GIN Puyout
Is Richest
In History

NEW YORK (AP).-General
Motors Corp. viii pay common
stockholders $1,136, 100000 in
1868. by far the richest divi-
dend distribution ever made by
a business enterprise.
Directors Of GIN. the worlds
largest industrial concern,
voted to dip into record high
earnings for a special $429
million Christmas season dis
bursement.
The extra dividend, second
of the year for GIN. was in
addition to a regular quarterly
payment Of more than S143
million. Checks will be mailed
to be received by the 100000
stockholders on December 10.
81 PayOut for Year
On a per share basis, the
1868 dividend amounts to 81,
one half of it in regular
quarterly payments, one half
in extras" The extra declared
yesterday amounted to $3.50 a
share.
The huge payout was expect
ed to have bullish influence on
the stock market when trading
resumes omorrow after an
Election Day recess, serving as
a reminder of the record pace
Of corporate profits generally.
Excepting American Tele-
phone g. Telegraph Co., no
other company has nearly as
many stockholders as General
Motors GIN leads AT&T and
all the rest In shares outstand-
ing with 286,516,705.
Institutions Benefit
Because 101 900 GIN share
h olders are institutions and
groups, a large portion Of its
dividends goes into pension and
employe benefit funds, college
endowments, trusts, estates,
insurance company holdings,
mutual funds, foundations and
the like.
No estim a tie was available
from the company. but the
proportion might amount to 40
or SO per cent, expanding bene-
ficiaries of indirect effects into
the multi-millions of persons.
The GIN shareholder army
includes about 10000 individ-
uals. more than half Of them
women, and probably close to
another 100000 persons re p

ancy accounts, often husband

GINS total payout last year
was $850.5 million, then the
biggest. The SO per share total
included a 81 year end extra
dividend.

Furthermore, only 16 of the

The booklet, first of a series

word meaning house old

The booklet defines GIMP as
"the total market value of the

Colleges Ask q Lot

Why have you decided to

Why are you choosing this

The application blank you
send in viii be your represent

to the best of your ability be-
cause when the admission Of
ficer reviews it, you won't be
present to explain those blank
spaces or partial answers.
II you present an apphca-
ton which shows evidence Of
thought and planning, COM

you'll make the impression
you wish to make. Admission
officers usually feel that stu
dents will use the same care
and planning in carrying out
their college work and so are
the most likely to be success
full.
Final Check List
Your application for admis-
sion must meet all the follow
ing requirements:
Q Be submitted on time.
CHECK the particular school
In the college catalog.)
. Be filled out completely.
These get first consideration.
Incomplete ones call for
delaying correspondence to

place.
Q Be addressed to the prop

Of the college. "a wrong move
not only puts the student in a
poor light but the resulting
delay may make you miss the

. Be accompanied by a
scholarship application blank,

For example, you'll have to

Dor who was always scream
ing at her children. You
may be interested in this let
ter received today:
Dear DR.. Steincrohn: Per-
haps Mrs. K. viii be more
tolerant when she reads the
other side of the story. Not
too long ago In q nearby city
a young mother Of two killed
herself and her two children.
The neighbOrs said Of her,
''She kept to herself and she
screamed at her children all
the time"
The pitiful note left by the
mother said: Ct am tired
tired Of trying and falling
tired Of nobody caring"
Her neighbors didn't follow
up their awareneSs Of her
troubles with any friendly
help. II would have been too
much Of a strain on their dig
nifty, / suppose. It was easier
to sit home and criticize until
the tragedy happened.
My comment to Mrs. K. Is
this: II you care about chill
dren, care about the mother,
too. In your mind try to
imagine her as one Of those
two little girls Of hers grown
up. With her screaming and
beating her children she ex-
hibits indications Of an I'M
healthy mind. Not insanity,
but just poor breeding in con-
troll and language. She Is
probably more unhappy about
