Joan Lowell and her father, Nicholas Wagner, retired sea captain, photographed by the Morning Call in their eoiy home near New Hope. The young woman, who overnight but a few months ago became nationally famous for her book, "The Cradle of the Deep," now has quit the sea and with her skipper is located permanently in Pennsylvania "God's Country," as they call it. Jack, one of her many pets, completes the happy picture with its background of a great old fireplace. The home Is a splendid example of early American architecture. Its beautiful panelled interior woodwork is suggested in the picture.

50 cents a share higher in the last three days, gaming only 25 cents today. On the basis of the latest balance sheets, the new company is. second only to Standard of New Jersey among American concerns. The Royal Dutch Shell group is still the world's largest petroleum organization. The consolidated company will have a total book value of about $1,000,000,009, of which approximately one-quarter will be contributed by Vacuum.

Standard of New Jersey's balance sheet at the end of 1929 listed assets in excess of Its 1930 balance sheet Is not yet available. MID-WiNTER CHASE AT NORTH END CLUB JOAN LOWELL TELLS WHY SHE LIVES IN PENNA. (Contlnusd from Page Five) that is early American and at New Hops she saw an opportunity to purchase a fine old dwelling In which her collection of early American furniture and antiques would have an appropriate setting and background. In the old stone home, wltn walls 18 Inches in thickness, there ara great fireplaces In which logs of Yule proportions can be burned. The rooms have beamed ceilings with timbers and all woodwork fashioned by hand upwards of two centuries but still in perfect condition.

The Interior woodwork Is of elaborate par.qllins, with natural finish. The floors are of wide boards, adze-hewn but -smooth as though machine-planed. Large windows admit abundant light and there is an air of cheerfulness and charm befitting the character of the woman who galvanizos every group wilh her eplrited personality. With the early American furnishings she has put into this pretty home are many trophies- and reminders cf'that liie upon the sea which Eh3 has narrated in such lively and engaging fashion in her book "The Cradle cf the Dsjp" and which immediacy became one cf the "Best -'Sellers" and continues to have unbounded popularity. The various rooms of the house bear the r.amss of parte of the ship which have similar functions.

Thus the, kitchen is the the living room Is the cabin. Upstairs a ftencilsd design informs a visitor that this is the captain's rnom and here Joan's splendid old da skipper of sailing vessel days, is surrounded by trophies and relics emblematic of his position. His sextant ts hung upon the wall. Upon- a bureau is a fine chronometer while in the corner of the room is the wheel. "Jean's always been my mate" say3 the skipper, "and so the door to her room bears tho inscription ALLENTOWN.

330.534; State, whole milk flats, fresh fancy to fancy special 18-18; do. held Union Stock Yards By FRANK E. MOORE (Copyright 1931, The Morning Call) Livestock UNION STOCKYARDS, CHICAGO, Feb. 7. CPA No trade consequence occurred in the livestock markets today, except in the hog division, where further weakness wsa apparent.

Packers reported that the past week had shown some broadening in demand for leading meat lines but as yet prices have rot reflected the improvement. Demand for beef continues curtailed owing to its relatively higher price. Hogs Out of 15,000 hogs" in today's run. were direct to packers. Hardly enough were on sale to make a market.

Quality was plain and demand weak. Most hogs sold at 10 cents lower than Friday with the best lights at $8 and the bulk of light and medium weight butchers at $7.50 11 Tnv ioP Ior heavy hogs was $725 and most of the big kind went at $6.75 to $7.10. Packing sows sold at $5.75 to $6.25. Prlcea are 10 cents under a week ago. Cattle Only 200 eattla arrived so that trade was only nominal.

During the week supplies totalled 41.000 compared with 35,000 a week ago. The increased hupply occurred early in the week and caused a decline of 25 to 50 cents in prices of steers. Later the loss was recovered on all stuff of Quality. Best cattle sold at $11.75 with the bulk at $9 to $11 and common short fed stuff at $6 to $9. The market for cows and heifers, dragged all week while bulls were sold slowly and 25 cent lower.

Calves lost $1 during tha week. Sheep Most of the 7.000 sheep went direct to packers. The market was quiet and steady. Demand for lambs was slack all week in spite of a smaller run of 67.000. Prices were down 50 cents compared with weeA tn co'e beat lambs brought $8.85 with the bulk at $8 to $8.75.

Feeders, sold at $7 to $8. Ewes were unchanged. Wall StreetFeatures WALL STREET. NEW YORK, Feb. 7.

(CPA) Market Movement Sidewise The stock market movement is more of a side-wise character than up or down. Averages change very little from day to day. This week the net Improvement has amounted to a- little over a point compared with between 8 and 9 points the week previous. Market commentators indicate that the list has approached the high average of January six times and has failed to go through that average. This is regarded as bearish and as an indication that resistance In the form of liquidation and short selling is being made and that eventually this will lead to still heavier selling.

On the other side of the account li the remarkable resistance of stocks to all kinds of unfavorable news. Sentiment today was that with the fairly definite indication there would be no extra session of congress and that a moderate bonus bill will be passed, a constructive situation of much importance has ber established and that prices next week u.ll reflect It. Bank Loans Although brokers' loans have been falling steadily for over three months and are at the lowest total since 1924. attention is being called to the fact that the loans on collateral by the banks are still heavy, amounting to $7,000,000,000 among members of the federal reserve system, and that further reductions In such loans must be made before the situation entirely clears tip. Progress In this direction has been made quite rapidly of late, with $445,000,000 in bank loans eliminated during January alone.

Food Stocks The relatively good showine of food stocks last year has brought them into favor, with the additional factor to their credit that they give a fairly good return. National Dairy Products, which is new proposing to extend its field into the western territory: Standard Brands, which today reports earnings in 1930 of $1.21 a share: General Foods. National Biscuit and Looje-Wlles are being accumulated by investors and have been popular with the fixed trusts. Republie Steel The trials of the iron and steel manufacturers last year are illustrated In the report of the Republic Steel Corporation, which showed a net income of $1,357,769 for the first quarter of the year, net profits of $285,472 in the second quarter, a deficit of $1,740,509 in the third quarter and a net loss for the final quarter of $3,524,735. These losses compelled the company to pass dividends on common and preferred stocks during the year.

31, REPORTS OF THE REALTOR ACTIVITIES (Continued fromPageTwenty-three) general legal structure, equipment and cperaticn, management policies, and economic soundness of the project as a whole. The service can be had at any stage In the erection of an apartment house from initial plans for the project until the structure Is completed. By giving expert attention to the planning of a building and to getting from it the best possible rental space it is possible to add to the rental area and the prospective income as much as $20,009 a year, according to Mr. Slosson. "Such a consultation will doubtless save apartment building owner three or four times the original cost of the consultation," he said.

At the recent Chicago meeting of the executive committee of the Property Management Division, it was brought, out that use of the National Association's consultation bureau for cooperative apartment projects had resulted In a $40,000 saving in Initial cost in one single instance. The procedure for the consultation service follows the same lines as for the advisory service. For the advisory service a minimum charge of $750 will be made, to which actual costs of any necessary surveys, preliminary studies and preparation of essential material, as well as per diem fees to members of the advisory committee and traveling and hotel expenses of the committee members, will be added. In the case of the consultation service the fee will be computed on the value of the land and building In question. The charge will be one-half of one per cent on the first million dollars of value, and one-tenth of one per cent on any amount in excess of a million dollars, with a minimum fee of $1500.

Additional per diem fees and traveling expense provisions are the same as in the case of the advisory service. Index of Activity Goes Up The monthly index of real estate activity for the country as a whole, comDiled bv the National Association fof Real Estate Boards from official reports of deeds recorded, registered at 68.9 for the month of December.

7th 8U Has Sufficient Strength to Maintain Present Levels. Future Uncertain By LEONARD J. REID LONDON, Feb. 7. (CPA) In summarizing the British situation it is necessary to distinguish sharply between the temporary technical monetary success of the Bank of England's tactics aimed at arrest of the gold efflux and, by contrast, the complete lack of confidence in Britain that Europe is near economic daylight.

An open market discount rate pegged artificially at 2 7-16 per cent sufficed to attract foreign balances here and to protect the pound, but the relatively large discount on sterling for future delivery suggests that the future position is more precarious. Furthermore, a fresh fall of ZVx per cent in the economist's wholesale price index during January confirms the lack of signs of any upturn in trade, while protracted negotiations for wage reductions on the railways and in the engineering trades and also the continuation of the Lancashire cotton-weaving industry stoppage emphasize the difficulty which confronts the effort to restore British costs to a satisfactory ratio in relation to an economic selling level. Finally, even supposing a successful restoration of our lost balance between costs and prices, the crux of the difficulty remains. The world agricultural depression Is restricting the purchasing power of customers for the products of every industrialized European country. The strain thus imposed upon the whole economic structure may still have further far-reaching effects, Germany complicating the situation.

While London Is increasingly impressed with the progress of industrialization in Russia, the question Is asked: Will not intensified Soviet dumping defeat all attempts to eliminate The stock exchange is holding its ground surprisingly well but It showing increased susceptibility to sudden waves of nervousness; for example, the slump in the gilt-edge section Thursday afternoon following fantastic rumors of a big government loan. The real source of nervousness is the financial situation. Including the probability that the difficult budget period will be preceded by propaganda by Interested parties of a bearish nature. Given freedom from higher money rates, however, there Is sufficient underlying strength to maintain gilt edge values at approximately their oresent level, but there is no likelihood of a resumption of the previous upward movement. The most hopeful Immediate feature is the improved feeling on the European continent following the 'recent meeting of the League of Nations council, which sensibly relieved political tension.

The bride, who is 24 years of age and the daughter of Mr.

and Mrs. Joseph Wirth, was formerly a stenographer In Mr. Van Wagenen's office in this city. She has been prominent in the activities of the younger group In St. Peter's Lutheran church and a member of the chotr.

Mr. Van Wagenen, who gave his age as 48 years, said that he was born In Buffalo, N. and that his first wife, Emllie Davis Van Wagenen, died August 23, .1929. He gave his place of residence as 719 North Twenty-sixth street. College Heights.

Following a honeymoon trip to Florida, remaining there six weeks, the "newly-weds will go to Tulsa, where they will take up residence. Van Wagenen, for many years senior member of the Insurance firm of Van Wagenen and StauSer, severed his connections some time ago upon his appointment to the post of manager for the Maryland Casualty company in Tulsa, Okla. The business of the firm he formerly headed in this city is now carried on by his brother-in-law and former partner, Clarence Stauffcr. The second Mrs. Wagenen, by a strange coincidence, has the same first name as the former wife of the Insurance broker.

The first Mrs. Van Wagenen received fatal injuries on the Liberty street pike in August, 1929, while on her way home to the College Heights section from the Lehigh Country club. Van Wagenen was arrested some time later and tried on a murder charge, but was acquitted.

Jumped to his feet: "Everything is all right.

That noise was Just part of the celebration in my honor." The excited crowd caught the Kumor and a nervous laughter ran through the audience. The spectators settled back into their seats and a few moments later walked calmly out the rear exits. Outside, where a throng had gathered to see their film favorites as they left the theatre, was a trasic scene. Fifty feet of Broadway was ripped open and blocks of cement scattered about. Windows up to the sixth floor in adjoining buildings were shattered and expensive automobiles of some stars blistered.

Mack Sennett. veteran producer of comedies, standing near the curb awaiting his car, escaped Injury but five spectators nearby were hurt. One may die. Twenty-five others received emergency treatment for burns. OBSCURE ARTIST ON ROAD TO FAME (Continued from Page One) hibits of Oldfleld's world which are now on display there Another exhibit is on display at the Albert Rullier gallery in Chicago.

Ships, old and graceful ones with great spreads of canvas, are Oldflelds' favorite subjects. And then come people. Irresistible, says the artist, are combinations of the two. "Landscapes?" he was asked. He dismissed it with a shrug for he has no use for them.

In the three-masted schooner Iouhe, Oldfield is going to Alaska in March for a three-months study of Norwegian cod fishermen toiling with the nets. Then he will return to his studio and portray on canvass something that has eluded him for years the spirit of men of the sea at their catch. 1 Oldfield was born In Sacramento, in 1890. His father, William D. Oldfield was a car and sign painter for a railroad.

His mother was an artist of sorts. A painting by her Just before his birth is one of his most treasured possessions. STANDARD OIL OF N. Y. MERGER WITH VACUUM (Continued from Page One) units of the original Standard Oil company.

This is the first time units of the original Standard Oil trust have sought to consolidate, in a measure undoing the work of partitioning the old company into thirty-three new concerns in 1911 and 1912, as result of proceedings under the Sherman anti-trust law. The stock market appears to have anticipated a favorable decision in the Vaeuum-Socony merger case, for Vacuum stock sold for $4.37 a share today, and $2.87 yesterday. The stock of General Petroleum corporation, formed as a Kolding company to effect the merger, advanced $4 a share today.

Second place went to Harry Arnold's "Flying an English dog, which was closely followed by George Wickman's "Frogen." Shortly after the fox was dropped for the free-for-all breeding chase, Albert Bachman's dog hopped the trail and won easily, coming in forty yards ahead of the pack-In addition to the chase the regular poultry shoot was conducted, the entries from throughout the county winning. -Al Krause captured first honors, John Rltter wa3 second and Ed Anthony, of Slatington, was third. The next chase to be sponsored by the club will be held on Saturday, February 21, all members being urged to enter their dogs in this event. COLUMBIA QUINTET WINS FROM ARMY NEW YORK, Feb. 7.
