un-
derworld friend of his, : Hair
pin" Annie, has a score to settle
with a certain criminal named
High-Shine Joe, who is in South
America. and Sea has guaranteed
to help her. BY including in the
proposed picture a characterize
ton which Joe cannot help iden-
tifying as himself. accentuating
his evil traits and making him
out as dirty dog, Sea hopes to
arouse Joe's anger to a point
where he will be induced tore
turn to the States for vengeance,
ana thus be trapped.
The ruse succeeds, but it also
brings the police down on the
innocent Eggs, for Sea has sug-
gested to him, detail for detail,
a reproduction of the Austin bank
robbery, the perpetrator of which
has not been apprehended. The
police believe that nobody but an
eye witness of the crime would
be able to give so accurate pic
ture.
High-Shine Joe arrives at the
studio to get his revenge, and
walks into a scene planned for
the actor who impersonates him.
The hero, according to direct
ions, attacks him and the ensu-
ing fight, real one, is truthful
ly recorded on the film. Joe f.
nally gets the drop on the entire
outfit, and is about to kill Eggs.
when Annie hollers to the cleo
trician, Lights OUT. The
stage is plunged in darkness and
several shots ring out. When
the lights go on, Sea has captur-
ed Joe, but at that moment the
police arrive to arrest them all
for comblicity in the robbery.

HOW TO INVEST
YOUR MONEY
BY BAYARD DOMINICK.
President OF New York Better
Business Bureau.

As to the Rate of Return.-Having
made reasonably sure that the in
vestment will bear interest or divi-
dends regularly, the investor should
examine the rate Of return available
on purchases made at the current
market price. To the extent that he
is able to realize much more than a
fair return--say per cent-he will
know in most cases that special care
in the investigation Of such Sc
curity is necessary. II one or more
of the tests for quality cannot be
met he should know why. Sound in
vestments do not have to yield higher
than average rates to attract real in
vestors.
Income From Stocks VS.. That From
Ronds.-Good bonds Of a solvent conf
pany texcept income bonds, which
are entitled to interest only as earn
ed) should always pay interest. De-
faults in this regard give bondhold-
ers or their trustees a legal action.
Corporate notes, such as debentures,
also carry with them a definite obli-
cation to pay interest periodically.
Not so in the case Of stocks. A COM
pany may pay dividends to its stock
holders but 1t has no legal obIiga-
tion to do 20,

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS

More About Credit Unions.

In my last article had something to
say about the credit union, the CO.
operative banking institution which
mobilizes the savings of the wage Garner
and the small farmer. Some of the re-
suits achieved by these credit unions
are amazing.
For example. the first credit union
organized in North America, at Lewis
in the Province of Quebec, Canada, 2S
years ago. started with an initial capital
of S26, and has done business amount
ing to more than $12.000.000. credit
union organized at Cambridge, Mass.
early in 1921, with a membership OF Is
subscribing to So shares with total re-
ceipts on the opening night Of $1,000,
about year and half later had assets
totaling over $500. Illustrations OF
this sort could be multiplied indefinitely.
In no other form Of savings associa-
tons, as far as | am aware, Is there
such a remarkable eNempiification OF
the power of small sums consistently
set aside to grow and do useful work
as Is found in a study of the operations
Of these credit unions. This is brought
about by strict adherence to certain
fundamental rules. Here are some of
the rules:
Officers cannot borrow. nor can they
become indorsers for borrowers. Every
member has one vote regardless of the
number OF shares he may hold. Loans
are made exclusively to members. and
the management is selected entirely
from the membership. Overhead eX-
pense is kept at the minimum. At the
start the officers serve without COM
pensation. When the organization is
formed among the employees of cor
poration there is generally no charge
for rent. desk room being provided by
the employer. The purpose of loans is
carefully scanned by a credit commit
tee in a position to know the circum-
stances of the borrower. Loans are re-
paid on the installment plan.
Credit unions are in no sense COM
petitors with commercial banks. The
average bank could not afford the cost
of investigation necessary to such small
leans nor would such a business be
profitable to bank under any circum-
stances. Neither are they competitors
to the saving banks. for they accept
sums as low as 10 cents week. Final
ly, and most surprising of all to those
unacquanted with the system, the unions
do not make bad loans. Recorded losses
are almost negligible.

CROP PREPORTH HEAD
FAv0RS CHANGES
CaIIander Says Forecasts on
Cotton Before August |
Are Too Uncertain.
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, November 2S.-Dis-
continuance of cotton crop forecasts
prior to August l or August l6 each
season was recommended by w. f..
Callander, chairman of the Federal
Crop Reporting Board, in an address
to members of the New York Cotton
Exchange here yesterday. This would
not mean the elimination of early
acreage or condition reports, but the
discontfnuance of forecasts in num-
bers of bales of cotton, he explained.
Things may occur to affect the
crop later in the season, SO that any
forecast made prior to August Is is
likely to be radically changed" Mr
Callander asserted in putting forth
his proposal, referring to the possible
effect Of weather and other factors.
On the question of semi-monthly
reports, he said the Department of
Agriculture feels it is too early to
pass final judgment on their real
value, but that while undoubtedly
they have caused the market to
fluctuate considerably on the day Of
their issuance, the range In cotton
prices this year Is considerably less
than last year, and the actual devil
alton of closing prices during the
season is only slightly greater than
last year.
"It is possible" he added. that If
the plan of closing the exchange for
Is minutes after issuance of the re-
port had been in effect during the
entire season much of the COM
plant which has arisen concerning
these reports would not have oc-
Cured"
