How do other wives feel about such
things? But Of course one cannot
generalize.
There are wives who know their
husbands not only have had amours
by the score In the past, but have
plenty Of present ones going on mer@
rily all the time; yet they resolutely
shut their eyes and, like the ostrich
with its head In the sand, feel safe
because they do aot see the danger.
Such wives often get credit for be-
ing noble and wise call them weak
or selfish. They are afraid to look
facts fairly In the face. They would
avoid knowledge because Of the PEN
atty It carries. They are willing to
be one OF a harem, SO long rs they do
not come in contact with the other In
mates. They either have no self.
respect or consider self-respect mat.
So long as they can masquerade a.
successful wives they are satisfied to
compromise with their own souls.
On the other hand. there Is the
wife who goes SO far to the other
extreme that she can face proof OF
her husbands unfaithfulness, like q
case 1 read Of in the newspapers.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, April 21.--The
stockholders of the New York, New
Haven & Hartford Railroad Company
to-day reelected thirteen of the present
directorate of fourteen, added Presl-
dent E. J. Pearson to the board, from
which he retired when he became Fed
eral manager of the road, and put
e-President Benjamin Campbell
in place of Arthur E. Clark, the COM
pany's secretary, who had been serving
The other action was to authorize
the officers to act in all questions and
matters relative to the use, control
and operation of the property by the
Federal government; to authorize

Walker ID. Hines, covering ALLEGATION
of rolling stock at q cost not to ex-

equipment trust certificates not to ex-

President Pearson said that business
of the company since the armistice was
signed has been increasing. contrary to
the impression that a slump would
come. Industries have been expanding,
he said. The New Haven road, Mr..
Pearson said, was sure to benefit by
these engagements, and it will be
under obligation to build to meet this
expansion in business.

possible.-T. X. w. -
Answer-Although we see no reason
at present to expect a reduction in the
dividends on the stocks you name. we
90 not as rule recommend the pur-
chase of common shares for investment
purposes because earnings are liable to
huctuate, with the result that there
might be change in the rates at which
disbursements would be made. The
General Motors debenture stock is en-
Titled to fair rating at present. The
st. Louis & San Francisco prior liens
are very fair bonds, being a first mort
gage on large part of the property
and followed by other liens on which
interest is paid and earned at present.
Rather than choose common shares we
think you would do we'll to look over
the list of seasoned preferred stocks

Settlement in Stutz

date in Controversy

Efforts to effect settlement of the
snort contracts in Stutz Motor shares
through the medium of an arbitration
committee consisting Of bankers have
n.ot.yet met with success. In view of
the unwillingness Of several bankers to
serve in this capacity the suggestion
was made yesterday that the contro-
sersy in which Allan A. Ryan is the
central figure be put IN to the arbitra-
ton committee of the Chamber of Com
merce for adjudication.
Although it was understood that the
Morse protective committee held
further conferences with the Stock Ex-
cnange firms representing the short
sellers, no formal statement was issued.
At Mr. Ryan's Office it was said that

Turning Attention to Stocks

Question: have about $4,000 which I
would like to invest in some good paying
stock with future an investment My
past savings l have invested in war savings
stamps and United States Liberty bonds,
which intend to keep. as I know that they
are as good as gold. A friend has asked me
to buy National Leather of Boston and
Swift international. He says he has about
$4,000 invested in National Leather and
$4,000 in Swift International whith he
claims pay good dividends, with a good
future as an investmcnt.-H. B. S.
Answer-For permanent investment
purposes we do not recommend common
stocks, as rule. Such issues reflect
the earning power of the companies
from time to time. When earnings are
good dividends are paid accordingly,
in most instances, but when earnings
fall off dividends are usually reduced.
For investment purposes you would do
we'll to confine yourself to securities
offering a fixed income earned several
times over. Among these are good
bonds and high grade seasoned pre-
ferred stocks. Both National Leather
and Swift international are earning
we'll at present, but we regard the
stocks as speculative

Normal. Saws s'Iron Age''

The steel industry, especially in the
Pittsburgh and Youngstown districts,
is recovering slowly from the railroad
tie-up, according to the latest "Iron
Age" Production in the Pittsburgh
district Tuesday was about SO per cent
normal, while at Youngstown few of
the twenty-five furnaces were going.
Recovery from the Generalization of
the previous week is not expected for
several days, "The Iron Age" says. Buy
ing has been curtailed because manu-
facturers using pig iron and rolled
steel have been forced to shut down
for lack Of fuel. Gradual return to
normal of delivery of fuel and steel
supplies will improve the situation.
Scarcity has caused an advance in
blast furnace coke from $40 to s11 a
ton. Cast iron pipe prices have ad-
vanced 81 a ton

situation, according to 1.-THE Iron

New Jersey should issue 500. 900 Of /
per cent preferred stock, as recently an
nounced it may do at par. will it be a safe
Investment for any one who does not want
to run great risk, in speculative sense :?
The 7 per cent preferred stock issued by
this company last fall is quoted now above
par. Win this be as good. in your opinion :?
Are the recently issued equipment trust
certificates of the New York Central Rail
road Company, per cent. to be retired in
annual nstallments 1921 to 1895, a desirable
Investment at par?-H. w. D.
Answer-The Standard Oil of New
Jersey does diversified oil business and
has long record of large earnings
The new preferred stock would have
the same standing as the present pre-
terred stock, which, in our opinion, is
a good speculative investment 1t is
to be offered to common stock holders
after the issue has been approved, at
the rate of one share of preferred for
each share of common stock held, at
800 share. This does not mean that
the stock may be purchased in the open
market at that price. since it might
sell at premium. We regard New

Curb Stocks Drop
Under Pressure:
Oil Shares Weak
General Asphalt Declines

trials Resist Raid; Simms
and White Down Again

Stocks on the Curb market followed
the general decline on the Stock Ex-
change yesterday after a brief rally
before noon. Industrials were fairly
firm in soma Instances, out as rule
recessions marked the trading.
General Asphalt indicated the
average range. This stock opened at
80 and moved to IS as short stock was
covered. That there was considerable
short interest still in the issue, &C
cumulated during the decline of Is
points Monday, was indicated when it
eased off later and closed at BOZ, a
net decline of 81. There was some
liquidation in Allied Packers, with a
2 point drop to %. Cuban-American
Sugar, which recovered slightly Tues
day, sold off to "a.
Maracaibo Oil escaped the raiding,
apparently, for it held firm after re-
covering a ~ point reverse, and it
would seem that the recent buyers are
hanging on in the believe that i'm
pectcd as the result Of the trip of Of
ficials of the company to the South
American properties. Other oil issues
were weak, however, and reacted under
selling pressure. Simms eased off
under heavy trading and broke through

the day of points. White Oil failed
to withstand the pressure and yielded
point to close at 26A. Houston
Oil broke under par. International
Petroleum got under Tuesdays low
mark and closed at 34h, drop Of 8
points. Tropical Oil yielded y after a
slight advance. Nipissing, which had
escaped previous raids, felt the de-
preston and for the second time this
year dropped to 10. Merritt Oil re-
acted points.
Salt Greek Producers broke under
40 and closed at 1914, virtually 3
point loss. This company is said to
have acquired control Of the Wyoming
Oil Fields Company, holder Of con-
siderable property in the Salt Creek
field. Negotiations had been pending
for some time. In order to take over
the Wyoming company Salt Creek in
creased it's authorized capital from

Stutz Motors sold off for the first
time since it was traded in on the

Chemicals on Decline
Slump in Japanese Market
Causes Heavy Selling Here

On reports OF the closing of the
Japanese exchanges and the money
furry in Toxic prices of Japanese
chemicals have declined precipitately
on attempts Of holders to realize by
immediate sales of available material
in the New York and Pacific Coast
markets. Camphor, which sold month
ago at $3.50 pound, is being offered
at So, and even lower prices in some
cases. Soya bean oil slumped from 18
to Is cents, but recovered to Is cents
In the heavy chemical market specu-
lators are taking advantage OF the
scarcity Of sodium bichromate, due to
the railroad strike, and have advanced
prices. Sodium nitrate is scarce and
higher. All heavy acids are firm, owing
to shortage Of stocks.
American peppermint oil is quoted at
lower prices. OIL of lemon has declined
steadily in spite of the fact that quota
lions abroad are higher than spot
prices here. Citronella oil is advanc-
Ing, while orange, lavender and worm

British American Tobacco

Question-How much dividend does the
British American Tobacco Company pay on
the present quoted price (say 1923 a share)--
believe the par value is British pound
and what are the two kinds that are quoted :?
One seems to me to be the ordinary stock
and the other certificates. Ia there any pre-
ferred or bonds belonging to the same COM
pany? Do you estimate that it is fairly
good stock for speculation. and do they pay
any dividends in American or British money !?
Also, can you tell me little about Savoy
any Of the other oil stocks at about its
price for mere speculation? l see it has
good record of dividends paid for a number
Of years.-W. F.
Answer-British American Tobacco
Company, Ltd, has outstanding R4,5O0.-
600 Of per cent cumulative preferred
and 912,715,804 ordinary stocks, both
one pound sterling par value. The lat
ter is in the form of coupon stock. one
registered and the other bearer stock
There are no bonds. Dividends on the
intervals. On January 81, 1926, an
interim dividend Of 6 per cent was paid
for the year 19l9'20, along with final
dividend of per cent to holders of
coupons Nos. rs and 76. On September
80. 1919, coupon No. ID received an
interim dividend Of per cent Similar
payments were made June 80 and
March 81. 1919, and January 81. 1919.
Figured at 80 per cent per annum and
the pound sterling at 81, the dividend
would amount to about 1920 per share
year. The company is prosperous at
present, but how good a speculation
the stock offers we would not attempt
to say. The Savoy Oil Company has
not yet issued its annual report for
1919. When this is available it per-
haps will be possible to judge the
stock more intelligently. The report,
time this month.
