National Lead

National Lcdu
AS of December 81, 1918, the Ma
tional Lead Company's surplus was
$16,659,907, which according to the
report is unappropriated. This equals
$83 per share Of common, or as much
as its present market price. After
a presumptive payment of all fixed,
current and capital obligations there
would still be left to the common stock
holders about $3S,0OO,0o0 of vasscts,
which in terms Of value on 2O6554
shares outstanding would approximate
$182 per share. Adding only $40 per
share of the general reserves, the
book value would come to more than
5000. In our opinion a higher market
level for the company's securities
would be quite logical, in view of the
excellent financial position and greater
earning opportunity.-Hirsch, Lilien-

MEXICO CITY, Dec. 6-The ap-
proach ofschristmas finds dearth of
toys in Mexico with no apparent
means for greatly increasing the sup
ply. In former years Germany has
provided unlimited number of grim
cracks which found ready sale here
but this source Of supply was closed
by the war. Other countries have
been slow in entering this field of in
dustrial activity. United States man
ufacturers have shown intentions Of
putting their toys on the market here
but the goods has not arrived in APP
preciable amounts.
The buyers Of toys in Mexico have
special liking for novelty design,
such as dolls that dance when string
is pulled. They prefer what is known
to the trade as the "active toy"

STUDY HEALTH
CONDITIONS ON
The Brazilian Coast From Para To
Rio De JaneirO. And Collect
Specimens OF Fish, Eetc.
Associated Press

PARA, Brazil, Dec. GA party o.
physicians, engineers and naturalist
sent by the Brazilian government ar.
rived here recently to investigate con.
ditions of health and industry. They
are to report on the sanitary ano
health of the cities and towns of the
Brazilian coast from Para to Rio d.
Janeiro, study health conditions o:
the fishermen of that coast, collect
specimens of fish and consider the
possibility of developing the fishing
industry.
The expedition is under the com
mand Of Captain FREDERICK Villar Of
the Brazilian navy who is journalist
as well as sailor, and is to be join
ed at Para by AN American scientist
DIR. Field, who has been engaged fol
this work by the Ministry of Marine,
according to the local press.
The government, it is said, plans
the installation of up-to-date housing
Accommodations for men engaged in
the fishery industry along the coast
among whom, according to DR.. de
Moura belonging to the expedition
there is much intestinal disease and
hookworm due to present living con-
ditions and entire lack of sanitation
Organization of this expedition is
in line with the intelligence manner in
which the Brazilian government has
been working for years past to i'm
prove the general health of the nation
These efforts have resulted in entire
iy eradicating the plague of yellow fe-
yer from such ports as Rio, Santos,
Pernambuco, Para and Manaos which
were once known as 'fever holes
dreaded by ocean sailors. The general
health conditions of the Amazon Val
ley have been improved beyond recog-
milton during recent years and yellow
fever is as rare today in Para and
Manaos as in New Orleans or Gal
weston. And malaria is no more pre-
valent here than in the southern part
of the United States.
The greater part OF the valley rs
now healthy, and the so-called "ma-
larial' districts could be made heal
thy, if attention were paid to the in
structions of the authorities in the
matter of living conditions, santa
tion, hygiene, food and clothing. AS
these regions are far from the cent
ers of population it is difficult to en-
force the public health laws.
The sanitary regulations today in
large cities like Para, Manaos San
tarem, along the main Amazon river,
are very strict. At Para there is a
rigorous examination and fumigation
of incoming ships from ports known
to be unhealthy and the public mar
kets are under daily supervision by
sanitary inspectors who are prompt
to condemn meat and fish not alb
solutely fresh. After the markets
close, about noon each day, the build
ings are disinfected and washed from
ceiling to floor.

Heretofore only three percent of the
business in Rio has been done by

Of it's customs which have remained

American blue jackets have dubbed
the town as "a nine o'clock town" for
at that hour each evening the streets
are practically deserted. Blinds are
drawn, taxicabs are unavailable and
night clerks in the hotels have settled
themselves comfortably for the nights
