Depress Market
Forecasters Upset as
Many Prices Eclipse
Previous I942 Highs
BY r.. {. FORBES

Unpredictable. The stock mar
ket is living UP 10 that reputa-
ton.
Every financial pundit agreed
that stock prices would be de-
pressed this month by liquida ton
10 establish tax losses. The
market has owed in the
opposite direction. Prices have
o eclipsed the previous top for
1912.
The government aStTonom-
zeal spending is providing vast
numbers of individuals and fam
lilies with more income than ever
before. While il is true that
savings banks and other banks
are receiving wholly unprece-
dented deposits, and while il is
also true that relatively few
ordinary folks are investing in
stocks il would seem 10 be that
some portion of excess income Is
being directed 10 Wall Street.
This is not astonishing. seeing
that many standard stocks and
many railway and other bonds
can be bought at figures Offering
high income.
CITES SOUTHERN RAILWAY
One example. Southern Rail
way finds itself in position 10
pay s. A share on its preferred
stock. Yet its 6 and 6i7 per cent
bonds can be purchased 10 yield
about 7 per cent.
Southern Pacific also provides
high yield on bonds. It's az per
cent issues arc selling only
slightly above 80, meaning that
the investor can get return OF
almost 9 per cent This notwith-
standing that net earnings are
very far in excess. OF fixed
charges
One hears rumors that our
largest life insurance companies
are liquidating railway bonds on
the theory that peace viii bring
p h en- omena development OF
transportation by air. therefore
unexampled competition with
our rail systems. 1t is very easy
TO let ones imagination run riot
regarding revolution Of pas
senger and freiGht-carrying 10
picture. eclipse Of ground trans
portation by air transportation.
But the fact Is that our rail
roads constitute the backbone
of transportation and that they
continue 10 he our main reliance
transportation-wise. If residents
in New York Chicago, Philadel-
phia. Detroit. Los Angeles and
other leading cities had To de-
pend upon airplaneS 10 bring
them the necessities Of life,
WOW,
Washington is sorely con-
cerned over "siphoning-off" the
unprecedented earnings of mil
lions of war workers. We are
told that 1913 will bring $40
600, 900 900 or $4,000. 000, 900 Of
income which cannot be spent
on consumer goods.
INITIATION FORECAST
Imitation is very definitely
forecast But how about all Of
us who are not being enriched
by var spending bat who face
the problem Of meeting gigantic
taxes?
A federal debt Of 5000 600
100000 already confronts ne.
Should hoStilitieS continue
through l943, the total would be-
come still more staggering.
Washington assuredly should
adopt pay-as-you-go income
tax plan. II il doesn't. millions
OF citizens will find themselves
delinquentS after the present
war-blown prosperity bubble
bursts.

 You have been told about our station here. It is an excellent one, gifted with all the tropical beauty Of this part of the world. The weather is rather warm and even hot at times but there has been very little sickness and few acci- dents, Dec eratias, Since supply ships are rarity, the food is rough army fare but 1t is wtole- some and sufficient. The monotony of hard work and little recrea- ton makes the life of a soldier here a difficuit one but 1t is cer- tainly one that will benefit him physically.
 As the weeks go on, OUT work progresses very well and the men, with more time to themselves, are devising their own recreation. Ex- citing volley-ball and softbail games are to be seen each evening. Some excellent theatricals have been produced. The libraries are being well patronized and 1t is edifying to sec how attentive the men are to their religious duties. But the arrival of mail and news from home is the greatest thrill. Remember that the mail service is poor, SO do not worry if you don't hear often from your soldier. am sure that he will write as often as possible.
 It is important that you. too, write often with newsy and cheer ful letters. Snapshots. home town newspapers, magazines and books are greatly appreciated, too. Realizing that his sacrifices are appreciated will help him to face his harships more patiently.
 Pray often that God will watch over him and bring this war to an end soon.

 Mrs. Anna Jackson. mother of 10 children, was unaware Of the search for the body until after her son had been buried She explained that tEe man who obtained gasoline in Rhode Island was a friend of her husband who volunteered to drive her from Long Island to Lynn.
