REGRETS CALLING
 DR. STRAT0N LIAR
WeySOld, Artist, Wrought Up
 Over Fundanentahst'S Remarks

Louisville, Ky, Aug. 2e LPt--Fred- nrick Weygold, an artist, who shouted liar" at the Rev. pr. John Straton when the latter had con- cluded an address on evolution here Monday night. IS sorry for his breach Of etiquette"
 Tn statement published today the artist who was held to the grand jury under $500 bond for hts out burst, eaid he was wrought up by the "unjustifable and insulting" re. marks of the fundamentalist.
 Dr. Straton, using Germany as an illustration in his sermon, said that in the days of Luther, Goethe and schiller, there was a Germany of kindness, of love, of children and ct the Christmas tree" But, he added. "aIl this was succeeded by a Prus- siani2ed Germany, the result of teachings of Netzsche."
 It was then that Mr, weygold leaped to his feet and shouted "Dr. Straton, you're liar. I lived and studied in Germany for 20 years and you are a liar"
 Over the protest of Dr. straton, who wished to reply to Mr. Wey- gold's remarks, the artist was taken to police station where charges of interrupting public speaker were placed against him.
 "Dr. Straton in his discussion at- tributes to the doctrines taught by ereloutiOnists and modernists much current crime and immortality and even the World war" WcyRolds statement said.
 "When Dr. Straton had finished l arose and made motion to attract the attention of Dr. Straton. Observing that he nodded toward me in way that I took to be recogni- ton and permission to speak, I made the remarks that led to my arrest.
 T wish to confess frankly that being rather wrought up at what considered unjustihable and insult ing attacks on persons, who like myself, are modernlsts and evolu- tionists, I overstepped the bounds of parliamentary etiquette. This I re- gret."

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
THE TIME TO INVEST.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

ono question often asked is wheth-
er this is good time to invest. What
tho inquirer means, of course, Is
whether the securities tho purchase
OF which he has in mind are going to
advance. Ordinarily he does not
phrase 1t this way but that is what
Is In the back Of his mind.
Probably the best answer is similar
to that given by the horticultural
authority who was asked when was
the best time to prune your orchard.
The answer was when your knife
Is sharp. So the best time to invest is
when one has the money. That may
or may not be the best time to specu-
late, assuming there Is any best time
Tor. that generally expensive recrea-
ton. There is some choice about the
grade Of security in which one should
put funds at any particular time, but
there Is always opportunity in one
line or another. Certainly this Is
true OF investment bonds
The case is somewhat different
with common stocks. even those of
investment quality Here it is true
that one must exercise a good deal of
discrimination as to the time to buy
and more still as to the time to sell.
In fact, 1t is this matter of picking
a time to sell which troubles the
average holder Of common stock. 1
am not speaking of those who trade
in the market, buying and selling on
margin from day to day, but OF those
who actually take up their stocks,
have them registered in their own
names and put them away in their
safe deposit boxes.
Sooner or later there comes a
period of stock market activity ac-
companied by rapidly rising prices,
sometimes the good, bad and indiffer-
ent all going up together. Then the
investor who has purchased his
shares at a much lower level is
confronted with the problem as to
whether he should dispose of his
holdings at a profit and relnvest in
something else. No matter what the
decision, the chances are it will be
regretted. Every one wants to pick
the top and only one in a thousand
succeeds II you insist on buying
common stocks for investment you
will have to wrestle with this prob
lem unaided as we'll as to take your
chances in q falling market.

NEW YORK, February 21-Prices
for the most part have gone higher
on the stock exchange during the
past week, and some of the individual
advances have been rather striking.
In this accomplishment those who
have been favorably disposed to the
Wall street outlook all along natu-
rally take a good deal of satisfaction.
On the other hand, those who think
that the upward movement of Novem-
Der and December was overdone, that
it went too far ahead of business
improvement, simply claim that GER
either technically or as regards earn
ings, have been bid up to conceal
selling in other directions.
1t will be interesting to see how
this market condition works out
Practically never in the past has it
happened that sensational rises of
S, 10 and Is points a day in selected
shares have been anything but harm
full to the list as whole. This
occasion may prove an exception, but
IL so 1t will be most surprising.
There are, of course, certain railway
stocks which are legitimately entitled
to higher valuations, not so much be-
cause Of consolidation plans as be-
cause of increased earning power,
permitting of a distribution of divi-
dends where this has not occurred
before, or an increase in dividends
where payments are now being made
More split-Ups Due.
There are certain industrials which
unquestionably are planning larger
payments to their shareholders, but
which do not like to do so under the
present form of capitalization. They
would like to raise rates from IS, 50
and $40 a share to $50, but this would
attract too much notoriety. The
alternative is a capital spltt-up of
the now familiar kind, under which
present holders would receive four or
five shares of new stock for one of
the old and get 81 to IS dividends on
the new security. This is the modern
way of doing business. 1t quite ex-
plains why inside holders of high
priced industrials are not selling their
present stock and therefore why pro-
fessionals are able to enter the mar
ket and bid these up successfully. The
important holders, of course. are
waiting for a recapitalization which

Larger Payments Likely Several Industrials

The Outlook.

the lower valuation Of the new shares,
Will not stir up too much comment
Reason for Strength.
The desire to put these recapitaliza-
ton plans through probably goes
farther than anything else to explain
the continued strength Of the market.
Inc public will not buy, except
reluctantly, stocks selling around $3.50
to $3.50 share. But II these are
split-up into four or five parts, where
they are made out as medium priced
issues OF successful companies, paying
dividends which involve an attractive
return, then outsiders will buy. This
IS the great scheme back Of present.
day Wall Street operations. Distribu-
ton Is certainly not accomplished by
wild bidding up of old-time stocks
But 1t Is accomplished when these
stocks are presented to the public in
div1dend form, yet attractive be-
cause of the high interest yield.
French Position Stronger.
The most interesting episode OF the
week was the expert handling of the
market for French francs and French
government bonds. No positive infor-
nation has been obtainable along this
line. But the supposition is that the
Bank of France, working with the
French government, interviewed on
Monday, when it looked as IL the
franc was again going to pieces, and
offered effective support. At the same
time the French dollar bonds recov-
cred from their artificial SUSTAINING
orders the majority of the Street be-
lieved that such orders were in the
market.
Money rates for the longer period
have hardened slightly as compared
with week ago, but the movement
has been too slight to affect invest
ment values. 1t looks as If the ex-
treme low of the money market was
reached last Summer and that, at the
same time, prices Of investment Sc
curities got to their top. But this is
very different thing from predicting
any big change in the near future.
Gold is going out of the country in
large volume. More credit is needed
in commercial lines. The speculation
in stocks and in wheat has been an
other source for tying up banking
