Not So Well

The oil stocks took couple
on the chin yesterday when Shell
Union and Warner Quinlan
passed up their dividends on the
common stock. They held UP
well despite this adverse develop,
nief1t. It is interesting to note
that both these companies have
been in the van Of any gasoline
"price war" and were out to buck
the Standards.
7 cannot become bearish on
the oils however. In fact, there
isa bullish tinge to the situation
to me. I believe that it will
d1iye home to the oil companies
Ehat they can't set anywhere by
cutting prices on their products
down below cost Of production.
They are in business to make
money. It would seem likely that
more cooperation to solve the
petroleum problems would result
rather than less. look for this
development soon.
I believe the leading oil stocks
are a buy on further weaknesses.
1-
sI am told that the Auburn
pool is all washed up. This ex"
plains the stocks precipitate drop
Tuesday. It rallied more than 4
points yesterday. I have con-
sidered Auburn a good specula-
tion around 100. The company
doesn't have to make a lot Of
money to show big per share
earnings on it's small capital. In
view Of the new turn of affairs,
however, I advise staying away
from Auburn for few days and
let it tell its own story on the
tape.
The Washington times., 1930-08-21
A Fast One

I have two tips from good
sources on American and Foreign
Power. One informant, who is in
the know on the utility situation,
writes that he has good reasons
to be bullish on American and
Foreign Power and Stone and
Webster"
Anyone who makes any COM
mitment in Foreign Power should
remember that it is speculative
and a fast mover, both on the
upside and downSide. There are
rumorS of new developments that
will enhance the value of the
stock considerably.
I can't become bullish on the
utilities for a pull, but their
technical situation market-wiSe is
probably very strong. They act
as though there were big short
interest still to cover. Certain
of the utilities, however, have
acted particularly well in the re-
cent break, notably National
Power and Standard Gas, The
latter has been strong the last
two days and there are rumors of
pool behind it.
Macy and Best are up quite a
bit since they were recommended
here Monday. I am told that
Macy's sales have been gaining
for the past month. Best is
making more money. than last
year. The stores stocks have the
fall season ahead, when their
business ordinarily turns upward.
Their stocks should do better in
any kind of a decent market.
Associated Drygoods looks like a
good bet, too.

A Worm" Turns

It seems that the much-bat-
tered railroads are beginning to
see some daylight. July earnings
are making much better show
ing compared with a year ago
than the first six months of this
year, and in some cases are
ahead.
Further reports should be
awaited before any definite con-
cluSion should be drawn. There
Is also some question about how
profits in August will show up,
for loadingS were off sharply this
month. In addition, there was
the rate cut to help out in the
drought situation. The carriers,
However, should do better from
now on. They have cut expenses
down to the bone, and earnings
were beginning to slide off about
this time last year. They will
benefit from any turn IL busi-
ness. The rails have been acting
better Of late. I believe rails of
the type Of Chesapeake and Ohio,
AtchiSon, Union Pacific, New York
Central and other leading divi-
dend payers are buys on weak
neSSes. Il am bullish on Allegheny
as good low-priced speculation.
Conservative quarters like
American Machine and Foundry.
They consider the big increase
In sales of the scent cigar a
bullish argument. Machine and
Foundry's earnings were well
ahead of 1929 in the first six
months of this year. The COM
pany has a virtual monopoly on
equipment for the manufacture
Of cigarettes and machine-made
cigars. and gets big income on
royalties from the use of its
products.
The old stock was recently
split five for one. Machine and
Foundry has been acting well and
looks good, both for a trading
turn and a long-pull investment.

Picks Up in Fifth

at the end of the fight, Moore con- 5inued to improve. Murphy stag gered him with hard right under the right eye. but himself took a lot of punishment. Murphy had the edge in the fifth, which was his last round.
 Moore staggered Murphy in the sixth with a right to the jaw and again in the same round with a right uppercut to the chin. He landed sharply to the side of the face with his left. Murphy ripped 8 right to Moore's tender eye and smashed through Moore's guard to the stomach. The round was about even.
 In the seventh and eighth Moore worked hard for a knockout and once or twice had Murphy grOggy with punishment, but Miles came pack strong each time. Moore had the seventh and the last round was even. Moore weighed in at 163l4 and Murphy at 156
 Semi-Final Tame
 The Nelson-Leyson bout was one of the tame variety. Sammy tapped the claret from the Tigers nose in the first round without hurting him to any extent. For four rounds they mixed without either landing hard punch In the fifth, Leyson failed .o lock Sammy's left hand as they came together in clinch near the ropes and the late schoolboy ripped three under Leyson's ribs. The Ti- ger dropped to the floor and lay here grooming while his seconds claimed a foul. Leyson was carried to the dressing room where an examination by Dr. w. J. Pigg, of- ficial physician, disclosed no mark of a low blow. Leysoh was wearing a heavy metal protector and it was also unmarked. Nelson was the winner on kayo.
 Special Event Slow
 Al Osborne and Del Monte danced three rounds and fought rather indifferently in the fourth, but Osborne had no difficulty in earn ing the decision. He outweighed his opponent 21 pounds, weighing I'll and Del Montie 150
 Philip Joseph and Frank Wanada, lightweights, staged a nice exhibi- ton in the preliminary. The two boys mixed freely and fought cleanly. The judges decided it was draw and the fans were we'll pleased
 E. c. Adams and Karl Theile were Judges. Harry Sperling handled the first two and Billy Franks the last two of the matches. G. H. Walms- ley was announcer. Dave Eousel was timekeeper.
 The next card will be staged by the Moose on December 20, it was announced at the ringside.

for the day. Some of the spectators even got to their feet as if to leave. But Moore, too dazed to know just what he was doing, slow ly climbed to his feet, turned and staggered toward Murphy, making little effort to guard but trying to strike with hands that were almost too heavy for him to hold before him.
 Murphy showed his only poor generalShip of the night right hen He was too anxious to end |, and instead of measuring his nan, swarmed over him with wild punches that were mostly wasted. Ie rained blows at Moore, but none f them could stop the fighting in tinct of the youngster who wealth red the storm until the bell
 FlO0red in the Third
 Moore, still weak when the third ound opened, refused to stall, dis lained to clinch and hang on, but vent right out to fight. And Mur- )hy was more than willing. Time liter time he landed smashing blows with both hands to the head md body Finally he wore Moore Town and with a straight right to he jaw sent him sprawling to the 'anvas. This time Jimmy took the cunt of nine and rose, not to finch or backpedal, but fighting. Ie was on his feet at the end of he round and looking better.
 Murphy continued to pile up pig lead in the fourth. Moore, while lble to stave off Miles charges, couldn't make any headway He ook lot of punishment and seem I'd to gain strength as the round progressed.

Defeats Moore in
 Great Fight; Moore Proues
 Cameness by His Comeback

In t,,e cleanest and snappies fight staged here in many moons Miles Murphy earned the decision ever Jimmy Moore Wednesday eve. ming in the eight-round main even at the American Legion's monthly smoker There wasn't any ques. tion about his victory, but Moore divided honors evenly with him by staging one of the gamest come backs from the shadow of dream. land ever seen in a local ring.
 Sammy Nelson kayoed Tiger Ley son in the fifth of a scheduled six-round go in the semi-final. Os borne get the decision over Del mcntie in a tame, four round spe eial event, and Joseph and Wanad !, in the curtain-raiser battled gamel to a good draw. Except for tn, opener and the main bout, the cart was slow.
 Is Whirlwind Affair
 The fans had no kick on tn show, however. There were enougl thrills packed in the eight round of vicious fighting to satisfy ever the most blase fans of the cauli flower sport. Both boys provet their ability to take and give gruel- ing punishment. Out on the can vas on the second round, to- dazed to know enough to take ( nine count and collect his wander ing wits, Moore gave the crowd tn thrill that comes but few times tt the fight fans when he fought hi. way back to at least even term with Murphy. It was an exhibition of the fighting heart that is seldom witnessed.
 And he didn't stop with doing l, once. He did it in the secont round, and repeated the perform. ance with all it's thrills in tn third. He took everything Mur- phy had and from then on battleo him to a standstill. In fact, there were two occasions when he hac Miles close to disaster, but his owr stamina had been drawn on toe much and he didn't have left the finishing punch to sway the scales his way
 Murphy Grabs Lead
 The lads opened bris k ly ano wasted no time in swapping punch es. Moore landed a right and Jeff to the head in the first stanza ane started the blood trickling from Murphy's nose. Miles was playing for the body as Moore walked ir to him. The honors were even in the first round, neither being dam aged.
 Both were at work hammer ano tongs with the bell in the second. Jimmy was short with his right twice. but landed to the head with left jabs which Miles rocked off easily. Murphy made Moore vince with two hard rights to the stom- ach. After a minute of fighting or even terms, in a fierce rally in the center of the ring, Murphy ripped a straight right to Moore's bread basket which drew down his guard and landed left and right to the jaw.

AL JOLSON IN "MAMMY"

Al Jolson's greatest picture will be

is recognized as JolSon's best.
Irving Berlin wrote this fourth
Warner Brothers and Vitaphone fea-
ture in which for the first time, Jolson
appears in a play made for laughter
instead of tears. There is of course
drama and pathos too-but the tone
of the story is gay and full of melody
and song.
A considerable part of Nanny"
has been filmed in technicolor and the
results are gorgeous. The story deals
with the joys and tribulations of
travelling minstrel troupe with Jolson
as a blackface enaman. Mitchell Lewis
is also an endman. The interlocutor
is Lowell Sherman-Hobart BoSworth

MARRIAGE LAWS
REMAIN THE SAME,
CONTRARY TO THE INFORMATION
PUBLISHED IN A DULUTH DAILY
IN ANSWER TO A QUESTION,
THE LEGAL AGE LIMIT is AS
FORMERLY, Fl AND Is YEARS.

Two weeks ago some one writing to
Duluth daily for information regard
ing the marriage license laws was told
in the paper that the legal age for a
boy was Is years and that for a girl
16 years.
Clerk of the Court j. P. Johnson has
notified the deputy clerks on the range
that this answer was incorrect in the
following letter sent out from his
Office under date of November II. He
says:
Dear Sir:
Replying to yours of the 18th, I
desire to say that the information
published in the Duluth Herald re-
Gently, that the legal age for boy
to marry is Is years and that of a
girl Is years, is not correct, and the
law has not been changed. The trouble
appears to be that section $685. of the
marriage laws, provides that every
male person who has attained the full
age of Ii years and every female who
has attained the full age of 16 years
is capable of contracting marriage if
otherwise competent" However, Sec
ton 1869 provides that eff any person
intending to marry shall be under age
license shall not be issued unless the
consent of the parents or guardians
shall be given before the clerk or GER
titled under the hands of such parents
or guardians, attested by two witnesses,
one of whom shall appear before such
clerk and make oath that he saw said
parents or guardians subscribe, or
heard them acknowledge the same
Under this section, males under the
age of 81 years and females under the
age of 18 years are under age.

1881 PAVING PLAN
GETTING STARTED
WHILE NO PAVING is ON THE
LIST FOR THIS IMMEDIATE
SECTION, THE PROGRAM WILL
PROVE OF INTEREST TO THE
ELY MOTORIST.

Announcement of the second Install
ment of 1881 trunk highway paving
projects was made by Commissioner
Babcock this week when a call was
made for bids on 500 miles of con-
crete sllrfacing Bids will be opened
December 9, together with bids on GIG
miles of grading, one crawling job
and eight bridges. With the contracts
let last week, this makes total of 185
miles of paving definitely announced
for next year.
Five stretches of paving are included
in the list to be let in December Two
of the jobs are on T. H. No. 8, one
from the end of the old pavement
north of Hastings to the junction with
No. 20 at -Four Corners, south of Hast
ings. The other is a 25-mile stretch
from Fergus Falls to Breckenridge
When these jobs are completed, No. 3.
which is an important northwest and
southeas diagonal highway, will be
paved all the way from the Wisconsin
line at Lacrosse to the North Dakota
line at Wahpeton, except Lake City to
Wabasha, Red Wing to -Four Corners
and Alexandria to Fergus Falls. The
grading is under way on the greater
part of these stretches.
Two proposed paving jobs are on No.
8, an important east and west cross
state route. One is from the Dakota
line at East Grand Forks to Crookston
where it will connect with paving built
this year from Crookston TO the juno
ton with No. 3d. The other is from
Wilton, near Bemidji, to Eagley, a
distance of 1877 miles
Paving will be built Oh Highways IA
and Is, from Gaylord to New Ulm,
connecting with pavement built this
year from Gaylord u Glencoe and
from New Ulm to Sleepy Eje to the
east state line. For bidding purposes,
the stretch from New Ulm to the Sib-
ley county line will be let as one job
and the stretch from this point from
Winthrop to Gaylord as another job.
Short gaps will be left unpaved at
Winthrop and New Ulm, to permit
future construction of railroad grade
separations.
On four Of the paving JOBS, on loutes
graded several years ago, the contracts
also call for widening ard raising the
grade at some points. In such cases
shoulder grading is also included
On other jobs shoulder grading will
be let separately The state will fur
nish cement on all paving jobs.
