STOCK GAMBLERS
NEATLY TRIMMED
Tight Credit Terrors
Hit Hoover Boom"

Continued from Page One
brokers make money either way and
they should worry. But the pinch
comes when money. borrowed subject
to call, demands higher rate of in
terest.
What happens? A shoe-store pro-
prietor in Palo Alto. California. has
ordered broker in New York to
buy $4,000 of Radio Corporation
stock at 400. He hasn't the money.
but the broker borrows it from a
hank at per cent, subject to call.
The buyer hopes to sell still higher.
SO he can afford the interest. But
so many suckers do the same that
credit gets scarce. The banks raise
the interest rate to 10 or IL per
cent, which means they demand the
$4,000 back pronto, or will renew it
at 10 or IL.
The broker asks the buyer what to
do. Ditto all brokers to all buyers.
If he's tough he takes the higher
monev and prays for stock to rise.
But if he scares, he sells the stock
So much is thrown on the market
that the price drops. He loses. If
he hasn't paid for the stock he
rust borrow money at high rate
to get stock possession he must sell
st a lowering price to liouidate.
Stung four WAYS from the jack.
Thursday call money Jumped from
Q to IL per cent. Stock prices fell
on active speculative issues, from 5
to 20 points. Friday was a day of
terror. Call money opened at 10
per cent. Stock prices broke from
l to ID points.
People with money and faith sent
in cash to get that 10 per cent. That
relieved credit for two hours and
call money dropped to 9 per cent.
Stocks went up again. Short buyers
began to unload That sent stock
prices down again before the market
closed.
Radio corporation held up, because
directors meeting was expected to
cut bic melon. The directors lost
their knife and didn't cut anything
but cold deck. The shoe-store pro-
prietor at Palo Alto will find out
about it when the market opens
Monday and he tries to sell Radio.
Not only that, but holders of
stock find that "value" has some
how evaporated out of the nice
pieces of paper they have in their
strong boxes. General Motors hold
ers last night were S30s.s50,000
poorer than they were Wednesday
night. Ground and round the little
ball goes, where it stops nobody
knows"

Churchmen Bomb Play
That Shows Their God
Wearing Gold Pants

FRANKFORT ON-MAIN, Dec. 7.
Clerical rioters attacked a per-
Torrance of Walter Hasenciever's
play, Marriages Are Made in Hea-
ven," by hurting tear gas bombs
into the crowd from the gallery.
The play continued after riot and
the gassing of many Of the audi
ence.
The play shows the Christian God
very much as our Methodist ances-
tors probably saw him in their
dreams, an old gentleman with
whiskers and wearing gold knick-
ers. st. Peter is mild old bureau
crat, and heaven is equipped with
saxaphone loud speakers. Every
body admits it is a well-constructed
play, but the churchmen feel that
their revenues may be curtailed by
it,

HOOverin Pennsylvania

HARRISBURG, Pa, Dec. THE
republican party in this state,
where the Ware and Mellon ma
chimes are in control, admits Off
cially the collection of $1,19S, SOC
during the presidential campaign.
The Pennsylvania campaign used
$445,974 of this, and the rest was
turned over to the national CAM
paign committee.
The democratic party admits
spending S169,286 in the state.
These official figures do not ac-
count for the untold sums "slushed
in" on election day as brides to
voters, and not passing thru the
regular channels.

To Form New Aerial
Transportation Line
From Moscow to Baku

MOSCOW, Dec. IA new aerial
line will be organized through Mos
cow-Kharkov- Rostov- Sochy-S ukhum-
Kutais-Tiflis-G Gambia Baku.
Thus all the health resorts of the
Northern Caucasus and Transcau-
casia and several capitals of the
Transcaucasian Republics will be
connected by a reliable and quick
communication with Moscow and
the Ukraine.
The distance from Tiflis to Mos
cow can. be covered in one day in
stead Of three and half days in
the train. Forty-five minutes of
flying on an airplane from Sochy
TO Sukhum, one hours flight from
Sukhum to Kutais and two hours
flight from Sochy to the Tikhoret-
skaia station will give a passenger
an opportunity to sec the whole
mountainous ridge of the Caucasus
with TIE cternally snow-covered
pixies of Elbrus and Kazbek.

TERRORISM IN
OSKALOOSAIS
ON INCREASE
Authorities Close Eyes
to Crimes

OKALOOSA COUNTY, Fla, (By
Mail).-A barbarous reign of terror
instigated by white mcbs against
Negroes, in this scc,on of the coun
try, has been reported to the Ma
t:oral Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People by fleeing
victims. The brutality, current for
the past few weeks, is being carried
on at night, and the white mob
which is responsible for the crimes,
is unknown.
Negroes have been fired upon in
their homes and wounded, homes
have been burned to the ground and
many families have been forced to
Love in order to insure safety. A
home III Oak Grove was entirely
destroyed by fire on the night of
September %, after having been
fired upon on the night of the 18th.
Several homes were fired into on the
night of September %, and Negro
and his wife were hit by bullets. A
nelgh~oflng nome was Tired into and
A. L. Harrison was killed. Three
other homes within a radius of
few miles are reported to have been
fed upon, and several persons have
been injured.
Approximately twenty families,
all landowners, have been forced to
move away, for rafety. The nearest
railway station to this settlement is
Laurel Hill, about sixty eight miles
from Pensacola and about ten miles
from Floralla, Alabama. 1t is be-
lieved that the white terrorists are
invaders from Pensacola.
The authorities are doing nothing
to protect these Negroes, although
the terrorism still continues.

Detroit Commissioner
Says No Openings

DETROIT, Dec. Local papers
yesterday reported that 1900 men
passed through the offices Of George
A. Hess, Detroit secretary Of the
U. s. Civil Service Commission,
asking for a chance to get jobs in
the federal prohibition service.
Hess stated that not one of them
has chance, even if all the pres
ent-day spies are discharged, for
there is favored waiting list of
$50 men who took civil service ex-
anlinations last year.
This is a sufficient commentary
on this city of prosperity bunk and
a growing army of the unemployed.

URGING LETTERING
 OUTDOOR MANNERS
Autoists Especially Are Asked
 to Be Careful

New York. March 90 UP)-With 1he motoring season at hand the Garden club of America and the American Nature association have launched a campaign for outdoor good manners" and for billboard re- Striction.
 Motorists will be urged to leave the wild flowers along the country side and 10 clean mp picnic sites.
 Arthur Newton Pack. president of the American Nature association. is- sued the following statement in in augurating the campaign:
 America is known for it's adver- Using, but are We proud of so many Of our roadside landscapes walled with ugly signboards? Indeed, when We face the question most Of us will agree that the roadside landscape is rot the place for advertising except perhaps in very limited commercial districts.
 Maryland and Connecticut have il. This way lies in roadside tree planting. A hlghWaN lined on both sides with trees, planted and pro teCted by the state highway com mission or forestry department, or under tle auspices of county shade tree commission such as in New Jer- sey. is poor meat for the outdoor advertiser.
 "Irces obscure no view of land scape, They rather franc it, But rows of trees do make it hard to read billboards, as advertisers well know. IT. is illegal in both New York and New Jersey, as well as in most other states, to attach signs ;o trees. Many states already have passed laws torbidding advertising signs on rights of-Way.
 With the beauties of nature just bursting into view let us all join this outdoor good manners club
