RISE IN EARNINGS VARIOUSLY VIEWED Financiers Discuss Excep- tional Advance in U. S. Steel and General Motors. By the Assoclated Press. NEW YORK, October 27.—The significance of exceptional earnings by United States Steel and General Motors was variously interpreted by Anancial commentators today. The steel corporation reported earn- tngs of $52,626,826 for the third quar- ter of ‘1926 and General Motors re- ported $149,317,553 for the first nine months of this year. ‘The steel corporgtion’s earnings are its highest since the final three months of 1918, at the close of the war, and the nine months’ report for General Motors is larger than for any revious complete year in its history. e steel earnings represent a net share of $13.07, as compared with 9.43 for the same period last year, end the General Motors earnings $17.77 per share, as compared with $0.71 for the first nine months of 1926. ‘The Republican New York Herald- ‘Tribune says today: “Facts and figures bearing out the predictions of prosperity voiced on numerous occasions by Elbert H. Gary and other industrial and finan- cial leaders of the country ‘were sup- plied by two of the Nation's billion- dollar organizations, each the largest of its class.” The independent New York Times says: “That the securities market is rather idle and listless at the moment LANSBU is accounted for by the fact that these figures as well as the figures of many other corporations now being current- ly published reflect past business and are ‘water over the wheel.' Never- theless, they are a good Indication of the lkelihood of corporate earnings as a whole in 1926 establishing records measurably above those of 1926." Listed in Series of Contrasts. ‘The Deémocratic New York World regards the earnings statements as “another in a series of contrasts be- tween what big and small enterprises can accomplish.” “Manufacturing and management efficiency,” the World continues, “have made tremendous strides, but the great bulk of business has not been able to keep pace. The leaders are undoubtedly enjoying great prosperity, but many ‘'smaller organizations have a different story to tell. “In its broader aspects, there is anxiety in business circles that the artificial props quite obviously applied to bolster up the cause of prosperity may be removed once the balance of power passes from the hands of the present ruling party.” SEES MOUTH CANCER CURE Must Be Caught in Early Stages, # Expert Says. e PHILADELPHIA, October 27 (#).— Cancer of the mouth is curable in its early stages, Dr. Guy Harrison of Richmond, Va., told the Academy of Stomatology here last night. The academy is devoted to the considera- tion of the scientific phases of dentistry. X Cancer cases from broken teeth, faulty fitting plates and projecting roots, said Dr. Harrison, an authority on diseases of the mouth, show an alarming_increase. He said the dentist, through mouth hygiene, could do much to check rav- ages of cancer. e B Sailors used to wear their hair in a long pigtail.

PILSUDSKI IS CHARGED WITH DESIRE TO BE KING Monarchist Conferente ] in Polish City Arouses Belief That Marshal Covets Power. By the Associated Press. WARSAW, Poland, October 27.— ‘The monarchist conference held at Nieswiez Monday, with the attendance of Marshal Pilsudski, has led to the supposition in some quarters that Pil- sudski has a desire to become Kking. This supposition is_declared to be at least premature, It is known, however, the dictator seeks the support of the monarchist and other groups with the idea of strong executive power. The marshal returned here yesterday, but most of the members of the conference re- mained at Nieswiez, and just what happened there cannot be ascertained at present. An attempt was made, nevertheless, to unite in one strong organization, all existing conservative and monarchist groups on which Marshal Pilsudski would base his policy. It is reported that the assembly informed the marsh- al of the necessity of the electoral law in order to protect ‘the interests of the conservatives in the next diet. MINE STRIKE CALL.
