Youths Spelling
Gives Him Awuy
In Test for Friend

A youth who offered to take
q written test for a friend who
couldn't read or write yesterday
came a cropper because Of his
own spelling.
Police charged a 16-year-old
colored boy with attempting to
obtain a drivers permit by mis-
representation when an exam
liner noted the boy had trouble
spelling what he said was his
own name.
Examiner Leo A.. Bernhard
thought it was curious when the
youth wrote alexander instead
OF Alexander. When he was
questioned the youth admitted
he took the test for a man liy-
ing in the 100 block OF sum-
mitt street NE.
He told police the man
couldn't write well enough to

Looking rich in a dark blue
suit and light figured tie, Mr..
Wolfson lost no time lighting into
Mr.. Avery and Wards president.
Edmund A. Krider, $4,000
a-year executive. whom he labels
as the only man sure to- be fired
If the Wolfson interests take
over.
/ He accused them of distorting
facts and refusing to meet with
him in a question-and-answ
showdown. and lambasted Mr..
Avery for selling out" the cor
poration by agreeing to a con-
tract with the AFL Transfers
Union in return for promises of
votesfrom 1880 shares of stock.
Down to Bedrock
Then he got down to what
matters-the long green. He re-
cited how Montgomery Ward
earned 5i2 per cent last year
compared to Is per cent for Sears
Roebuck Co. and 10 per cent for
j. C. Penny.
If you should sell your Wards
stock tomorrow, you would lose
IS per cent from book value,
while Sears stockholders would
gain a ITO per cent premium by
selling and Penny stockholders
a 210 per cent premium.
He scoffed at the $51 in
dividends declared by Wards
since 1886 and dangled the
tempting $124 paid by Sears and
STA by Penney. Instead of
$3.50 a share. Wards stock.
based on parity with Sears Roe
buck should be selling for $199,
or 1926 based on parity with
Penney. he said.
During the audience partici-
patton period of the show, Mr..
Wolfson replied to the question
OF whether Montgomery Ward
stock is still good with the
answer that proper management
would bring about the kind of
stock prices mentioned above.
Humor in Questions.
Some Of the questions evoked
outlaws. Such as. "Mr. Wolfson,
why in the world do you want
to take on Montgomery Ward?"
My 3la-year-old youngster,
my wife and my mother ask the
same question:" Mr.. Wolfson
smiled.
The answer is simply this:
No man ever had greater OPP
portunity to prove himself cham
pion of big business.
In the past I could look for
ward TO trying to save morally
sick, financially sick companies.
This is my first opportunity to
take a real sick company and
improve it with ease with money
laying here"
That brought a laugh, but
loud applause greeted his state
ment that he never would ac-

The Louis E. Wolfson stock
company, or perhaps more ac-
curately stock-collecting COM
pany, hit the road again today,
after a seemingly successful one
day stand here.
Mr.. Wolfson. a struggling
matinee idol, who hopes to get
his name in lights as chairman
of Montgomery Ward & Co.,
gave his eighth performance yes
terday of a heart-tugging melo-
drama: Go West, Young Wolf
son." or Hitch Your Wagon to
a Wolfson and Get Rich Quick"
For an audience, the hand
some star had 1850 standing
room-only investors in Mont
gomery Ward stock. Initiated
by promises of bonanzas, once
the villain, 8l-year-old Sewell
Avery, is banished in the third
act, the crowd appreciatively APP
plauded and chuckled at the
proper moments.
Climax on April ~
Mr.. Avery, present board
chairman of the vast retail en-
pire of Wards, came in for some
scathing tongue-clucking from
the young man who is deter
mined to end his 24-year tenure
as Wards boss at the April %
Chicago stockholders meeting.
Yesterdays affair was No. 8
in a cross-country series of "cof-
fee cup" matinees. There is one
more engagement in Boston be-
fore the caravan heads for
Chicago for the denouement in
MIR. Avery's own stronghold.
Altogether, Mr.. Wolfson's ac-
tive corps Of press agents figured,
he has met about $4,000 stock
holders at Misunderstanding level
and exchanged victory salutes
with many.
Count Shares by Thousands
Yesterdays outpouring filled
most of the grand ballroom of
the Willard Hotel. Tabulators
figured they represented 76,463
shares of stock from a potential
$4,000 held by area investors.
There are 1858 Wards stock
holders of record in the area. So
the Wolfson house-counters
weren't feeling bad when the
curtain went up.
Mr.. Wolfson, wavy-haired,
blue-eyed and built for tarzan
roles, unquestionably held his
audience. Except for an intro
ductory prologue by Joseph A.
tJiggs) Donohue, no mean talent
himself, the big man from the
South had it all to himself.
Occupying the pulpit with con-
f1dence, he erupted enough fig
ures to fill a Montgomery Ward
catalog with nary a false start.
True, his grammar wasn't be-
yond reproach and his syntax
was meandering. but who is to
bubble with a guy hitting for
better than a million a year?
Mr.. Wolfson opened on a high
pitch and kept spirits soaring.
OF stock voted in areas where his
troupe has toured, 212 shares
have come his way for every /
garnered by the present Wards
management. His aim is to get
enough of the ST. million out
standing shares for 81 per cent
of the stock, and yesterday he
was visualizing victory.

system of electing directors is
upheld in the courts. and we
don't elect a full slate, Mr.. Avery
