an unemployment insurance fund OF
more than $1.200.000, originally con-

pointed by Gov. Smith, and now
jointly borne by employers and en-

Workers pay into the fund l per

ST. PATR|CK'S CLUB
OPENS 9TH SEASON
Players to Present "The
Holy City" at National Thea
ter Tomorrow Night.

Inauguration of the sixth season or
the St. Patrick's Players tomorrow
night with the presentation of The
Holy City" at the National Theater,
will mark another step forward IN
the history of a Washington organi-
zation that has advanced from small
parish club to one of the noted
dramatic organizations of the East.
All of the more than 500 perform
ances by the St. Patrick's Players
during the past five years have been
given without profit to the actors or
their organization-the entire pro-
ceeds having been contributed to
charity. Their receipts in this period
have been more than $4,000: they
have played to more than 200, 900 per-
sons. and % organizations have bene-
flied from their revenues.
Credit Given Father Hurney.
A large part of the credit for the
success of the organization, accord
ing to the members, goes to the Rev.
Francis J. Hurney. assistant pastor
of st. Patrick's Church. Six years
ago he conceived a plan of organise
ing the talent of his parish and de-
veloping it through the presentation
of entertaining productions. The
younger persons in the parish re-
ceived the idea enthusiastically and
ters of Washington, having outgrown
Carroll Hall, where the shows were
first presented, and where they are
still rehearsed.
All the scenery and costumes for
the production are made by the or
ganization. For the latest production,
Miss Madeline Baker has designed
and executed more than 800 period
costumes. An electrical tableau which

constructed in the workshop of the
Players.
While much laudatory comment has
been spread about the Players, their
founder and spiritual director has al
ways remained modestly in the back
ground. Born in Washington.
Father Hurney made his preparatory
College, st. Charles College and at ST.
Mary's Seminary and University.
Baltimore.
Receives Degrees.
At the latter institution he received
the degree of A. NJ. anC S. T. B. He
was stationed at st. Charles College
as professor Of English and Latin,
and then assigned to the Sacred Heart
Church here, where he served four
years as curate. When the World
War came he was assigned as chap
was employed in escorting ships to
Europe and doing raider duty.
Father Hurney is a past department
chaplain of the American Legion in
Washington, chaplain of Costello
Legion Post. chaplain of Washington
Council, Knights of Columbus, and a
member of the City Club. He won
>eommendation for his work in the
knickerbocker disaster.
Players Get Tribute.
Perhaps the most striking tribute
to the success of the Players is the
fact that Fortune Gallo, the grand
opera impresario, wants the Players
to tour the large cities of the East
under his direction the coming Sum-
mer This offer is now being consid-
cred and may be accepted IL the cast
can arrange their vacations, to make

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.
Redemption of Preferred Stocks.

There has been a good deal of dis
cussion recently as TO the possibility
of the calling for redemption by pros
ferrous corporations OF their preferred
stocks In cases where the company
has reserved the right to retire stock
ut a certain price.
Money market conditions in many
instances would make it profitable to
provide funds for the retiring of I
Der cent preferred stock by the issue
OF debenture bonds at q lower rate or
even by selling an issue Of common
stock. Sometimes, also, large cash
balances have accumulated which
would make it possible to pay off in
.eart at least an issue Of preferred
stock and save the dividends which
would otherwise be paid TO the holders
of the preferred for the owpers Of the
common.
1t does not follow. however, that be-
cause such an operation would be
profitable the directors would adopt
it. There is another consideration
IN be taken into account, and
that is the advantage it is to a cor
,,oration to have as many people as
POSSIBLE interested in its financial
prosperity Public utilities are, keenly
alive to this side of the question and
industrial corporations are not indif
ferent to 1t.
II Is only investors who hold pre-
ferred issues which sell above the
callable price in any case that are con-
cerned, inasmuch as ii the stock sells
below the redeemabie figure they will
have a profit. They should remember
however, that when a preferred issue
does sell higher than the price at
which 1t can be called it is a tribute
the market pays to the high character
ef the investment. 1t means that pur-
chasers are willing to take the chance
Of a small loss in principal for the
sake of the security of income.
On the other hand, callable preferred
stocks never bring as high price as
non-callable issues otherwise of equal
merit in times of advancing prices for
high.grade investment securities as
& group.

advancing IL points to 1S5, where II
was at a new high. The sharp ad-
vance in this stock, however. was not
surprising in view Of the high sell
