MARKET IS FURTHER
UP RECOVERY TRAIL
(Coutingea From Page One)
ingly absorbed in discussion of
moves by federal authorities to
control credit expansion to pre
vent another violative speculative
boom.
Speculation, however, seemed to
have veered from securities to
ward commodities. Wheat, rubber,
industrial metals and other basic
staples took the spotlight from
stocks with sharp advances in the
final stretch of 1936 while share
prices dragged in quiet trading.
Under ipcreased margin re
quirements ordered by the Fed
eral Reserve Board early in, the
yvear, the stock market had to
get up steam for further advances
without aid of much credit. Some
traders, in fact, got in the habit
of calling it a ‘“cash and carry
market” because the 1936 spurts
were_ accompanied by little ex
pansion in loans against securi
ties.
On the other hand it was sod
by a heavy flow of cash from
abroad, dubbed “hot money” in
Washington because the federal
authorities feared it might com
plicate their problems of credit
control and leave markets open
to sudden withdrawal of foreign
capital sent here for speculation
and investment.
Soaring quotations for copper,
rubber, wheat and other commod
ities turned attention in trading
circles to stocks in line to benefit
from rising demand for raw ma
terials.
As an offset, the share market
faced a succession of labor con
troversies in the automobile and
allied industries and threats of
strikes in steel and elsewhere.
Moreover, war alarms continue i
to sound late in the year and to
divert in some measure attention
from domestic revival in buying of
industrial equipment and fore
casts of broadening improvement
in construction and heavy indus
tries in the new year.
Nevertheless, the stock maiket
rode through the year-end liqui
dation with little damage to the
gains amassed on the prolonged
1935-36 upswing.

Mr, Hartley saild when “Cole”
registered at the Holman Christ
mas Eve he said he was going
out to Carter-Moss and left direc
tions to send a telegram he ex
pected to the Ilumber company’s
office. Shortly after ‘“Cole” left
the Holman, Mr. Hartley received
a telephome call from a man
claiming he was Mr. Carter, who
told Mr. Fartley that “Mr. Cole”
was registered at the Holman and
was here to do some special work
for the lumber company and had
found he would have to be here
longer than he expected. Since
“Mr. Cole” was short of funds,
the man whom Mr. Hartley
thought was Mr. Carter told the
hotel manager that “Mr. Cole”
would present a check for $25
drawn on the lumber company and
the hotel manager was requested
to cash it. Mr. Hartley, thinking
he was talking with Mr. Carter,
ceadily consented to cash the
check. Two hours later “Cole” re
turned and got the forged check
cashed.
The man apparently was sur
plied with plenty of nerve, in
view of the fact that he cashed
several of the checks after Dr.
Reid had notified the police of nis
presence in the city.
The checks used by "Eole"«were
“fixed” up so as to look genuine
with the company’s hame printed
on them, and in one corner, the
inscription, “Everything in Bulid
er's Material” was printed. The
amount of the checks was always
“ploetcted” with a check protector

The man is said to have made
small purchases at each of the

each check was for $25, according

PROPOSAL STUDIED
PENSACOLA, Fla.— (#) —The
city council is studying a proposal
to give exelusive rgihts to a new
airline which would operate from
Jacksonville to Mobile with stops
in Lake City, Tallahassee and
Pensacola.
H. G. Strachan, jr., president of
the Atlantic and Gulf Coast Air
Line, discussed the plan with city
officials. He said the firm was
backed by the Strachan shipping
interests in Savannah, Ga. An
extension to Savannah and New
Orleans was considered for a later
time, he said.
The exclusive franchise would
become effective if other compan
ies attemp®d to operate over the
airline’s route. Daily passenger
and express service would bhe
given with three eight-passenger
planes already obtained, Strachan ‘\

Lucas & Jenkins Wishes and Gives

The very best of the New Year
to you!
That's the 1937 greeting of Lu

Athens theaters, through A. D.
Robhertson, local representative.
And, in accordance with that
wish, Mr. Robertson today re
leased « list of the feature at
tractions that will be presented
at the Palace theater in the next
few weeks.
While the list headlines the
“January Jubilee,” it might more
aptly be termed *“#. Month of
Hits,” for that’s what the attrac

every one.
Take a look down this list,
which includes productions of the
six major film companies—Para
mount, M-G-M, United Artists,
Warner Brothers, Radio Pictures,
and Foux-20th Century.
Leading off is “Gold Diggers of
1937,” which reaches the all time
high for %“he annual fun and
frolic output of Warners, starring
Dick Powell, Joan Blondell and a
cast of lovely gals.

WORLD’S NAVAL
RACE SLATED AS
TREATIES EXPIRE
(Continuea rrom Page One)
Hmitations treaty of 1922 and the
London pact of 1930 reached their
end,
From the dawn of the new year,
technically, all barriers to naval
building would be lifted as the
London treaty of 1936, signed by
the United States, France and
Great Britain, hzs been ratified
only by the United States.
e
Europe’s shipyards hummed with
preparations for unbridled compe
tition in strengthening the nations’
naval arms, permitted after the
treaties die at midnight.
Britain Leads
~ Great Britain stood foremost
‘among the expected builders of a
sea power, embittered because it
‘lbelieves the dying pacts gave
other great powers an advantage
S 0 great the empire’s first line of
defense has been weakened.
The only hopes for slowing
down rearmament rested in the
possibility other powers would sign
bilaterally with Great Britain, un
der the unratified 1936 treaty, bind
themselves to the provisions and
{a.nnual exchanges of information
regarding new construction inten
,ttons.
l There was also a waning possi
;hmty Japan might agree to an
extension of article 19 of the
‘Washington treaty restricting bat
tleships to 14-inch guns.
Great Britain and France set
their shipyards to work not only
‘to increase the strength of their
sea defenses but also vastly to en
large them. g
Italy Busy
Italy concentrated on heavy con
struction to match the formidable
weight of Great Britain’'s first line
ships. )
Germany strained its resources
to build to the limits of its 1935
agreement with Great Britain
which restricted the Reich to 35
per cent of British naval power.
Janes’s Fighting Ships forecast
put Britain in the lead of contem
nlated building 99 warships under
construction or planned.
It ranked the others in this or:
der: The United States, 83; Italy,
66; France, 43; Germany, 39; Ja
pan, 38.
Nothing will remain in force
from the dying treaties, denounced
by Japan Dec. 27, 1934, except part
IV of the London mpact stating
rules of international law accepted
by the five Washington powers—
the Uniteq States, Great Britain,
France, Ttaly and Japan — which
govern the conduct of submarines
during times of war.

Pope Rallies; Slept

Better Last Night;
. . .
Will Give Greeting
(By the Associated Press)
VATICAN CITY — (#) — Pope
Pius XI wag reported semi-offi
cially today to have rallied and
slept better last night than at any
time since his illness took a turn
for the worse,
The aged Holy Father, after
hearing mass, was said to have felt
refreshed enough to begin draft
ing his New Year's greetings to
sovereigns.
Despite the improvement shown
in hig sleep, he was reported in a
losing battle with death at the
dreary dawn of one of the saddest
vear-ends in the history of the
Catholie church.
Frequent mild opiates eased the
pain in his legs to bring sleep he
has been missing for the past
week. »
The easing of the pontiff’s pain
was attributed in part to the dis
appearance of a blood clot from
his left leg which was partially
paralyzed.

SHOOT OWN MEN
ST. JEAN I?E LUZ, France.—
(P)—Spanish socialist government
sources reported today insurvzent
pilots had slaughtered 71 of their
own comrades when they raclhine
gunned fascist trenches near Ovi
edo.
Thirteen planes of the insurgent
air fleet were said to have swoop
ed down on the city Sunday in a
raid intended to demoralize the
government troops ywhose positions
encircle the city.
Mistaking ground sig#als, the
reports said, the planes spattered
their own trenches with the dead
1y lead.
The government souw'tes said
captured prisoners described the
fatal mistake in graphic detail.
SICK ’EM, FIDO

dogs, loosed by socialist militia
men during hand-to-hand fighting
with insurgents, took fascist Gen.
Jose Varela's troops. by surprise
today, in a government counter
attack near Villa Verde.
The maneuver almost resulted
in a socialist victory, insurgent
field headquarters acknowledged,
but the animals and men were fi
nally beaten off atfer penetrating
the fascist front line.
' Mhe animals were describeq as
savage “half-woves” which, led by
militiamen, leaped at the throats
of the insurgent defenders. Many
‘of the fascists were bhitten.
‘ The dogs ‘apparently had been
trained to obey their masters and
attacked blindly on 5 given signal.

FIGHT AGAINST TIME
MADRlD—(#)—Socialist Spanish
armies fought against time in the
dying hours of the wvld year today
to shut off insurgent supplies
from the west gna drive back the
besiegers of Madrid.
Government armies were mass
eq in the Tagus river sector and
around Pozuelo de Alarcon, mak
ing every effort to join at a point
east of Talavera and cut the Fas
cist road to ¥stremadura.
The time element was vital be
cause of a rebel drive from Cor
doba, on the south, which the gov
ernment saig was German-reinfor
ced. !
There was no hint of respite in
the eight-weeks' siege of Madrid
or in the “international civil
war” itself.
With the wheels of a “workers
government” running somewhat
more smoothly, authorities extend
ed censorship to all printed mat
ter.
a, short time as has Vim Herb
(made purely from Herbs, Roots,
Barks and Berries)) and any num
ber of well known Anderson peo*
ple are coming forward with sign
ed statements with which they say
they are really amazed at the
quick action of this new medicine.
Take the case of Mr. D. A. Poole,
206 X street, Avpleton Mills, And
erson, S. C. In a recent statement
Mr. Poole said, “I was troubled
with constipation, gas and indiges
tion pains for 10 or 12 years, Gas
and indigestion pains caused me
lots of suffering. Foog would not
digest. My stomach would swell
and bloat and everything 1 ate
caused me trouble. At night gas
would form so bad I could hardly
sleep at all this trouble had me in
a very bag run-down condition.
Nothing T ate seemed to agree with
me. 1 took most every kind of
medicine I heard of for my trouble,
Vim Herb has cleansed my entire
system, no more swelling from gas
or bilious attacks. My Thowels
move regularly every day. Every
thing I eat seems to agree with me
and for the first time in months
I sleep and. rest well at night. Tn
short, I feel better in every way
than I have for years.”
