tain advantages over the sale of stock In the first place, as bonds
 can generally be sold at a better
 price than stocks, until all are con verted the company pays less for it's
 capital than if it had issued stock inn
 mediate1y. Thus had the Pennsyl-
 vania some years ago financed it's
 New York terminal extensions bv the
 sale of stock at par, it would have
 had to pay per cent. dividends on
 all the new capital from the begin
 ming: by using 1-2 per cent. conver- tible debentures the company ob- tained the use of it's money cheaply during the period when the improve ments were earning least. Incidental ly, more than fifty millions of these bonds were ultimately converted at figures at which it would seem diff cult or impossible to sell any con- sidera ble amount of new stock
 1 Prices on the strongest markets will 1 often break before a flood of new | stock, and it is plainly impossible to sell stock at price above the pre- vai1ing 4uotation for shares of the same issue already outstanding. On | the other hand, company may find 1 a ready market for bonds or notes
 carrying a conversion privilege at some figure several points higher. For
 instance, Goodrich per cent. 5-Year | Notes. issued this month when the stock was selling around 70, are con- | vertible into common stock at $50 a
 share. As the stock sold at S5 7-S 1 earlier this year, and above 93 in 1 1919, this conversion privilege is at | tractive to the investor and at the same time may ultimately prove l equivalent, from the company's stand l point, to a successful sale of stock :, at 80.
 | Companies whose stock does not enjoy wide market often find con vertible bonds particularly useful | Many prosperous concerns are little
 known to the general public; their l stock may be held chiefly by a small group which could buy but little | more, and it would be impossible to ! float a large issue, save at ruinous prices. By selling convertible bonds
 these companies find it possible to place their securities, perhaps through
 a dealer or syndicate with branches
 all over the country, in the hands of

VEIL WEARING
 A HABIT FORMED
 BY WOMEN

The wearing of veil is only a habit with a woman after all. When the fact of showing a woman how to wear veil is accomplished and proving to her that a veil adds so much to her appearance, then it is all up to the women what type of yelling she prefers. for nothing could dis courage her from buying; in other words, it becomes a habit that is rarely broken.
 In the lines shown thus far this season it is evident that there is still
 to be the influence of color in veils For instance, the colors that show the most activity are dark brown
 meshes with henna and blue chenille dots on them. Even the pale yellow dots and the deep gold are selling or these dark brown meshes, but they are not the ordinary dotted veilins that has been prevalent for the pas | season. The dots are made up into ] smart little designs set in designs 0.

Particularly when interest rates are high and the speculative spirit rife, it is hard to draw capital into fields where the return is strictly limited; as ana appeal to this specula- tive spirit the corporation gives it's bonds a convertible feature.

Tame WILD TRIBE

Kavali, Madras Presidency, India,
Jan. 10-Under the direction of the
British Indian Government American
Baptist missionaries are adapting oc-
cidental methods in educating and 9TH
erwise making good citizens of one of
the so called criminal tribes of India.
This tribe known as the Erukalas, is
made up of what in another country
could be called gypsies or brigands and
has been rounded up by the govern
ment into this region.
The wild men and women of the
tribe are being taught to work, and the
hoys and girls of the tribe are put in
school with other children of this place
The Criminals" as they are called,
number two-thirds of the enrolment in
the school. Exhibitions from time to
time of the work of the pupils brought
out a procession of the Erukalas, and
the sight of one of their children recit-
ing in a class was source of intense
pleasure.
So responsive have the Erukala boys

RIPE IDEAS
From the Man in the
Hole in the Ground
Editor Siftings:

Editor Siitings:
Isn't it fact that we, as u peo--
pie have an innate dread of trying
to do anything for ourselves? We
are always yelling for someone to
do this or do that-but we don't
seem to be willing to get out and
do a blame thing for ourselves.
Here we are all expecting big
things to happen to boom mining.
We read of the way capital is in
terested in mining. We know
that silver is high and bound to
stay high for years to come. We
have people come here to look up
mining properties. And do we
get them to bring their money
here and develop our mines? Or
do we knock our own game? Are
we afraid the other fellow will get
dollar or two and we won't get
any? If we are not in a position
to work our mines ourselves let US
turn them over to somebody else
at a fair valuation and give the
other fellow chance.
Another thing. DeLver people
and others will buy homes here
and are picking up bargains now.
But we who are going to stay,
why don't we fix up our property?
Give it coat of paint even If
paint does cost money. And let's
tear down the old dilapidaied
buildings we don't need. They
look bad Right on our nam
street we have buildings that are
no good toanybody and they never
will be. Why not tear them down
and clean up the premises?
We are going to have good times
here in Idaho Springs again but
we can hasten the day by all work
ing together aud loingasomething
instead Of waiting for somebody
else TO do it all.

The Battles of Peace

There are no drafted men in the
battles of peace; all are volunteers,
and today these volunteers are
needed in the worst possible way
to fight these battles.
The battles of peace are fought
on the ground of the human heart,
and in the field of our economic,
political, social, industrial and
national life.
The battles of peace are fought
by the individual far more fire.
quently than by the regiment or
the squad. They are fought every
day of the year, and often every
hour. They call for the grearssi
heroism and self con rol, and the
veterans of these fights are men in
the strongest sense OF the word.
''Peace hath her victories of no
less renown than war" Never
