NEW YORK, August 20.-Oil stocks
absorbed good deal of speculative in
terest in the operations on the curb
exchange today. This class of stocks
had showed signs of recovery late
Wednesday, and the improvement was
extended today following the estimates
of the American Petroleum Institute,
which disclosed a falling off of 21 ,450
barrels daily on domestic crude out
put during the week ended August Is.
Magnolia Petroleum at 140, COM
pared with the previous final of 1884
and special buying came into the mar
ket for Standard of New York and
Humble. 1t was evident that good
deal of the buying represented cover
ing of short contracts, but at the
same time new commitments were
being made on the long side on belief
that the oils were now coming into
their own.

EXPERTS FORECAST
ACTIVE FALL TRADE
Chicago Business Men Pre-
dict Excellent Merchandising
Conditions in Early Future.
BY the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, August 20.-More active
business, a probable increase in freight
volume. and excellent general mer-
chandising conditions were forecast
for this Fall by three Chicago busi
ness experts. George NJ Rey-
nolds, chairman of the board of the
Continental and Commercial National
Bank; Samuel o. Dunn, editor of
Railway Age, and James Simpson,
president of Marshall Field & Co.,
made statements.
Business is more active than last
year" said Mr.. Reynolds. Figures
for carloadings, bank debts and manu-
featuring shows this. Moreover, a
feeling of confidence now exists. The
farming situation again is favorable,
generally as to production and certain
ly as to price.
with such a prospect, we natural
~ want to know the outlook for the
banks and the money market.
Adequate Credit Assured.
'I see no reason to worry about any
credit stringency. The ration of loans
to deposits for member banks is low
enough to indicate adequate credit
Alarm over large investment holdings
is unnecessary. There may be some
liquidation of securities to meet sea
SOnal demands, but commercial banks
will have no trouble and reserve banks
are in a strong position TO help.
"AS to money rates, l expect just
about the usual Fall increase. The de-
mand for money will work in this di-'
rection."
Mr.. Dunn said: present indications
are that railroad freight business dur
ing the rest of the year will be as
large as, and, in fact, in most parts of
the country, larger than it ever has
been in the last one-third of any pre-
vious year. The weekly carloadings re-
Gently have exceeded those of CORE
spending weeks Of 1924 and 1928. They
are not an exact measure of ship
ments. but analysis of the statistics of
loadings shows that the actual num-
ber of tons of freight being shipped is
substantially larger than a year ago,
and approximately the same as in
1928, the record year.
There are several good reason for
believing that the increase in ship
ments will continue. Total freight bust
ness during any period depends upon
general business conditions. upon coal
shipments and upon the crops.
Freight business promises to break
records in most sections. but this can
not be said of the Central, Western
and Northwestern parts of the coun-
try, because of the Panama Canal
competition and other causes"

What Experts Buy.

Trained investors always buy Sc
curities that have & substantial loan
value. One of the surest methods of
determining the value of any stock
is to seek a loan on it. If your banker
declines to consider 1t as collateral
you can rest assured its marketability
does not amount to much.

REASONS WHY JURIES
SELDOM CONVICT
AVERAGE CITIZEN IS LENIENT
WITH CRIMINALS FOR
VARIOUS CAUSES.

Why do juries fail to convict to the
extent that is apparent to any one
who has the opportunity to observe!
Their 1axity is because OF mediocre
mentality, dislike OF responsibility and
the well-established American inc1ina-
ton to stand for anything, even crime,
if it causes us much personal incon-
venience, says Police Magazine We
cannot overlook as contributory caus-
es the acknowledged fact that our
court system is below par and that
our system for selecting jurors could
be tremendously improved upon. Our
national record of 10000 homicides,
plus, for 1923 is something that should
cause us a little sober thought, TO put
the matter conservatively. Compared
with the British figure OF approximate
ly $50 for the same period we have
little to offer in excuse Tor the charge
OF lawlessness. A figure that shows
human life to be seventeen times safer
in England than in the United States,
or, that makes living in the United
States seventeen times as dangerous
as in England is something worth
thinking about. AS a matter of fact a
murderer in the United States has to
risk only about one chance in ten OF
execution, while in Britain he has al
most no likelihood OF escape Why?
AS a general thing our law is based
on English law, and that is good. In
England a murderer is frequently ar
rested, tried, convicted and executed
within five or six weeks of his crime.
A trial that takes over three days is

cate that corn was received at the
court as tribute from parts OF the en-
pire before the discovery OF America.
This has been taken by some students
as pointing to an Asiatic origin OF the
plant, but the general opinion is that
America was the home OF corn, and
that if it appeared in China before the
voyage OF Columbus its presence rath-
er indicates a pre-Columbian traffic
between America and Asia.
Different" Dishes.
I'm the United States corn finds its
most important use as food for live
stock. Millions of bushels, however,
are exported to Europe, and other
millions are used as raw materials in
industries. Corn starch, corn oil and
glucose are the principal products now
manufactured, though in the past years
considerable quantities OF corn were
used in the making Of spirituous hq-
uOrs.
Much corn is used as food in the
United States, especially in the south
and in parts OF the west. The dishes
prepared from corn meal are to a con-
extent localized.

battles such as characterize our Grim
inal practice.
The average American citizen may
shrug his shoulders and insist that
personally he feels that there should
be more liberty OF action than it grant
ed; that after all it is better that ten
guilty escape than that one innocent
suffer, and that anyway we get along
pretty we'll. 1t is difficult to show
him that the intolerable crime record
OF the United States must bear rela-
ton to the rising costs of living and
government; that the tax rate must be
affected by the leniency OF juries; that
you cannot permit swindlers to exact
a toll of billion a year without the
decent citizen paying his distributed
apportionment, and that the cost OF
10000 murders year must be settled
out of lost industrial production.

After looking over the names SUB
mitted by the committee of sport
writer's for this years All-American
Baseball Team, changed my mind, l
really had a team picked a month
ago but, when / saw the names sub.
mitted by the experts, l weakened and
substituted players in several posi-
tions.
For those who might be curious and
also because it shows how close the
merits of some rival players are, L
don't mind admitting l switched from
Heilmann to Cuyler, from Bancroft
to Wright, from Hartnctt to Cochrane
and firhlly l changed from Coyeleskle
to Rommell.
On the Yankees last Western trip
[ found more interest in this year S
team than any other year. Maybe it's
because so many new stars have come
along. l talked to sports editors run
ming the All-American Contest in
Washington, Detroit, Chicago and 9th
er cities and they tell me the fans
have swamped them with letters. The
editor of the Louisville paper says
the contest busted all records in the
Derby City-where the pennant bee
has been buzzing loud.
WRITER'S DIFFER.
But from the question popped Mt me
all along the line, the fans of the
country are about as close together on
the All-American team as the vets
and drys. I'll bet there aren't q
dozen fans in America who woult
agree on the same ten players.
But that isn't all. Look at the
committee of writer's who helped me
pick the team. There are ten writer;
on this committee, representing every
city in both major leagues. Thcs(
men are professional baseball writers
who study biz league players day aft
er day and season after season. But
lust look how they differ. Take thu
position of first base for example
The writer's divide their ten votes be
tween four men. In the Outfield clever
men are named to fill three posi-
tions.
The reason bring out this pOint
is to console the many fans whos'
selections failed to match the Off
cial lineup. After all, it's just mat
ter of personal opinion where thcrt
are so many star players of about thu
same ability. But the mistake i fine
most common is the tendency toward
naming players on grounds of friend
shin and admiration re- her than oil
