The ''Why" of the Wall St. Boom
 Viewed by Prominent Economist
Today's Wealth and Tomorrows Bright Prospects Are
 Given as Chief Factors.

the most important reason for the this time is the fact that there is so much money available for invest ment-more than at any time in the countrys history. Our total income now is computed to aggregate sev- cnty billion dollars annually, and out of these earnings there is est. mated to be about eleven billion dol lars available for investment of vari- ous kinds--more than $35, ,o00, 900 daily. Much of it is going into stocks and bonds
 Also. less money is needed to do business than formerly, and business borrowings are relatively less. Pro- fitting by their experience of 1921. companies are maintaining a strong CT cash position. Then our credit facilities are more elastic. The net result is that there is more money available for investment than ever before, and people are hurrying to place it.
 General Increase in Prices
 The natural demand for securi- ties is greater. while the floating supply is less, and prices are natur- ally rising pretty much along the entire list This is one of the funda- mental reasons for the bullish ten- dency in Wall Street.
 All in all, there would seem 10 be many reasons, or at least participat- ing explanations, for the feverish ex. citement in Wall Street. Business conditions would seem to be im- proving and there Is reason for op- timism. On the other hand, consery. ative opinion in financial circles would hesitate to say that the fever tsh activity on the stock market has | any special significance. or by any means indicates banner year There Is certainly no sign of a boom yet, and certainly no expec. tancy of serious depression.

Bacteria Form Coal
 By Action on Plants

Washington, April 20. Rl-Bac- teria, causing the decay of vegetable matter, have played and still are playing an important part in the formation of the worlds fuel sup ply,
 These microscopic organisms have been found at all depths in the peat bogs of Wisconsin, which are being studied by specialists of the United States bureau of mines.
 Scientists of the bureau also are studying samples of the Wisconsin peat taken from various depths in an effort to determine just wha, part of the decayed vegetable mat ter goes into its composition. Their chief problem in this phas, of the study is to find out whether the woody matter or the cellulose, the principle constituents of plants. decays completely in the process. If only one leaves a solid decom- position product, that obviously is the original substance from which coal is formed.

As q Matter of Plain Common Sense

As Matter of Plain Common Sense Let's look at this Community Chest bus- ness from a practical stand point Putting aside for the moment all thoughts of civic duty, sympathy, benevoence and charitable generosity---ju what does one get out of supporting the Chest? 4 ...
 America at present has crime bill of some three billion dollars, due in large measure to such crime breeding influences as poverty, sickness, ignorance and the like.
 The burden of this bill falls almost entirely on the honest citzenry of the country, who support the machinery of justice through the taxes they pay.
 Now when welfare organizations can re- duce much of this crime bill by removing so many of the causes isn't 1t worth while as a matter of business to contribute to their support and encourage their character-build- ing influence?

.EL OUAFI LEADS RAY
TO MARATHON FINISH

NEW YORK, october % R-
Somebody always is taking the joy
out of life for "Chesty Joie" Ray. When
Joie was a miller it was Paavo Nurmi,
the famous Finn. At the marathon
distance it's El Ouafi, the little dark
skinned, wire-haired Arab.
Making his professional running
debut. at Madison Square Garden last
night, Ray, once king of American
milers, was distanced by Ell Ouafi, who
repeated, by a decisive margin, his
triumph over the little Chicagoan in
the Olympic marathon at Amster-
dam last Summer.
The race attracted a crowd variously
estimated at from 5000 to $4,000 per-
sons. On the official figures may de-
pend whether Tex Rickard will seek
further to interest the public In long
distance running.
For % miles of thee long grind,
"Chesty Joie" appeared to have an ex-
cellent chance of reversing the ver-
dict at Amsterdam just as Dorando did
in 1908. Hayes was awarded the 1908
Olympic marathon crown after Doran-
do collapsed a short distance from the
finish and was disqualified when
friends dragged him across the line.
Dorando, however, obtained his re-
venge when he beat Hayes in the old
Madison Square Garden later in the
same year.
Not so Ray The gallant little runner
hung like shadow to the spindle-leg-
ged Arab for more than a score of
miles, but in the end Ell Ouafi's superior
stamina told. Ray began TO falter on the
twenty-third mile, and the Arab, sens
ing his condition, Immediately length
ened his stride and soon picked up a
full lap on the American.
Before the Furnishing grind of 26
miles 385 yards was completed El
Ouafi had stretched his advantage to
close upon three laps. His time was
2:44:55 2-5, remarkably fast for in
door running.
Seven others started with Ray and Ell
Ouafl, but only Arthur Newton of
South Africa, Juri LoSsman of Esthonia
and Sam Richman of New York. we're
able to finish.
FL Ouaf collected $4,000 for his
winning efforts; Ray, 81 900 for second
place; Newton, $7s0 for third; Loss
man, $500 for fourth, and Richman
$3.50 for fifth.

FRENCH TENNIS HIT
BY GOVERNMENT TAX
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, October. 22.-Premier Poin-
care seems to be the last hope of
French tennis. Under the new tax laws,
France appears to be in danger of los
ing the Davis Cup challenge round
matches next year.
Albert Canet. president of the French
Tennis Federation says that pressure
has been brought to bear upon the
French treasury to abandon its policy
Of taxing receipts at tennis matches
25 per cent, but that the department
stubbornly maintains tennis is a spec
tacle and not a sport.
Unless the premier overrules his
subordinates,' said M Canet, I'VE must
begin negotiations with another country
to stage the Davis Cup challenge round.
Before we take the final step we have
asked to see the premier again to eX-
plain the situation thoroughly.
There is no reason why foot ball and
rugby should be immune from tax COL
lectors while tennis is being crushed" J."
Brussels, If it gives guarantee of a
stadium large enough to handle the
crowds, will have first call If France
discovers she cannot stage the matches
herself. Otherwise, Wimbledon may
have the honor.
