New Auto Law to

automobile law will go into effect, and
its provisions will surprise many peo-

have not secured their 1920 licenses.
Radical changes in present condi-
tions are made by this new law, and
the provisions OF it are very strict
with large penalties for violations
thereof. 1t is believed that thefts will
be practically illuminated once the
provisions of this statute are com
piled with.

must be recorded with the county
clerk just as a piece of real estate,

I siped and out of the gossip came the

1 Not long ago when Vic McCandless,
county commissioner. OF Florence vas
coming home from the stock show in
/ Denver. he happened to notice a man
/ get on the train at Pueblo with a lrav-
cling bag which seemed to be leaking
little bit. Leastwise the bottom
seemed to be quite soaked
Being respecter of the law ard a
county official to boot. Vic got his sus-
picions aroused. so took the first op-
portunity to get a seat right behind
the bootiegger. because surely ne
couldn't be much else unless it might
be that he was a book agent and even
then his books were leaking and some
body ought to look after him.
The man had set the travelling bag
beside him toward the aisle, and when
opportunity offered Vic leaned Gown
to pick up a match and he heard .
eurele inside which listene.i like
liquid contents. Immediately his sus-
picions were confirmed. SO he wrote
out telegram on scrap of paper
and handed it to the brakeman. II
was dispatched at Swallows to the
marshal at Florence and stated that
he. Vic. had bootlegger in tow and
for him. the marshal. to board the
train at Florence and ride to Canon
City, at which point they would arrest
the bootlegger.
Vic kept his eye on the bootieGeer
all the way, and at Florence the mar
shall, in a calm and casual sort OF way
boarded the train and sat down beside
Vic After the train started Vic
pointed to the travelling bag and with
triumph in his eye. showed the minion
of the law that It was dripping con-
stantly, and that pool of the liquid
stuff had trickled upon the floor. The
minion felt convinced. but wanted to
be certain. so stuck his forefinger IN
the liquid collection and tasted it. A
note of triumph also came into his eye
and in order to have coroborative evi-
dence. he urged Vic to sample It. Vic
did so. and both men were convinced
that it was a most fiery sample of gem

Then. and not urfIf then. did the
sleuth get into action, but he covered
the territory awful fast after he start

ing bootleGger by the shoulder and.
backed up by Vic. he exclaimed in
stentorian tones: "You are hereby
placed under arrest for bootlegging."
There was not more surprised
man in the United States at that mo-
ment than the bootleeger. He was
so fiabbergasted he couldn't talk for a
moment. Just at the time when he
thought he was perfectly safe because
he had left the sharp-eyed sieuths Of

Answer-The Chesapeake & Ohio
general Az per cent bonds, due 1892,
are secured by first lien on 426 miles,
second lien on 802 miles and third
lien on 252 miles. They are not of the
highest grade, yet the road should, in
cur opinion, maintain itself, as it has
in the past, under the new operating
conditions. The convertible 41a per
cent bonds, due 1880, are secured, to-
gether with the first lien and improve
ment bonds, by third lien on 659 miles.
a fourth lien on 802 miles and fifth

gage bonds, but we regard them as a
very fair speculative investment issue.
The Baltimore & Ohio prior lien bonds
are secured By direct or collateral lien
on 1,o77 miles, being first lien on 7O2
miles and a first collateral lien on 375

Ans,wer-To place all your funds in

the Wlsest investment. There is a CON
slderabie element of speculation in
french, Italian and Belgian bonds be-
cause 1t remains to be seen how these
countries Will emerge from the present
crises IN their affairs. Of course, we
might resort to the old adage, Nothing
venture, nothing have" Many fortunes
have been built upon that adage. Yet
you must realize the speculative feat

countries have raised enormous sums
or money, the interest on which is a
rather staggering sum. High taxes
Will be the rule for many years to
come, IN all probability. AS for the
purchase of exchange on these coun-
tries, such transactions should not be
regarded in the light Of an investment
unless you arrange to deposit the vari-
Gus sums in French, Italian or Belgian
banks, as the case may be, in order
that they may draw interest for what

keep part of your capital in this form.
If you cannot afford to speculate we

the Minneapo market was unchanged to

were again an important feature in the
situation, and interior holders were In
c!ined to be reluctant about making offers
on this account. Weather conditions on
the whole were favorable, and the crop
appears to be making better progress than
it was short time ago.
Corn-The market was nervous and fever
ish during the day. but closed strong in
sympathy with the May position, which ad-
vanced to the highest point of the season
on active covering. Some authorities were
disposed to place bearish construction on
the financial situation and seemed to think
that most Of the buIlish factors had been
discounted. Receipts however, were again
small, and traffic conditions were. If
anything, less favorable, the trade could
see little probability OF any immediate i'm
provement in the volume Of arrivals. The
weather over the West again un-
settled, with considerable rain. but pr-
vate crop experts seemed to think that
farmers will endeavor 10 make up for the
losses in wheat and oats by planting
larger acreage of corn. The labor situ-
alton, however, Is a serious problem on
the farms, and some thought that it rs
very doubtful If much OF increase over
