Worthy of Consideration


Question-Having 81, 600 to invest and Ma
tionai Acme and Transue & Williams having
been recommended to me. fifty shares Of
each, as good investment, any informstion
you may oe able to give regarding above
mentioned stocks will be appreciated.-C, J.
Answer-While the net earnings Of
the National Acme COMPANY for 1919
were below those for 1918. tha direc-
tors nevertheless saw At to increase the
dividend last month to IN per cent,
against a previous payment Of u per
cent. The company earned 938 per
cent in 1918. In 1919 for nine months
net profits were $2,339, ,ees, against
S4,281, 1872 for the corresponding period
in 1918. 1t has been unoficially stated
that 1920 earnings will show a large
increase. The capital is S25, 5,000,0 900,
par $25 a share. Transue & Williams
Stee! Forging Corporation showed
earnings for 1918 Of s5.l5 share on
100000 shares Of capital of no par
1888 share in the first six months of
1919, compared with $2.s4 for the like
period in 1918. Dividends of S.
share are being paid annually. We
would not class these stocks as good
investments, though they are worthy
of consideration if due allowance is
made for their speculative aspect.
Question-As my wife expects to have
about $4,000 to invest around March /
would like your suggestions as to suitable in
yestments Would like them to net around
per cent at least, if it can be done with
comparative safety. and think it can. Pos
sibiy two or three bonds. two or three pre-
ferred stocks (if you can conscientiously
recommend them for a woman. I think
could be done), and possibly two or three
short ,i term notes: that is the $4,000 to be
versiflcation: Would you recommend United
STATES Realty per cent bonds, Bethlehem
steel per cent preferred, New York Con-
tral Railroad &C. D. G.
Answer-The following bonds, notes
and preferred stocks are worthy of
consideration for investment: Southern
Pacific convertible per cent, 1929;
Atchison adjustment 4 per cent, 1895;
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul general
consolidated per cent, 1899; Wabash
first per cent, 1888; illinois Steel,
AZ per cent, 1910; New York Dock
first 4 per cent, 1851. These bonds
yield between per cent and per
cent. American Telephone and Tele-
graph s per cent notes, 1924; Cudahy
Packing 7 per cent, 1923; Proctor &
Gamble 7 per cent, 1922; American To-
bacco 6 per cent, 1928; notes yield
from GA per cent to over per cent
American Can preferred, Corn Products
Refining Company preferred, United
States Rubber preferred. Bethlehem
Steel per cent preferred, Virginia.
Carolina Chemical preferred stocks
yield about 7 per cent. The Realty
bonds, we believe, are not high enough
in grade for your purpose Railroad
stocks are too speculative until more Is

 Are You Legally Married?' is not a sensational film in the ordinary under standing of that word; it is a most digni- fled and artistic effort to acquaint the public with the tragic possibilities of a great abuse. It is admirably acted, intel ligently directed and has heart appeal ever uppermost that draws all who are fortunate enough to see it.
 The scenario is by Henry Christine Manick whose beautiful creations. "The Honor System" and "The Conqueror, D made so great an appeal some time ago. It is the duty of all men and women who are working for stabiity in the marriage relation to see it, and then,. too. your happiness and the happiness of. those dear to you may be caught in the net it so aptfS explains.

 Under these laws, the sanctity of mar riage becomes the merest farce comedy, and the dissolution of the 'tie" apparently easy and trifling, like the advertisement, You furnish the girl we'll furnish the home" might go a little further and in clude the inevitable divorce. But it is not so easy as it appears at first blush. Oh, dear, no. The supreme court of the United States is d little severe, particu- lar, more than the courts below, in the interpretation of the confusing marital laws. It,has a way of classifying compli- cated issues and of adjusting loose laws and of straightening out the imperfect work of state Legislation and even the errors of Congress- So in an endeavor to illustrate what the court has done to consolidate the divergent and numerous contradictory state laws, Mics Dobson and Henry Christine Manick have given to the world a picture play called Are You Legally Married?'
 It is not to be doubted that, when the lady congressman sees Are You Legally Maried?' on the screen, she will draft bill that will on it's passing the House, make the army of lawyers in this country heave a sigh of relief for today they all know that there is "something rotten in the State of Denmarks' and the picture elucidates not only what might happen, but what has occurred and is constantly with us as social and legal canker

A joint resolution has been intro duced in Congress proposing an amendment to the constitution giving Congress authority to enact uniform marriage and divorce laws through out the United States. The process of amending the federal organic law has been popularized Iately, as wit ness the swift progress making by the equal suffrage amendment and the rapidity with which the national prohibition amendment was ratified. It well may be that objections. which only a few years ago would have proved potent against the invocation of this process to deal with the divorce evil, now will have lost their strength. The chances for the adoption of the resolution by Congress and it's accept ance by the several states assuredly have been greatly improved.
 In the report Of the board of com missioners for the uniformity of leg islation of the American Bar Associa- tion of the United States appears the following:

A Pictorial Sensation With Leu Cody, Rosemary
 7heby and AM Sar Cast
A FOreWOrd to the Public

The title to, this pictorial sensation is chosen, not because it is highly sensational, but because it expresses very grave con- dition arising from our conflicting and chaotic martial laws, laws that are legiti- mate in one state and not in another state {; laws that vitally affect the very foundation of our American social welfare.
 The picture is complete departure from anything. yet offered to the screen, and car ries big theme, full of thrills, heart in terest that appeals and grips from the first to the last, and of highly dramatic value, today. It has been pronounced by the most brilliant, experienced and technically thor ough directors of cinematographic produc- tions to be one of the best moving picture materials in the United States today.

ARE YOU LEGALLY MARRIED?" is unique, individual and unusual photoplay, with theme entirely new to motion pie lures. It is probably the first and only pie )ture-story based upon an actual fact of law, as construed and handed down by the United States Supreme Court at Washing ton, D. C., point of law so drastic in it's effect that it is conservatively estimated that over 600,000 couples, living together as husband and wife, could be declared il- legally married and legally unmarried In addition, huge property interests would be questioned and titles would be taken from their present owners. This peculiarly in- teresting and amazing piece of justice is unmistakeably given us in the case of Had dock vs. Haddock, in the United States Su- preme Court and is upheld by practically every state in the union.

 With him is Holten, in disguise. He knows the value of the rich mining claims on the Brierly land and at tempts to buy them from her for s1,000. Not knowing the value of the money, she accepts 1t. But Layson comes on the scene and. finding out about the transaction forces Holten to return the money and tears up the deed.
 To get revenge, Holten tells Joe Lorey that Layson mas informed the revenue agents about his illicit still.
 I.orey immediately hunts for Layson, finds him and the two have a terrific hand to hand battle in which Layson is knocked unconscious. Iorey puts dynamite under him to destroy all traces, but his better nature will not allow him to set it off In the bushes watching is Holten. When Lorey leaves he sets fire to the fuse.
 But Madge Brierly sees the act from her home. There is a great chasm be- tween them. but she leaps on her horse to reach the man. Holten has wrecked the draw in the bridge, but she makes the daring leap and extingufshes the fuse.

 The social welfare of practically every community which such a tragic upheaval is made possible are clearly and most forcibly set out in this picture, which is full of human heart interest that has been neglected in so many of our latter-day films.
 Portraying its title implies. theme of so great an interest to every person in this country and be- ing based upon absolute fact of law with which only 50 per cent of the lawyers familiar, and creating situation unheard of in its drastic and tragic possibilities, it is wonder that the film is
