The Rally


prised at the way stocks forged
ahead yesterday, closing near the
best prices of the day. am
told that short covering made UP
the bulk Of the buying. that
when pivotal stocks began to
show a stubborn front during
the morning, the shorts became
uncomfortable and began cover
ing. This gained momentum as
the day progressed. Yet there
was buying of the best grade
at times also, and a floor mem
ber said after the close that sit
looked like the real thing
Steel's advance was said to be
almost entirely at the expense
of the shorts. The. stock, I hear,
harhored a huge short interest
that was apparently becoming
overcrowded and. especially the
amateurs a bit scared. The
tonnage decline was about as
the Street expected, and was
very little Of factor.
Jersey Standard
Standard Oil of New Jersey
put up one of the best dem
onStrations of the day, gaining
three points on heavy trading.
The tip was circulated before the
opening that the house en- the
corner was going to buy the
stock. Another rumor WAS that
Meehan was to start q pool in
Jersey when he returned Satur.
day. The combination Of both
reports undoubtedly induced many
to climb aboard the "5snd
wagon" as we'll as short covering.
Yet, as some one said, whether
or not there Is anything to the
tips, buyers were getting a good
stock at a fair price. And the
oil situation is showing a ray or
two or sunshine.
Oil Well Supply slipped over a
point yesterday after making a
new high. Rumors are being cir
culated now Of merger talk with
National Supply, which recently
acquired Spang Chalfant. At pres
ent prices and in view of past
earnings, I believe the stock has
discounted this possibility If not
q good deal more.
The Foods
The leading food stocks have
come through the depression well
so far. and their outlook is bright.
Interests close to Borden state
that business is good. National
Dairy officials said that their
per capita sales had fallen off
somewhat, but that they had Sc
cured enough new customers to
make UP this difference. I am
told that General Foods will show
second quarter net equal to last
year. Finally, an official of
Standard Brands said that busi-
ness had taken decided turn for
the better after poor first quar-
ter. I believe that at these levels
Standard Brands is a pretty safe
bet for a long pull, even though
it may go lower. 1t has good
properties, aggressive manage
ment and Morgan sponsorship.
Interests in close touch with

Of buying came in to Can when it

A Strange Reception.
Cincinnati Enquirer.)

Cincinnati Enqurer)
 In time of the rights of the private indi- vdual properly have been assumed to be always subordinate to the public welfare Not always however has this assumption worked out in justice to government and people; but the theory of pro- posed universal draft legislation contemplates cor rection of these nequities
 It is therefore, somewhat surprising that the forces and influence of labor have been extended to labors exemption from plans for universal draft.
 The Shell resolution calling for the appointmen, of joint Congressional and executive commission to study the question of giving the President power to draft man power and capital in event of war just has passed tb. House without record vote, and goes to the Senate.
 But in the Senl te amendment to the orig nal bill stipulates that the commission should not consider and should not report upon the advisa- bility of conscripting labor"
 This opposition not only surprised the Republi- can leaders, but distinctly surprises the entire country
 The American Legion, the War Department and patriotic societies generally favor universal draft recommendation upon the theory that its applica- ton would mean equal service by all and special profit to none" in time of But there continues to powerful opposition to the plan though labor was not expected to join with this antagonism
 There is doubt that the question is a debat- able one. Opponents of the proposition argue that such legislation would operate to put the Govern ment into private business and wreck the very machinery it sought to make more efficient; that It would represent fragrant attack on the prin- cipe of private property being Communstic in principle.
 Any conscription which contemplates the elim- nation of labor from the plan would be worthless Labor along with capital should be equally willing to make sacrifices in time of war emergency; otherwise any such proposed legislation must be considered an effort of futility 9

A Mining Company Should Make the Mos
 of Its Resources.
Engineering and Mining Journal)

Of the packing industry some one is reported to have said that it utilized everything of the pig except the squeal, and that was recorded dote some mining companies might find hint ead- ing them to review their practice to see what chances to make extra profit they have over looked. How much of their pig" do they turn to profit? Has all waste been eliminated? Are by products being utilized? The answers to these ques- tions are to be found in the tailing pile and sag dump, in the solutions run to waste, in the dust produced and in the gases passing to the stack
 few companies display remarkable thrift in this respect. An outstanding example is that of fered by well-known enterprise east of the Rocky Mountains Compared with the large-scale opera tions of the West 1t produces a modest tonnage Its ore is a massive suphide mixture, comprising principally copper, iron zinc, and sulphur It's copper and sulphur have long found their way to market as blister and acid respectively. The sul- phur furnishes most of the fuel in smelting Flo taton has enabled the company to ship the iron after sntering, to convenient furnace Similarly its zinc would have been disposed of had the zinc market been maintained. Its slag dump is grad ually being mined for ballast and road material And its fine fotation tailing has been used to some extent for construction purposes. Were it not for the znc-with which it is temporarily marking time-this operator might be said to be using even the "squeal" of it's figurative pig. One wonders if sooner later the hole left by the extraction of the deposit will be exploited for its inherent scenic qualities Needless to add, the companys operations have been profitable.

A DAY OF TRIBUTE AND
 CONSIDERATION.

Today the American people, laying aside their cares and duties for short space unitedy join in paying a tribute to their dead of all wars in which the nation has engaged since it came into being, and in renewing their consecration to the ideals and principles on which the republic was founded and has grown to be foremost world power It is a day that is sacred to all Americans, typfyng their unforgetfulness of the debt they owe to those who, at periods of national peril, offered themselves for the supreme sacrifice the altar of patriotism, giving their lives that the nation might continue to exist
 Born amid the gloomy hours that followed the four long years of fratrcidal strife in which north ern and southern laid down their lives for what each held firmly to be the right, Memorial Day has taken added significance each suc- ceeding year. Its origin in a beautiful custom of of the of the Southern States who each Spring decorated the graves of soldiers of the Confederacy. Soon it had spread to the North, it's first observance dating from May 30, 1868 which was set aside by a general order of Gen. John A. Logan of the Grand Army of the Republic As time passed nearly all of the States in the Union fixed that the date for the ceremony each year. Now throughout the nation the day has become a fixed institution.
 Addresses by leaders of the nation and others not great but sincere, songs from the lips of adults and children, the sound of drums and flies and bands, the sweetest and saddest call of the bugle. waters and graves strewn with garlands of flowers from Springs most beautiful bowers solemn prayers, the staccato rattle of muskery in gallant salute, today give tangible evidence that this is not ungrateful people nor a forgetful race; that those to whom it renders tribute died not in van that while the dead sleep easily in their hon. ored tombs there remains through their efforts and their sacrifices nation of free people living by and for those ideals established and kept nvioate by the men and women they strive to honor

NO HARD TIMES FOR "MOVIES."

That dreaded campaigner, General Business De- precision, commander of the army of hardtimes. has met more than his match in the movies" Steel. copper cotton coal. transportation and other in- dustries may be his meat but the "move-t -takie" all lance has not only repulsed the onslaught of the redoubted General but has driven him out of his trenches and put him to flight in open warfare.
 Reading the financial reports of the biggest movie" firms for the first quarter of this year brings the conviction that the public still has money to pay for it's amusements. Warner Bros. Leow's Inc, Fox Film, Paramount R-K-O and Co., lumbia Pictures show increases in profits ranging from TIT to PCT per cent These four, Fox including Leow's dominate the field of 22 00O theatres in this country. Of that total about 5000 wired for sound. Weekly admissions for the first quarter placed at 100oO000O. The average in 1929 s5oOoooo; in 1928. 65OOOOOO and in 1927 ST. 100000. The added sound feature including late i'm provements is said to be the biggest factor in in- creased popularity.

Where MOlOch Once Held Sway.
(New York Times.)

If the Carthage where the 1880 Eucharistic Congress is being held is only heap of ruins a dozen miles from the prosperous city of Tuns the reason is not primarily that stern old Cato in a real sense had his way. That fine hater did con- clude every of his speeches in the Roman
 Senate, no matter on what subject, with the urgent recommendation that Carthage be destroyed and had he lived only another three years he would have seen a Roman army execute his wish. in 146 lB c.

WHERE DRYS ARE IN CONFLICT WITH
 THE LAW.

Recently in a speech in the lower House, Rep resentative Fort, Dry leader and announced Dry candidate for the G. O. P. Senatorial nomination in New Jersey, declared that the manufacture of home brew was perfectly legal under the National Prohibition laws Questioned about the Anti Saloon Leagues views on this question, General Supern- tendent Scott Mcbride admitted it coincided with that of MT. Fort
 Now comes the Supreme Court with decision making it violation of the law for merchants to display for sae not only sell apparatus and articles for the manufacture of such brew. It confirmed the seizure and confiscation of malt bottles caps cappers etc, by Dry agents from Chicago whole sale store. Notice has been given by the firm that it will seek to reopen the case and it has retained Clarence Darrow to represent it in the action.
 Naturally the Drys with an eye to the effect of the Supreme Courts decision on the average householder accustomed to enjoying unmoested his brew, cannot but feel a little alarmed over the outcome It victory for them but one that carried discomfort rather than cheer Approy- ing of home brewing as legal, they are confronted by the fact that their pet law threatens to cut off the source of supply making 1t possible to manu- facture homebrew. Without the ingredients of manufacture, bottles to put 1t in, caps to cover them and cappers to finish the job. home brew ing might become lost art, and those engaged

TREES.

The miracle of the trees which occurs each year about this time, has again been performed. Leafing, that wonder of nature is almost complete in all it's fullness. The birds have to play and sing in the green coverts which few weeks ago bare. Where there are no trees birds do not come and finger.
 The trees bring to mankind also the blessings of beauty, shade and health They should be cher ished and preserved. Their utility is equal to their benefactons of loveliness So plant trees more and more trees, and give them meticulous care and attention properly due to all things which contribute to the service of humankind
