ONES POINT OF VIEW

By arthur Dew. Carpenter
The writer has often asked
groups OF children if the earth
belongs TO the sky. and the invar-
liable answer has been. NO. For
scores Of generations i'm the history
OF human experience. men thought
in terms OF THE heavens and the
earth" This emphasis was rNlrhrt
from the belief that the earth arr
the center or the universe. re Vas
not until relatively modern times
the idea received universal accent
anc that the earth was m planet
sweeping in a great annual orbit
around the sun. Thus we see that
talks about ~the earth and they
who dwell therein" come under the
heading OF star Lore

Washington Letter
BY HERBERT C. PLUarsrER

WASHINGTON, May There's a little cafeteria
in Washington, almost within the shadow OF the
dome Of the capitol building. whose owner boasts OF
the fact that she rarely missed a day in in seven years
serving a chicken salad sandwich to the late Senator
Robert NJ. La Toilette Of Wisconsin.
The cafeteria has other claims to fame as well.
Charles Evans Hughes lunches there frequently
when his duties keep him on capitol hill during time
for lunch. Associate Justice Edward r. Sanford OF
the supreme court also finds time to leave his office
and walk across the street to partake Of stuffed egg
salad prepared by the hands Of the Lady from Ten
nessee."
The Lady from Tennessee by the way. Is Mrs.
Hugh Fred. And the name Of her cafeteria is The
Ugly Duckling. For over seven years she has siperin-
tended preparation Of southern dishes which she
knows will appeal to her ~ilustrious clientele.
Mrs. Fred knows rom experience what her Gus
toners like and look for at The Ugly Duckling. For
instance, she never fails to have apple pie and butter
scotch pie every day. Not once in seven years has
she failed to provide these two delicacies.
Her cooks are the best that she can obtain. She
has an inviolable rule that no cook who ever has pre-
pared meals for a hotel or restaurant can find en-
ployment in her cafeteria.
Home cooking" is no empty phrase here

JULIUS ROSENWALD PLEDGES
BACKING FOR EMPLOYEES STOCK
Supplies Necessary Margin
to Save Accounts of Sears
RoebuCk Workers.
Policy of Support Is Same as
Followed in 1921 Period
of Depression.
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, october 30.-The Herald
and Examiner said today in a copy
righted story that Julius Rosenwald,
philanthropist and chairman Of the
board Of Sears, Roebuck g. Co, had
pledged without limit" his personal
fortune to guarantee the stock market
accounts of the 10000 employees of his
company.
Mr.. Rosenwald decided to take this
action, the paper said, following the
market drop last Thursday. That same
evening he conferred with his son, Les
sing, who is vice president Of the COM
pany; Gen. Robert E. Wood, president;
w. o. Lewis, treasurer, and John Hig-
gins, another vice president. To HlS-
gins was delegated the duty OF seeing
that the employees accounts were pro-
tected.
Looks Up Accounts.
Higgins Immediately looked up the
accounts of all employees, not only In
Chicago, but everywhere the company
has branches. When he found an en-
ploye carrying an account on which, IN
the present bear market. his margin
had grown too narrow for safety, Hlg-
gins communicated with the broker
handling the account.
The broker then was asked whether
additional collateral was needed to safe
guard the account, the Herald and Elk"
aminer said,
we simply put up the collateral 50
that our employees shall be able to
weather the storm" Higgins explained.
lone of the first things found out
was that a great many employees Will
have no need for the assistance offered.
Some of them, thanks to their THRIFT
and good Judgment, are wealthy: Inc
helm Mr.. Rosenwald is offering Is Tor
those who need it."
Did Same Thing in 1921.
Through Higgins it was learned for
the first time that Mr.. Rosenwald
adopted q similar plan during the
period of financial depression IN 192l.
Eat that time what we did In MT;
Rosenwald's name was to gatner up an
the employe stock accounts that neeoeo
support and place them IN the nanos
of two big brokerage concerns. deposit
ing collateral as required. The sum MT.
Rosenwald then pledged was about 81
Also Also in 1921, it was recalled: MI MI:
Rosenwald made a gift of $5OO0,UOO
worth of his own stock to the company
and pledged $20,0O0,000 more OF MS

no matter what stocks the employees
hold.

chairman and member Of the finance
committee Of General Motors, said con-
corning the market situation:
Many of us have long felt great con-
Germ because of the inflated condition
of the stock market during the past sew
eral months. Huge amounts of money
have been loaned in the call money
market at most attractive rates by peo-
pie who ordinarily would have this
money invested in securities.
The present decline has carried
prices in many instances to levels ride
ulously low with the result that nearly
all the standard railroad stocks are
cheap and the industrial list is filled
with stocks selling at real bargains
Prudent investors are now buying
stocks in huge quantities and will profit
handsomely when this hySteria is over.
The list is filled with bargains, and
and my friends are all buying stocks"
Luther l.. Blake, president OF the
Standard Statistics Co., publishers of
financial publications, said:
I'VE do not pretend to say that the
bottom has been reached. but the mar
ket for selected investment stocks is
! now in the buying zone, and the invest
or need not hesitate to buy stocks that
show a reasonable income return at
present prices and show promise of
maintaining their earning power over a
period of years.
ITO the speculator the only thing one
can say is that many stocks are cheap

shares figured in the initial dealings,
with early gainJ ranging from 81 to SO
share. A few stocks opened moder-
ately lower as result of further forced
liquidation following yesterdays dis
aStrouS break, but these losses failed to
check the buying in the general list
It was apparent that strong buying
support had developed overnight. and
that a more cheerful feeling existed in
both investment and speculative quar-
tiers.
Hysteria Subsidies.
While the early buying was much
more conservative in character than the
selling which took place at yesterdays
opening. bankers and brokers alike well
coined the apparent subsistence of the
wave Of hysteria which had swept over
security holders during the past week.
Nearly all tho leading brokerage
houses, aid several of the investment
services, advised their customers over
night that high-grade stocks were al
bargain levels and could safely be
bought for investment. Whereas few
weeks ago many stocks were selling or
a yield basis of less than per cent, the
recent decline has brought prices down
tu where yields of to per cent were
quite common, with some Of the more
unSeasoned issues yielding 10 per cent
or more at current levels.

amid the echoes of a Wall Street crash
in which tidal wave of 16.41013C

While trading on the curb failed to
approach yesterdays terrific pace, many
blocks of 5000 to $4,000 shares changed
hands, and the ticker fell about half
an hour behind trading.
Second Broker Casualty.
The second casualty among brokerage
houses took place today when the firm
of Lynch & Co. was suspended from
the New York Curb Exchange for fall
ure to meet its obligations. The curb
firm of John j. Bell & Co. was sus-
