DOMESTIC BONDS
|NPR|CE RECOVERY
First and Second Grade Rails
Are Prominent in Rising
Market.

oispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, April 17.-Further
progress was made today by nearly all
classes of domestic bonds. with several
of. the foreign groups quite strong. the
average Of the domestic issues Is about
one-half point above the low range
made between March ~ and April 9. :.
The strongest bonds were the f1rst
and second grade rails. Atchison Gen
eral As, which were down to 80 at the
years lowest, sold within a fraction OF
their high of 931a. Baltimore 81 Ohio
first As at 90. compared with their low
of 9034 and their high of SO. Canadian
Pacific debenture As showed rally OF
3 points from the March level. and
Frisco prior lien is, with an advance
today of "a, had recovered 3 OF the A
point loss that occurred between Janu-
ary and the end of March. Erie re-
funding SIS were A points above their
low of the year and within a point OF
the high. Fractional additions were
made to the gains already recorded IN
the Az per cent issues of the Frisco,
Rock Island, Wabash, Union Pacific
and Chesapeake 81 Ohio. :.
The popularity of this type OF bond
is significant, inasmuch as there has
been relatively little recovery so FAR In
the high grade listed public utilities or
industrials.
The strength In stocks that have
been under pressure recently gave oc-
casion for recovery in some of the con-
vertible bonds. International Telephone
4las had the first good rally since
their drop from 131 to below 119 and
were more active. Atchison 4l2s rose
point. Anaconda Copper rs added 3
points to their late advance yesterday
of 4 points. 1t is understood that in
surance companies have been quite
large buyers of the new Southern Pa
cific As. Seaboard Air Line adjustments
and consolidation IS reached liz to
ga points.
The moderate tone of President
Hoover's message on the tariff gave
some encouragement to holders OF Gu
ban Sugar bonds. The issues OF the
rubber and tire companies were also
stronger In spite Of the unsettled condi-
ton of the rubber market.
U. S. Government bonds and certif-
icates were steady. There was less
trading in the foreign list and few
changes of Importance, although
strength in the French governments
and industrials was maintained.

STOCK SLUMP

Political Uncertainty Tends

BIZ United Press
BERLIN, Oct. 25.-Black days on
the German stock exchange have
been transformed into BLACK
months" and the index for all shares
on the Berlin Bourse continued to-
day to reflect a continual downward
trend.
The depression and steady decline
in the value of shares is attributed
to political and psychological fac
tors, rather than industrial depres-

latest slump began in April, when
the Young Preparations Plan con-
ference was in session.
At that time the mark wavered
slightly. but enough to startle many
who believed it was unshakable. The

Uncertainty as to Germany's abil-

the Bourse and financial scandals

BANK TAKING BILLS
MEET NO PROTESTS
Have Clear Sailing When Brought
Up for Consideration on
Saturday

Helena, Feb. 16.-Not a suggestion
OF opposition to the measure imposing
taxes upon the moneyed capital of
banks, building and loan associations
and insurance companies appeared
when those measures came up for con-
sideration in the committee Of the
whole house of the Montana legisla-
ture Saturday afternoon It has been
thought some effort might be made to
change the percentage basis for the
imposition of the tax on moneyed cap
ital and shares of banks from that of
80 percent, as carried in house bill NO.
181, to the 25 percent classification as
recommended by the special commits
sion which had recommended that
this be placed at 25 percent. If any OPP
position exists it did not appear when
the bills were under consideration by
the house and they were reported out
for passage without an amendment
AS now ready for third reading these
bills, drawn to meet the situation ex-
isting as the result of the decision Of
the supreme court Of the United States
regarding discrimination in the old
statute against national banks, house
bill No. 181 places moneyed capital
and shares of banks, both national
and state, in the 80 percent class, and
moneys and credits, not constituting
moneyed capital, in the Z percent class.
The two companion measures house
bill No. 179, providing for the assessing
of the moneyed capital Of building and
loan associations upon the same basis
as those Of state and national banks,
and house bill No. $50, providing for
the assessing of credits, less legal re-

THE REVIEW APPEARS
this WEEK in BRAND
NEW TYPE DRESS

In keeping with its policy Of giving
Kevin and the surrounding county a
newspaper second to none, The Review
appears this week in brand new
type dress. This improvement is only
the first of many others to be made
from time to time.
In selecting the new type, the mana
cement Of The Review, made legibili-
ty the principal factor to be taken in
to consideration He sought type
that would do away with eye strain
and would be easy to read. After in
specting a score OF samples submitted
by type companies he chose an Ionic
type that has been endorsed by opto-
metrists the country over.
Easy to Read
The new Review type, which is
known in newspaper parlance as Ionic,
is an exceptionally readable face. The
openness Of the rounded letters, the
height and width Of the lower case,
the clear-cut capitals, the size and
fullness of the figures the absence of
marked contrast between thick and
thin strokes; all these things go to
make this new type most desirable
face. The outstanding adj
vantage is its conservation Of vision
The even tone throughout is restful to
The eyes without being monotonous.
We hope that the readers Of The
Review will be pleased with our new
1ress, and if you are, it would be a
pleasure to have you express your
opinion, as we are here to cater to
your wants, and remember, that your
newspaper is your largest asset to
vour community.

RADIeAN FIRM
PLANNING BIG
OIL PROGRAM
II NEW WELLS, ACQUISITION OF
MORE ACREAGE is
ANNOUNCED

Shelby, Feb. 19.-Bruce P. Radigan,
secretary treasurer and general mana
ger of the Radigan- Hungerford cor
poration, which operates in the Keyin-
Sunburst oil field, has just returned
to Shelby from two weeks business
trip to Chicago and Minneapolis. A
meeting Of the directors OF the Radi
gam Hungerford corporation was held
in Chicago while Mr. Radigan was
there Much of the stock of this COM
pany is owned by Minneapolis and
Chicago capitalists. Mr. Radigan re-
ports that these men were optimistic
about the future and possibilities of
the Kevin- -Sunburst field and it was
decided to set aside enough money to
drill II new wells this year in this
field, and to acquire new acreage, and
negotiations are already under way to
carry out this plan This company al
so plans to drill one wildcat this year.
The Radigan -Hungerford corpora
ton is one of the largest independent
companies in the -Sunburst oil
field. 1t has 28O acres, in what is con-
sidered the heart of production and
has been the center Of activities. The
Radigan- -Hungerford Adams No. /, ne
ne Sc, of 12-34-2 W, commonly known
as the Radigan gusher, is owned by
this company This well is considered
one of the best in the field. When the
Bethal Adams No was allowed to
flow open, this well dropped to pro-
duction as low as so barrels, but after
the Bethal-Adams was closed the
Radigan well steadily increased in
production and is now producing bet
ier than 24O barrels daily
This company also owns producing
wells on the Harte leases and on the
leases This 28O acres is in
he center Of activities, but is also in
he freakish area Of the field. IF pro-
Iuction is struck the well is good
ne, but many wells have been drilled
lirectly offsetting good wells, without
showing Of oil, and operators hope
0 determine the boundaries Of these
ools in the next year Of drilling. The
vells drilled in this vicinity that come
4 as producers prove to be long-lived
nd hold up their production, while
4 other parts Of the field. the pro-
uction drops off rapidly
According to Bruce Radigan, the
-Hungerford corporation will
art its extensive drilling campaign
5 soon as the weather permits. The
xact location Of the first well has not
cen decided as yet, but it will be on
le Harte lease. This company owns

TAKE CARE OF CARS.
SAYS ]. F. SCHIVIERS

The motors of today's automobiles
1 travelling at high road speeds demand
accurate condition to function proper
and to give the miles of service built
into them, says J. F. Schiviers, mana
ger Of the Oil City Garage.
Not only do we have to consider the
worn surfaces OF a motor. where we
re-condition same, we must even
think beyond new pistons. pins. rings
and parts. Let us examine the cylin-
ders as the power is developed in the
cylinders and because they receive the
greatest wear.
On the downward explosion stroke
the modern motor delivers Glow
against the piston Of three to four
hundred pounds per square inch.
This force is transferred from the
piston to the wrist pin and from there
down the connecting rod to the upper
half Of the crank shaft clearing. We
also have to consider the strain on the
connecting rods due to motor load,
road conditions, too rapid opening Of
throttle and further, because the pist-
on travels faster during upper half Of
stroke than during lower half.
The difference in the piston travel
wears the cylinder more on cne side
than on the other, or out Of alignment,
but this condition does not only cause
wear out of alignment, it also bends
and twists the connecting rods. Very
little friction caused by bent con-
Meeting rod will make but very little
difference in the old type, slow speed,
poorly balanced motor Different so
with the new high speed motor, as
piston friction, even slight, causes real
loss OF power because it is multiplied
by several thousand revolutions per
mile. The rods and pistons must
therefore be perfectly aligned to give
satisfactory service.
Because the rods bend, the wrist pin |
becomes tilted and causes the piston
to wear the walls out Of alignment,
that there is more wear on
one side Of the cylinder than at the
point directly opposite. The top Of
the piston wears pocket on the right
side and the shift OF the piston wears
a pocket on the left side Of the cylin-
der Consequently, oil pumping, rap
ID carbon formation and oil diluticn
will follow.
It is therefore OF the greatest inn
that in e-conditioning mot
ors the wrist pins are parallel with
he crank shaft and that the connect
ng rods and cylinders are square with
rank shaft. With standard piston
Clearance and proper stormizing meth
ID, motor in this condition can be
lriven at high speed with assurance
hat it is capable Of withstanding
Ugh road speeds, is the opinion Of
1r. schiviers. Fl
