Analysis of Political, European, Agricultural, Mer-cantile, Railroad, Utility, Monetary, Security, Labor Outlook Optimism Justified How conducive our monetary position is to quickening business activity need not be emphasized since it is nlain to all.

Cheap money inva Lillian Huffman alias "Harry Meyers," and (Insert) Bertha Jones. By B. T. FORBES. What is the business outlook for the second half of the" year? Bv the -first of July the Democratic convention should be over.

hile business is- keenly interested, it is not seriously alarmed over the proceedings In responsible circles there is a feeling: that if McAdoo be defeated the nomination will probably go to John W. Davis or some other conservative candidate. The third party talk is not taken very seriously. It Is figured by business men that should La Follette run, he would pull Democratic as well as Republican votes perhaps more of the former than of the latter. The campaign is not expected to prove demoralizing to business.

The election itself will be out of "he way two months before the end cf the year. While financial and business leaders are not quite so certain as they were a little while ago that Calvin Coolidge would win, the majority still feel fairly confident of the result. Should this confidence became strengthened during the early stages of the campaign, 'all Street" would doubtless begin to exhibit buoyancy long before November since it strives always to anticipate actual happenings. The second half of 1924 promises to bring the adoption of the Dawes plan for composing Europe's chief troubles. Our international financiers and industrialists count upon immediate, important, far-reaching, developments following such action.

The understanding is that loans will be extended on quite a scale to European borrowers especially corporations and other non-governmental organizations. Much of this money will be spent here, thus stimulating activity, while the balance of the snnnlied will be utilized to improve conditions in the countries of the borrowers. That, at least; is what is looked for. The world's grain crops threaten to be unusually light this year. Unfavorable weather and soil conditions have not been confined to the United States, but are reported from other grain-growing countries.

It is the realization of this fact which has been mainly responsible for the very sharp rise in wheat, oats and rye in our own mar-f kets during the last fortnight. Wheat last week was carried as much as 15c a bushel above the price ruling in 1923, corn as much as 10c, oats 7c and rye 15c. Certain trade authorities predict $1.20 1 to $1.35 for wheat before the end of this year, and corn is also expected to do very well price wise. Of course, growing conditions may so improve here and abroad that these predictions will not be entirely fulfilled. Yet it is not unreasonable to figure that grain prices will prove distinctly more satisfactory than they have been heretofore.

This phase of the outlook is fundamentally important. The cotton outlook is similar, ex cept that the shortage is actual, not IE-7 Baseball Game, Fireworks And Dance Day's Features The American Legion and the La dies' auxiliary will hold their annual picnic at Lakemont park on Thurs. day, August 7.

It was for respect of Mr. Wilson's memory, too, that the convention adjourned by formal resolution until tomorrow.

CLEVELAND, June 23. For' 15 months Bertha Jones believed herself to be Mrs. Harry Meyers, and received daily visits from her supposed husband. Now she knows that "Harry is a woman. While police are debating what to do with the "masquerader, Ullian Huffman, who is being held as a suspicious person, the pair are reiterating affection and declaring that the outcome of the court could not change jt.

So far. police have been unable to find a law under which Lillian can be prosecuted. For 17 of her. 36 years Lillian Huffman has worked anl dressed as a ran, Police say ure has been arrested for masquerading and always vijscharged. When arrested she was working for a distributing company with four men in her charge.

Bertha, who is 21, has been working in a candy store her home, and the woman who courted her as "Harry Meyers" worked in a cabinet factory nearby. During the noon hour the with close clipped dark hair and horny hands and wearing overalls and heavy shoes, would drop in for a chat Had Separate Homes. This for a year and a half. Then the lover came to Bertha's home, dressed in a man's best, proposed, was accepted, and gave the bride-who-hoped-to-be a diamond Ving. The pair went to a justice of the peace with their marriage license and he pronounced them man and wife.

But housekeeping never began. 'Whenever Bertha urged it the masquerading husband said his wages of $3,50 a day were not enough for two to live on, but $2 of the wages always went to Bertha. Then one day neighbors who knew Lillian when sh-3 was a tomboy, wear ing boys' clothes everywhere except to school, told Bertha her "husband" was a woman. An attorney was consulted and the masquerader arrested. "But I was kind of sorry as soon as I'd done it," said Bertha.

"I couldn't sleep a wink till I heard that Harry was out of jail. He came right away Standing of Crews Middle And Pittsburg Division Crews At Altoona Today Following "is the of the Middle Division crews after 12:01 A. M. today: Cabins 237 244 241 235 223 238 243. Lock Haven crews after 12:01 A.

Stock prices resumed their movement to high er ground in today's market despite sporadic profit-taking and short selling in various sections of the list.

Trading was again in relatively small volume due to the desire of many professional traders to await devel opments at the Democratic national convention before extending their commitments. Total sales 632,000 shares. One of the outstanding features of the session was the further accumulation of the Erie, Nickel Plate and Chesapeake and Ohio issues, mos of which touched new 1924 highs, on buying undoubtedly based on a revival of rumors that the Van Swer-ingens were seeking control of Erie with the Idea eventually of bringing that road and Pere Marquette into a great 10,000 mile railroad system. Erie common crossed 29 to its best nrice since 1917: Chesapeake and Ohio closed 2 points higher at 82 3-4 and Nickel Plate touched 91 and then eased off, to 89 3-4, up 3-4 on the day. Reports of improved traffic condi tions' in the noAhwest also brought good buying into Great Northern preferred, which established a new peak at 61 3-8.

Bethlehem Steel was singled out for an attack on rumors questioning the safety of the $5 dividend, being hammered down to a new low for the year at 45. Other steels held rel atively firm. United Sttaes Steel com mon closing 5-8 higher at 96 7-8. Atlantic Kenning recovered one point of yesterday's 9 1-2 point break. Bond prices resumed their forward movement in today's trading session which was featured by sharp rallies in virtually all the Erie's railroad bonds.

Total sales, par value, Call money held unchanged at 2 per cent. Foreign exchanges were silghtly reactionary. BOY CAMPER VICTIM OF ACCIDENTAL SHOOTING (From Page 1) through the doorway, saw young Griffith sag to his knees and then fall face downward on the cabin floor. Berkey was the next to arrive. He related the same story.

Dies Almost Outright Bleeding from the mouth and nose and with the common carotid artery in his neck severed by the cartridge, which had entered his neck on the right side just below his chin, Griffith lived for a few minutes only. The bullet remained in his head. Dr. W. H.

Robinson, of, Roaring Spring, was called to give the injured lad medical attention, but by the time the doctor arrived the boy was dead. Mr. Griffith, the father, i was apprised of the shooting at 4 o'clock and hurried to the camp to learn how the accident happened. Later the body was brought here to the undertaking parlors of Lafferty and Tobias, where it was prepared for burial. Mother Is Dead The tent had been pitched on the Smith farm, near Newry, and the boys' intentions were to return to their homes in this city last evening, after they had finished their swim and had eaten supper.

The dead boy, who was next to the youngest child in the Griffith family, was born at the Broad avenue ad dress. His mother is dead. Besides his father, three sisters and two brothers survive: Mae, Edna and Marie and Samuel and Robert Griffith. He would have entered the Al toona High school this fall as a freshman. fflffl CONTESTS DISPOSED OF AT CONVENTION (From Pojte 1) asked that the four delegates-at-large, the delegates from the Fourth, Fifth and Tenth districts, and Ray G.

Farringtonl of the Seventh district, be unseated. Z. H. Austin, a member of 'the Democratic state central committee, joined in the petition but was not 'present In person before the committee. Representatives of the certified delegates responded that the contested county delegation had been passed upon by large majorities in the state convention.

L. W. H. Hodges, committee member from Louisiana, suggested that "the internal political squabbles of Minnesota" were not within the jurisdiction of the national convention, and a motion to dismiss the contest carried almost unanimously. Seat Jndire Burke 6 The Oregon difficulty, viewed bv the contestants as involving the organization of the delegation and to a large degree the McAdoo fortunes in the Oregon balloting, resulted in the seating of Judge T.

C. Burke as alternate for Frank S. Myers, of Portland, as delegate-at-large. Miss Clajre Pierce, daughter of Governor had been certified by the state central committee as Myers' alternate and the contest was on the question of with whom rests the power to name the alternate.

The Home of Liberal Credit riably stimulates enterprise. It also tends to advance the marxei vaiue nf securities. Mergers of moment may prove a fruit of an abundance of loanable' funds during the coming six months.

We are beginning to hear about "unemployment." The truth is that unemployment at tnis moment i well below normal. And as for wages, their total purchasing power, taking the country as a whole, has not decreased, because the general price level has fallen. An" authoritative compilation shows that wage earners are fully 30 per cent, better off than they were before the war. Our farmers will be able to use all the men industrial centers can spare. The number would not be large, to say the least, should the pessimism which has prevailed during 'recent months veer towards optimism, a not improbable development.

To sum up, the outlook for the second half of 1924 doesn't encourage one to become a bear on the United States. (Copyright, 1924, by B. C. Forbes.) TRANSFERS OF REAL ESTATE Rose A. Enzbrenner and husband, to Frank and Elena Laurie, his wife, 1808-1810 Seventh avenue; Altoona, $5586.13.

At the suggestion' of members who expressed the fear that the conven tion will be a long one the committee recommended that all speeches in general debate be limited to thirty minutes and that all seconding steeches be limited to five minutes. A proviso was added that this rule might be changed by unanimous con sent of the convention.

A proposal to limit nominating speeches drew little support. Although there was almost an entire lack of sentiment for changing the two thirds rule, there was considerable support for making it apply so that to nominate a candidate a full two thirds vote of all accredited delegates would be necessary, but this proposal was dropped when it was argued that no body of delegates, if they left the convention, should be permitted thus to tie up the procedure. Too, it was declared that to require a two thirds yote of all accredited delegates would be a distinct departure from customary parliamentary procedure and that such a thing might be held to be illegal.
