DIVIDEND FEARS
PUT MARKET
ON SKIDS
BY LESLIE GOULD

NEW YORK, April 5 G.N.S0
Dividend uncertainties brought a
reversal in the stock market to-
day. wiping out practically all the
Improvement of yesterdays late
rally.
Profit-taking brought a lower
opening, with leading issues show
ing losses from fractions to more
than a point. Auburn was a
weak spot, slumping 5 points in
the Is minutes of trading, and
carrying the rest of the market
back to yesterdays lows.
Slump in AtchisOn
The unSettlement this created
was enhanced when Atchison
opened 512 points lower and then
extended its decline to 1894 be-
fore meeting support. Selling was
induced by reports the Sc divi-
dend would be cut in half at to-
days directors meeting, with
some expressing the belief it might
be omitted entirely.
The bottom price on Atchison
today was the lowest the stock
had sold since 1904.
Other rails were weak. New
York Central dropped more than
point and Union Pacific 3
points. Pennsylvania went to a
new bear market low. The Van
Sweringen rails were under fur
ther pressure, led by Chesapeake
& Ohio. Strength in railroad
bonds was ignored.
New Low for Smelling
American Smelling went to a
new record low, forecasting pos
sible omission of the 50-cent divi-
dend at today's meeting. Ana
conda also went to a new low,
bringing q heavy tone to the
metal shares. Columbian Carbon
lost 2 points, it's selling price to
yield II per cent, indicating
readjustment in it's SO dividend.
North American and ConSoli-
dated Gas lost a point apiece,
unsettling the utilities. Leaders
like U. S. Steel, Telephone and
American Can we're down from
l to 2 points each. Oils were
comparatively steady.
Bonds generally showed a bet
ter tone, aided by the rise in Sec
ond grade rails.

japanese interests sold July

business for the co-operatives sold
July and December, but in
small way.
There was a moderate amount
of trade buying. including price
fixing for the continent. Liver.
pool and New Orleans bought
May, while commission houses
bought distant months.
There was nothing new in the
textile reports. A leading Worth
Street house reported sales again
below production for the week
just ended, and 1t was felt that
March statistics of the cotton
textile merchants would not be
particularly encouraging.
At noon futures were off 10

Loon1is Tells How Lapsed
Insurance Saued Wid0w

September, 1923, at which time
they were allowed to lapse. No
payments were made after that
and substantial lien notes were
outstanding.
In October of last year, the
insured died as a result of an
operation for appendicitis, leaving
a wife, a daughter II years old,
and a son 3 years old. destitute.
They applied to the county vel
fare board, which learning of
insurance the beneficiary regarded
as no value, inquired of the COM
pany. More than $4,000 was dis
covered to be in force under the
extended insurance provision.
Good Advice Prevails
Both the agent of the company
and the welfare board advised
the widow to allow the proceeds
to remain with the company. the
funds to be paid in monthly
inStalments, as she had no bust
ness experience, but the widow
wanted the money in cash, which
the company paid. And here
another of the company's service
stepped in. The agency director
felt it his duty personally to
deliver the check, and to again
urge that the money be allowed
to remain with the company, to
be drawn in monthly instalments.
The beneficiary finally consented
to allow $4,000 to remain and be
paid S35 a month for six years,
enabling her to put her daughter
through school when the two
could support the second child.
but years old. The cash cleared
her of debts.

By FRANK F. LOOMS

Life insurance has done more
to abolish poverty than all the
dreams of financiers or the acts
of constructive statesmen. During
life it makes a man alive to his
moral responsibilities, teaches him
habits of thrift. After his death,
it solves the problem of what
shall become of the widow and
orphan?"
1t saves the widow worry, and
provides shelter. food, clothing
and education for the children.
1t gives security for the family,
the home, and the children.
Strength Demonstrated
During the past two years life
insurance has demonstrated its
impregnable strength and stabil-
ity, and there is no better way in
which to become acquainted with
what life insurance really does
than to read a letter from one
who has had actual experience.
The husband of woman
whose record is known to this
writer was insured at 81 years
of age in 1921 in one of our
large old line legal reserve life

shows that they had a real strug-

On numerous occasions they were
obliged to let the period of grace
go by, later reinStating and tax

LITTLE CHANGE ON CLOTH

NEW YORK. April 5 s).-There
was little change in either the price
structure or the tone of the coarse
warn cloths market today. Second hands
did business in small lots, as did the
relatively small group Of print cloth
sellers who have not maintained the
full market on their goods. There were
large buying interests in the markets
and a number looked forward to post
ponement of any large buying until
after the matter of further reduction

formulated after long study and in consulta-
tion with civilian detitians of national stand
ing and approved by his corps commander
His proposal is awaiting the action of the War
Department which has indicated its sympathy
with efforts to improve the Army menu and its
purpose to make such improvements
The major was somewhat doubtful at first
about applying what he had learned about nu-
triton from Army menus to the dietary prob
lens OF the American home. He was afraid peo-
pie would think soldiers are fed differently from
civilians. They are not, he says and the lack
OF balance in the soldiers diet is found also
in the diet Of civilians

my ration would vary with the cost of all food
stuffs"
The value of the official garrison ration is
dominated by two items of food daily allow
ance Of 18 ounces of beef and ounces of
bacon-not one-fourth of which is consumed by
the soldier. Therefore, when beef and bacon
high priced the money allowance Is ample
or even excessive. When they are relatively
cheap, as now, the money allowance will not
purchase the needed foods
For example," says Perley, "in my proposed
ration, in place of the large amounts of beef
and bacon I put in smaller amounts of beef
ham, fresh pork, corned beef, lamb, poultry
eggs and fish.
My ration agrees very closely with the
average soldiers diet. 1t has pint of milk
two eggs Ia pint Of milk and two eggs are more
than the Army can buy soldier under the
present system Of BUYING and fresh fruits
that Is bananas. oranges and grapefruit. The
1aily quantity Of fresh fruit is equivalent to one
orange or one-half Of grapefruit
IN AZ proposed ration increases the number
Of vegetables. The Official ration has
potatoes, onions, canned tomatoes I suggest
the addition of lettuce and canned peas because
they are excellent foods and are bought in large
quantities by the Army"
The major claims his ration adds to the va
riety OF the soldiers fare though it has no more
items in it. 1t not only has more meats and
vegetables, but more forms Of cereals For in
stance, it adds powdered milk and small al
lowance Of ice cream, enough ice cream so the
men can have it once twice week
When Maj. Perley had charge of training
camp some years ago he insured the prompt
return OF the young men to their quarters by
serving them ice cream in a pint of milk at
bedtime. This nightcap had more drawing
power than rules and regulations.
The new ration would add fresh milk and
eggs, sums up the major. For the dried fruits
and vegetables he would substitute fresh ones.
He leaves the -four in greatly reduced guam
hty. eliminates the macaroni-which the SOL
diers seldom eat-and substitutes mkbread
and oatmeal, both of which they eat. He lets
coffee represent all beverages and dispenses
with tea and cocoa, not because they aren't
good but because including them causes un-
necessary computation.
Leaving evaporated milk butter and sugar
in the ration, he takes out lot of petty items
that have no bearing on the COST such as
favoring extract, vinegar pickles. salt. pepper,
sirup, baking powder. jap1, cinnamon and rice.
Rice, classed as a vegetable in the official ra-
tion, is really a cereal.
