STOCKS DEPRESSED
| TO NEW LOW POINT
Afternoon Rally Brings Out
Heavy SeIIing-PivotaI Is
sues Slump Sharply.
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, May 1.-THE stock
market receded rapidly today, several
pivotal shares reaching new low levels
for the movement. Efforts to support
the list during the afternoon proved
fruitless and prices broke sharply be-
fore the close. Reduction in the New
York discount rate to a level dupli-
Gated but once before and President
Hoover's optimistic report on business
conditions failed to stem the tide OF
selling.

of trading established a new 1880

While the lower rediscount rate is a
favorable augury for business generally,
so far as the long-range view Is con-
cerned, bankers point out that IL is
in a measure a reflection OF the Scant
demand for commercial loans, winch
reflects slow business generally, and
bidding up stocks on rediscount rate re-
auctions. a traditional procedure in the
past, amounts to putting the cart before

Federal Reserve to lower its rate at
time when 1t would not inspire new
orgy of speculation. 1t appears TO nave

Oil Stocks
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

CThis is the eighteenth of a series of
brief analyses by Mr.. Hughes of the
principal oil stocks. The intent is not
to recommend the purchase or sale Of
any particular stock, but to give the
investor such information as may enable
him intelligently to chart his own
course.)
In its income statement for 1929,
published a few weeks ago, the Stand
ard Oil Co. of Ohio reported the largest
net earnings since 1922. Income rose
from $3.50, $40 in 1928 to $4,202 1874 in
1929 and compared with the record of
IS, 804,837 in 1922.
This result, accomplished in year of
depression in the oil industry, empha-
sizes the extraordinary strength of the
company. There Is no funded debt, but
there are two classes of stock, pre-
ferred of 500 par outstanding to the
amount Of $7,000,00 and common of
$25 par outstanding to the amount Of
$l4 ,000, 900. On a per share basis the
1929 profit was equivalent to $3.50 a
share for the common, against $6.08 q
share in the preceding year.
The preferred stock, which is, Of
course, an investment of the highest
grade, sells well above the price of lis,
at which it is redeemable partly in rec
| ignition of the safety of the dividend,
and partly because it is tax exempt In
Ohio The market capitalizes earnings
| on the common at q high rate even for
| O Standard Oil stock, but there Is al
ways the possibility of stock dividend
or some other disbursement to the ad-
vantage of shareholders.
The history of the company Is the
foundation for belief that something of
this kind will come sooner or later. In
1915 q stock dividend of 100 per cent
was paid, and in 1922 another stock
dividend of 100 per cent. Three years
| ago the par value was reduced from
| 500 to the present $25, four shares of
new being given for one share of old
| The probabilities are that nothing will
be done in the stock dividend line at
present.
The annual report says that "the
company has been undercapitalized for
the expansion of its business, but it has
seemed to the management more ad-
visable so far as possible to utilize its
quick assets rather than to obtain new
capital. There Is no intention, how
| ever, OF doing this at the expense of
dividends" II, then, additional capital
is raised the operation Is not likely to
have any unfavorable effect on the
market price Of the stock certainly not
on its value and in the long run share
holders are sure to benefit. For this
reasonable certainty Of future prof1ts
they must, however, content themselves
with cash dividends at a modest rate,
the present disbursement being $3.50
annually.

Indianapolis Public Library

Puppet shows, triumphant over
the childish imagination, have
stormed even the citadel OF school
life and now a number Of schools
are presenting them as part OF the
school curriculum. orchard school
recently presented number of
plays at the public library, and
now Miss Lucia Ketcham has
drilled the pupils Of School 36 in
the production OF Midsummer
Nights Dream"
For child, the manipulation of
a puppet, the bringing to life of an
inanimate little body, gives a
breathless JOY, mysterious sense
of power.
Puppets dance and jerk through
the ancient history of Egypt and
the Orient. They gesture in the
ancient rites of Greece and Rome.
They appear in the writings OF
Plato and ApuleiuS.
Originated in 1000
Pucinella, famous buffoon, prob
ably originated in Naples around
1900, and his descendants have
travelled far and wide since then.
There is Punch in England; Publ
nella in Germany, and in France,
Polichenelle or Guignol.
With great enthusiasm CONT
mental countries received puppet
shows until some of the greatest
writer's and musicians became inter-
ested in them. The German poet,
Goethe, the great Italian dramatist,
Goldoni. and the French Skeptic,
Voltaire, all had their own puppet
stages and wrote puppet plays.
Haydn composed marionette operas.
Gounod wrote the piquapt, stilted
Funeral March of a Marionette. >"
Even George Sand and her son
Maurice owned puppets and gave
shows for the. amusement OF their
friends.
Made of Terra Gotta
The very Oldest puppets were
fashioned of terra Gotta. Other an
Gent ones were of bone, ivory and
carved wood. Perhaps the most
graceful of all we're the shadow
puppets of the Orient, made OF
stretched hide. beautifully gilded
colored and pierced. These were
manipulated by slender rods of bam-
boo and so placed between a light
and a screen that colored shadows
appeared before the audience. Shad-
ow plays still are to be seen in
China, India and Java.
