WANTS HIS DOLLA
N o Joke He Writes—Thinks
Finder Should Be Honest
and Return the Money.
Editor of the Sentinel.
Dear Sir:
In yesterday's Kiwanis page you
mentioned that I announced at the
luncheon the loss of a dollar. but you
made it appear as if it was one of my
Jokes.
Please correct that item.
It was no Joke! I never Joke when
money is concerned. I think spending
two dollars to hear Arthur Paddock
sing a Yiddish ditty by Schulman and
then have to eat one of Hollywood's
famous turkey .Iuncheous is quite suffi-
cient. and I think the finder ought to
be honest enough to return the dollar.
Respectfully yours.
SAM'L GREENSTEIN.

able to sell oil shares and some of the

temporarily exhausted their possi-
bilities on the long side of the mar-
ket. Corn Products was the weakest
feature. dropping nearly three points
on belated proilt taking following the
recent dc aration of an exact divi-
dend. Ba dwln, American Can and
Studebaker also lost ground. Moder-
ate advances took place in the coppers
and a few specialties. notably W'ooh
worth. Hartman Corporation and Fe»
mous Players. The closing was irregu-
lar. Sales approximated 300.000
shares. d n
Prices generally displays a rm
tone at the opening of today’s stock
market. President Harding's speech
advocating consolidations brought
fresh buying power into the rail
group. Northern Pacific leading the
early advance with a gain of one
point. Coppers moved higher under
the leadership of Chino.
Selling of the oils continued. Gen.

Good buying continued. however. in
