I'm OUR
VAL.LEY

RIO GRANDE Potato Growers
association is seeking loan OF
100000 from the $150,000,000 farm
relief fund made available at the
last session of congress.
The fund, according to F. B.
Latham, president and general
manager of the organization will
be used exclusively to stabilize the
price of potatoes and to assure the
best possible return to Valley
growers.
The association has had sue
ceSsful existence and has demon
Etrated the power Of cooperation to
stabilize the market.
61n the hands of the association
&sads, this sum of money should
prove a powerful factor in selling
! Valley spuds "at the top"
During the early days of the sea-
son just past the Valley potato
market became demoralized and
growers here were being offered
much less than potatoes were
bringing in other localities.
The blame was placed on growers
who were not members Of the asso-
citation. 1t was said they had be-
come panic stricken and were ac-
cepting any price offered.
A warning was broadcast through
The Herald and by other means
that the price would improve if
offers below the market we're re-
fused.
Growers needed the warning-the
price rose and continued to rise
until the close of the season.
The last potatoes dug brought
the best price-an unusual state of
affairs.
And everyone agrees it was
brought about by cooperation and
that it was demonstration of the
power of the marketing association
to cope with emergencies.

ADELMAN ELECTED
ASSOCIATION HEAD
Chevy Chase Citizens Name
OfficerS-Community Chest
Move Endorsed.

Arthur Adelman was elected presi-
dent of the Chevy Chase Citizens AS
ISOLATION at its annual meeting in the
E. " Brown School, Connecticut ave-
rue and Mckinley street, last night.
Mr.. Adelman. active in affairs of the
association for number of years has
headed several committees as chairman
and served last year as vice preSi-
dent.
Other officers chosen were: First vice
president, H. V. Schneider: second vice
president, Edwin S. Hege; secretary
treasurer, S. Won Ammon, and dele
gates to the Federation of Citizens
Associations, Mr.. Hege and Lewis Rad
cliffe.
Unanimous approval was given to the
Community Chest movement in reSo-
buttons adopted which urged the CO.
operation of all residents of the COM
munity in making it success.
In presenting motion to indorSe
the proposed S10.000,000 school bill of
Representative Simmons for immedi-
ate school needs, Fred S. Lincoln, men,
Der of the new schools committee, de-
clared almost anything would be bet
ter than the five-year school building
program, which, he said is going into
llS SlAtAL yCdk LlOWlACAO AlCoAly will
pleted. He characterized the flve-year
program for schools as a device to in
hibit rather than stimulate school de-
velopment.
Action was taken urging insertion
of an item of $4,000 in the District
appropriation bill for grading and 9TH
er work incidental to construction of
the new Mertz School on Grant road.
J. Francis Moore, chairman of the new
schools committee, pointed out that a
desire of residents to have erected
two-story building instead of the usual
three-story affair necessitated a change
of plans with resultant increased cost.
The ground is already owned by the
District, it was said, and $l75,000 has
been made available for the work, but
an additional $4,000 is needed and
Congress will be urged to provide for it.
Endorsement was given to the Cram
ton bill for the creation of the George
Washington Memorial Parkway and to

CHICAGO, January 17.-At the age

Chicago, who computed the speed of

for himself.
One of his "jobs," he said, will be a

bring a computation even more accurate
than before. Prof Nicholson already
has measured the speed of light and
his calculation of l86,28A miles second
is accepted as being right within
single mile"
Now he is seeking utter accuracy, or
as close to utter accuracy as can at

Prof. Nicholson also will attempt to
perfect method by which the diameter
of stars may be measured with greater

would be paid back to the Federal Gov

Further complaint was registered
against the continued dumping of
trash and garbage in ravine on the
south side of Nebraska avenue east
of Connecticut avenue, where, it was
said, public nuisance has resulted
and, as it is a menace to health. the
secretary was directed to write letter
to the Commissioners requesting that
the practice be stopped.
Completion of the extension and
grading of Nebraska avenue northeast

executive committee was directed to
consider the ACCESSIBILITY of providing

INDUSTRIAL BOND
LIST SHOWS GAINS
Many Issues Make Partial
Recovery From Recent
Low Records.
BY CHARLES F. SPEARE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, January 9.--Ir a mar
ket that showed little life and small
changes, except those in convertibles,
the impressive feature today was the
steady recovery in fairly large list of
industrial bonds that were pressed for
sale at the end OF last year and made
low records at that time.
This is an indication that the selling
was not of very good character and
was chiefly to take advantage of losses
that might figure in income tax re-
turns. Since January there have been
several other issues selling even lower
than in December. These, too, indi-
Gated very definite rallying trend yes
terday and today.
The convertible list was only moder-
ately active, with the extent of the ad-
vanceS out of proportion to the amount
OF. trading. The two strongest issues
were Public Service of New Jersey 4las
and Barnsdall IS. Anaconda Copper rs
opened 2 points lower, but later showed
a net gain OF similar amount. Hud-
son Coal IS rallied over a point and
National Dairy Products 5As were In
demand after their recent sinking spell.
In the high-grade rails there were
small changes both ways. The new
Pennsylvania 434s went back to the
issue price of &c. There was less press
ure on U. S. Government bonds
The Junior rails were inclined to sell
off. International Great Northern ad-

does business in many parts OF the
world, to sell holster radio sets in COM
binations with Columbia graphophones.
The pooling of sales resources has
proved beneficial to both companies.
Columbia Graphophone.
The English controlled Columbia
Graphophone Co. has long attracted q
widespread public following in London,
and since it has been listed in New York
it has duplicated its English popularity
here. It Is one of the largest talking
machine companies in the world. oper-
ating in many countries and controlling
the Columbia Photograph Co, its
American subsidiary. Because the par
ent company writes off all intang1bles,
good will and even such definite assets
as inventories to ridiculously low figures
it is difficult to estimate possibilities OF

company is now doing the largest bust

This year is expected to be one of its
best, showing earnings Of around $5.25.
That the leading radio and phono-
graph companies have made definite
progress during the year 1928
has been shown by the rising
prices of their stocks. Moreover,
they have just passed through the
most profitable period of the year
and earnings will soon be reported
which should top previous years. Be-
cause OF the newness of the industry,
however, its securities are more unstable
than most and move over wide range
following the trend of the general. stock
market
Exchange Memberships.
It is rather startling to read that
today a seat on the Stock Exchange
sells for around $575000 whereas in
1875 they sold for $6,75O. Is the pres
ent price justified?
Naturally the chief advantage Of
holding seat is to charge commits
sion for buying and selling. With the
number Of members limited to 1,100
since 1881, the value of a seat is in
direct relation to the total amount
Of business done. So that II the VOL

NEW YORK, January 9-Much in
terest has recently centered around

have advanced sharply during 1928.
Holster.
Holster newcomer in New York,
but widely known on the Pacific Coast,
was known as Federal-Brandes before
April, 1923. and is combination OF
several radio companies and Federal
Telegraph. 1t has long been interested
in radio; its precision electrical instru-
ments are well known. 1t holds a con-
tract to do experimental work and sup
ply electrical instruments for MacKay
System.
Perhaps Holsters greatest success
has been with an electric light socket
power radio set introduced little over
year ago to sell for about half the
price Of competing companies appara-
tus. Large profits resulted and holster
has kept well up in the field ever since.
The price Of holster stock suffered
heavily in the December break, but has
regained about half of the ground lost.
Its price is now f1uctuating over a wide
range largely due to lack Of detailed in
formation about the company and the
newness Of the radio industry itself.

with Columbia Graphophone Co., which

one, must lie in the possible credit

Experience teaches" he said. "that
the danger to every period of prosperity
lies in the development of overcon-

unwise use of credit. If this present
period OF prosperity is halted it will
