'CURB ISSUES EASY
IN BEnER TRADING
Gas Group Featured in Mod
erately Active Market.
Leaders Sell Off.
BY JOHN A. CRONE.
Ipkiil Dispf tch to The Star.
NEW YORK, September 1*. —Gas I
Issues, representing the natural and
manufactured branches of the industry,
provided some of the widest swings in
today’s moderately active and lower j
Curb Exchange session.
Professionals, as usual, centered con- J
aidcrable attention on the market lead* j
er. Electric Bond A Share, which ;
dropped more than 2 points. Cities'
Service was down a small fraction and
its trend was followed by American
Superpower, American & Foreign Pow
er. pnited Light As Power A and Stand
ard Oil of Indiana.
Consolidated Oas of Baltimore opened
dovtn 3 >2 points. Contrasting with this
movement was the rise in Missouri-
Kansas Pipe and later the gain scored
by Dixie Gas & Utilities. The natural
gas list, however, was not without its
soft spots. Memphis Natural Gas. for
example, opened off l 3 *.
Appalachian Gas dropped a small
fraction following the authorization of
an issue of 100.000 convertible $7 pre
ferred shares, which will be offered later
under a payment method providing for .
an initial cash outlay of 30 per cent
and optional features regarding the
payment of the balance.
Radio shares were not active although
two unfavorable dividend actions were
taken in that industry. Eisler Electric
equaled its previous low mark following
the omission of the 37% cents quarterly
payment. Ceco Manufacturing Co. took
no action on the 2 per cent quarterly
payment due at this time.
Universal Insurance Co. fell 4 points
to 40. a new low mark for the year.
Insurance securities and some others of
the group appeared on the tape occa
sionally. but »t unchanged quotations.
General Tire Sc Rubber, one of the
Inactive industrials, came out at 120.
or 10 points above its previous quota
tion, which incidentally was the low
level for the year. Unfavorable divi
dend actions by several rubber and
rubber machinery companies recently,
such as National Rubber Machinery’s
halving of its dividend, have brought
about a slackened speculative interest
In this division.
Standard Oil of Kentucky early
equaled Its previous minimum quotation.
Gulf OH of Pennsylvania was also lower.
Imperial Oil of Canada continued to
move higher, but at a slackened pace.
Th» lower-priced miscellaneous oils
again were in supply.
PARIS BOURSE PRICES.
FARIS. September 18 (A*). —Trading
was quiet and prices were steady on
the Bourse today.
Three pre cent rentes. 89 francs 35
centimes. Five per cent loan, 101
francs 80 centimes.
Exchange on London. 128 francs 71 %
centimes. The dollar was quoted at 35
francs 45 centimes.
MOTOR SALES GAIN.
NEW YORK, September 18 (>PI. —L.
A. Miller, president of the Willys-Over
land Co., said that the 30 per cent
increase in the August business of the
eempany over July indicated a ‘'definite
and encouraging upturn.” He added
that other statistics indicated an Im

'VOTING MACHINE FIRM
AWARDED BIG CONTRACT
I Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, September 18.—Con
' tracts for work totaling approximately
$1,500,000 have just been awarded the
Poole Engineering & Machine Co., ac
cording to S. Proctor Brady, president.
The contracts are for voting machines
for several counties in Pennsylvania, in
cluding 1,000, which comes from Alle
gheny County.
The design and patents of the ma
i chines are owned by the American
| Voting Machine Co. of New York, of
i which company the Poole Engineering
Si Machine Co. is the manufacturer.
1 Among the features of the voting
machines made here are the printing
| of each vote cast, and its automatic ad
dition to the number previously cast so
■ that at the end of the day there is no
delay in obtaining an accurate total,
not dependent upon addition by tellers.
I Opportunity for voters to correct errors
also is provided.
The design was virtually perfected 15
years ago when it received the highest
award at the Panama-Pacific Interna
; tional Exposition at San Francisco.

WOMAN'S BANK IS PLANNED
BY GOTHAM FINANCIER'S WIDOW
BY LEMUEL F. PARTON.
Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. September 18.—Just as
John B. Watson, the psychologist, says
that the idea of women in business is
"all rot.” Mrs. A. Barton Hepburn,
widow of the widely known New York
financier, plans to start a big, metro
politan woman’s bank, with the Board
of Directors composed entirely of
womeh. .. , A
Mrs. Hepburn became the first woman
bank director In Wall Street with her
election to the board of the Industrial
Banking Corporation of America a few
weeks ago. Associated with her hus
band In the control of large affairs, she
disclosed marked financial ability on her
own account and is moving up rapidly
to a position of assured leadership in
big business and finance.
Challenges Male Dominance.
Mrs. Hepburn was an active suffragist,
associated with such women as Carrie
Chapman Catt, Mrs. Raymond Brown
and Mrs. George B. Case in the critical
days of the movement. Hence her plan
for a woman’s bank, made public today,
carries with it an ardent championship
of women’s financial competence and
responsibility and a challenge of male
dominance in this field. *
‘The aim of the bank,” the announce
ment stated, “is to serve women's wel
fare variously, effectively—significantly
—to arouse women to a realization of
the great opportunities they are now
missing in the activities of the world
and to awaken in them an intelligently
keen interest in business, in investments
and the provisions and processes of the
law—so as to protect their own inter
ests and so inform themselves in prac
ticalities that they will have confidence
and courage to assume responsibilities
and maintain an influential part in the
'business sphere.
“We are not going to be poseurs, to
ask the world to consider us as wonder
objects. We are going to be bankers,
practicing banking in the straightest
and strictest, the fullest and the broad
est sense. We shall command resources
sufficient to merit consideration in the
larger phases of modern business. And
as they who are the heads of our his
torically pre-eminent instltut'ons are
ADVANCE IN DAIRY
PRODUCTS PRICES SEEN
By the Associated Press.
The expectation that prices for dairy
products. Including butter, will advance
moderately during the Autumn, but re
main at a lower level than for several
years past, was expressed today at the
Department of Agriculture.
This view was predicated upon a trend
toward expansion in the dairy industry.
In a report describing the dairy outlook
the department said while the drought
caused heavy damage to production
during the past season supplies of
roughage and hay are ample in the
most important dairy sections and the
decrease in Fall production is not ex
pected to be as heavy as the decrease
during the Summer months.

Fetr Seek Office.
As Mrs. Hepburn and her associates
tlius breezily declare themselves in on
the Wall Street doings, it is noted that
few of the ardent suffragists of other
years have gone out for political plums.
The militant wing of the suffrage party
either faded out or consecrated itself
to a lirelong battle against discrimina
tory legislation. The conservative wing,
to which Mrs. Hepburn belonged, has
sent few, if any, women to office. New
York women’s Republican clubs recently
have been perturbed by the finding that
nearly half their members aren’t inter
ested in politics and vote as their hus
bands vote. “The more the change the
more of the same thing,” as the French
put it*. .
But enfranchised women are begin
ning to take notice of the fact that, with
the steady accumulation of estates and
the increase in life Insurance, women
own just about half or maybe more of
the wealth of the country; that 80 per
cent of the savings bank deposits of the
country are those of women and that 85
per cent of salaries and wages is spent
by women. In New York and other large
cities, there are many women employed
in high-salaried positions in banks, trust
companies and brokerage houses, but
they have not gained membership on
boards of directors. Down in Wall Street,
Brokers report that, all in all, women
showed just as much sagacity and bus
iness ability as men during the period
of public participation in the bull mar
ket. One charming young woman al
most but not quite bought a seat on the
Stock Exchange. But, while lace cur
tains and window boxes may yet deck
the Stock Exchange, there is one safe
arcanum still uninvaded. Babe Ruth
and Hack Wilson are still the home-run
kings.

GRAIN MARKET
CHICAGO, September 18 (/P). —Wheat
values displayed a downward bias today,
influenced a good deal by reports that
the Grain Stabilization Corporation
would have some of its wheat surplus
holdings ground to be used as feed and
shipped into drought districts. Selling
pressure both on the wheat market and
on corn resulted, although President
Milnor of the stabilization corporation
has repeatedly said that any wheat
sales by the corporation would be re
placed by purchases in the open market.
Weakness of wheat was also promoted
by a late break in com prices, a de
velopment due to increased selling as
the day drew to an end.

FORD’S ACTIVITIES'
MAY BE INCREASED
Motor Manufacturer’s Visit
Abroad Is Followed
With Interest.
BY I>AVII> J. WILKIE.
Associated Press Staff Writer.
DETROIT, September 18.—Although
Henry Ford has stated emphatically
that his present visit to Europe is main
ly for pleasure, his movements abroad
are being followed with no little interest
by automotive executives at home. The
fact that he has been accompanied a
great deal on his movements abroad by
ir Percival Perry, chairman of Ford
Motor, Ltd., of England, has given rise
to speculation as just how much busi
ness activity may, after all, occupy Mr.
Ford's time in Europe.
Ford Motor, Ltd., of England is the
parent concern of the various contin
ental Ford companies, and holds seme
60 per cent of the capital stock of the
latter companies.
Plan Expansion. .
Recent advices have told of plans of
British and other European automobile
manufacturers to make a more earnest
bid for domination of their own domes
tic markets and at the same time reach
out for more export business. Ford in
terests In the foreign markets are re
garded as fairly well protected, how
ever, by the policy of identifying each
continental plant closely with the coun
try in which it is located. Wherever
possible raw materials are obtained at
home by these companies, native labor
is used and a certain percentage of
stock is sold among home investors.
Some recent figures on the export
business for last year showed that ap
proximately one out of every five cars
manufactured in the United States and
Canada were sold abroad. From these
figures can be seen the importance of
the export business to the industry. The
falling off In exports this year has been
as marked, as Jias been the reduction In
gross output, as compared with last
year’s record production.
Manufacturing activity at home con
tinues at about the low level established
immediately after the recent two-week
Inventory shutdowns, and although sales
executives of some of the low price
lines claim an upward trend In retail
demand there is nothing at present to
Indicate a marked increase in pro
duction within the next few weeks at
least.
Inventory Shutdowns.
The inventory shutdowns, the re
stricted production schedules and price
cuts designed to clear out stocks on
hand have operated to sharply reduce
dealers' Inventories, and many of the
industry’s leaders assert that it is in
ideal condition to take immediate ad
vantage of any upward swing in the
demand for new cars. Most of them
are agreed that the increased demand
will come soon after over-production
in other major lines as well as in the
automotive industry has been absorbed
and unemployment conditions have
been relieved.
J. C. Fields, sales manager of the
Chrysler Corporation, is one of the in
dustry’s executives who does not belieye
I in overly optimistic statements as the
means of stimulating business condi
tions. "Leave business alone and it will
take care of Itself.” he said. ‘‘There
are too many statements issued with
the Idea of pumping up business. The
result is everybody thinks business must
be very poor. Business doesn’t need
pumping up; leave It alone and the re
sults will speak for themselves.”
