Stock Exchange
Considers Cut
In Membership
By the Associated Press.

oy the Associated IIeSS.
NEW YORK, March 1.-The 1875
members of the New York Stock
Exchange were asked today whether
they didn't think they were just a
few too many, and what would they
like to do about it.
1t has been exactly 10 years now
that the membership roster has
stood at the present size, and pro-
ponents of reduction say there Is
not enough business in Wall Street
to spread sufficiently thickly over
1875 members representing $50
brokerage houses.
Edward E. Bartlett, jr., chairman
of the Exchange Board, sent the
members questionnaire asking
suggestions concerning reduction.
Many leaders in "the street" say
they would like to see the member
ship reduced to LOO at which it
stood for so years-from 1879 to 1929.
It was in 1879, under the influence
of bull market, that the exchange
increased the number of member
ships by 40. The same condition in
February, 1929, caused the next en-
largement.
Mr.. Bartlett suggested reduction
might be made by the. gradual re-
tirement of memberships through
pro rata contributions by other
members or by the compulsory &C
QUESTION by other members of frac-
tions of seats as such seats were
vacated.
In 1929, the record price of $625 900
was paid for one membership while
there were still 1,100 seats; today the
average is about $4,000.

American Incomes Exceed
Year Ago in January
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Commerce Department said
the income of Americans in Janu-
ary was far above the same month
last year.
The department estimated wages,
dividends, rents and other income
payments totaled s5,532 900, 900 last
month, or $4,000 900 more than in
January, 1888. The increase, how
ever, was said to be even larger be-
cause the cost of living now is about
3 per cent lower than year ago.
January income, however, was
slightly below December, due to
slightly more than seasonal decline
in industrial production.
Although wage payments, esti-
mated at $3,592 ,000, 900 in January,
also declined slightly from December,
the department said they were
higher than for any January since
1880.

 DRAMA SEARS
Capitol Theatre Featuring .' King of inc News
 boys" Tonight

How an ambitious youth rises above his environment in the slums of New York to eventually control the distribution of all metropolitan newspapers is the basis of Repub- lies intriguing King of Newsboys, ''
 which thrilled audiences at the Capitol Theatre last night.
 With Lew Ayres in one of his most impressive roles as Jerry, the care-free boy who is spurred to success by the love of Mary Ellen
 Helen Mack), the fast moving pie ture proves to be something utterly different in the way of boy-wins- girl films.
 After a rather nondescript ex- istence, including street fights and run-ins with police, Jerry settles down to the serious task of earn ing an honest livelihood as a paper boy. His sales become so enormous that he hires other boys to work under him. A successful news paper distributing agency eventu- ally materializes and Jerry finds himself growing wealthy and in fluential.
 A rival, Wire Arnold, who oper- ates race sheet syndicate, comes between Jerry and Mary Ellen breaking up the romance. Jerry, disappointed, turns toward a so- ciety debutante, and his new life in the fashionable whirl coupled with neglect of his business, changes him completely.
 Seeking revenge on Arnold, Jerry instigates a rival dope-sheet in an effort to run him out of business. This attempt also fails. Broken and Jerry is about ready to give up everything, but a swift culmination of events finally turns the tide. Mary Ellen, realizing her returns to him. Wire Ar hold is defeated by his own ruth less plans to ruin Jerry.
 Included in the well-rounded cast are such screen luminaries as Ali son Skipworth, Victor Varconi, Will liam Benedict, Gloria Rich, and many others.

A riotous comedy with music = and Carole Lombard and Fernand Gravet-is Fools For Scandal" the Ccliseum's newest offering which was served up to well-pleased au- dience lagt night.
 AS if gorgeous Miss Lombard, she of the mad antics, were not enough the picture should really teach the femme fans how to say -~ar-nand Gra-vay, (it's Gra- vet in the billing). The handsome French musical comedy star, mak- ing his second American appearance
 -the first was in The King and the Chorus Girl"-surprises his most ardent fans with a song rou- tine that's we'll worth the price of admission alone.
 The story itself is a WOW. Miss Lombard is an American movie star in Europe to see the sights and then things happen.

WHAT'S WHAT ABOUT
SOCIAL SECURITY

Claims for old age insurance
benefits, amounting to $20,925.82,
were certified for payment to 1927
residents of Maryland during the
month of November The average
lump-sum payment was 5000,
v hich means of course, that some
of the payments exceeded that
amount and some were less.
Approximately 30 persons liv-
ing in the Hagerstown service
area, which includes Carroll, Fred
erick and Washington counties,
received Old-age insurance pay
ments during November. Some of
the recipients were the heirs of
deceased workers, who, within
the past two years, held jobs COW
cred under the Old-age insurance
provisions of the Social Security
Act. Others were workers who,
at some time since 1886, have
been employed in jobs that come
under the act and who have
reached the age of SIS in recent
months.
In this State 4,141 claims, to-
falling $175,475.95, have been GER
titled for payment, since January

got elected by telling stories. Now
they are called shorter and

If he calls only once, he may
wish to give you something. If
he calls you three times, he has
something to sell you
When future historians see the
kind of paint daubs we called
art. they probably won't be as
tonished at anything else we did
Still, an inland Congressman
cares as much about battleships
as tidewater Congressman
cares about saving the drought
