Independence Day Celebration


 Glorious Fourth was a distinct
 success in every particular, al-
 though somewhat abbreviated in scope as compared to earlier years, and was greatly enjoyed by residents of the district from both sides of the internat- ional boundary line. In fact the crowd of celebrants includ- ed more Canadians than Amer
 jeans.
 The program was carried out on the ball grounds and includ- ed field sports for the child ren, in addition to some for the adults, a soft ball game be- tween the Hyder and Stewart teams, and base ball game between a composite Hyder- Stewart team and the Premier team, the latter being the in- itial game in the annual Hiam Cup series.
 The program was concluded with a dance in Pioneer Hall under the auspices of the Pion- eers of Alaska which proved a most enjoyable event and was attended by a large crowd.
 The streets and many of the business houses were gayly decorated with the national colors and presented a decide ly festive appearance, while the small boy and his fire crackers provided ample en- thusiasm of the noiser type.
 Hyder won the soft ball game by the close score of Il to 12 in a hard fought contest full of exciting moments and good playing by both teams. Pre- mier carried off the honors in the baseball contest by a score of 12 to IS. The game was a fast one throughout. For the first few innings it looked like a walk-away for the Hyder- 1 Stewart team, but the mine ag-I gregation rallied and gradually forged to the front by close playing and hard hitting.
 The contest was somewhat | marred by the injury of Sam. 1 McNeill, crack pitcher of the district, who was in the box for the locals. MT. McNeill, | while sitting on the side lines, , was struck in the face by a foul bal, and sustained a badly | fractured nose.
 Following are the names of , the winners of the various field 1 sports: Races Under 6 years, T. Jadroe- L. l Armstrong. Girls-6 to 8:Tozier-Armstrong. Girls 8 to To- Murphy-Re.d. 1 Boys 8 to 10, Heineke-Legge. 1 Boys 10 to 12, Murray Hein- eke.

Old Christ Episcopal Church, of course, is
one of the principal points Of interest on the
Navy Yard, for its location on G street between
Sixth and Seventh streets dates back to 1906,
when construction was begun, the first services
being held by Rev A. T. Mccormick August .,
1907. For more than decade after it was
founded May 25 1885, 1t met on New Jersey
avenue near street southeast in building
that had been a tobacco house and which was
purchased from Daniel Carroll. Here Thomas
Jefferson is said to have attended to listen TO
the sermons preached by Rev. George Ralph,
the first rector of the congregation.

For many years he has been employed at the

his extension Of time. OF course he could not
run down the bases and cry you're OUT with
the same degree of alertness and emphasis rs
formerly, but taking it all in all he is holding
his own very well, and If he cannot play the
game time at least has not diminished his
enthusiasm. Let us hope the Great Umpire
will not call Billy out for many years to come.

OIL TRADE READY
FOR RBUS|NESS TURN
Industry Has Put House in
Order for Expected
UpSWing.
BY BENNETT WOLFE,
Associated Press Staf Writer.

TULSA, Okla, July l6-The oil in
dustry. in the views of its captains. is
stripped for action and ready to set the
pace in business recovery as soon as the
expected upswing in general economic
conditions definitely arrives
The industry's statistical position and
encouraging developments are cited in
support of the prevailing belief the oil
business is in strategic situation to
reap every benefit from improvement in
other lines.
Some CT the facts lending hope TO
oildom's leaders are:
l. Liquidation of the heavy gasoline
stocks that clouded the industrys out
look Is months ago.
2. Reduction Of inventory values and
the saving of millions of dollars through
cu1ling of organizations and reduction
of operating expenses
8 Curtailment in development of new
production and in exploration work in
the interest of both conservation and
economy.
4. Refining Improvements resulting in
better products at lower costs.
S. The halung Of seemingly thought
less expansion Of marketing facilities.
Weather Affects Sales.
Oil men are agreed the industrys i'm
provement has been retarded by the
rainy weather CT the late Spring and
early Summer. Whenever rain or cold
checks operation of the country's auto
mobiles the oil business feels a decided
effect.
This year the seasonal climb in gaso-
line consumption has been delayed far
beyond expectations and fer that reason
all oil men are hoping for favorable
weather during the rest of the tourist
season. And they're doing their best to
promote motorized vacations.
Meanwhile such leaders as A. l..
Beatty. president of the American Pc
troleum Institute: E. B. Reeser, presi-
dent of the Barnsdall Corporation and
past head of the institute: w N Davis,
vice president of the Phillips Petro-
leum Co., and Harry H. Smith, general
secretary of the Midcontinent Oil and
Gas Association. are working to effect
permanent cure of the industry's ills
Directors Of the institute have beer
called by President Beatty to meet at
Colorado Springs July % tc consider
immediate problems
Reeser. Davis and Smith have tscn
leaders in a movement to have tn" in
dustry adopt untitled operations. in
which. thev declare, lies permane-,t
remedy for present evils Utilization
calls for cooperative development of an
area through a pooling of acreage, drill
ing costs and production.
Law Revision Urged.
A study Of the plan was made re-
Gently by Earl Oliver, chairman of the
American Institute of Mining Engineers,
with the assistance of more than 200
engineers and lawyers. Their collective
finding was that the root Of the oil in
dustry's troubles lies in the ancient
legal concept petroleum is akin to wild
game, becoming property only when re-
duced to possession.
AS the fundamental step to be taken
for stabilization, their report recon-
mended a revision of the law of oil and
gas to make impossible the "legalized
robber" that exists under the principle
that oil belongs to any one who can
produce 1t.

BANK CLEARINGS GAIN
FURTHER DURING WEEK
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, July 16.-Bank clear
ings are again slightly improved,
especially at number of the larger
cities outside of New York The total
this week, at all leading cities in the
United States. as reported to Dun's
Review, was $4,148,239 900 showing a
reduction Of 41.9 per cent from last
year. At New York City, clearings
were $2,7l6,473,000, loss of 443 per
cent, while the total for the cities out
side of New York of s1,431, ,766, 900 was
$50 per cent smaller.
At most of the larger eastern and
western centers bank clearings continue
to make quite as unfavorable COM
parison as heretofore, but at other
centers, notably those in the South
west, and South, the losses are smaller.
Clearings this week are s476,2 900
less than those of last week. while a
year ago. when the week was also for
six full days in the middle of July, the
decline was s453,762 900. For July to

STOCK INVESTMENT
PLAN CONSIDERED
Insurance Companies Re-
ported Considering Change
in Placing Funds.
Stock and
nS,,fdarH Dat
BY CHAS. p. SHAEFFER,
Associated Press Business Writer

The life insurance fraternity is said
to DE seeking wider investment field
Statements by leading companies and
by trade organizations within the busi-
ness indicate that the recent changes
in their investment portfolios prompt
this trend if the companies are to con-
tinue on the same rates basis as they
have during the last 10 years.
For instance. it is pointed out these
companies are finding that farm mort
cages are not meeting their require
ments as well as they did and conse-
quently have reduced their holdings of
this security considerably. and that if
they accumulate large quantities OF
high-grade public utility or other bonds
during the next decade. they are not
likely to obtain large enough yield
to warrant continued present rates for
services
The life insurance fraternity is re-
ported to be considering invading the
field of common stocks with a part of
their investment funds. The sugges-
tion has been made to the American
Economic Association that they be per-
mitted to invest in common stocks. to
limit of 25 per cent of the companies
tOtdI investments. Also, II was SuR-
gested that not more than per cent
OF the amount so invested be placed
in the security of any one corporation,
nor such investment constitute more
than 2 per cent of the outstanding
stock of that corporation
These investments, under the sug-
gestion, would be restricted to corpora
tions organized under United States
laws or of one of the States and listed
on major exchange. The corpora
ton would have at least $4,000, 900
total capital, whose net earnings would
have averaged more than twice all
fixed charges for seven years prior to
investment.
1t was suggested further that life
insurance companies might be required
to carry all investments in common
stocks at rs per cent of their cost,
amortized to 100 per cent of cost grad
ually each year over a 10-year period.
This, 1t was said would dissuade COM
panles with an inadequate surplus from
considering common stocks, would in
duce investment for yield and long
term results rather than for trading
profits. and would provide an immediate
cushion Of 25 per cent against a de-
cline in values

SECURITY MARKETS
IN F|RMER TREND
Banking interests Encour-
aged by Recent Stability
in Prices.
BY FRANK III. MCCONNELL.
Associated Press Financial Writer

NEW YORK, July l6.-Some of Wall
Streets leading bankers. who for
months have closely watched the Sc
curlty markets for some indication that
finally they would be able to cope with
the steady drift Of selling without Sc
we're price declines, are now finding
grounds for encouragement.
In the past seven weeks both the
stock and the bond markets have shown
highly agreeable state of stability. In
this period there has been steady liqui-
dation, but for the first time this year
for sustained period the markets have
apparently furnished enough buyers to
keep abreast Of the selling.
Price Changes Narrow.
Since June /, when both the bond
and stock markets reached their low
points, price fluctuations have been
confined to an unusually narrow range.
The bond market averages have fiuctu-
ated in range Of Az per cent and the
stock market averages in range Of
6'a per cent.
On i've occasions since June l stocks
have given way to a point which threat
ened to break through their bear mar
ket low prices, but in each case the
market rallied.
During this period the Nations
banks and brokerage houses have liqui-
dated many millions of stocks and
bonds. But willing buyers have ap-
peared to take their offerings.
On June / all member banks Of the
Federal Reserve System which tender
reports TO the Federal Reserve Board
had aggregate loans of s4907 900 900
against securities. Last July this fig
ure stood at S4632 900 900, a decline Of
S275 900 900.
Bank investments in securities other
than Government bonds stood at So
353.000000 on June l. They totaled
s3,206000 900 on July 8, shrinkage
of $147000. 900.
In the same period the total Of
brokerage loans Of New York City
banks. representing credit accommoda-
ton received by brokers against stocks
and bonds as collateral, declined from
S409 900 900 to a new low record of
1888 900 900, shrinkage Of $4,000, 900.
Selling Well Absorbed.
The total decrease IN loans on Sc
curities and in bank investments during
the period was s498 100000.
The ability Of the markets to absorb
this selling with only minor price fuc-
tuations has attracted favorable atten-
the day when they might see striking
Of balance between buying and SELL
ing. if only for time.
Stable security markets particularly
Of bonds, these bankers assert. would
contribute greatly TO robust and
healthful business sentiment
