IMPROVEMENT SEEN
IN PUBLIC SPENDING
Rising Employment, Pay
Rolls Restore Confidence.
Times Special

Times Special
NEW YORK, April 11.-Rising
employment and pay rolls in the
last three years have substantially
repaired the spending public's con-
f1dence and looSened up its purse
strings, a survey of current changes
in spending habits released today by
the Standard Statistics Co.
A sharp contraction in personal
expenditures was noted during the
depression; even those factory, store
and Office workers who were still
employed, farmers who were max
ing money, and individuals whose
incomes had not ceased were ap-
prehensive of the future, and in
clined to hold on to what they had.
With the trend of income now
reversed, and rising pay rolls, farm
revenues and security prices and a
munificent government, providing
additional cash income, greater con-
fdence has inspired more liberal
spending policies Most conspicu-
Gus has been the reversal of the
trend away from high-priced cars
and toward those in the lowest price
grouping.
In 1884 about IS per cent. of all
automobiles sold carried a whole
sale price of $500 or less-corre-
spending to retail price of about
s700. In 1885 the proportion in the
lowest-price class was reduced to
about So per cent and further
moderate extension of the trend has
been noted so far this year.

1O-YEAR OPTION
FILED WITH SEC
Unknown Person Has Right
to Buy Gen. American
Security Shares.
By United Press

By United Press
WASHINGTON, April ia 10
year option granted to an unknown
person to buy up to 1000 shares of
the common stock of General Amer
lean Securities Corp. is listed on the
company's registration statement
with the Securities and Exchange
Commission today.
The option provided that, from
Sept. 8, 1888, the company might
sell up to 1000 shares at $25 each
for five years from that date and at
SIS additional for each share for
each year or fraction subsequent to
that date until the period is up.
The statement has been on file with
the SEC since September, 1885.
The corporation is a subholding
company of the General American
Life Insurance Co. of st. Louis. 1t
was organized shortly after the in
surance company went into bank
ruptcy and was taken over by the
State of Missouri, later to be &C
quired by the Equity Corp, New
York investment trust.
The investment trust sent Walter
W. Head, former president of the
American Bankers Association, to
run the insurance company. The
equity, it was said by SEC officials,
has only recently started to pay
dividends and suit has been insti-
tuted to prevent such payment.
