STORMS SUDDEN
IN STOCK TRADING
Little Fellows Feel Full Force
of Blast When Market
Takes Dive.
BY JOHN r. SINCLAIR.

NEW YORK, August 10 (N.A.N.A).-
No one can say that the world is not
growing smaller at least in q financial
way. The catastrophe decline in stocks
on the New York Exchanges yesterday
unnerved even the most experienced of
traders.
People who have not traded in the
market-and there are still few left
should understand that when a stock
drops 10 points or SO thousands Of little
fellows become alarmed and send in
orders to sell their holdings "at the
market" The big fellows never do this.
They know that some time the scare
disappears and that the market tend
encies are generally upward and not
downward. The law of averages pro-
tects them in this assumption.
But the little fellow is different. He
gets excited. panicky. loses his sense OF
values and runs. So he gets nothing out
of the market except little experience.
Thursdays Optimism.
Any one who thinks that playing
stocks has become a scientific accom-
plishment should read the optimistic
reports of Thursday issuing from pro-
fessional traders and financial writers.
Everything favorable. Nothing but blue
in the financial sky. Stocks moving up
and everybody feeling fine.
Then the Federal Reserve Bank OF
New York. without notice or warning,
increased its rediscount rate from to
per cent. Presto! Down went the
most severe, decline in stock market
history. The Federal Reserve is still
the most powerful factor in the bank
ing field. This much at least can be
said Of yesterdays stock market gyra-
tons.
England, with a bank rate of 51z per
cent, is left in a very comfortable posi-
ton. She has been losing gold and her
bank rate is already too high to allow
any great business expansion. Her rate
today really should be higher than that
mas q few days to think 1t over. Next
Thursday is her decision day. What
will she do?
US. Film Output.
While the United States produces
more than IS per cent of the worlds
motor cars. the record in motion pic
lures is even more impressive. There
the total must be from 30 to 81 per
cent.
It is now well recognized that trade
follows the film. Every foot of Ameri-
can film shown sells more than a dol
lars worth Of goods.
The American filnn, however, has not
been directly built on the basis Of
propaganda. Most Of the foreign films
do have in mind more avowedly the
propaganda idea: With Great Britain
It Is trade, In France it Is nationalism
and Partisan culture, in Germany 1t
Is her economic future, while italy EN-.
phasizes trade and slips in now and
then a touch Of Fascism. 80
In the United States the Aims are
designed basically for entertainment:
Nevertheless, they do present subtly the
social and industrial life and the stand
ard Of living of the people. It is these
things the Europeans object to. They
fell that their movie fans are becoming
dissatisfied with their own s,aFrossnd-

ings and thoroughly Americanized In
their viewpoints.
This is the reason the attack on
American films continues in every first
class European nation. American type
writer's and automobiles, too, are COM
ing in for their share of homegrown"
propaganda.
Buy it in Europe" is the new slogan.
INNINGS Vast Extent.
Mining is one OF the major industries
in the United States, but the vast ex-
tent of its activities is not usually
recognized.
The United States produces 43 per
cent Of the worlds coal, GA per cent OF
its petroleum. So per cent of Its zinc.
48 per cent Of the lead, SO per cent OF
the copper and 50 per cent of the pig
iron.
The operating mines have an invest
ment account exceeding $4,000, 900, 900.
The mining industry of the United
States supplies so per cent Of the min
eral wealth of the world. More than
100000 people are dependent on the
mines and quarries, which contribute
more than 81 per cent OF the railroad
freights. the revenue exceeding 81 ,000,-
100000 year.
]. r. Gallbrath Of the American Min
ing Congress says the mining industry
furnishes the iron which makes our
machinery, the coal which furnishes
our power, the gold which measures
our value. the COPIED which transmits
our thought and the chemical forces
which are revolutionizing our indus
tries

care q under the modern hospital syS-
tenn" a well known physician remarked
to me. THE rich can pay the high
fees. and the poor get attention for
nothing. But the white-collar class
those millions in between the rich and
the poor-are up against 1t hard
Hospital costs a day are from So to
IS for ward beds and IS to $14 for
private rooms. These charges do not
include laboratory. medicines, dressings,
X-rays. aneSthesia and operating room
fees. Those are all added to the bill
One modern hospital has announced
that its actual cost a day for caring
for q patient is $4.75 for ward patients
and $8.61 for private room patients
This is exclusive of overhead, depre-
citation or interest charges. From 20
to 80 per cent OF the patients can pay
nothing.
Who, then, pays the bills? Mr.. Aver
age Man of the middle class. He makes
up for the charity patients care by
paying slightly more than $50 a week
for ward service in the modern hospital
On top Of this the patient often re-
quires q special nurse. How much?
Seven dollars a day and meals for the
nurse. Then the physicians bill must
be added.
So by the time Mr.. Average Man does
recover 1t takes him months to nurse
his pocketbook back to health.
The white-collar class needs some
help In this field today.

most certainly correct; in its devotion
to the spirit and tradition Of the origi-
nal gesture, it has as its finest message.
What slight establishment there may
be of the facts of history for movie
purposes is entirely legitimate here.
Never is there undue emphasis upon
emotional highlights. The one fault
which might be, and has been, found
with the work is that it is little
legarthic in spots. For one, at least,
of its early viewers Sunday, "Shiraz"
loses nothing by this placid, unim-
petuous treatment of its theme. ORA
matte moments are not lacking. but
the gripping throb of its poetry. tragic
as most great poetry is, carries the
pictures thrall.

EARLE-"Nothing But the Truth"
Helen Kane alone would make Moth

good story perfect cast and excel
lent dialogue to put the picture at the
very top of the fan list.
For Richard Dixs first "talkie" is
perhaps the best "talkie" comedy to
date The star himself has an excellent
voice and a decided penchant for COM
edy, to which We welcome him after a
try or two at more serious if less sue
cessful vehicles. The play has long been
a stage favorite. 1t has frequently been
used in amateur theatricalS, and 1t has
made a successful musical comedy. But
Nothing But the Truth" in this new
all-talkie version bids well to be the
biggest success of all. The lines are
clever, most of them being taken from
the original play, and the cast is one of
those rare combinations of perfect
fits" which occur seldom in even the
best of films. And yet, in cast in
which every members comes in for indi-
vidual handshaking, and in which Dix
is at the top-notch of the game Helen
Kane steps up with pout, sad story
and song and steals all the honors in
sight as long as she is around. She has
a personality and a face to match her
voice. Her singing partner in the play,
Sable of the Mable-Sable duo, is played
by another clever new actress, and with
Dorothy Hall and Berton Churchill in
the cast, the picture looks like the big
gest array of discoveries" brought to-
gether this year. Louis John Bartles,
another unknown" just few months

There is an animated cartoon which

Wireless telephony over world wide
distances Is now reality, together with
transmission Of pictures, and the day
Is approaching when television also will
be commonplace. 1t may be that the
transmission of power over moderate
distances may be developed In the not
distant future. I must leave to your
imaginations the uses which can be
