LOST Is pounds that Summer was
clerking at the Fairview-and every
ounce marked an encounter with
wilkins. He'd spent all of his Sum-
mers at the Fairview for the past
$50 years or SO, and I suppose he did
have some rights as an early settler.
There was some talk that on his first
visit he'd come in covered wagon, but
you don't have to believe it If you don't
want to. Anyway, he thought he owned
the place.
I remember he had one chair on the
sun porch in the southwest corner that
he considered his private property-and
heaven defend the one who sat there!
One of the most familiar sights of the
hotel was wilkins shining, bald dome
over the back of the chair while he
summed himself and dozed. New guests
wouldn't always realize the enormity Of
the offenSe of sitting in wilkins chair,
and then what an explosion! 1t would
make a charge of TINT sound like the
postmans whistle. finally settled that
difficulty by presenting him with a nice
sign lettered wet Paint" which he hung
on the chair except when he was in 1t.
It worked o. K, only the old boy got a
reputation for more or less mild insanity
with new guests for picking the only
chair on the porch marked "Wet Paint"
to sit on.
But I didn't know what real trouble
was until the day Evangeline Dearborn
and her Tobias arrived. I was at the
desk one night when IN breezed one of
the dizziest females I've ever seen. She
was dressed in a style that would have
made any self-respecting fiapper throw
up the sponge and buy herself panta-
lettes and a hoop skirt, and I'll swear
she wasn't day over SIS. Or six.
Well, she swept up to the desk and gave
me the full benefit of an alluring smile.
But controlled myself and merely said
in the manner I reserve for grand
duchesses: what can do for you,
MADAME"
'T want the best room in the hotel, !"
she said. Now mind you, said the
best There must be cross ventilation
and southern exposure"

ball to Tobias was as smoke to the old
fire horse.
wilkins took particular dislike to the
pup and hurled dirty looks-and, I re-
gret to say, on occasion more concrete
objects-at him whenever Evangeline
wasn't near. We began to notice. how
ever, that he was positively nice to the
dog when she was around, and it wasn't
long before all the staff were gossiping
about the romance. wilkins hadn't been
known to smile since he first laid out his
claim at the Fairview back in the COS
until he had been seen on three different
occasions twisting back his facial muscles
into something intended to be a smile
when he was talking to the fair Evan
geline.
Evangeline plaStered on twice as much
makeup, and the chambermaid reported
to the housekeeper, who in turn passed IL
on to us, that the old girl was using
Is curl papers night instead of Is. Nat
urally, we scented love affair Twenty
five curl papers, we argued, could spell
nothing but romance.
The head waiter put their tables to-
gether, and took 1t upon myself to send
flowers to Evangeline's room with a card
reading simply, "Your Humble but De-
voted Admirer" She was twice as nice
to him after that, and wilkins thawed
to such an extent that he was positively
maudlin. But this, 1t turned out, was
only the well known lull before the
equally well known storm. Disaster was
soon to overtake our happy family.

RAIL BONDS DIP
AS FRACTIONS
ADVANCE
By MUNROE ROBERTS

NEW YORK, Oct. 4 UN.SO.
The bond market continued ir-
regular today, with further heavi-
ness in the rails serving to hold
back investment buying in other
sections of the list.
While the controversial Nickel
Plate IS failed to put in an ap-
pearance on the first hour, the
41as were active and reactionary,
dropping Y to duplicate yester-
days low at 20.
Elsewhere in the speculative
rail group, Chicago Northwestern
424s were off u at 25; Missouri
Pacific SIS "F" were down y at
80; New York Central SIS dipped
"a to SO, and Pennsylvania As
of '48 dropped "a to 95A.'
The Interborough Is pushed
ahead 112 points to 591a, and
the Refunding rs gained 2 points
at 48.
The German Loans were mod
erately easier in the foreign
group, the 5hs dropping back
11s points to 52B, and the rs
showing a loss of 3s at 70.
United States Government
bonds were quiet and steady.

In an extremely dull and mar
row market stocks Sagged slightly
last week. All the main groups
closed lower than a week ago,
the averages being off two or
three points. The utilities were
weaker than the average.
The bond market continued
mixed, but weakness in second
grade rails carried most of the
average fractionally lower.
Active Issues Few
It is notable that a large per-
centage of the activity was con-
fined to a few stocks, and that
these stocks have been held up
somewhat better than the rest
of the market. These most &C.
tive issues include such as Mont
gomery Ward and United Air
craft.
In most of them pools" or
group operations are believed to
be at work.
Of course the great question
is, are they being held up and
churned for the purpose Of sell
ing them to the public at these
levels, or do their sponsors intend
to run them higher?
Plans Kept Secret
Obviously those gentlemen are
not going to tell us everything
that is in their minds. Further
more the attitude of the public
and developments in business and
politics are important and chang
ing factors.
We can only draw inferences
from the action Of the market
and the signs of technical con-
ditionS.

|NNEW PHASE

The recovery movement entered
the second stage in the month
ended September 10, according to
the American Bankers Association
Journal. The first stage, which
began the middle of June, con-
sisted mainly of growing public
confidence that a turn for the
better was impending. The Jour
nal says:
"The second stage consists Of
the emergence in various direc-
tiOnS of the improved financial,
trade and industrial statistics
that were needed to justify the
state of public confidence in
the period that went before and
to stimulate an increase in
actual business activity in the
period to follow"

Artificial Market Unsafe
For Public, Says Haney

that a good deal of "dlStrloutlon'
remains to be completed. If So
the sponsors of many stocks
want to sell. But at what price
that is the question. You can
get either bullish or bearish in
trying to answer it.
Views Differ Widely
Some say that the public is
apathetic and will not come in
They figure that the pressure OF
delayed distribution by pools"
will cause a Sell-off.
Others say that the "pools"
have to support and mark up
their stocks in order to sell them,
and conclude that the next move
will therefore be upward.
I am frankly unable to reach a
definite conclusion. 1 think that
a break out of this narrow trad
ing range is due soon, and that
possibly Mr.. Hoover's forthcoming
speech will be the occasion for it.
But which way?
Artificial Control
If it were not for the large
amount of artificial control over
the market, my opinion would be
that considerable reaction is to
be expected. But there is enough
evidence that such control is still
strong to make one hesitate to
stick to the more fundamental
indications.
For example, 1 think that the
rise in the market following the
setback in August was entirely
the froth of manipulation and
optimistic sentiment.
Sooner or later that ground is
likely to be retracted. I think that
a good many stocks are unduly
high, and that the averages have
outrun any real improvement or
prospects.

Famous Picture Returns to New
Dream More OverpOwer-

<sRen-Hur," the worlds most SEN
sational motion picture, makes a
triumphant return at the New Dream
Theatre, Wednesday and Thursday,
April 6 and Z, with the added attrac-
tion which brings to life the voices OF
the multitudes in the spectacular
crowd scenes. This great picture,
which will live through the ages as
the most remarkable achievement OF
silent films, was filmed by Fred MD
10 in Italy and America at cost OF
four million dollars which is easily
evident from a glimpse of its gigant-
lie backgrounds and spectacular cpl
sides such as the thrilling sea battle
and the magnificent chariot race by
which Ramon Novarro in the title role
avenges his Roman antagonist, Mes
sala, who has been the cause OF the
ruin of himself and his kinsfolk.
Sound effects bring fresh aspect
to this magnificent picture giving it:
spectacle tremendous realism. Fol
now you now only see the charioteer'
tearing around the course cheered OF
by the frenzied spectators, but vol
hear them as well. The sound effects
in the thrilling sea combat episodes
are likewise effective. This amazing
picture in it's. reissued version i
