Coca Cola

Coca Cola broke sharply. accom-.
panied by an extraordinarily
heavy turnover for this issue. The
selling started from the opening
gong and emanated from the
traders on the floor. I understand,
indicating speculative drive. This
induced some liquidation.
The beer rumors may have
touched off the drive. but the fact
that the stock was one of those
selling at a high ratio to earnings
aided the deflationary move.
Coca Cola is expected to show
about $40 for the year. 1t has
profited considerably from the
low sugar prices this year, but
sTlce sugar producers are taking
action to bring prices back to g
profitable basis this source Of
extra income for Coca Cola isn't
likely to exist in another year.
Insiders are apparently still bull
ish, for they bought some stock
yesterday on a scale down. My
advice, however, is to stay away
from this stock for the time being
National Dairy Products has
been relatively strong spot in g.

stand, has been due to an excel
lent earnings report anticipated
for the third quarter. I am told
National Dairy will show $1.6O Pei
share for this period. This would
make net for the nine months

all of last year.

Bethlehem

The unfavorable picture Of the
steel industry was continued by
Bethlehem yesterday in its earn
ings report, showing only 63
cents a share for the third quar-
ter, as against dividend require
ments of $3.50 for the common.
United States Steel was barely
able to cover it's dividend in this
period. Since operations of the
steel industry for the current
quarters are not making any
better showing, earnings are not
likely to be much if any better.
Which means that Bethlehem
may fall short of it's $6 dividend,
since earnings for the nine
months total $500 a share.
Of course. the company has
plenty of cash and could main
tain the current rate for while.
For the moment the stock is
flirting with it's low for the year
and looks 4ower.
With United States Steel loan
ing at a premium and a long
list of stocks loaning flat, the
short interests has evidently in
creased considerably in the past

Is Free Love a Dogs Ideal?
BY RITA RANDALL

There is nothing new in free love,
multitude of wives or husbands one
after another, or any of these things
which we see all around us.
Dogs have enjoyed free love since
the first male dog started out over
a new world in search of mate. So
have many other forms OF animal
life.
We, with our superior intelligence
surely need not pat ourselves upon
the back because We have managed
after several millions of years to make
popular something that Fido and
Towser have always found coIlven-
lent.
The dogs ideal has always been "a
mate whenever I want mate, no
matter where I find her" Mems ideal
has always been lone wife, one
home"
Seems to me we should pat our
selves upon the back when we are
able to live up to the old form, rather

party is given at which the principal
dish is stew made of weak dog.
There are five sledges, eight dogs to
each.

an instant's hesitation the order to

The party pushed on, travelling
smoothly, thanks to the experience
born of % years of toll. Henson, how
ever, came very near losing his life.

was crossing lane of moving ice

into the water.
Embarrassed by his heavy clothing,
he was sinking, his gloved hands be-
ing unable to take hold Of the ice
when one of the Eskimos pulled him
out. "He had saved my life" says
Henson, "but I did not tell him so,

BY Amos r. Wells
Su.ENCERS FOR AIRPI .ANES

Good news comes from Hiram Max
inns factory in Hartford, which, since
Mr. Maxim's remarkable invention, has
been making silencers for firearms
to a pistol, the noise of its explosion
is only mild putt, heard but few
feet away. The invention is, of course,
most useful in war, rendering it very
difficult to locate enemy batteries; also
man may be shot, and people
in full sight of the crime may hear
no sound of the firing.
This fact has determined Mr.. Maxim
to discontinue the manufacture of sill
encers, but he will turn his attention to
silencing airplane engines. His work
will restore peace to the skies. This
use of the invention is q real benefit,
while the initial application of it was
a curse.
How quick is the devil to utilize
every means for evil, and how slow
are the righteous in doing the same.
Let us become more enterprising IN all
good. Let us apply to Christ's work
every improvement devised by skill and
wisdom. Let us not allow Satan to out
speed Christianity.
