BAND TAX AGAIN PUT BE-
FORE OLIVIA PEOPLE

At the December Election at Oil
via, the question of levying band
tax to provide a fund for the main
tenance of band will again be pre-
sented on the ballot.
A law passed by the state legisla-
ture in 1927 makes provision for any
village or burrough to levy tax of
not to exceed 2 mills for the purpose
of creating a band fund, if the ques-
ton has been submitted to the voters
at any general municipal election and
the majority of the voters are in
favor of the proposition.

OPENING MIGRANTS is
NEW HALLOWEEN PRANK

Some St. James youngsters who
thought it was sport to open n.y.
drants on Halloween night will have
to answer to the police court, and the
joke part will be largely eliminated.
Seven hydrants in different parts of
the city of st. James were opened,
and the police were busy answering
calls from excited citizens. The po-
lice rounded up bunch of boys the
following Monday afternoon, and af-
ter questioning them concerning
their Halloween activities, instructed
them to appear in court at a later

Physics

The Physic class has been studying
the compression of gases and Boyle's
law. In class experiment we prov
ed that the volume of any gas, at an
unchanging temperature, varies in
versely as the pressure exerted upon

Gases.

From Window comes the tale of

eat tin cans, as is commonly claimed.
The men found the goat in field,

ceeded in removing the can, the goat
began devouring leaves and grasses
in a manner which showed she was

Eighth Grade Reading

Miss Holmgren's eighth grade
reading classes revealed their poetic
talents by producing original poems.
There were poems of every variety.
one of the best was:
"My Dog"
/ have much loved dog named
Flash,
He's worthless dog, tits true.
I'd like to sell him for some cash,
But without him I'd be blue.
He sleeps upon my chamber floor,
And often in my bed.
My mother passing by my door,
Looks in and shakes her head
When morning come she wakes me
up,
Just when I'd like to sleep awhile.
He makes me lots of work, that
pup,
But when he's lost, l cannot smile.

RENO, New, April 25.-R. H. White

executed next month.
White, who was convicted of the MUIR

Perhaps the most perfect co-ordina-

brought into play to record the phases
OF the eclipse and its totality, which
1t is estimated will be only 1.3 seconds.

DR.. Fl. M. Jeffers of Lick Observatory
will endeavor to photograph the exact

by thermometers regulated by radio the
precise time of beginning and end of
total eclipse will be recorded to make
possible the correction of observations
governing the moons motion.

CAMPTONVILLE, Calf, April u.s.
In peaceful Oak Valley, as silent almost
as the phenomena they have come to

astronomers are taking strategic posi-
lions for q concerted exploration of the
eclipse of the sun April %.
Within and along the computed line
Of the shadow which the moon will

the sun and the earth at the rate of
about 1900 miles an hour, the finishing
touches are being given to months of

erected for the mounting of telescopes
and spectroscopes.
From dawn to dark and often late
into the night checking, correcting and
testing of instruments and apparatus is
being carried on.

TUCSON, Ariz., April 25.-A descrip-
ton of planet OK" heralded as the
ninth planetary member of the solar
system, in which the recently discovered
astronomical body was said to be about
the size of the earth, and to require
5000 years to complete circuit OF its
orbit, is available to the public for the
first time.
DR.. E. c. Slipher, Lowell Observatory
astronomer, one of those directly con-
nected with the recent discovery of the
transneptunian body, explained the Sc
crets of the planet in laymans language
after describing it to delegates of the
eleventh annual convention of the
Southwestern section Of the American
Association for Advancement OF
Science.
Here are the chief known facts con-
corning the astronomical body, as pre-
sented by DR.. Slipher:
Distance from the earth-41 astrono-
mical units, or 1885, 600, 900 miles.
Mass-Known to be smaller than at
first believed, but not computed.
Tentatively believed about the same as
the earth.
-Elliptical, its plane inclined
to that of the other major planets at
about 81 degrees, 81 minutes.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
SsW YORK, November 24-Stocks
on the Ourb Exchange drirted toward
lower levels today, without, however,
bringing about an increase in offer
ings
Public utilities led the downswing,
Electric Bond & Share declining about
a point. Middle West Utilities, United
Light & Power A and Niagara Hudson
Power were down small fractions. Cities
Service was of about half point on a
rather small turnover.
Natural Gas Shares turned active,
perhaps stimulated by the announce
ment of United Gas Corporations pur-
chase Of branch lines from Southern
Natural Gas Corporation This pur-
chase, which includes branch lines from
Bogalusa, La, to Canton, Laurel, Hat
tiesburg, Gulfport and Biloxi, Miss,
had no immediate effect on United Gas
or Southern Natural Gas.
Pipe line shares, such as Missouri
Kansas Pipe and Buckeye Pipe, the lat
ter at new low, continued their dc.
cline, but movements in oil and allied
securities were mixed.
Cheseborough Manufacturing, which
has declined about so per cent market
wise within the last year, rose more
than 4 points today. The company,
which recently paid an extra dividend,
has experienced a recession in earnings
but nothing in proportion to its recent
market decline, according to officials.
w. A. Sheaffer Pen was one OF the
first industrials to register new low
for the year. Later Sidney Blumenthal
performed similar feat. Cooper-Bes-
semer equaled its previous low.
Volume of transactions in the lore
noon was 185,800 shares, the lowest
turnover for any similar period since
November 3, when it was 165,SOO.
Copper shares resumed their dropping
tendencies. Traders showed signs OF be-
lieving statements from the metal trace
that the red metal had been advanced
too fast recently and that lower quota
tons could be expected.
Motor issues were fairly firm, the best
undertone being displayed by Ford Mo-
tor, Ltd; Ford Motor of Canada A and
American Austin. During this period,
however. air shares were virtually neg
lected.

ing new securities: Central Public Serv-

Preliminary to q series dealing with
the public utilities, an understanding of
the situation existing in the industry
today is essential. AS far as the mar
ket for the securities of these corpora
tons is concerned there has been a
great change in the attitude Of the
investor. Eighteen months ago the
common stocks Of the electric light and
power, the gas and the telephone COM
panies sold anywhere from 20 to 80
and sometimes even so times earnings
per share. The yield on these stocks
at prevailing dividends and current
market prices was much below that to
be had on the highest grade Of corpo-
ration bonds. Now all that is altered.
The public utilities are in nearly as
much disfavor now as they were in
favor at the height Of their popularity.
One reason for the reversal Is that the
speculation for the rise in 1929 was car
ried to an extreme. Another Is the fear
of political interference, meaning thereby
stringent regulation and possibly public
ownership. It would be a serious mis-
take to ignore the sentiment which
works against public utility securities
BILE factors as well as the actual statisti-
cal data which make prices In an open
market. At the same time 1t would
be just as serious mistake not to give
weight to the fundamental facts, one
of which Is that, unlike railroads, there
Is constantly growing demand for the
service the public utilities have to sell.
Even in times Of industrial depression
production of electric power does not
fall of in the same proportion as does
the output in other industries. Even
In times of a business setback gross
earnings of these companies show only
slight falling off. In other words,
the public utility field Is an expanding
one, and that being the case there can
be no permanent Depreciation in the
value Of their securities, considering
them as a whole, whatever may be the
temporary fluctuations in the market
appraisal of that value.
Investment in utility stocks and bonds
demands discrimination just as it does
anywhere else, but, given that discrini-
nation, 1t must prove profitable over
the longer term despite the political
handicap, II 1t Is a handicap. In the
articles which are to follow condensed
analysis Of the leaders will be attempted,
pay due attention to the senior obliga-
tons in the capital structure.
