All Four Police Courts
Meet on Second Floor

All four courts of Police Court
were held on the second floor of the
court building today when the roor-
on the third floor in which United
States cases have been tried was
turned over to District Court.
The United States cases coming
before Police Court are being tried
in the jury court room. Police Court
jury cases are being heard in the
jury assembly room.
Since the assembly room has no
cell block behind it, prisoners have
to be taken across the corridor from
the jury court room to appear in
jury cases.
The present arrangement. it was
said, will continue until the heavy
District Court docket is relieved.

great advances since Charles Good

accomplished by vulcanizing the in

One great advantage. he points
out, is that ears and noses can be
made to suit the patient and may
look much better than the orig
inals. They can be recast over
and over again until the person is
entirely satisfied with his appear

Little Nellie
Kelly Lifting
Musical Treat
At Milo Theatre Tuesday
And Wednesday, Jan. - s

Taking it's place as milestone
in the career of Judy Garland,
little Nellie Kelly" filmization of
the famous George M. Cohan must
cal comedy, opening at the Milo
Theatre for an engagement of two
days, presents the young star in
her first grown-up role.
The story revolves around the
life of little Irish girl who mar
ries against the wishes of her
father. The feud that ensues from
that moment between the father
and his son-in-law makes for
comedy as well as tears. When the
daughter dies, leaving an infant
girl to be cared for, the child finds
itself torn between love for her
father and her grandfather.
Through her efforts the two are
finally brought together. Miss
Garland appears both as the moth
er and as the thoroughly Ameri-
canized daughter.
The strong supporting cast is
headed by George Murphy in the
role Of the young Irish husband.
Murphy will be last remembered
for his work in 1.-TWO Girls on
Broadway" Charles Winninger is
cast as the grandfather, Douglas
McPhail as the romantic interest
in the latter half of the film, and
Arthur Shields, of the Abbey Play
ers, as McPhail's father.
Song numbers include "Pretty
Girl Milking Her Cow" "Singin'
In The Rain," "It's A Great Day
For The Irish," "Nellie Kelly, l
Love You" and "Nellie Is A OAR
lin" The film was directed by
Norman Taurog, produced by Ar
thur Freed.

will see very much higher prices
for certain stocks.
Consumer Lines Active
Severe initiation would hurt
shopkeepers; but 1941 will not see
such. Certainly, the 1941 total
volume of retail sales should ex-
coed anything which this couf-
try has ever seen. With indus
trial activity continuing to rise,
good merchandisers should pros
per. This will also help service
businesses and professional men.
All down the line almost everyone
should be in clover. Collections
should be exceptionally good, while
instalment sales will reach great
proportions. Main Street, from
the Atlantic to the Pacific, will be
wide open with music, lights, and
bill boards galore! The U. S.
will witness a shortage of only
two things parking space and
character.
Existing inventories should show
profits in themselves; while money
properly spent upon promotion
and advertising should pay hand
some dividends. Statesmen who
have been doing their missionary
work during the last past few
years should now cash in with the
biggest commission checks since
1929. Newspaper advertising, es-
pecially, should be upped at least
1870. Let me add here that the
recent political campaign and War
news have caused many con-
sumers to become so upset by the
radio, that they are now return
ing to their newspapers.
Conclusions
There really is only one thing
which troubles me about 1941. 1t
is that our prosperity may make
us less dependent upon God,
Whom we need now more than
ever. The material destruction
facing Europe and England-ter-
rible as it will be-may develop
there spiritual awakening OF
tremendous value. History shows
that the rebirth Of nations has
come through adversely, = never
through prosperity. Hence, we
must be on our guard that Amer
lea with its material wealth is not
left the most pagan of all nations.
Making life easy does not make
it better. Avoiding war does not
insure us against disaster. More
money does not mean more self
control. Automobiles, electric re-
frigerators, and radios will not
take the place of self-reliance,
self-denial, and the willingness to
cooperate for the common good.
We all know that the great need
of the entire world today is more
of the Christlike spirit,-of wis
dom, sacrifice, and charity. Let
us emphasize this during 1941, as
otherwise our security and pros
perity may be our temptation and
our downfall.

is true to a certain extent. Hence,
to get out of debt and avoid future
losses should be one. aim of every
businessman in 1871, except
those to whom the government is
allowing heavy plant charge-offs.
When computed on an invested
capital basis the Excess Profits
Tax applies only after go is
earned. Have you ever figured
what $50 will give you when com
pounded annually ? For instance,
$4,000 at so compound interest
would amount, to over $50, 600 in 80
years. When you multiply the
amount by 10 or by 100, the result
is stupendous. Moreover, it makes
little difference to a conservative
investor or businessman whether
this $50 goes into dividends, or to
plant improvement, or to debt re-
-duction. I once asked Thomas A..
Edison who was the worlds great
est inventor. He flashed his eyes
and replied: "That chap who in
vented compound INTEREST,""
Outlook For Utilities
Although the eastern railroads
should do better during 1941, so
many banks and investors are
waiting for a chance to unload,
I do not foresee much prospect
of boom in railroad stocks. AS
for utility stocks, the situation is
only little better. The increase
even in normal taxes will hurt the
utilities more than any other
group. Utilities, moreover, can
not raise their rates, at least
during 1941. Therefore, the in
crease in normal taxes from 207o
to 24&o or more, comes out of the
stockholders. This is not the case
in many industries where the in
crease in normal taxes can be
absorbed by higher prices of fin
ished products. The only hope is
that the increased consumption of
electricity will Offset this tax in
crease or else that the commits
sions will be more lenient as to
depreciation.
Bonds And Industrial Stocks
High grade, long term, low
coupon bonds are today in the
same dangerous position as were
the blue-chip stocks in 1929. They
can move in only one way; and
that is down. May not an inves-
tor be crazy to tie up his money
at go, or even 80, for thirty,
twenty, or even ten years? There
is justification for an insurance
company, which knows that in
1860 it will need so much money
and can base its premiums on
29o rate, to buy these good bonds,
but bank or private investor has
no right to do so. Also, l am not
very keen for second-grade bonds
except in special cases with which
/ personally am fully acquainted.
On certain groups of industrial
stocks, however, I feel bullish.
Stocks of companies having real
assets in the ground look good to
me. These include oils, coppers,
pulps, chemicals, and certain
steels. Insurance stocks appear
to be a safe group with good
especially the fire in
surance companies which are
building up a conservative cas-
ualty business. During the in
fiation era following War War l,
insurance stocks stood up almost
the best of any group. Some OF
the banks and investment trusts,
where the assets can be bought at
a discount of nearly 500, also
look attractive. I believe 1941

Communistic element, the vote on
last November S shows this is de-
clining. Even the most radical
know what has happened already
to labor unions and their leaders
in every country but the United
States. believe labor win show
appreciation for its blessings by
being extra fair during 1871.
Farm Income Uncertain
Ordinarily, farm income from
marketing and benefit payments in
1941 should exceed the 1910 figure
of around $4,000, 100000, but I
cannot promise this. Weather is
a very unpredictable and important
factor. Exports will be so severe
ly cut and such large surpluses
already exist that I am not too op-
timistic on farm prices. Yet, if
the cost of the things which the
farmer must buy is kept down, he
should be at least as well off in
1941 as in 1910. Interest rates
will be in his favor, and taxes
should not hurt him. There will
be no new gadgets, such as auto
mobiles, refrigerators and radios,
offered to his family during 1941
which he must buy! Furthermore,
if Germany and Great Britain be-
gin to use arsenic next summer to
kill each others crops, United
States farmers may save the
situation and really prosper. Con-
sidering all things, I think the
farmers cash income in 1941 may
exceed 1910 by $45O,0O0,O0O, or
about $50, despite the reduced ex-
ports of cotton, wheat, tobacco and
fruits.
All of this means that present
benefits to farmers will continue
throughout 1941 at around $780,
100000. In addition to the exist
ing reasons for such benefits to
continue, there is the additional
pressure of South American diplo-
macy. The people of South Amer
lea have only wheat, cattle and
other agricultural products to sell.
We must help them sell them to
keep their good will. This, how
ever, puts real handicap on U. S.
farmers. If our farmers are to
accept this burden, it surely is up
to the rest of us to help them carry
it. Hence, farm benefits will be
more logical in 1941 than ever
before.
fOEelgn 1Td0e OUTLOOK
Foreign trade will be very ire
gular during 1941. If allowed to
take it's natural course, it will
slowly but steadily decline. Every
now and then, however, something
gives it a shot in the arm. Any
hypodermic has stimulating effect
for awhile. The recent $100,000,000
loan to China and the talked-of
loans to South America are illu-
STATIONS. If we repeal the john
son Act, allowing loans to Great
Britain, this will boost foreign
trade for awhile. While the sum-
mer months and even September,
1910, showed constant slumps, Oc-
tober and succeeding months have
shown improvement.
Business And Taxes
Every cloud has a silver lining.
The need of huge taxes by the
government insures good business.
We cannot pay taxes without
profits, and we cannot get profits
without good business. But you
say: "The government takes 500
Of the profits one year, but does not
share the loss another year." This

Business Will Be Better

War Or Peace
Business Will Be Better
/ believe that we would have a
prosperous 1941 irrespective of our
defense program. The big bust
ness backlog, the great shortage
of houses, and the unprecedented
supply Of idle funds are bound to
lead to a return of good times.
When we add to this fact the ire
mendous effect of the defense pro-
gram, the result is staggering. If
you have any doubt, read in your
newspaper of the contracts made
by the government every day for
supplies Of all kinds. Not only
will the demand for goods be
greater during the World War II,
but our industries are in far better
position to handle business. The
automobile industry, for instance,
has built approximately 76,000,000
cars since 1918. It is now pre-
pared to build airplane engines and
machine guns, as well as trucks
and tanks.
The electric-power industry,
thanks to President Roosevelt, has
covered the country with vast
network of transmission lines,
furnishing today power at rates
40% below those of 1918. Our
generating capacity is from four
to five times that of Great Britain
or Germany. Experts say that the
War will be won by OIL. If so,
we are fortunate in having three
fifths of the annual worlds produc-
ton, distributed by over $4,000
miles of pipe lines to all parts of
the country.
We have over one-third of the
railroad mileage of the world. The
physical condition of our railroads
has improved as money, which
heretofore has been spent on inter-
est, has been put into maintenance.
Let us not forget our telephone
service which connects 10000 COM
munities by nearly 10O,OO0,OOO
miles of wire. All of these items
show tremendous increases from
every point of view. Whatever
may be the truth as to the nations
preparedness for War, it is GER
tainly true that we never before
were SO well prepared for a great
industrial expansion.
What About The Railroads?
AS readers know, l have never
recommended railroad securities
since I spent two years as Assist
ant to the Secretary of Labor at
Washington, from 1917-1919, and
fought with leaders of the railroad
unions. I came back from there
saying that even if any cream
should rise from the railroad milk,
it would be SKINNED by labor and
never reach stockholders. Rail
road security owners are further
faced with severe competition by
the truck, the bus, the airplane and

freight and $50 of the nations
passengers are being transported
on rubber. These figures, more
over, are increasing at the rate Of
about 20eo a year; while the per-
centage of freight and passengers
hauled by the railroads is constant
ly declining. When railroad earn
ings look good in 1941, this will be
the time to get out and STAY
OUT. Do not be fooled on the
long-pull outlook by news items of
rising carloadings and earnings.
Idle Funds At Maximum Peak
We enter 1941 with the highest
known record of national bank ex-
cess reserves, - about seven bill
lion dollars. This means that
banks are in position to loan bill
lions of additional credit. No such
good condition ever existed in our
nation before. Our outstanding
bank notes are covered nearly
1000 by actual gold, while other
countries have coverage averag-
ing only about 1919. More money
is being carried in the pockets of
people today than ever before. The
money in circulation in the United
States as L, dictate this column,
amounts to $500, 0O0, 900.
Dividends are popping like Iire-
crackers. Dividend record sheets
show a tremendous expansion in
disbursements, equal to the balmy
days of 1928-29. It is well enough
to talk about the explosives which
are being manufactured by the du
Pont and other powder-producing
plants; but surely some of the sta
tistical explosives on my desk
should be the basis of some real
fireworks in 1941. / emphasize
this so strongly because the de-
tense program has hardly started.
Recent Army and Navy monthly
expenditures have been only about
800 of what they will be during
1941. Construction is just starting
on so many of the plants which are
necessary to produce hundreds of
thousands of needed items and ma
terials, that statisticians estimate
it will be the fall of 1941, at least,
before we get fully under way.

gagged in this, she paid her work.
crs twenty-five cents per hour. If
we must pay our workers three to
four times this, you see what it
will cost this country to duplicate
the German machine. A year from
now it will be time enough to dis
cuss 1912, 1913 and 1914; but as
far as 1941 goes, nothing can stop
us, = not even peace talk if it
should come in the fall of 1941.
The world is entering a new era,
- industrially, economically and
socially. It is hard for US older
men to become reconciled to these
changes; but every day there are
1000 funerals. The undertakers
are bringing back prosperity!
BODYBUILDING Will Continue
During World War I, the build
ing of homes was restricted. Con-
tractors were not allowed the
necessary cement, bricks, lumber
and nails for building homes.

but rather labor, skill and time. 1t
is true that we must enter a ship
building program - both of naval
vessels and merchant ships - but
otherwise, there is nothing to
interfere with home building. l,
therefore, forecast that residence
construction in 1941 will show an
increase of nearly 209o over 1910.
Presumably, it will cost little
more to build home in 1941 than
it has in the past few years; but
there is a reasonable available
supply of building materials. Be-
sides, masons, carpenters, plumb
ers and painters are primarily
interested in their years income
rather than their hourly wage
Therefore, if they can be sure OF
finding work every day they should
be content with present wages,
Another thing: During World War
I, there were no such available
funds as there are today. 1t was
then impossible to borrow govern
ment money for the building OF
homes. All the conditions are en-
tirely different now. Hence, / dis
