thing"
She Dresses Up"
After a little persuasion she con-
sented, however, but insisted on
changing her attire. Her home has
only three rooms, two of which are
bedrooms and the third a kitchen.
She ushered her guests into one
bedroom and went into the other
to get dressed up"
you know it's a shame" she
called out from the other room,
for me to change clothes without
even taking bath, but you fell
lows must be in a hurry"
TITS a good thing you didn't
come yesterday" she continued,
because I was sick-siclk on beer,
and I wouldn't see nobody"
Hand me my blue slippers"
she called to a white girl who hap
pened to be in the house.
Stockings Omitted
The slippers were passed to Mrs.
Mckinney, and without stockings
she bounced into the room to an
nounce that she was ready to
"break the camera
Have you picture of Margie ?"
she was asked. YES she replied,
''but don't keep it because it is the
only one that 1 have" She was
taking the picture of her daughter
out of a suitcase when she was
asked for a picture of Williams.
"That son-of- a-Gun"
Her slight form stiffened and in
a colorless kind of metallic tone
she said, 81 have no picture of him
and if he ever puts his foot over
this doorsill I'm going to kill that
son-of-a-gun. The bag which she
had opened contained a gun, and
she fingered it silently, but did not
remove it from a place among Sc
veral what appeared to be dresses.
One could get mental picture
of medium-height, well-built Will
liams stepping over the doorsill
with his best brownslxin smile, and
meeting death at the hands of this
woman, who says that he was her
tenant, but admits that he beat her
frequently and she never COM
planned to the authorities.
Picture Taken
She had her picture taken amid
the fumes of the dump, a few vim
es that struggled for a foothold in
the rocky soil of her yard, and in
one of her many chairs, in COM
pany with a girl companion, who
says that she was raised by Mrs.
Mckinney.
Mrs. Mckinney offered her in
reviewers the hospitality of her
house, which they declined, and
mentioned in passing that she was
only thirty-two.
"a Look oId'
II know 1 look DID," she said in
a tone that indicated she did not
really mean what she was saying,
but it's because 1 have so much
worry"
ITO think" she said, IT raised
that girl CMargie Mae), to keep
her from doing bad things, and
sent her to school, and now she's

she concluded as her visitors left,

cars for certain countries, but in
many Of them vehicles Of certain
colors are demanded, while other
shades of finish are strictly taboo.
The American motor car industry
never has been able to push its
export business up to the 1000 900
unit-a-year mark. The nearest 1t
ever came to that figure was in 1929,
when foreign sales of American-made
motor vehicles totaled 997, I'LL units.
The industry had been striving to
reach the million-car mark ever since
1t began shipping cars abroad and
but for the collapse of world markets
in 1929 1t stood in fair way to reach
that objective.
With the reverse trend in motor car
demand that began late in 1929,
however, export managers of the in
dustry in the United States have
agreed that the hoped-for volume
of overseas sales still is far in the
future. They attribute this in no
small degree to the raising of tariff
barriers that followed the collapse
of world markets close upon the
biggest years world output in the
automobile industry's history, in 1929.
The hoisting of tariff rates in vir-
tually every foreign country had the
effect Of forcing the American motor
car industry to provide production
facilities within the countries con-
cerned and not only use materials
produced there, but also, in so far as
possible, confine employment to natives
of those countries.

BIG FIRMS MOVE
TO CUT SURPRISES
Talk of Special U. S. Taxes
Believed Factor in Re-
ducing Fad.
BY CLAUDE A. JAEGER.
Associated Press Financial Editor.

NEW YORK, September 1870
many corporations have taken steps
to reduce fat cash surpluses lately
that some quarters in Wall Street
think they smell rat.
A number of well-heeled corpora
tions have taken steps to retire senior
securities with cash, or have paid out
special cash dividends from surplus.
Wall Street thinks Washington talk
of levying special taxes on corporate
surpluses may be a factor in this,
reducing fad. The piling up Of huge
cash reserves in corporate treasures
has been criticized from time to time,
| on the theory that failure to pay out
corporate earnings tends to dam up
the exchange Of goods and services.
Many Challenge Theory.
Many economists and financial ex-
perts vigorously challenge this theory,
maintaining that corporate cash sur
pluseS are used to buy United States
Government bonds and thus help to
| finance the Government relief and
recovery program, or they are kept as
deposits in banks, providing a basis
for bank investments.
1t is pointed out, also, that there
are other reasons why corporations
may be cutting down their cash
boards. Some have specifically stated
in ordering payment of dividends from
surplus that they were doing so to
promote recovery. Also, presumably,
number Of corporate arrangements,
seeing recovery on the way and earn
ings increasing, decided that it was
now safe to get along with smaller
reserves. But there is little doubt in
the minds of usually well-informed
quarters in the financial district that
the threat Of special taxation on "un-
used surpluses has received plenty Of
attention.
Among companies using cash to re-
tire senior securities is, for example,
Humble Oil & Refining Co., paying
off Sl8,950,000 of 5 per cent deben-
lures on october l, its entire funded
debt, although they do not mature
until 1887, and Chrysler Corp. yes
terday called 100000 of the 6 per
cent Dodge Bros. debentures for re-
demption November /.
Continental Can Acts.
Continental Can Co. has proposed
to stockholders a bookkeeping oper-
alton to shift substantial sums from
It's capital surplus and earned surplus
to capital account Stockholders will
be asked on October Is to approve a
so per cent stock dividend, which will
add Sl7,767, $40 to the par value of
its outstanding stock. This will be
used to capitalize s12000,O00 to be
transferred from earned surplus and
s5,767,940 from capital surplus to
capital account.
The fact that many large corpo-
rationS put by reserves in good times
has, OF course, been great boom in
the hard times. And often enough to
stockholders. American Telephone
q Telegraph Co. has managed to con-
tlnue disbursements to its some TOO
600 stockholders at the pre-depres-
sion rate of 50 year thus far.

collected some insurance. Rather than
living up this money he put 1t into
the oil business. He put himself into
the oil business with his money, giving
up all else-and made many millions
of dollars.
There are few Of US who are willing
to break loose from our present occupa-
ton to follow the enterprise OF our
money. But there Is one method where
by an investor can put his brains and
ability into an investment and that Is
through the purchase of royalties.
The oil industry has given the world
the greatest number OF individual for
tunes. The men who most frequently get
great personal fortunes are the owners
OF the land. The owner of land on which
oil Is found gets ONE EIGHTH Of all the
oil produced, free OF cost OF production.
In other words, Ia Y barrels ont Of every
100 produced is delivered to him without
cost; to do with as he sees fit. The
operator must pay all OF the cost Of find
ing and producing the oil out of his
share. The landowner owns his own enter
prise, without expense or overhead"
save taxes.
The investor who would profit by q
landowners good fortune buys q part
OF the landowners share. Ed Lukens,
investor, Is the owner Of the land ON
which the new Jeffries-Lukens Is lo-
Gated. This property five years ago was
worth perhaps $500. Today through a
quirk in his lease contract, Lukens'
earning is around SIXTY FIVE DOLLARS
A DAY, which is about twice as much as
he would normally be getting from his
regular IAN 20 royalty. But at that, in
what other enterprise can a man get
even THIRTY TWO DOLLARS A DAY
from an $500 property
We are getting out a little information
bulletin on the Lukens well There Is no
royalty for sale on it, but the facts re-
garding this Cut Bank town well make q
rather interesting narrative, we think,
and viii send it to any who requests it.
