NEW YORK, Aug. 17.-Consider.
alton involved in the recent advance
in the rediscount rate to 4 per cent
at this center has been causing Wall
Street to adopt an increasingly eau.
tious attitude and this tendency
was reflected in heavy selling of
stocks today.
Traders who were ready to throw
overheard their long holdings on the
. first signs Of hesitation in the gen
kral list. made large offerings when
Vsteel common and General Motors
developed reactionary tendencies.
This liquidation added momentum to
the downward trend which set in
toward noon after steel had estab-
lished a further record high at
1898.
In view OF the pressure on steel
the financial community devoted con-
siderable attention to a statement
that well-informed interests were not
looking for stock distribution either
in October or January.
AS heavy long positions had been
built up in steel in the expectations
of a general melon by early next
year a flood of selling was
precipitated and sharp break
occurred in the premier industrial.
This decline was accompanied by
heavy selling of General Motors
Du Pont, Allied Chemical, American
Can, General Electric and other
issues which had experienced ex-
tensive advances since the first Of
June.
Rails also were subjected t. con.
centrated pressure, but this section
of the market displayed much better
resistance than the industrials.

Military Funeral is
Given Percy A. Pennie
By Soldier Comrades

On March 1st, Mr. Percy A. Pen
ME passed away at his home, 1887
East Jefferson street, following a
brief illness. Mr.. Pennie, an ex-
service man, had been in failing
health for some time, but was not
considered in a serious condition, nor
was he confined to his bed until
only a short time before his death.
He was attended by DR.. Chas. Suit
and all that medical skill could do
to restore him to health was done
by this eminent physician.
Percy A Pennie was born March
26, 1888, in Chattanooga, Tenn. He
married Miss Frances Dixon, .Janu-
ary %, 1917, in Cincinnati, Ohio. and
later moved to Phoenix where they
have resided. He spent six years
in the Philippine Islands as mem
Der of the 25th Infantry, and at the
outbreak of the World War enlist
d and served with the A. E. F. in
France. He was honOrably dis
charged and apparently, was in good
health at that time. However, since
his discharge, he fell an easy victim
to the White Plague and for the

which the casket was draped, was
given the widow after the obseuuies.
The Rev R. H. Harbert, pastor
of the A. M. E. church, officiated at
the funeral services, and a large
concourse of friends followed the re-
mains to their last resting place.
The floral offerings were many and
beautiful. Besides the wife, the de-

COlOred Man Opens
First Class Thirst arlOr
and Confectionery

Mr.. and Mrs. Ben Dickson, recent
arrivals from Houston, Texas, have
purchased the fixtures of the Pao-
lima confectionery and soft drink en-
porium at 232 East Washington
street, and will open for busines sin
few days. This place is one of the
best equipped thirst parlors in Phoe-
nix, the fixtures all are of the latest
design and the most expensive type
obtainable.
Mr.. Dickson spent nineteen years
in Mexico City, where he conducted a
flourishing and successful business.
Selling out his interest there, he
came to Houston, Texas two years
ago and bought half interest in one
of the leading drug stores in that
city. Hearing of Phoenix and the
wonderful opportunities offered for
investment, he made visit, and be-
fore he was here 48 hours had closed
the deal for the purchase of Paolina's
refreshment parlor.
Mr.. Dickson said the place will be
conducted in high class manner and
you don't have to buy something to
be made welcome. He plans to make
it mecca for our people, where the
ladies of the race may come in and
rest, have a cold drink, dish of ice
cream, sandwich, or enjoy light
lunch. Experienced colored girl
mattresses will be employed 60 serve
you, and he wants you to feel at home
in his place. His many years ex-
perience in dealing with the public
fits him to conduct just such place
as this for the people of Phoenix.
Popular prices will prevail, as Mr.
Dickson said he is not here for few
weeks or a few months, but to re-
main permanently. He has taken a
long lease on the building and will
cater to the public. Meet your friends
at Dickson's, where everybody goes.
The grand opening will be held
March 80. Cancel your other en-
gagements so you can be there. They
plan to open in grand style and in
vite all the people of Phoenix to at
tend the grand opening. 1t will be
something worthwhile. Let's go!
