Hu would respond to Smith"
A than any other family
name. They'd outnumber
the prolific Browns and Williamses
by about two to one and the only
slightly less prolific Joneses and
Johnsons by about three to one.
Now, since Smith is such very
common name, 1t naturally follows
that one who bears 1t has to be con-
siderably above the average to lend
distinction to 1t and to be outstand-
ing among his fellowmen. The
fact Is that there have been plenty
OF just such men. as witness the
fact that one standard encyclopoe-
dia of American biography contains
the names Of no less than 2O2
Smiths who have been famous
enough to be included in Its list OF
notables and another contains $50
such names.
From the earliest days Of Ameri-
can history the Smiths have played
an important part In making that
history. For 1t was the doughty
Capt. John Smith, an English adj
venturer, who led the little band
OF colonists to the shores OF Vir-
glnia In 1907 and at jamestown
founded the first permanent Eng
lish settlement In America, settle
ment destined to grow into a colony
that was to give new nation Its
first President.
Although we think Of Smith pri.
marlly as soldier, the fact is that
among his books was treatise on
seamanship that Is model OF Its
kind. That was "A Sea-mans
Grammar, or. An Accidence, The
Pathway to Experience necessary
for all young seaman. or those that
desire to go to Sea-" published In
1926. II was not only the first
printed book on seamanship. naval
gunnery and nautical terms pub
lished In England but 1t has also
served as the backbone OF prac-
tlcally every book on seamanship
published In the last 800 years.
Just as Smith was the founder
and ruler of the first permanent
English settlement In America, so
1t Is appropriate that Smith
should be one of the SO immortals
who signed the Declaration OF In
dependence and thus become one Of
the Fathers OF the Republic" He
was James Smith, born In Ireland
about 1920, then an emigrant to
Pennsylvania where he grew up to
become a leader In the agitation
for freedom from British rule. He
wrote an essay ION the Constitu-
tional Power of Great Britain Over
the Colonies In America" which Is
said to have given 1.-THE first strong

DOUBLED
FOR BONDS

NEW YORK, Aug. 21.-The New
York Stock Exchange has COM
pleted a rearrangement Of its trad
ing floor facilities to increase the
space available for trading In
United States Government bonds.
The changes have taken four
weeks to complete, having been
undertaken during week-ends to
avoid interruption Of trading.
In order to make room for the
expansion, Post 80, where "inac-
tive" stocks are traded in, has been
moved from the corner of the bond
room to the northeast wall of the
building at II Wall Street. The
space available for trading in
Government issues has been
doubled, approximately, by the
change.
The bond market of the eX-
change is housed in the 20 Broad
street building OF Cne exchange,
which connects directly with the
main trading floor. There are
1,574 bond issues listed, of which
80 are United States Government
loans.
In making the changes the ex-
change recognized the nicknameS
by which issues of the Govern
ment have long been known to
traders.
A list of the official names and
the corresponding nicknames fol
lows: Treasury 4HS of 1947-52,
MELONS; As of 1944-54, Coolidges;
3AS of 1941 Woodins, and 3As of
1943-45, Converts. There are also
FirStS, Called, Uncalled, Junes,
Marches, Old IS, New IS and
Refers. Bonds of the Home
Owners Loan Corporation are
called Hokeys and the issues of
the Federal Farm Mortgage Cor
poration are known as Feds.

CALF ORN|A OIL
OUTPUT DIPS

California crude oil production
followed an erratic course during
the week ended August 18, with
a total daily average for the period
estimated at 5O8,4OO barrels. This
compares with 513,700 barrels
However, official figures revealed
total daily output as of August
16 of $4,000 barrels and 506,000
for the previous day.
With such a disparity in daily
output and no particular reason
to account for it save the erratic
day-to-day conduct of certain Of
the unlisted fields the estimate
for the week is considered con-
ServatiVe. A year ago the state
averaged sos, ATS barrels.
Los Angeles basin totaled 217,-
200 barrels for the week, an in
crease of $500 daily. MidWay-Mari-
copa. off 2,10O barrels and the un-
listed fields down 1000 were the
only important changes.

BUILDING COSTS
SEEN TOO HIGH

Home building costs must be
permitted to find their own level
at this time if the huge new fed
orally sponsored movement for
home modernization and re-hous-
ing is to succeed in it's objectiveS,
the National Association Of Real
Estate Boards states in kilograms
to President Roosevelt and Gen
eral Johnson.
The association through its 10,-
600 members asks that home
building be given a code separate
from the present general construc-
ton code, thus permitting it to
take advantage of its own inner
ent conditions favorable for i'm
mediate advance under the new
national housing act. The asso-
citation states:
eve are enthusiastically be-
hind the Government housing
program, but we believe it can
be successful only if costs are
permitted to find their own
level in accordance with cOndi-
tiOns in each community"
Early action has been assured on
the separate code for home build
ing filed by the association and
now on General Johnson's desk.
Pending decision on the separate
code, home building has been tenn
porarily exempted from the gen.
eral construction code except for
hour and wage provisions.

HOLDINGS
NET PREMIUM
FOR RFC

The Reconstruction Corpora
ton yesterday tested and found
successful a method Of keeping
the Public Works Administration
supplied with funds for employ
ment-spreading loans.
1t offered for public sale a
$3.50, ,370 block of State, county,
municipal and railroad bonds pre-
viouSly purchased by the PWA
and received bids ranging as high
as $40 above their par value of
$1,000. The premium represents
a margin of profit for the
Government.
All PWA loans to States,
municipalities and railroads con-
siSt of outright purchases of 4
per cent bonds at par. Between
the PWA and the RFC par is
also the basis of the transactions.
PWA'S funds available for
loans to States, cities and rail-
roads have been virtually allotted.
Last winter Congress authorized
the RFC to lend the Public
Works Administration maximum
of $250,000,000 on the bonds held
by the latter.
BY selling the securities as
PWA needs more money, the RFC
can keep within that limitation
and still provide additional funds,
with the sums in effect coming
from the regular money markets.
Resale of the bonds received in
exchange for PWA advances was
contemplated and authorized by
the national recovery act, off.
clalS emphasized today, and if
continued would tend to make a
revolving fund of the original
appropriations.
The law provides, however, that
II such resale occurs, the money
must revert to the Treasury. BY
selling through the RFC. the
sums obtained can be loaned and
reloaned, although they may not
be used for outright grants.
Officials said yesterdays offer
ing consisted of bonds selected
at random and with no effort to
pick out those of the sounder
municipalities and roads.
