Mac- Donald, chairman of Ellis Island com- mittee gave a report of that work and the chapter voted to send a box of working supplies, such as it sent last year, valued at $20; also voted to send $2 for Ellis Island work.

In| IN ATCHISON BY M. S. RUKEYSER. W. B. Storey, who is completing his seventh year as president of the Atchi- son, Topeka and Santa Fe Rallroad, is a survival of the earlier type of rail- road builder. A native of the West, he has spent his entire husiness career in territories that were more recently opened up than these in the East, where the rail- ways have.in recent years stood pat. His mind runs toward growth and de- velopment, and his cardinal policy is to keep his rallroad somewhat ahead of the growth of business in the dis- trict through which it runs between Chicago and the Pacific Coast. Has Seen West Grow. In his own lifetime he has seen the Far West develop from a coagulation of mining camps into a fine array of densely populated citles. No wonder that a sense of growth pervades his polictes and business calculations! Mr. Storey, whose railroad in the year which closes this month will re- port the largest profits in its history, was born In San Francisco In 1857— one of the few natives of that city over 65 years of age. His first school ing was in San Francisco, but soon after his father moved to Colfax, Placer County, Calif., a small rail- road town on the Central Pacific. Mr. Storey later went to high school at Oakland. At Colfax his father served as express and stage agent. He helped his father after school hours. While at Oakland, Mr, Storey earned his way through school by daing chores, such as earing for horses and cows and cultivating gardens. Dur- ing the vacation of 1876 he made a contact which pointed the way to h future career; he obtained employ- ment with an engineering party work- ing on construction of the Berkeley Branch Rallroad from Oakland Point to Berkeley. The following year he passed entrance examinations to the University of California at Berkelev. but immediately got a job as rodman with an engineering party for another year. Then he studled mechanical engineering at the university. After his graduation, he served successively as rodman, instrument man and as- sistant engineer for the Central Pa- cific. Reached Top in 1920. From 1900 to 1906 he was chief en- gineer, with headquarters at Topeka, of what now comprises the Eastern and Western Lines of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe. He was trans- ferred to Chicago in 1906 to become chief engineer of the entire system. He continued until 1909, when he be- came vice president in charge of con- struction. On January 1, 1920, he be- came president—with the long record of a raflroad builder behind him. As president, Mr. Storey has taken pride in keeping the railroad abreast of the development in the West—pushing out new construction here and there where needed. Mr. Storey ascribes the record- breaking earnings of the Santa Fe this year not so much to general if dustrial growth, which has been a fac tor, as to marked {ncreases in ofl traf- fic from the Panhandle of Texas and a bumper wheat crop in that part of Kansas through which the road passes. “We are fortunate,” sald Mr. Storey, “In going through an'exten- sive and diversified territory that it does not all go bad at once, If there is a crop failure at one point, it is likely to be offset by an abundance at another.” Mr. Storey was asked whether his Children, Sons and Daughters of the Republic—The Peck Chapel branch, Children, Sons and Daughters of the Republic, met at Peck Chapel Tues- day evening, the State chairman, Mrs. Charles C. Halg, presiding. About 50 children were present and, following the usual opening exercises, held their annual election of presidents. Mary Cocker was elected president of the 2irls’ club, and Richard King, presi- dent of the boys' club. Miss Richards of the Descendants of '76 Chapter, D. A. R., was dressed in colonial costume and entertained the children with stories, among them, “The Story of the First Thanksgiv- ing."” Refreshments were served after a most enjoyable evening. The Friendship House Club, Chil- dren, Sons and Daughters of the Re- public, held its first meet of the season at Friendship House on No- vember 29. A program of music and folk dances given by the pupils of the Americani- zation School was appreciated. Mrs. Frank Curtis, State chairman Americanization, D. A. R. ent, as was Mrs. John a teacher in the school. . Kiernan belongs the credit for the program rendered. Piano solos, plano and violin duets, and folk dances by four young girls dressed in native costume were won- derfully rendered. Fach performer told of his or im- pressions here and of how much the Americanization School means to them. Following the patriotic exercises and this program, refreshments were served. E Pluribus Unum Chapter held its December meeting at the home of the chaplain, Mrs. Willlam L. Pfeiffer, in her apartment at the Portner. Misses Ada and Urilla Guitner were assisting hostesses. In the absence of the re- gent, Mrs. Elmer E. Curry, on account of illness, the vice regent, Mrs. Har- vey M. Friend, presided. After the usual procedure, Mrs. James H.

Shipments of poultry intended for the Baltimore Christmas market should be timed to reach here not later than Thursday for llve stock, the best days being December 21, 22 and 23, and not later than on first boats and trains Friday morning for dressed stock. In shipping dressed "poultry scalded stock, head and feet on, is preferred on this market, and shippers should kill only cholce fat birds and see that the heat is all out of the body before packing and ship- ping. Nothing should be shipped to reach here later than Friday morn- ing, as anything arriving after this time would not be received, the mar- ket being closed Saturday and Sun- day, and perishable or live would be a total loss.

STOREY PLAYED BIG PART 'S RECORD YEAR Western Rail President Thinks Roadsi Should Expand in Advance of Territory They Serve—Railroad Issues. railroad was less affected by the com- petition of the Panama Canal than the transcontinental roads of the North. “We feel the Panama Canal com petition,” replied Mr. Storey, ‘“and our earnings would be seriously affect ed if we depended for the most part upon California, but we go through a rich intermediate territory which originates profitable freight. Cynosure of Speculation. Because of its huge surplus and un precedented current earning power, Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe has been a cynosure of speculators, and has ac cordingly been subject to Wall Street rumors of melon cutting and increased cash dividends. Thus far the rumors have failed to materialize. The board of directors has been ultra conserva. tive in withholding part of the profits from shareholders and using earnings to finance the upbuilding of the sys tem. My next question was whether, after the Atchison board and the Interstate Commerce Commission agree on a val uation for the road, the company would undertake to make its outstand. ing capitalization conform to that fig- ure. On the basis of its own book value, the road Is now undercapital- ized. In answering _the , question, Mr. Storey said: “Not necessarily. It seems largely an academic matter, be- cause if earnings should seer large on the present capitalization the direc- tors always have the option of paying a larger cash dividend.” “What is the dividend policy of the company?”’ Mr. Storey was asked. “We pald 6 per cent on the common stock for-a number of years, and last year raised it to 7 per cent,” sald Mr. -Storey. “That has been our polioy, There {s nothing further to Bay. We have in recent years been financing our improvements and ex- tensions out of earnings. 1 would not care to say that we shall always continue to do so. We certainly, how- ever, are not going to pay out in divi- dends all we. earn when the question of possible recapture of so-called ex- cess earnings by the Government re: mains to be determined, when and if the Interstate Commerce Commission fixes our valuation.” Think Rates Inadequate. Asked for his view of the freight rate situation, Mr. Storey. declared “We do not consider rates adequate In our territory. The Interstate Com- merce Commission has rejected a re- quest of the Western roads for a freight rate increase and is now dis- cussing the question of a readjust- mént of rates. “Any net reduction in rates would have a serfous effect on the earn- ings of the Santa Fe. Of course, it should be remembered that the earn- ings of a rallroad depend not only on the basic rates, but on the volume of business carried. The present un- precedented prosperity of our com- pany has been ascribable to the grow- ing volume of traffic. There is not much that the rallroads themselves can do to affect the aggregate volume, which is depandent upon the growth and prosperity of the country. How- ever, in =0 far as we can affect it, we are trying to do so.” The road will probably earn $13.- 000,000 more than last year, which was a breaker. Mr. Storey's expansion’ program was reflected in the eapacity af the road to move a record-breaking. volume of . freight tapidiv amd 1ake cafe of all the:busi- 7 LIST WITHSTANDS REALIZING SALES Profit Taking, However, Gives Irregular Aspect to Day’s Dealings. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, December 18.—A though speculative enthusiasm began to wane in the stock market toda: after yesterday's excited trading prices successfully withstood an or slaught of realizing sales, with both the railroad and industrial average working up to_the highest levels in many years. Profit-taking in United States Steel and other leading indus trials, however, gave an irregular ct to the dealings. Total sales for the hours exceeded 1,000,000 shares. As Steel common sagged under the welght of a heavy seiling movement, Atchison Raflway quickly assumed the leadership of the market, soar ing more than 5 points to a new high record at 1697%. Buying of this stock was based on the growing conviction | that the road soon will fotlow the example of the United States Steel Corporation in capitalizing a part of its huge surplus for the benefit of common shareholders. Steel Resists Sales. Offering stiff resistance to the ir evitable wave of profit-taking invited by its rise to a new high record, United States Steel fluctuated for a time around its previous closing prics of 1594, later falling more than : point to 1 and rebounding at th | close ‘to 15914, representing g frac- | tional dedline for the day.. Allled Chemical, American Smeiting and other prominent shares followed the . downward trend of Steel. e Inspired by the generosity of the | United States Steel dividends,. re- i ports of other forthcoming distribu tions gained’ e¢irculation, playing o - prominent part in the buying « American Can, Baldwin, Air Redu tlon and’ Westinghouse Air Brake General Motors resumed its advance wtih a gain of 2% points and Fed eral Light & Traction preferred jumped more than 6 points to a new high. Warner Pictures “A" and Fo Film led a rise in the amusement ¥ shares. New York Central Strong. New York Central, whose stockhold- ers are expected to receive additional benefits next year, ran a close race with Atchison, selling as high as 147, it was within a halt-point of the year's top, and its closing price of : 1463 represented a gain of 43 points for the day Reading, Rock Island and Erie all recahed new high ground for the year and New Orleans, Texas and Mexico jumped 7% peints on a.~ single sale. ; Trading in the foreign exchange ° market was quiet today with the French franc still holding firm just below 4 cents. Demand sterling was slightly easier at $4.84 11-16, while Italian lire showed slight improve- 5 ment at 4.47 cents. The other con-s tinental rates showed only moderate changes.

Live Stock Quotations. The live cattle market shows little change from last week under ample receipts for the demand prevailing.

R TOLEDO, Ohio, December 17.—With the aid of people of the Middle West - the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence project may be brought to the construction ! phase in two years, in the opinion of W. L. Harding, former Governor of Iowa, and president-elect of the Great o Lakes-St. Lawrence Tidewater Assocl- ation. Harding was elected to succeed H. C. Gardner of Chicago at a convention here. “This is an international problem,” Harding said. “I do not say that we can dig the canal in two years, but we can be ready to begin the work if we approach our negotiations with Can- ada properly. “Canada has already spent about $114,000,000 in the new Welland Canal, and if we contribute toward complet- ing the route to the sea I believe we will get prompt action. It is costing Canada about 5 per cent to finance the Welland project and we can raise our portion at 4 per cent. Completion of the waterway will mean raising about $30,000,000 more by Canada and about $135,000,000 in America.” . Harding said with power develop- ment the project would amortize itself over a period of 20 years. NEW ENGLISH PLAN TO AID U. S. COTTON Economist’s Idea of Full-Time Mills to Be Tried Out, Using American Product. By the Associated Press. MANCHESTER, England, Decem- ber 18.—A noted economist's theory that full-time production, instead of . part-time and restricted output, will offset depression is to be tried out by the Manchester cotton mills using . American yarns. ‘The practical theorist is John Maynard Keynes, fellow of King's College, Cambridge, and author of the striking book, “The Economic Conse- quences of the Peace.” Mrs. Keynes, whom he married in July, 1925, was Lydia Lopoukhova of Leningrad, one of the greatest living dancers, who ' has performed in the United States. Under his plan, approved by t organization committee of the Fed- eration of Master Cotton Spinners, the practice of curtailing American , yarn spinning, which has been in effect almost continuously since * 1920, will be abandoned. Mr. Keynes insisted that the short time had the effect, by restricting output, of enormously increasing the ratio of overhead charges and thus increasing the cost of the manufac- tured article for the consumer, to the advantage of Japanese and other for- elgn competitors. He urged mass production, with fuller utilization of Amerlcan raw material. As a result of his plan, British spinners will find work six full days a week for the first time in nearly six years In those mills using Ameri- can yarns, and American cotton farmers, faced with heavy losses be- cause of the second large crop in as many years, will be able to sell part of their surplus. “Kid” Julian Is Acquitted.
