TREND ON, Curb
IS DOWNWARD
Fear Of Overproduction
Forces Oil Stocks
Lower

NEW YORK, April 14.-Stcck
prices developed a decidedly reaction
airy trend in today's curb market with
bear traders making substantial inroads
in the quoted values of oif shares for
the first time since the present de-
cline started. Liquidation of the oils
was based on reports that the higher
crude prices had resulted in the drill
ing of so many new wells as to re-
vive the danger of overproductioB.
Losses of 1 to 21s points were es-
tablished by Standard Oils of Indiana,
Kentucky, Nebraska and Ohio. Vacuum,
Cities Service and Prairie Oil and Gas,
while South Pennsylvania Oil broke 5
points.
Strength Of National Tea, which rose
from its initial quoted price of 322
on Saturday to 1874. was the outstand-
ing development in the industrial group.
The advance in this issue followed the
increase from So to So in the quar-
terly dividend, which was taken to in
dictate that stockholders would be given
great participation in the profits of
the company, most of which previously
were reinvested in the business. Du-
rant Motors broke to another record
low at 1872 and Lehigh Power securi-
ties dropped / u points to 81.

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect It
Applicants for Insurance Should
Use Swamp-Root

Judging from reports from druggists
who are CONSTANTLY in direct touch With
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions The mild and healing
influence Of DIR. Kilmer's swamp Root Is
soon realized IL stands the highest for
its remarkable record Of success.
An examining physician for one Of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, IN
an interview Of the subject. made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re
jected is because kidney trouble IA 40
common 10 the American people, and the
large majority Of those whose applications
are declined do not even suspect that
they have the disease. DIR. kilmer's
Swamp Root is on sale at all drug stores

Asad beheld huddle of men and
women-though the proportion OF
women was very small--of all ages
races and conditions; there were pale
fafr-haired men from France or the
north; olive-skinned Italians and
swarthy Spaniards, negroes and half
castles; there We're old men, young men
and mere children, some handsomely
dressed, some almost naked, others
hung in rags. In the hopeless de.
lection of their countenances alone
was there any uniformity. But ii
was not detection that could awaken
pity in the pious heart of Asad. They
were unbelievers who would never
look upon the face of Gods prophet,
eccursed and unworthy of any ten
derness from man. For moment his
glance was held by lovely black
haired Spanish girl, who sat with her
locked hands held fast between her
knees, in an attitude of intense de.
spair and suffering-the glory of her
eyes increased and magnified by the
dark brown stains of sleeplessness
surrounding them. Leaning on Tsa-
manni's arm, he stood considering
her for little while; then his glance
Travelled on. Suddenly he tightened

a quick interest leaped into his sal
low face.
On the uppermost tier of the pen
that he was facing sat a very glory
Of womanhood, such a woman as he
had heard tell existed but the like
of which he had never yet beheld. She
was tall and graceful as a cypress
tree; her skin was white as milk; her
eyes two darkest sapphires, her head
Of a coppery golden that seemed to
glow like metal as the sunlight caught
it, She was dressed in a close gown
OF white. the bodice cut low and re.
vealed the Immaculate loveliness of
her neck.
Asad-ed.Din turned to Ali. What
pearl is this that hath been cast upon
this dung heap?" he asked.
"She Is the woman our lord Sakr-
el-Bahr carried off from England"
Slowly the Basha's eyes returned to
consider her, and insensble though
she had deemed herself by now, he
saw her cheeks slowly reddening un-
der the cold insult of his steady, in
sistent glance. The glow heightened
her beauty, effacing the WEAKNESS
which the face had worn.
Bring her FORTH" said the Basha
shortly.
She was seized by two of the ne.
eroes, and to avoid being roughly
handled by them she came at once,
bracing herself to bear with dignity
whatever might await her. A golden
haired young man beside her. his
face haggard and stubbled with
beard of some growth. looked up in
alarm as she was taken from his
side. Then, with a groan, he made
as IL to clutch her, but a rod fell
upon his raised arms and beat them
down.
Asad was thoughtful. 1t was Fen

.sahr had risked so much to snatch
from England, suggesting that in her

New York. May fiddle Can
tor has become. next to Al Jolson,
the highest salaried actor in Ameri-
ca. His income from the stage and
phonograph royalties is $500, 900. Can
Tor is one of the amazing prodigies OF
the stage.
He was raised on the East Side
sidewalks and Is in his early thirties.
He comes of Jewish parentage
and began his public appearance as
u singing waiter in one of the Coney
Island beer halls where the tables
were filled with ladies of the evening.
Later he became black-face com
edian and 4 featured member Of the
rollies. Today he is starring sans

comedies lie is married and has
four children. orr stage he resem'

sees in New York.
Max Hart, a theatrical agent, gave
Eddie his first job. lie doesn't need
an agent now. Any producer would
welcome him with open arms but FOR
sentimental reasons Cantors check
FOR $500 goes to Hart each week.
They have never had, a contract.
Cantor was for years a wastrei in
finance although he neither smokes
nor drinks He was always trying to
beat tho market and as usual lost.
He was on the sucker list of every
stock salesman. A few years ago he
had a bank take care of his money
matters. Now he is rich.
Jolson's salary is said to be more
than 100000 a year. His annual
revenue is increasing by song writing
and phonograph records. Jolson has
also become rich, but like Cantor has
the sporting instinct and plunges on
the ponies.
The third highest salaried actor Is
probably Leon Enrol. the comedian
which goes to show that comedy pays
the highest dividends-the three lead
ing In salaries are comedians.
