through Your paper the difference be-
tween non cumulative and cumulative
dividend on preferred stock? Which
Is the safest kind OF stock to invest in d?
Can company continue indefinitely
without paying dividend on preferred
stock r. II.
Answer--N stocks pay
dividends only if the directors see lit
to pay them, and there is no accrual
dividends fran year 10 year. Cumula-
tive stocks are supposed to pay SO
much year. and if dividend is not
paid it is supposed to be made up in
future. Cumulative stocks are better.

a bad business period and fails TO pay
dividends there is always possibility OF
It's entering 4 prosperous period, when
it may make Up it's accrLals. \ pre-

basket Is, "lf the eggs are good and
the basket strong, how could there be
anything bcttcr?" Is this Il safe prin-
ciple to follow?
Answcr-Your friends ideas regard
Ing the safety of banks and trust COM
panies are held by many people. There
are comparatively few bank failures
only one national bank has failed
In twenty-five months. But you must
remember that the income return is
generally small, comparatively, and for
that reason we see no particular ren-
son why all of ones Investment should
be so made. Remember that banks and
trust companies are prosperous when
prosperity Is general, so there are
other Investments which together with
good bank stocks would increase the
average income return. The principle
you mention is not good one to fol-
low. Diversification of Investment Is
the sOuralcr method.
Question--If it is not asking too
much, would you advise re as to
whether the following railroads arc
earning their fixed charges from their
own income-~that is-outside of the
government guarantee. Chicago, Mil

tive poss Utilities at present prices? If

OF Baltimore q OHIO Railroad common
bought at 3d. Shall hold or sell it
and take my loss and invest in some
thing else, as i pays me no dividends.
What are the prospects of dividend
at an early date r. ii. w.
Ans~er.--Great Britain and Ireland
81. per cent bonds are good invest
ment, and the same may be said of
Steel preferred and Rubber preferred.
American Ie lephone and Telegraph has
done considerable financing OF late, and
We do not favor the stock as mucl, as
the three securities mentioned. We be-
iieve Baltimore & OHIO Railroad is
seeing It's worst days, and, while divi-
dends may not be resumed for some
time, nevertheless the outlook appears
more favorable, we think, because we
canrot believe legislation Will be en-
acted vhich viii rob road like Balti-
more & Ohio of its earning power.

Question-In buying securities for
investments and to receive income
therefrom, friend always confines
himself to bank and trust company
stocks. for reason he thinks that they
are more closely watched and scru-
tinized and are under strlcter govern
ment control, requiring them to be
more specific and more exact in max
lag their reports TO government than
any other class Of corporations or
business, ard therefore must be safer.
He also realizes that such stocks are
subject to double liability in case of
failure flrst--ls he correct in said
conclusions His answer to old say

Qucstion-Havc $500 to invest in
Allied Oil. Please advise if Allied Oil
is good stock to invest inc. L.
Answer-If you arc investing your
funds shares of most oil companies are
out of your field. Allied Oil appears to
be well managed concern, but it Is
speculative. Preferred stocks of good
industrial companies are better for
nure Investment.

Question: have managed to save a
few thousand dollars from salary rot
very large and try to be careful in IN
vesting it. What do you think Of Cities
Service Company s per cent preferred
tor an Investment, say ten shares? T..
W.
Answcr-Cities Service per cent
preferred is a good investment In our
opinion.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1919-11-09


that would be snfe for ono who knows
very little about stocks. Also what do
you think of tho United Kingdom of
Great Britain ga, due 1921 p. S.
Answer--At present rating on basis
Of earning power of three stocks is:
|. United States Industrial Alcohol;
II. Pressed Steel Car; III. American
Telephone and Telegraph. Par value of
each is SiG0. Alcohol pays l6 per cent.
or SIS per year on each share. Pressed
Steel Car and Telephone each pay 8
per cent, of So per year ON each share.
Dividends are never based on the mar
ket value of security. These stocks are
all common issue and dividends are not
necessarily stable. For real investment
we should suggest good preferred
stock, like U. s. Steel, Car & Foundry.
Y. S. Rubber, American Wooden, etc.
United Kingdom of Great Britain 5ia,
due 1921, are safe, In our opinion.

buying add to the wealth Of the indi-
vidual and the city.

hoG;e owner is q better worker than
the renter md keeps his position after
the renter is discharged.

TO Get Rid Of Ants.

Powdered borax sprinkled around
the infested places will exterminate
both red and black ants. Powdered
cloves are said to drive them away.
Another plan is to grease a plate with
lard and set 1t where these insects
abound. They prefer lard to anything
else, and will forsake sugar for 1t,
Place a few sticks around the plate fol
the ants to climb up on. Occasionally
turn the plate bottom side up over the
fire, and the ants will fall in with the
melted lard. Or, use q small amount
Of oil Of turpentine, run into the
cracks with an ordinary sewing ma
chine oil can.

Home Gardens Pay.

Garden work is health giving, e.
pecially for those whose occupations
are indoors. To allow land that might
grow food to lie idle is almost criminal,
in this war-impoverished world. The
products Of the garden are simply in
dispensable to wholesome dietary.
When home grown their quality must
be better than any that can be bought.
Next year should see further in

FuRS ALMOST
Beyond REACH
Ht9h Prices Will Force MANY to
Give Attention to Their
Substitutes.
PONY SKINS MAY COME BACK
Nshatsver Happens, Il Cannot Be De-
MED That the Garments Of Nat
ural F urs Are tho Most sump-
tuous of RHcsnt Toars,

O1 course we are appalled, at the
Nfemendous cost Of even the smallest
pieces Of fur, but when the manufac-
rurers tell us that the cost Of making
ts equal practically to the cost Of the
skins We must bow to the inevitable
and pay Il we can. Because Of the
peculiar conditions which exist In the
fur world, we may look for great
vogue In the plush, velvet, astrachan
and other materials which may be
called near" fur, as they give the
same degree of warmth without cost
ing anything like so much. Even pony
skins are likely to return, it is limited,
;and the so-called caracul also, writes
Martha Goode Anderson in the New
Sun.
1t will be recognized at glance
that many Of the new garments are
really triumphs Of the furmakers' art,
for the Soft and exquisite grace of
many OF the moleskin wraps would
alone prove this assertion if those of
no other pelts were considered. Be-
cause Of the small size of the soft
and velvety mole the makers Of wraps
= of this rodent have achieved a beau
tiful result by blocking the skins in
squares, which presents handsomely
shaded surface. This effect is attain
ed by the use of hot irons which
mark the skins in squares or rows,
running now and then along the bot
tom of the long dolmans and capes.
One of the handsomest Of the mole
skin wraps is made up in a dolman
effect by outlining a yoke across the
back. From underneath this yoke the
hack Of the wrap falls in rather far
ing lines quite to the edge Of the skirt.
= An enormous collar of the shawl type
folds over the yoke in the back and
extends quite to the waistline in front,
where it fastens with huge fur but
ton. There are no sleeves, but long
and deep Sits at the sides for the
arms. Inside the lining is of the
handsomest and most beautiful of
ttesh-pink brocaded satin, with ample
pockets fitted at the sides. OF course
such sumptuous wrap is intended
for only sumptuous wearing, so to
speak. Its cost is close to 81 900,
while companion coat of mink as
soft as baby's skin is we'll over |$2,-
600. There is story going the rounds
Of a certain newly rich lady who
