THOSE MARX BROTHERS TICK OFF NEW HIGH"
 ON COMEDY TAPE

Buttons anchored to home-ports with anything less than the best grade of brass rivets or steel cable will have delicate tenure of off, ice, Friday, June 16 at the Dream Theatre where the Four Famous and Furiously Funny Marx Bro- thers will do, in Animal Crack ers,'' something fifty million rib racked lovers of comedy believed i'm possible. They've made talk ling and musical picture that takes up where "The Cocoanuts" left oil, land ends with the last survivor being carried up the aisle by force, three strong ushers, and we'll who is your favorite escort to the "booby hatch?"
 The story is something about a stately and socially proper hostess, with a house-party on her hands at Ia pahatial country estate. A big game hunter. just back from an African expedition, his secretary, and two vagabond musicians, en- gagged to attend to the musical ap- petite of the guests, is the business assigned Groucho, Zeppo, Harpo and Chico Marx. respectively. They arrive simultaneously and with their usual hurricane momen- itum at a time when the festive gathering is being diverted by a butler weighing just fraction less than half ton, a -feud between the hostess and rival matron over Ithe authenticity of fine paint ing and more pretty girls in ling. erie in bathing suits than most revues boast You understand what we mean by pretty, when we say Lillian Roth heads the femin, inc talent.
 This is the premise, or the premises, upon which the riot is fashioned-and the developments dwarf superlatives that Webster in tended for even the most hilarious narratives.
 The making of the stage version into photoplay dynamite was en- trusted to the direction of Victor Heerman, contributed in no small way to the general happy results.
 In addition to the Marx Brothers and Miss Roth the cast presents Margaret Dumont, Louis Sorin, Hal Thompson, Margaret Irving, 6athryn tReece. Richard Greig, Edward Metcalf and The Music Masters.
 Oh-yes, fans who got such big series of moments" from the antics of Harpo and Chico with harp, oboe and piano in their first plec, need experience no temerity in approaching the new animal ish' crackerjack Musical burles- que has big play, and the talents and tunes are as refreshing and dfverting as before, along new lines.

The present dividend rate on General

Directors meet for dividend action on

BREAK CALLS HALT
TO WILD TRADING
More Moderate Speculative
Activity Regarded as
: Good Result.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

NEW YORK, July 26.-The inclina-
tion in trading circles is to look upon
Tuesdays reaction in the stock market
as the setback which normally appears
after the recovery from violent de-
cline. The rule is that stock bought for
support purposes comes back on the
market when 1t can be liQuidated at a
profit. Probably that is what happened.
1t also Is true, however, that the eX.
treme fluctuations Of the last week have
unsettled confidence and effectually dis
sipated expectation of continuously
rising prices. If the result is to moderate
speculative activity, much has been
gained, for not only was the market
running wild before last weeks correc-
ton, but its action was inviting Govern
ment interference. than which nothing
could be more distasteful to Wall Street.
As matter of fact, Tuesdays decline
was not in itself disturbing. There was
no rush to liquidate and no increase in
volume on the reaction. Except for the
wet" stocks, there were no large de-
clines, and any trader who has the
temerity to operate in that group de-
serves no sympathy.
Rail Bonds Attractive.
Whatever may happen to the dollar
and whatever may be the immediate
tinue indefinitely where the fixed charge
obligations of corporations in an i'm
proving financial position sell to yield
far above the cost Of the money it takes
to buy them That is the status of the
bond market today 1t Is particularly
true Of the speculative railroad bonds,
on which income returns ranging any
where from and Z to 10 per cent can
be had at time when the earnings and
car loadings of the carriers concerned
are steadily increasing.
Call money is officially pegged at
per cent and brokers charge anywhere
from 3la to Az per cent on debit bal
ances Bonds bought with money bor-
rowed on such terms, if held long
enough, will give profit to the buyer
even though the market price does no
more than hold 1t does not seem
reasonable to expect that price to de-
cline much so long as the trend OF
railroad earnings is upward.
No such condition exists with regard
to railroad stocks. Few of them still
are on the dividend-paying list and few
still sell to give an attractive invest
ment return. The rise in the non-divi-
dend payers may or may not be justi-
fed on speculative grounds. 1t cannot
be defended as an investment PROPOSE
ton.
Earnings Highly Favorable.
The two most important earning

close of business and the market re-
sponse to them. if any. will have to

Rifles Upheld AS
Safe Hunting Arm

Washington, d. C.-Agitation that
is saving its annual fling in several
of the large hunting states to Danish
the rifle, which would force all hunt
ers to use the shotgun, has found
strenuous opposition from C. B. Lis
ter, secretary-treasurer of the Ma
tional Rifle Association, representing
upwards of 100000 shooters of the
country.
The solution of the problem of re-
ducing hunting accidents, Mr.. Lister
holds, does not lie in outlawing the
rifle or any weapon commonly used
in hunting; it lies solely in legisla-
tion which twill keep out of the
game fields those thousands of city
sportsmen who are totally unfamiliar
with the elementary principles of the
safe handling of firearms"
Laws that would force the un-
skilled one-a-year hunters ito use
the deadly shotgun -buckshot combina-
tion would serve only to greatly in
crease the probability of their doing
damage to themselves and to others,
the rifle association official main
tains, basing his opinion on many
years of intimate association with
all types of firearms.
Mr.. Lister also stresses the fact
that the chances of being hit by a
rifle bullet at hunting ranges are
immensely less than the probability
of being struck and wounded by the
scattering buckshot from shotgun
To further support his stand
against any move that would ban the
rifle from the game fields, Mr.. Lister
points out that the official accident
figures for one year in Pennsylvania
which is one of the most extensive
hunting states in the country, show
that out of total Of 439 mishaps
~ of them fatal, and 367 non-fatal
20 per cent were caused by rifles, n
per cent by shotguns and three per
lcent by drowning. Twenty-Five OF
the 72 fatalities were caused by rifles
and "A by shotguns, and 30 OF the
death wounds were self-inflicted.

Ohio Farm Volume
Remains Unchanged
Decreases in Spring Acreages Are
Offset by Heavy Wheat Seeding


Although farmers in the United
States intend to plant nine million
fewer acres to crops this season,
Ohio farmers are expecting to do
business on about the same old vol
ume.
Nine million acres is three per cent
of the total area in crops in the
country, according to c. r. Arnold,
agricultural economist for the Ohio
Agricultural Extension Service.
fcreages to be planted to the most
important crops this spring, in Ohio,
he says, are reported decreased, but
these decreases are largely offset by
rthe. 15 per cent increase in winter
wheat seeded last fall.
Ohio farmers have told the United
States crop reporting board they in
tend to plant three per cent less corn
seven per cent less oats, 20 per cent
less barley, four per cent fewer po-
tatoes, three per cent less tobacco
and 20 per cent more soybeans.
Southern farmers expect to plant
more tobacco this year, and if they
carry out their intentions, 22 per cent
more tobacco will be grown this year
than last.
