IMPROVED RUBBER
TRADE |SFORECAST
Elimination of Competitive
Methods and Closer Organi-
zation Believed in Prospect.

When smaller and weaker rubber
companies have passed out of existence
in the next year or two, and when
present disturbing competitive methods
in the industry have been eliminated,
the big Five" in the rubber industry
will survive current unsettlement and
prosper increasingly, it is predicted in
q current issue of the Wall Street
journal.
In discussing the rubber outlook for
the year, the Journal says:
There has been considerable quiet
buying of the dividend-paying rubber
stock$ recently. Although the first
quarter of the current year has been
a lean period for the tire manufacturers.
the industry looks forward confidently
to the final three-quarters of the year
to produce the biggest volume of re-
placement tire sales In history.
Margin or profit on this class of
business is much larger than on orig
i1al equipment sales, which, because of

on the stock were paid at the annual
rate of 50 a share, but on March 3,
1880, the directors reduced the rate
from SO cents to IS cents share quar-
terly, stating that the reduction would
enable the company to take advantage
of prevailing low gasoline prices, since
1t purchases substantial part of its re-
quirements in the open market, and
that 1t was hoped the rate could be re-
stored before the end of this year.

Oil Stocks
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

CThis is the nineteenth of a series
of brief analyses by Mr.. Hughes of

share.
Comparison with results in 1923 is
not readily made because during 1929
the corporation acquired the controlling
interest in the Municipal Service Cor
poration, which operates service stations
doing both wholesale and retail bust
ness in gasoline and oil in New York
State. The company is conservatively
managed. Out of the earnings given
above the sum of $685., 900 was charged
off to adjust crude oil inventories to
give effect to the reduction in price
made January Is, 1880.
Taking into account this charge off
earnings would be $215 share. In dol

Followed another scuff1e in the dark,
this one between Rudy and me, which
ended with both of us flying out the
front door into the night.
When some 10 minutes later we re-
turned, mud-bedraggled, still toting our
gun, we found Gerry standing in the
living room, so thoroughly drenched and
mud-encrusted that only the whites of
his eyes and his teeth shone through
the clay mask to identify him. He was
administering first aid to mother, who,
a moment earlier, had entered the liv-
ing room with the candle and, miStak-
ing Gerry for the miscreant, had
screamed for help and tainted.
And now the story came out-as
much of it as we ever learned.
Gerry, on the yeranda, had seized the
intruder by the coat just as he was
about to escape. Catlike, the man had
turned on Gerry and, pinioning him
by the arms, had pitched him headlong
over the railing with its 12-foot drop
to the ground, which fortunately was
rain soaked and spongy, so Gerry was
only stunned, not killed. A moment
later Gerry picked himself up, ran after
the man and shot at him blind-three
times, just like that
II know / hit him because I heard
him scream" shouted Gerry trium-
phantly. He got away, but I'm sure
he's only lying dead or wounded out

found the mans footprints and the i'm

over a low wall. There in the mud lay
several broken cigars that had tumbled
