Dividends Break All Records During '57; Little Change Seen By ELMER C. WALZER United Press Financial Editor New York TP) Dividends in 1957 of American corpora tions broke all records in his- s-ggmimtimwm tni-ir anrl it is being predict ed they will b e little cha n g e d in 1900. Such pre diction, made today by Stand a r d & Poor's, is seen Elmer Walzer as the best news the bulls have had in many a moon. Most of the earlier prog nostications anticipated lower dividends because of a pinch on profits that has been de veloping for some time. Standard believes, howev er, that with less pressure on cash positions from the re quirements of inventory ac cumulation and plant expen ditures, corporations may well stretch a point in their treatment of stockholders. For several years past as corporations have been ex panding with part of their earnings, the dividend payout has been "extremely conserv ative," according to Standard. Possible Rise "It could well rise by a few percentage points to permit the total of dividend pay ments to equal that of 1957," the firm concludes. It is a well-known fact in Wall Street that stockholders pay more attention to divi dend payments than .to any other phase of corporation's business. Many a corporation head will attest to that fact. If a Earth Closer Than at Any By FAY BENTLEY Strange as it may seem the earth is nearer the sun during the first part of January than at any other time in its 12 month journey around the center of our solar system. This is possible because the orbit or path followed by the earth in its yearly travel is not a perfect circle, but slightly eliptical or egg shaped. On Jan. 3, at 6 a.m. (PST), our planet reaches perihelion, or the point on its orbit clos est to the sun. At that time the distance between the earth and our nearest star will be somewhat less than 91 million, 500 thousand miles. On July 3, the earth will reach aphelion or the point farthest away from the sun. Then the distance between sun and earth will be ap proximately 94 million, 500 miles. "Why is the weather colder in January than in July if we are three million miles near er the sun at this time of the year?" people often inquire. Depends on Sunlight The season at any point on the earth depends upon the amount of sunlight that re gion receives. The more sun light the warmer the season. The axis or axle around which the earth constantly rotates does not stand upright in a vertical position' but is tilted at an angle of 23 de grees from the perpendicular. This inclination of the earth's axis never changes. As a re sult the northern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun for six months, March to Sep tember, and away from the sun for the . remaining six months of fall and winter. This slanting of the earth ANNOUNCING! Svem's Bonus Record Club Ask About It Next Time You're Buying Records At corporation cuts or omits Its dividend, the stockholders are sure to raise a howl heard far up in space. Chairmen of the board and presidents of com panies dread facing their shareholders at annual meet ings when the dividends have been slashed. And dividends also make or break prices of stocks, it is noted. If a company cuts the dividend, a few cents a stock often drops several dol lars a share. And the mere anticipation of lower divi dends could keep many inves tors out of the market. The Analysts Speak Wall Street analysts have been noting recently that the stocks with dividends assured are being bought from time to time in much better fash ion than companies where the payments seemed in doubt. Standard & Poor's in arriv ing at its dividend prediction took into account the prospect of a sharp recovery in the second half after business dipper further in the first half of 1958. Even corporate profits are expected to make a good showing. Standard estimates the earnings on its 425 indus trial stocks used in its index will be $3.55 a share, against $3.67 in 1957 (estimated) and $3.53 in 1956. Earnings on these stocks amounted to a mere $1.30 in 1929. Standard places the divi dend payout on these 425 companies at $1.95 a share, against $1.94 estimated for 1957, and $1.95 paid in 1956. To achieve this companies will have to pay out 55 per cent of net income in divi dends. fo Sun Now Other Time is a most important factor in determining the hours of day light for any region on the earth's surface. During Jan uary, in this latitude, the sun averages slightly less than nine hours per day above the horizon. In July, there are more than 15 hours of day light. Then, too, in January, again due to the earth's inclination on its axis, the sun's rays touch our part of the earth at a much greater angle than in July. The greater the angle or slant at which the rays of energy strike the earth, the smaller is the amount of heat generated. So, paradoxical as it may appear, we in the north ex perience winter while near est the sun and summer when farthest from the sun. t Variation in Distance This variation in the earth's distance from the sun brings about other seemingly con tradictory results. During the last of December and the first of January when every one is talking about the "short days," we are actually having the longest days of the entire year. True, we are having the least amount of daylight, but astronomers consider a day to be the time it takes the earth to make one complete rotation or turn on its axis. The earth travels fastest when nearest the sun and slowest when farthest from it. This effects the length of time re quired for one rotation. At the beginning of win ter when the earth's orbital speed is greatest, our day is about 24 hours and 27. sec onds in length. In July, when the earth -is traveling at its slowest rate of speed, a day is several seconds shorter.
