was a role the actor in him would relish. T won't, though" Jo told herself. T won't go to him"
 But suppose she had to go to him? There was barely time now to find him and reach the airport. F'rantically Jo reviewed the slender possibilities. Fragonet and Boleson and why not Boleson, after all? He had been kind and he had offered to help her. Swallowing her pride, Jo rushed up the stairway. calling to her landlady to order a cab. Jo was pacing at the curb when the taxi rolled alongside.
 "To the Atlas studio, quickly The driver tossed the bags into the seat beside him, nodded his head and urged the scared taxi into the traffic. Within a very few minutes Jo saw the wide white arch of the Atlas lot, the gates standing open.
 Don't stop" she spoke into the tube. Drive right through to the administration building"
 The driver half turned his head, questionly.
 Drive right through" Jo re- peated. "It'll be all right"
 The driver nodded dubiously, but straight for the roadway into the increased his speed and headed forbidden Atlas lot. The gateman poked out his head angrily, jerked 1t back again as the taxi whizZed by.
 Stay right here," Jo ordered when the taxi pulled up in front of the low white building. "If any, one orders you out, tell themyoure waiting for MT. Boleson."
 
 Jo rushed straight through the room, where she encountered the hallway and into the familiar ante brisk young woman who was Bole- sons secretary.
 I'm Miss Darien," Jo told her breathlessly. T must see MT. Bole- son right away"
 But I'm afraid you'll have to have an appointment-"
 twill you tell him I'm here?" asked Jo, stepping forward. "Or shall I just go right in?"
 "I'll-I'll tell him you're here." the girl said.
 She reappeared almost at once and nodded half-fearfully at Jo.
 Boleson was smiling quizzically Hell see you, Miss Darien." when Jo entered the room. Good morning, Miss Darien! Something I can do?"
 "Yes, there is. You-you hinted once that it would be worth some- thing to you to keep me away from Fragenot." -.
 Boleson raised his eyebrows. T see," he said slowly, ironically. You've been thinking 1t over and decided to-cash in, eh?" He sat down abruptly. How much?"
 "I want just $50, MT. Boleson. And only as a loan"
 His. look was one of startled in- credulity. And then he threw back his head and laughed.
 Please, MT Boleson-Im In a terrible hurry. I have to catch a plane at noon."
 Still laughing, Boleson reached into his pocket and extracted a $50 bill from his wallet. There you are-and forget the loan idea. It's worth $50 any day to run across 8 kid like you. hope you come out on top."
 "T-thanks, MT. Boleson. But I'll pay it back" Jo turned and bolted through the doorway, past the startled secretary. To her great re- lief, the taxi driver had not only stood by valiantly, but had pos- sessed the presence of mind to turn the cab around toward the gate. He had the car in motion almost before 10 sank into the seat.

Acacia Head Hopeful

"Whether because Of the New

on how we look at, the forces
of recovery have asserted them
selves vigorously during the past

situation in the United States

Of the past year, also citing the

PUBLIC BUYING
FOR HOMES

Spurred on by the upward
market" of 1885, the Kelvinator
Corporation Of Detroit is looking
forward to 1886 as one of the best
years it has enjoyed.
George w. Mason, president Of
the organization, comments as
follows:
present indications point to
one of the greatest consumer
demand markets this country
has ever known for 1885. In
creased employment, larger pay
rolls and a growing confidence
are permitting people to spend
money they now have for
things which they have been
without for the past few years.
Throughout the country the
public is spending money, and
will continue to do so during
the year, for cOnveniences for
the home. Chief among these
purchases are major electric ap-
pliances. This growing public
demand for such products un-
dOubtedly will produce the big.

REPORTED

Bigger and better pictures for
bigger audiences in 1886 was
promised today by local theater
heads as they agreed 1885 had
been an excellent year.
An increase Of more than 10
per cent was noted at RKO

revealed. In 1884 the total at
tendance was around 100000
and this year the increase will
be at least 10000.
John Payette, manager Of the
Warner Brothers theaters here,
said these will show an increase
of approximately IS per cent over
1884, and he expects 1896 to be
"a banner year" with bigger audi
enceS. bigger pictures.
Carter Barron, manager Of the
Eastern division of Loew's thea
ters, joined in predicting that
1895 will be a tremendously i'm
portant year, both in point of
increased business and a new peak
in production perfection"
While 1885 brought some of the
most excellent pictures ever pro-
duced, new heights will be reached
next year, he believes, with a re-
suit that there will be an even
more marked increase in business

riOd which will exceed in &C
cOmplishments and progress the
year which has Just closed"
Mr.. Montgomery said further
"The life insurance cOmpa-
nies have given a good account
Of themselves during the year.
They have paid for 14,5OO mil
lion dollars of new insurance,
bringing the insurance in force
to about 101,O0O millions on
half the population of our land.
The companies paid out 1900
millions to pOlicyhOIders and
their beneficiarieS, while at the
same time their assets increased
1,400 millions, bringing the as
sets Of the legal reserve insur-
ance companies up to the stag
gering total of 23,20O millions.
The record achieved by the
Acacia Mutual Life Insurance
Company shows that it did its
part well in this splendid
achievement. Its assets in
creased to more than so mil
lions, and the total insurance in
force to more than 352 millions,
giving added factual weight to
the conviction that 1888 brought
substantial betterment. All
parts Of the country were rep
resented in the improvement"

LEVELS
BEST SINCE '28

NEW YORK, Dec. 81 UN.S0.
With demand for investment issues
fired by cheap money and wide
spread business improvement, bond
values during 1888 scared to the
highest levels since 1928 and new
offerings jumped to a five-year
peak.
The year 1885 will perhaps be
best remembered. however, as the
turning point for new corporate
and municipal financing. Total
offerings Of roundly $4,000, 900, 900
were the best since 1880, when
$5,170,934,915 issues Of all types
were placed on the market. OF
this years aggregate more than
a third consisted Of State and
municipal financing.
Retirement Of all outstanding
Liberty bonds, the last Of which
was 81, ,S70, ,000, 900 Of fourth ANS,

Recovery Forces at Work
There also were unmistakable
signs that the forces Of recovery
in business were at work,
In the security markets, there
were four other factors at work.
First and most important, the
pressure Of idle funds, seeking in
vestment. The bond market first
felt this, then the preferred stocks
and finally the common stocks.
This type of buying was largely
for cash and greatly reduced the
floating supplies of stock. Second,
there was the unSettlement in
Europe. These plus a general be-
lief abroad that the American dol.
lar was too cheap in relation to
other currencies, sent a great
wave of foreign capital into this
country for investment.
The third factor was the higher
margins required for stock pur-
chases, as a result Of the securities
and exchange act. This put the
market in a better technical posi-
ton and less subject to margin
selling in times Of stress and cor.
rection.
And lastly, there was the tax
situation, which made the larger
holders of securities reluctant to
sell and take their profits because
Of the big rake-off Uncle Sam in

BY LESLIE GOULD

NEW YORK, Dec. 81 G.N.SJ
For the stock market, 1895 has
been a bull year-the really first
one since the 1929 panic. The gen
eral level Of prices has been lifted
so per cent, while long list Of
individual issues have doubled and
trebled in value.
The volume Of trading has been
the heaviest in years, which means
profits for the Wall Street broker
age houses.
The market started the year off
heSitant and irregularly lower, but
it winds up with a firm undertone
and general confidence of even
higher prices next year.
The advance of 1885 rounds out
the third phase Of the recovery
from the depths to which the 1929
panic plunged the nation. In 1882,
the market established its bear low
and started to climb back.
The first phase ended in the
banking crisis.
Trade Narrow Till March
The second phase was the exu-
berant recovery after the banking
holiday. This speculative outburst
came to grief in the summer of
1888. After that the market
slipped into a trading rut, from
which it was not shaken until
March of this year.
This narrow trading reflected
the doubts and fears which were
not dissipated to any degree until

SALE OF AUTOS
UP FOR 1895

Shattering all records for auto
mobile sales in the District for
the first II months of 1885, an
increase of 46.1 per cent over the
entire year Of 1884 was recorded
by local automobile dealers.
Delighted with this showing as
further evidence Of recovery here,
statisticians pointed out that the
1884 sales were in turn 2s.3 per
cent higher than in 1888.
In 1885 q new car was pur.
chased by one out of every four
and eighth-tenths families in the
District. In the first II months
there were 26,936 new passenger
cars sold, as compared with 1S,434
for the entire year Of 1884.
This means that there were
$500 more new cars sold in II
months Of this year than in the
entire 12-month period last year.
