COUNTY BOND ISSUE
FINAMCIERS SAY FEDERAL
GOT A BARGAIN.
T%ightness of Money Market Allowed

The checks for $1,000 each that were
enclosed with the bid on the S5OO,UO IS

mittee of the Board of Freeholders at It's
meeting late yesterday afternoon, were

S10e, COO lot, and the American Insurance
Company, whose bid was a little better,
also on a 500, 900 lot. at 1OO.25. The checks
were enclosed according to custom as a
guarantee that the bids were bona fide.
The bonds will be ready for delivery 10
the Federal Trust Company, the success
full bidder for the whole lot at par, on
August /.
Financiers and brokers who deal in local
said today that the Federal
Trust Company made a good investment
when it bought the entire issue OF SoC0,OOV
of Essex County bonds at par, for they
are confident that when money becomes
easier the bonds viii at once Increase
several points in value.
A few years ago issues of county bonds
were sold to New York and other outside
firms as high as 116. and there was SO
much competition Tor one issue that 10
brought a premium of liz per cent. II
the Federal holds its $780, 900 in bonds a
year it will be able to sell at a good
profit, for they are 5forty-year~ bonds.
There were only three bidders. all To-
cal, for the bonds at the meeting of the
finance committee of the Board of Free
holders yesterday afternoon. They were
the Federal Trust Company. the American
Insurance Company and Julius s. Rippel,
the dealer in local securities, who bought
the entire issue of Newark school bonds
reeently-$1 100, 000-at 101A. and who has
sold more than half of them at 1929 TO
103, and who also bought s1o0,0 600 worth of
East Orange municipal bonds.
He and the American Insurance Com
pany bid for only 100000 of the county
bonds each yesterday, but the committee
had decided that all the bonds must be
taken in a lump.
If only $500, 600 were sold the COMMITTEES
would have to advertise again for bidders
for the 100000. and par might not be
realized unless New York firms COM
peted in the bidding, or big local financial
Institutions competed. Therefore the Fed
eral Trust Company got the $780, 900 of
bonds at par.
The county needs the money realized on
the bonds for the construction of the new
buildings at the County Hospital for the
at Overlook. 1t was stated on the
page OF the EVENING STAR
last Saturday that the county would prob
ably get no more than par for the bonds
because of the stringency of money, not
only in this country, but throughout the

"CAFES ELECTRloUES."
Paris Restaurateurs Had Fun for a
Time with Their Patrons.

A very odd method of entertaining Gus
toners pertains for a short period III
some Paris cafes. These are known as
cafes electriques,' says the Detroit News
I ribune. In each one there was a large
metal counter In paying for his drink
the initiated placed his money on the
counter. and as he did so received an elec-
trio shock, which, of course stimulateo
him to quick and unprecedented action. !,
He would be told that he had bumped
his ~funnybone against the edge OF the
counter. Then, when he Insisted that ne
had received a shock. he was assured that
he had beer electrified by the charms or
the young women behind the counter. !,
When he look IN his change he received
a second shock, being all the more per-
picked by the fact that others iaid aown
their money and took up their change
without any visible Disturbance.
Later, perhaps, he would return, bring
ing with him an inexperienced friend,
whom. out of curiosity or mischief, he
would lead up to the counter. To his sur
prise, h now found himself immune,
though his friend started back the mo-
ment he touched the counter just as ne
himself had previously done.
When he had spent money IN the place
sufficient to entitle him TO confidence. the
pretty .demoiselle' who took the cash
would explain the mystery TO him.
At one end OF the counter would be a

Cooler weather IN the Southwest had a

Trade in oats was very quiet and the
market was easy because of the

ILLNESS INSURANCE.
Legislation on This Subject Proposed in
Holland.

According to The Hague correspondent
of the Chicago Daily News, the first inn
portant- measure Of the Ministry of Com
meree and Labor, instituted in 1905, has
been submitted to the second chamber of
the States General. This Is a bill for
sick insurance.
The principal provisions Of the Law are:
The insurance Is obligatory and comprises
all regular laborers. Those employed ir-
regularly are not included, for the reason
that the premium in case of default could
not be collected from the employer. Do
nestle servants, agricultural labOrers and
all those employed In commercial and in
dustrial undertakings are included. Sol
diers, sailors and officials are left out, as
they are already otherwise provided for.
Every lnborer ~regularly employed who
has reached the age of Is years Is obliged
to insure himself and family against the
risk OF Illness Those whose annual in
come Is higher than l,200 forms ($40S) are
not required to insure. AS members Of the
family are reckoned the parents, pare
ents-in-law aud grandparents, il they live
In the same house with the laborer. In
this particular the Dutch law differs from
the German sick insurance. which does
not rende II obligatory to insure the
workers family. The Insurance can take
place either In a district bank, Instituted
by the government and subsidized by the
State, or in any private or corporate In
Surance company, provided such Institution
shall give a sufficient guaranty to the gov
eminent of Its ability to fulfill It's obliga-
tons to the district bank. The premium
Is paid by the employer, who deducts the
amount from the workers wages. The
whole country Is divided into Insurance
gregatlon of more than 5000 people has its
own district insurance bank.
The indemnity In case of Illness con-
sists of free medicine, medical attendance
and a sick benefit II the illness lasts more
than two days and causes inability to
work. If the disability is complete 70 per
cent. of the wages is paid out; IL only par
tial So per cent. is paid. The compensa-
ton Is paid during $50 days at the utmost

H0MESICK.
Emotions of a Central Iowa Man in
Sunny Italy.

We stood on the pier In front of the
custom house at Naples. waiting for the

writes Booth Harrington in E~verybody's.
She lay inside the distant breakwater,
painting and relaxed after her long once
a-winter scoot from America TO the Med
iterranean; her passengers. detained on
board by the health officers, crowding the
landward rails like flies on a thin slice
of cake. There was a long wait, but the
February sky was clear, the air warm,
the sun jovial. And yet there sounded at
my elbow a note of sorrow and complaint
