A Good Public Utility Bond

Question Il own twenty five shares
United states Steel common and thirty
to invest. What is your Knowledge or in
formation on Consumers Power Company
Series a ten-year bonds yielding about 7
per cent? How do they compare with
United states Steel preferred other in
Answer-The Consumers Power Com
pany general Z per cent 1880, of which
there are S5,000,0O0, are secured by
general lien on the property subject
to about s24 900 of prior liens. The
company operate in very lucrative
field in Michigan, owning up-to-date
equipment in the way of hydro-el electric
power plants, etc. The earnings of
the company have shown steady in
crease for the last eighteen months
and net earnings are more than twice
interest charges. We regard the bond
as a good one, offering as it does
very substantial yield. 1t is our opinion
that the we'll managed public utility
companies have better days before
them. This is already being manifested
by increased earnings over last year.
United States Steel preferred is a high
grade stock. The management of the
Corporation is Of the best. Millions
of dollars have been placed back into
the property out Of earnings. 1t is
q seasoned stock, having passed through
panics of various kinds, yet it has
always paid its dividends and with few
exceptions has earned them each year.
For investment purposes we prefer
stock of this character to the average
public utility bond.

Freight Rate Fight
In Pacific Predicted
Lines Out of Japanese Ports
Unable TO Agree on Sugges-
tion of L. S. Board

TOXIC. Aug. (By The Associated
Press MISREPRESENTATION of all ship
ping lines operating out of Japanese
ports, including Japanese American
lires, have failed to reach an agree
ment regarding the establishment of
standard freight rate for ocean traffic
as suggested by the United States Ship
ping Board. Shipping representatives
predict rate war in the Pacific unless
an agreement on rates is eventually
formulated
The United States Shipping Beard
representative, R. 0. Baker, who re-
Gently attended a rate conference at
Kobe has announced that if Japan and
other nations continue their present
policy of cutting rates the shipping
board will be obliged to take drastic
action.
The British, French and Dutch rep
resentatives refused to join IN q rate
accord without authority from their
home Offices. While the Japanese also
declined on the ground that they were
without authority from the company
directors they announced unofficiaIly
that they felt it impossible to come to
an agreement with the shipping board
until they learned how far the pro-
visions of the Jones shipping bill were
TO be carried out Mr.. Baker stated he
was acting on authority from Wash
ington.
1t is asserted that some steamers
leaving Japan are carrying freight at
from one to four dollars less a ton

Argentine Government 4s

Question-Kindly give me your opinion
of Argentine Government i per cent bonds
w. J. n.
Ansxer-Argentine 4 per cent ster-
ling b9Nds, on account of the deprecia-
tion of British exchange, offer, in our
opinion, rather unusual speculative in
vestment opportunities. Argentina
has always met her obligations regu-
larly, but consideration should be given
to the fact that political complications
may arise in any foreign land. We
do not imply that Argentina will be
confronted by this situation, yet it Is
well to consider before investing in
foreign loans.

Francs Hard to Appraise

Question-Do you believe the purchase
to be sound, figuring their rising very
strongly after the French loan has been
paid. off in October?-R. w.
Answer-So much depends upon the
ability of France to overcome the ad-
verse balance of trade that it is not
possible accurately to forecast the
movements of franc exchange. To be
sure, it has been announced that
Frances share of the Anglo-French
loan will be paid at maturity, yet
France is said to be negotiating for an
other loan. Our only reason for pur-
chasing francs would be because they
are so low that perhaps cheapness
would recommend them.

Why Endicott-J johnson Fell

Question-Kindly explain the reason for
the big decline in the price of Endicott-
Answer-The speculative market in
stocks has undergone considerable
liquidation during the last few weeks.
The earnings OF Endicott-J ohnson, ac-
cording to last reports, were very
satisfactory yet this seems to be a
market which pays but slight attention
to earnings. The price of leather has
declined and it may be that this COM
pany is stocked up with material at
higher prices. The stock enjoyed rise
when speculation for the rise was
keen, and with the feeling that com
modify prices have seen their highest
point considerable selling has taken
place. The Tribune has repeatedly ad-
vised against the purchase Of most
common issues for investment pur-
poses. Such stocks are highly sensi-
tive to earning power.

Brothers Decide on Liberty Bonds

NturStlON-My Two Dr0tnerS ana myself.
all Of us ex-service men, have decided TO
invest most Of savings in Liberty
bonds. Kindly advise which issue in
your opinion is the best to buy. Its dura-
ton and Yields. w.
Answer-You are pursuing a wise
course in purchasing Liberty bonds.
These are abnormal times and in con-
sequence United States government
bonds are selling at the lowest prices
in generations. One obligation of the
government is as good as another. 1t
all depends upon the duration of your
investment. If you care for a long
term bond you may buy the first AZ
per cent. the second AZ per cent or
the fourth Az per cent Liberty bonds,
the yields on which are 5.24 per cent,
5.44 per cent and $50 per cent re-
spectively. If you care for medium
maturity the third 414 per cent Lib
erty bond, 1923, may be purchased to
yield 6.02 per cent. For temporary in
vestment the Victory 4a4 per cent, due
1923, yields 6.35 per cent. 1t should
be remembered that these yields are
figured if held to maturity.

DETACHABLE LINING IS NEW
Continuance for Interior Of Gowns NOT
Regarded as style, But First AID
to Sanitation.

You may wear a detached air TINS
spring, but to be really smart you must
wear a detached lining to your frOck
as well, notes a fashion correspond
ent. Not smart In the chic sense Of
the word, of course, but downright
clever, for though one of these new
detachable Innings won't add much in
a stylish way to your.gown, as iirst
aid to sanitation. hygiene and time
conservation they have no equal.
Just Imagine the delight and relief
when the lining Of your perfectly good
new frock has become bit soiled to
detach It deity and airily from It's
mornings and nonchalantly toss 1t to
the handmaiden who presides over your
weekly wash board and industriously
rubs her way through your entire ward
robe. Then, when she has had her
way with it and it returns to you a
bit worn but pure, you fasten it quick
" in place inside your gown again and
presto! all is as good as new.
Surely everyone but the dry cleaners
are due to hail these detachable Innings
with JOY and rapture and attach them
selves with great dispatch to lining
that will thus detach.
Made of heavy washable silk they
can be obtained cut to any measure and
can be adapted TO any type Of dress
Just for good measure they even come
provided with an extra pair Of sleeves
They certainly seem to- be mighty
good thing to get next to or at least
to get next to Won.
Yet another detachable note, prom
ises to enter into our spring fashion
able scheme of things and that Is thu
return OF the Alexandria curl, as the!
call it in London or the old janice
Meredith curl, as we knew it in day
Of yore. 1t is that one corkscrewe'
tress that is allowed to dangle intri
guingly over one shoulder from
loosely pompadoured couture. Ten t
one it is as detachable as the afore
i mentioned Innings, but to be firmly al
tached to- the scalp does not bar

FURTHER REDUCTION IN
LEAF TOBACCO REVENUE TAX

Representative Garrett, who is
still in Dresden at the bedside OF his
aged father, Mr.. Noah Garrett, re-
ceived on last Saturday another tele-
gram from Washington stating that
an additional two cents had been re-
moved from the leaf tobacco reven-
ne act of 1918, making the tax now
only 7 cent, whereas originally 1T
was 10 cents. Mr.. Garrett made
strong fight to have the entire tax
removed, so that dealers might again
embark in this business, selling leaf
tobacco direct to the consumer, but
he was successful only in getting III
cents removed. This means that
dealers to buy leaf tobacco from the
growers may sell the same in it,
natural state by the payment OF
tax of only Z cents, as against IL
cents under the original act, and
is predicted that again many lea
tobacco dealers will spring up owe
the country, competing with the to
bacco trust both in the buying ant
the selling of leaf tobacco.

TAFFETA STILL HOLDS SWAY

French lressmakers are turning
their attention to old-fashioned mate
rails as well as to oId-time designs.
This is evinced, notes a Paris fashion
writer, in the showing of spring ana
summer models in Paris. Never be-
fore has taffeta, very Old-fashioned
material, enjoyed such long and pre-
nounced vogue.
Fabric makers are improving tat
feta. The only real objection to 1t
in times gone by was that It's
stiffness made difficult the task Of
evolving graceful models. Now tar
feta is being made thin and SOFT
like satin, some Of 1t having a highly
glazed surface. Then it is being en-
broidered in various ways. Especially
interesting among the new taffetas Is
one that has a coin dot embroidered
in bright colers. eff*#
Paris is adopting these new taftetas
and great many mid-season model'
are being made of this fabric. A frocE
developed from aSquality known as Gil
amontine in a soft gray is embroidered
in raffia strands that are not dyed bu
treated by process of gIycerin lin
