STOCKS SELLING
HIGH ON HOPES !,
SAYS BANKER
Nv B. G. FORBES

By b. q. FORBES
Some stocks are selling unwar-
rantedly high on too-rosy hopes.
Others. including several stan
dapd railway issues, are selling on
a rational basis as measured by
actual earnings.
Such is the carefully reasoned
verdict Of one student Of invest
ments whose Judgment IS very
highly valued by those familiar
with his unusual knowledge and his
ripe experience. f. j. Lisman, head
of his own New York Stock Elk
change firm of investment bankers.
I asked Mr.. Lisman to ana1yze
the stock market, fearlessly, for
readers OF this column.
Here Is the gist of his pro-
nouncements:
D0n't Be = Bear
Don't be a bear on America
and the people who refused to
back Graham Bell missed an OPP
portunity to make millions Prob
ably no two slogans have been
more grossly abused than these.
The Germans. on the other hand,
have . saying, God Almighty
looks to 1t that the trees win not
groW into the sky.
Many stocks are now selling at
prices euual to from 20 to rs
times their present net earnings.
This, is justified by some people
on the theory that, while the
cash return may be only per
cent and an equal amount OF
earnings is put back into the
property, the future indicates e.
further increase In earning ca.
pacity possibly an increase Of
so per cent to even 100 per cent
in the course Of the next two or
three years.
This Is equivalent to saying
that such market price In ad.
mittedly too high for the pres
ent but that it discounts future
prosperity several years ahead Of
time.
Feeling Of Optimism
Much money has been made I'm
times past by those who guessed
the future correctly, and much
has been lost by those who
guessed Incorrectly or who were
too optimistic. An atmosphere OF
optimism has been developed in
the security markets to such an
extent that anyone who has sug.
gested prices cannot 70 up for
ever has been looked upon az q
pessin1ist and az q bear on the
future or America This point Of
view IS mt unusual in times of
a bull market, just as extreme
pessimisrn generally sychronfzed
with the lowest price level Of q
bear market.
Nearly everyone sees that his
own business Is pretty good:
This makes him feel cheerful and
induces him to spend money
freely. Hence great optimism.
leading him to believe that his
business Is going to expand in.
definitely. The opposite feeling
prevails during period of de-
preston. Another proverb which
might be remembered at times is
Things are never as good nor as
bad as they seem
The business Of the country,
with the exception of few
fairly important industries, is ex-
cellent: In fact, at record height.
In view Of the good crops with
fair prices this fall. there Is no
Indication OF any serious business
reaction.

WALES IS ACTING
KING OF ENGLAND
Doctors Orders. May Leave Ruler
ship to Prince for Months,
in Any Event.
Rx the AssocIated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, December 15.-Because of
the illness of King George, the Prince
of Wales has become acting King of
England. He probably will continue in
that capacity until his father is able to
resume his duties.
The prime minister calls upon the
prince on business of state, just as he
was won't to do upon King George. Other
cabinet ministers come to consult the
prince. and he is arranging to keep in
the near future all the appointments
that the King would ordinarily fill. He
is passing upon documents and in vari-
Gus other ways Is acting as titular head
of the state.
There is every evidence that Albert
Edward will continue this work for
some time. Whatever turn the illness
of the King may take, he is, by word
of his doctors, relegated to period
of inactivity in official affairs which
may extend for months. While coun-
Gil of state has been duly appointed
to act for the sovereign, 1t is the
Prince of Wales as eldest son and
heir to the throne who steps to the
front as the principal member of that
commission.
Thus far the prince has not left the
Immediate vicinity of York House where
he has his Office. He makes frequent
visits to Buckingham Palace to see his
father and talk with his mother and
sometimes goes to the residence of the
Duke of York Aside from that his
only outings have been to a nearby
club where he exercises by playing
squash. :.

UNGER FACES TRIAL
AS ROTHSTE|N AID
Exposure of Double Life Ex.
peCted at Narcotic Hear
ing Wednesday.

NEW YORK, December 15.-Joseph
Unger, alias Meyers, alias Klein, will
go on trial Wednesday as one of
the leading figures in an international
narcotics syndicate believed to have
been financed by Arnold Rothstein,
slain gambler.
BY that time investigation may have
disclosed who the man really is be-
hind those shielding aliases.
Government officials believe that
establishment Of Unger's true identity
will be a sensational revelation of a
double existence lived on widely sep
arated levels of society.
United States Attorney Tuttle ques-
toned the man today after he was
brought back from Buffalo, where he
was arrested week ago while try
ing to take two trunks containing
So, 900, 900 worth of narcotics from New
York to Chicago.
Doubts Name Is Unger.
81 do not believe his name is Unger
any more than it is Meyers or Klein, .
Tuttle said after this interview. IN
fact l am startled with the thought
of the type Of man that believe this
miScreant to be-"
Unger protested against being pho
tographed by news cameramen and
Tuttle said he thought this was be-
cause he feared that the pictures
would reveal the secret of his double
life to associates and acQuaintanceS
who knew him only as man of high
education. unimpeachable honesty and
lofty morals.
At Unger's arraignment trial was set
for Wednesday and bail of $100,0
was continued
In his interview with Tuttle, the
prisoner said that he never knew Roth
stein, although it was notations in the
gamblers business files that led to the
arrest of Unger and seizure of the mar
cotics. He also denied knowing Mrs
June Boyd Of Chicago, held as ma
terial witness against him and men,
toned in his indictment as conspira-
tor with him to violate the narcotics
laws.
Will Case Opens Monday.
While prosecutor and defense coun-
sci are marshalling witnesses and pre-
pairing their cases for the Unger trial,
hearing will begin Monday in the con-
test of Rothstein's will by his relatives
The first to testify will be two hospital
nurses whose names appear on the
will, signed only with cross, as wit
neSSeS.
There appeared to be possibility
today that the will contest might prove
to be battle for non-existent prize

4 OPPORTUNITIES
LISTED FOR GIVING
Washington Citizens Pre-
sented With Avenues To-
ward Happiness to Poor.

For the nineteenth season the AsSo-
ciated Charities is presenting to citizens
of Washington IA golden opportunities
for genuine Christmas giving.
Out of hundreds of homes in the
city where hope of Christmas benefac-
ton fiickers low, these IA destitute fam
lilies whose bleak lives lack so much in
the midst of plenty, have been singled
out as most deserving of the material
aid which more fortunate ones can give
to keep up their daily struggle for
existence.
While Christmas is the occasion for
general rejoicing in the average Amer
lean home, for these and many others
under the gloom of domestic tragedy
the spirit of Christmas hurts rather
than gladdens When fathers and
mothers see the plenty all around them,
hear the gleeful shouts of other chill
dren and contrast it with the sad
ness on the faces of their little ones,
they find it hard to join in the spirit
of another Christmas day. That is
one reason, at least. why the Associated
Charities is calling upon generous
hearted people of Washington To share
with these unhappy and unfortunate
families little OF the seasons cheer.
In all these IA families the need is
more than that for a Christmas day.
They need the material means for ex-
istence, not just for week or q month
but throughout the year. There is the
case, for example. OF six little girls
who should grow up under the super
vision of mother who is making
brave fight TO carry on the bread
winning responsibilities her husband
has sidestepped. In a small, quaint
apartment an old couple hover over
their bit of fire, hand in hand, and let
themselves dream over the prosperous
Christmas seasons they have known in
the past to make up for absence of
cheer on the present occasion. Jobs
for the old are few and this poor man
OF more than 80 years is nearly blind.
His wife, who has stood the wear and
tear OF 80 years, watches over him as
best she can. 1t would take only SIG
a week to keep this couple in comfort.
In some of the families sickness has
thrown the bread-winner out of work.
Again, derelict fathers have left the
burden of responsibility upon helpless

TEXT OF LEAGUE APPEAL.
Expresses Conviction That Obligations
Will BE Fulfilled,

LUCIANO, December 15.-The follow
ing is the text of the appeal of the
Council of the League Of Nations sent
today to Bolivia.
THE Council has taken cognizance of
the telegram of December IL, addressed
to it by the Minister of Bolivia in Paris
and communicating in the name of his
government a detailed statement of
events leading up to dispute between
Eolivia and Paraguay.
''The Council has also taken account
o! a telegram of December IA, signed
by the President and minister of foreign
affairs of Bolivia. This telegram con-
tains in particular the following declara-
tion: The Council of the League may
rest assured that Bolivia will not de-
part from the principles and obligations
contained in the covenant of the
league
THE council has studied with closest
attention the statement of your gov
ernment'S point of view. II is glad to
find this proof of attachment of Bolivia
to the principles and obligations of
the Covenant and is thereby led to hope
the parties will carefully avoid all acts
which would make 1t more difficult to
insure pacific solution.
In closing today its flfty-third
ordinary session at Lugano, it expresses
- Arm conviction that the obligations
