LEAD

Demand has been good and also
greater than the supply. On October
Is the American Smelling & Refining
Co. advanced its price from 6.25c to
6.50c, New York, but this was not
generally known until the next day,
Oct. II. Previous to this the outside
market had nearly reached the higher
level. The advance by the leading
producer was not entirely unexpected.
The higher prices are largely the re-
suit of inability of consumers to get
their lead because of strikes which
have resulted in some competitive bid
ding for that available. Spot lead has
been sold at New York up to 6.25c.
Some business has been done since
the advance at 6.25c, st. Louis, and
more could have been done had there
been sellers. The shortage in produc-
ton, due also to strikes, and the schat
supplies, have resulted in very
strong market, which we quote at
6.25c, St. Louis, and 6.50c, New YORK.
ZINC
The market has continued to adj
vance, due largely to fairly good ex-
port demand and higher British
market, which has also been advanc-
ing. Inquiry from galvanizers is also
said to be better. Prime Western for

WATCH THE BLUE SKY" MEN

Investors have the same right to
know. who and what Is behind Sc
curity offered them as the pure food
law gives purchasers of food pack
ages as to their ingredients, accord
ing to Federal Trade Commissioner
Houston Thompson.
"Failure of the manufacturer to
live up to the pure food law may cause
one to take into his system poisonous
food, and the vendor may be punished
criminally," said Mr.. Thompson be-
fore the Senate Committee consider
ing provisions of a federal Blue Sky
Law "But if the purchaser does not
know what is behind a security it may
result in no food at all"
Mr.. Thompson declared that the
sum squandered annually in wild
cat" investments in America had in
creased to $5O0,000,000. He advocat-
ed that every person or firm offering
stocks or bonds to the public should
be compelled to print on all communi-
cation and literature the names of
the promoters and underwriters and
sellers of the securities with the
commissions or bonuses each receives
Investigation shows that unscrup-
ulous promoters are reaping a rich
harvest throughout the country. All
sorts of schemes have been devised to
induce investors to part with their
Liberty Bonds, War Savings Stamps
or indeed anything of real value fol
worthless promises of "a short roao
to big fortunes"
The investigation showed that pro-
moters are evading the State laws
controlling issue of securities by sell
ing Certificates of participation,
"lots" in oil fields, "leases" with con-
tract to develop the "oil land, and Sc,
cret formulas. Knowing they woulC
be unable to obtain State permits fol-
the sale of their stocks they have
seized on these evasions, working
quietly and ready to disappear at the
| first sign of legal prosecution.

TWO OUT OF THREE HUNDRED

If the safety deposit boxes in the
cities and the bureau drawers in the
country throughout the United States
could give up their dead stores of fake
securities, enough wasted money
would be disclosed to stagger the i'm
agination. If a man expects his
financial barrel to fill up, he has got
to stop the leaks in it. This is the
keynote of a message sent out by
William Mather Lewis, Director Of the
Savings Division of the Treasury De-
partment, to the twelve District Saw
ings Directors, urging them to i'm
press the wisdom of holding govern
ment securities.
Thousands Of people in the Unit
ed States are losing their hard-earned
savings every day because they lack
knowledge of financial dealings said
Mr.. Lewis. "Untold numbers of fake
scheme promoters and regiments of
investment sharks, because of this
popular ignorance, are pointing out
whose Liberty Bonds and War Savings
Stamps they hope to secure in ex-
change for beautifully embossed but
absolutely worthless stock certificates.
"These takers know the value of.
Government securities. They are
anxious to get them, for they figure
that they will soon be selling at par
and above. They know that follow
ing the Civil War the war issues Of
Government securities were soon above
par, and that there is no well-informed
person today who does not believe
that the Liberty Bond will sell well
above par, long before their maturity.
"But many of the sharper's intend
ed victims do not know these facts,
and so they trade the best securities
in the world for some wildcat invest
ment that promises high rate of in
terest. What their chances are for
getting stung is illustrated by the
fact that in Georgia out Of three nun
bred applications from a certain type
of company to sell stock in that State,
only two have been able to meet the
requirements under the blue-sky laws
and obtained permits.
"The other two hundred and nine
ty-eight are probably operating some
where where the going is better. Ii
the American people would give 70 the
matter of spending and investment
ten per cent of the thought they de-
vote to making money, the high cost
of living would be greatly decreased.
Reckless spending and foolish invest
ment are clements in the present sit
uation which can only be remedied by
the rang and file of our people.
GAS long as easy money is in evil
dence, the profiteer and the shark will
prosper"

A WIFE'S WIT

IMPROVED METHODS
BEING ADOPTED

Mining and industrial companies
have made great strides during the
last decade in the way of caring for
their employees, but 1t has renamed
for the international Nickel Company
of Canada to introduce a new de-
parture, in the form of three annual
Scholarships for a complete four
years course leading to degree in
science in the universities OF Toronto,
Queens or McGill. The scholarships,
which cover all expenses while at
tending the chosen university, are
awarded on the result Of competitive
examinations among the minor APP
prentices and sons of employees in the
mining and smelling division, which
has its headquarters at Cooper Cliff,
Ontario. The first of the annual eX-
aminations has already been held, so
that the successful candidates may
take advantage Of the coming aca-
demic year. 1t will be observed that
after the fourth year the company
will be paying the expenses of IL stu
dents continuously. so far as we
know, this gift is unique, but it is the
sort of thing we should have expected
from the International Nickel Com
pany, which has already blazed an
honorable trail for notably generous
dealings with it's employees and to in
crease their well-being. The effect of
this gift upon the ambitions Of its
workmen will be great, but we ven
ture to suggest that the effect upon
the mining profession may be even
greater Many Of the finest miners
and smeltermen we have today were
recruited from the ranks of what, for
better term, are often called 'prac,,
teal men. The school of hard
knocks develops character of kind
that is often denied those whose ear
lier years are surrounded by more lux
ury and less industry. Young men
who have toiled hard for their living
and who know the disadvantages of
lack of training, upon winning a
scholarship of this kind, will take up
their technical course with a full un
derstanding of its benefits, an ability
to correlate theory and practice, and
an energy that will not let slip any OPP
portunity for acquiring a thorough
! knowledge of their work. We would
advise those that tread the softer path
to watch their steps; it is probable
that in few years these lusty young
sons of the stope and the blast-fur-
mace will be looming large in the min
ing profession.--Mining and Scientific
