. Prospects Good

With but five trading sessions
remaining before the year-end the
prospects for continued better
ment over this period are fairly
bright. Precedent alone calls for
a firm market in this holiday
interval, since one stock market
student after a study Of the
action of stocks over the past
80 years, reveals that with but
one exception, the market has
shown a marked tendency to-
ward firmness or advance. Even
in the 1929 downturn, after 0
sharp break to new low levels on
December %, ordinarily bearish
indication, the list turned about
abruptly thereafter to reach Q
high on the first trading day Of
January, some IS above the low.
recorded on the former date.
The buoyant tone displayed by
such pivotal leaders as U. s.
Steel, American Can, General
Electric, and Westinghouse, has
served notice to sceptic followers
that the best sort of leadership is
being employed to restore conf
dence into the market. While it
is problematical whether stocks
will be able to stand up under
the publication of adverse state
mentS to be made public early in
the new year, short term traders
may find the line of least resist
ance for the remainder Of this
month on the upside. .
No Undue Effects
The unexpected reduction Of the
New York bank rediscount rate
to 2 per cent failed to have
any undue effect upon values.
The long term bullish signifi-
canoe Of this move cannot be over
estimated but it is very easy 70
misjudge the near term effect.
Mention is made Of the fact that
after a series of four increases IN
the rediscount rate during the bull
market, stocks turned sharply
down within five weeks Of the
posting of a 6 per cent rate.
The reduction to 2 per cent is
the seventh since the break in the
market and lowest in the history
of the New York Federal Reserve
Bank. While there is no need Of
credit at the moment, when the
trend of business does change, the
easy money policy of the Federal
Reserve Bank will aid materially
in financing the new rise.
Food Stocks
The following is q list Of
stocks representing food compan-
les, which, according to popular
estimates, will be able to show
earnings this year at least equal
to requirements of their current
regular dividends: Beechnut Pack
ing, $5.45; Borden, $3.50: Corn
Products Refining, $4.75; Cream
of Wheat, $3.15; General Foods,
$3.50; Hershey Chocolate, $3.50;

$4.10; Purity Bakeries, $500:
Shattuck, $1.85; Standard Brands.
$1.25; United Biscuit, $425; and
United Fruit, $4.25.
Bank Yields
At the low prices recently pre-
vailing, many of the leading New
York bank stocks yielded per
cent or better, a return not wit
messed on such shares since 1924,
in most cases. Higher yields were
common following the war, until
the aggressive bull market in bank
stocks started in 1924, but were

Peril From Possible
Falling Airplanes
To the Editor Of The Star

To the Editor Of The Star:
Together with many other readers Of
your paper, I appreciate your criticism
of advertising through loud speakers in
the air. Can't your campaign go step
farther consistently? I refer to the
danger to our citizens in airplanes fly
ing over us at all. Almost daily some
craft falls and we are, of course, sorry
for the pilot and passengers. But how
about the innocent spectator on the
ground or the unprotected resident in
his home? Fortunately We have had
no serious accident so far. Must we be
taught care by calamity? Imagine what
would happen If some airplane cracked
up" and dropped-perhaps exploded and
burned-on F street at its crowded noon
hour! Yet daily they soar over the
busy streets. One doubts the wisdom
of taking the risk, even on permit. In
fact one questions the authority,
whether Federal or local, of those who
issue such permits. OF course, the air
is free, but unruly planes, like noise, do
descend 1t seems to me aircraft should
avoid the densely populated districts
and find their lanes above waterways
or rural communities. Then in case of
trouble and a forced descent the pilot
would have a better chance for making
his hurried landing, and the scarcity of

son or property. believe heavy plane

experience here in order to learn?
Poor, suffering city dweller! Noises,
smells, burglars, dogs and cats, even the
children, overrun his premises. intrude
in his home, rob him Of the peace and
quiet to which he is entitled. The
huckster cries in the street, the peddler
rings his doorbell, the ambitious adver-
tiser reaches him through the mail and
over the radio. Now we are being ex-
horted from above to use airways shaw

to be fattened out on the street or in

Stone Mountain Prospects
Stir Interest in Bigger Plan

scheme for a time seemed In danger
of complete collapse. The peo-
pie of the South are not going TO offer
any financial support until there Is
some assurance that the memorial TO

jected to a bitter controversy.

From all accounts, the present plan is
to enlarge the scheme, which will make

and consummate skill Of plotting and
navigation could bring him through
safely. He has already demonstrated
that 1t is no easy task TO get the plane,
overloaded beyond capacity and strained
in every Joint, into the air with sufficient
fuel to carry 1t. even under favorable
conditions, for the forty-fve-h hundred
mile Journey. Only one place In Japan
could be found for the take-off and
this, long beach, had to be especially
prepared to insure even the minimum
OF safety in the flyers most dangerous
moment.
1t is all very we'll that the same thing
could be said OF Lindbergh and Coste.
Their planes were likewise strained al
most to the breaking point for the get
away and they faced a forbidden and
hazardous flight over the ocean in land
planes, an effort that had defeated many
others before them. But after all avia-
tion has progressed to the point where
there is not great deal to be gained
by proving that under exceptionally
favorable weather conditions a good
plane and pilot can perhaps, with the
greatest luck, fly just little farther
from ere point to another or cover a
course that has never been covered be-
fore.
The Pacific has never been flown
nonstop, but Mai. Kingsford- Smith, in
his magnificent fight westward in the
Southern Cross, did about all that it
was necessary to do to show that 1t
was not only dangerous undertaking
but one that required the utmost in
preparation, in equipment, In skill and
in navigation ability even with two
stops en- route. Some day, probably, the
Pacific will be flown without plane or
pilot coming to earth or ocean. but with
present planes and motor development
it would APPEAR that the outstanding
abilities Of man like Bromley, who has
had more than three thousand hours in
the air, could be better utilized than in
a needless bid for glory with the cards
stacked against him.

however, should do much to relieve an
already congested condition.
In this connection 1t is especially
gratifying to the people Of Washington
that the street work In the past year
has been conducted with the efficiency
that should characterize a city Of the
size of the National Capital. In former
years, unfortunately, it appeared that
when street was repaved It almost
inevitably meant that the following
month would see it torn up for sewer
work, the next for gas work and the
next, perhaps, in front of a business
building or residence for some other
kind Of work. Apparently there
was an entire lack Of coordination,
much to the expense Of the District and
much to the inconvenience of motorists.
This year, however, has seen re-
markable and desirable change of policy,
and to Capt Whitehurst for his activity
in this respect are due the thanks of the
community. No longer are streets torn
up and repayed only to be cut again a
few days later. Every effort is toward
coordination and ample notice is given
that when a street is once repaired it
is closed to further underground opera
tons for considerable period. Capt.
Whitehurst's Christmas shopping plan
is in line with this constructive policy.
and the prediction can safely be made
that conditions this year for the uni
versal Christmas activity Will be better
than ever before.

One parallel is is to be noted in the
outcome of the recent Canadian and
German elections, notwithstanding ap-
parent conflict in the defeat of the
Liberal party in the one instance and
the amazing gains Of the extremists in
the other. In both countries, opposition
to the established government held
sway. Desire for a change may be seen
also in recent South American revolu-

naturally are disturbed. Protest votes
rejecting discomfort and yearning for

Wise Decisions.

Lieut.. Harold Bromley, the ambitious
Canadian flyer, who four times has
essayed a nonstop trans-Pacifc flight
and four times has failed, has made
two wise decisions during the past week.
The first was made while he was
flying twelve hundred miles out
from Japan on his latest ill-starred
adventure. Gasoline was flying in his
face from a leaky feed-line, monoxide
gas was almost suffocating him and his
navigator in the cockpit and impene-
trable fog was all around him. He de-
cided then that it was suicide TO pro-
coed and turned back to make safe
landing almost at his starting point
after being more than twenty-five hours
in the air His second decision was
made yesterday and that was to give up
the trip for this year at least. More
than a month would be required To
repair the plane and by that time the
typhoon season would be setting in, sc

Takes Issue With
Sermon on the Dog

To the Editor OF The Star:
We are all more or less familiar with
the old expression Gone to the dogs"
but in my opinion 1t was never more
clearly illustrated than In an article
of Mary E. Clark which appeared in a
recent edition of The Star. This article
dealt with a church service at which q
dog occupied the sanctuary with its
master, who delivered the address I
have always been a lover OF dogs, and
have raised them from puppies to ma
turity, but / shudder at the idea of
using church for kennel
The writer said that God spoke to
the people through the dog. In this
age OF education and culture l feel
sorry for any one who displays such an
utter lack of knowledge Of the Scrip
lures. In the New Testament we read
that the Lord expressly says that in
these latter days He speaks to the peo-
pie through His Son, and I ind no
record where He has Cancelled that
declaration. Therefore, I fail to under
stand how a person can have the au-
dacity to say that the Almighty is
doing differently when there is no rec
ord to support the statement. 1 WON
der If the writer ever heard any one
testify that they hoped to reach Heaven
by looking at a dog in church and
listening to a discourse on whether or
not poor Fido should gnaw chicken
bone. How absurd
When Moses saw the burning bush
the Lord told him to take of his shoes
because the place wherein he stood was
holy ground. Why? Not because a dog
was present, but because the Lord Him
self was there, and He desired to inn
press upon Moses that wherever the
Lord is that is holy ground. Every
church is dedicated to the worship of
the Lord and should be so used. The
money changers and traders in doves
were once driven out of the temple by
Christ because they deSecrated the place
of worship, SO that should be warning
to both pastor and people today. This
article may sound like q sermon, but
maybe our friend will take heed and
read the Scriptures to see what they
say on a particular subject before at
tempting to air her views before the
thinking American public.

Detroit Bans Pistol
Permits for Gunner

From the San Bernsrdino Sun.
1t tends to make an American ratf r
thou full 10 read that the Detroit
Police Department no longer will grant
permits for carrying pistols to persons
with police rec NrdA. This decision has
been reached as a result of the dis
closure that permits ere issued recently
to more than dozen racketeers and
gunner with long and serious records
of lawlessness.
Isn't it curious commentary on the
state of civilization in Detroit that gun
men and racketeers were ever licensed
to carry guns?
And the finger of scorn need not be
pointed particularly at Detroit. Tie
same thing has been going on in other
Am ean cities.
Some of our cities and States haven't
even any system of license for the con-
troll of gun-toting, VII h, honestly en-
forced, might prevent the illegitimate
possession of firearms.
Still worse is the fact that as a Ma
ton we have not yet taken control OF
the manufacture and sale of deadly
weapons. We try to disarm the world
and yet allow our own criminals and
fools, openly or furtively, to get all the
arms they want.
