There appear to be some misgiv-
ings over the political outlook with
expressions of anxiety over the pos
sible results of the autumn congress.
sional elections. Regardless of such
changes as may or may not take
place In the personnel of the Houses
Of Congress, it seems to be clearly
indicated that business sentiment
over the country in general strongly
favors the continuation in power of
the executive branch Of the present
Administration.
r strong money and credit con-
dN3Shs now prevailing and the sound
and healthy conditions general
throughout business and industry,
promises a well maintained scale of
activity in the major enterprises Of
the country. Corporate earnings
promise to reach all justifable ex.
pectations. Under these circum.
stances, it is believed that such de-
ctnes as may take place in the Sc
curitS markets will be largely in the
nature of recessions to correct I'M
healthy internal market conditions
which ultimately will lay the basis
for a vigorous assertion of values in
sound and seasoned securities.

BIZ Times Snecia,

~ Times Special
NEW YORK, Oct. 12--Price move
ments in the security markets of
late have been characterized by puz-
zling irregularity with sentiment
sharply divided. No decided tend
ency has been present for some time,
and the ups and downs of the mar
ket have been more in response to
technical factors than fundamental
conditions. This has given the mar
ket a somewhat illogical appearance.
Much Of the confusion, both in the
way of price movements and opin-
ions resulting therefrom may be
traced to the fact that under the
cover of the advance in sound secur-
tiles many issues have been advanced
far beyond their value based either
on current earnings or future pros
poets. AS soon as the market shows
hesitation or sentiment grows less
confident, the weakness in the over
bulled issues becomes quickly appar-
emit and violent collapses ensue, thus

Is Sound

So far as underlying conditions
are concerned, the market is in a
sound position. 1t is passing through
a period of exceptional prosperity,
with both production and distribu-
ton running at high speed. Never
theless, there is no evidence of over
production or undue excess in the
way of purchases. Seldom has there
been time in our business history
when temperance and self-restraint
were more clearly evident. SEASONAL
declines are making their appearance
in various industries. 1t is not at
all unlikely that in some of our
major activities we have seen the
peak for some time to come. There
Is, however, no indication of a re-
cession that should seriously affect
security values. Money is plenti-
full for all legitimate needs, but the
knowledge that there is no big sur
plus to be used for unbridled specu-
layion acts as a check upon hurtful
activities.

GIRLS TOUR,
BUT LAND
IN PRISON
Two, Charged With Vehicle
Taking, Say They Only
Caught Rides

Tired of attending industrial
schools and working as domestics,
two girls a few days ago decided to
become tourists and mixers.
Today the same two girls, lodged
in city prison, were bound over TO
the grand jury on charges of vehicle
taking, grand larceny and unlawful
possession of an auto. The two,
who deny the charges, gave their
names as Doris Beisen, 10, Hunting
ton and Madison, Ind, and Mary
Batey. 10, New Albany, Ind.
Police say they stole an auto be-
longing to Arthur l.. Jehrson, 5657
N. Delaware ST., here and drove it
this, and tell this story:
Sent to Home
Miss Batey, reared for a time by
an aunt, was sent to her home at
louisville, Ind, when the aunt was
unable to support her
Later she was placed in a home
on n. Delaware ST., Indianapolis, as
a domestic by the State board of
children's GUARDIANS. Miss Beisen,
who lived at Madison, was placed
in an orphans home at Huntington,
Ind. She, too, was sent into a home
on n. Delaware ST., not far from the
home where Miss Batey worked.
They met.
Miss Beisen had IS and Miss Batey
no money when they decided to leave
their jobs and take to the wide open
spaces.
Asked for Ride
Seeing an auto at Pennsylvania
and Washington SITS, with an out
State license, they asked for a ride.
They were given a lift to Cincinnati,
Ohio. Then, posing as mixers, they
rode to Covington. Ky, and again
obtained a ride to Bowling Green,
Ky. They tried to get work and
finally landed i'm Louisville. Ky.
where they appealed to Travellers Aid
officials and secured transportation
to New Albany, according to their
story.
1t was there that State Policeman
Joe Shinn found them and charged
them with auto theft.

REHEARSALS NOT

Do Not Reflect What Actually

New York, Dec. IT R(-Rehears- als. whether of opera, musical comedy or motion picture, are en- crossing work, lacking the glamor that audiences associate with stage life.
 They are business-like affairs, during which the artists and direc- tors apparently forget all else. Even noises of mechanical activities that give the stage the appearance of a workshop are little needed, except In the opera rehearsal when ears are attuned to musical notes that must be faithfully executed.
 Bored When Off Stage
 Visitors are distracting and there fore barred. But here is an idea of what takes place.
 In the center of a stage com- edian is going through his "busi- ness" Suddenly cue is given and young man starts pounding a melody out of a piano. dozen girls in working clothes-dresses, bathing suits or costumes that look like rompers-dance onto the stage followed by the chorus men, auto maticaily smiling, and begin singing. Soon the music stops, the chorus smiles its way out and the come dian picks up his antics and batter where he left off.
 It is a musical comedy company hard at work The members of the cast are seriously alert while they are on the stage. but when awaiting their turn in the wings they appear bored. Property men and mechanlcs meanwhile are moving scenery ana hammering away at some bit of car pentry. The few who are intent upon the rehearsal, however, are oblivious of the noise.
