BOND NEWS AND NOTES.
The state Bond Sale.

| Private statements by State authori-
| ties indicate that there will be filed a
prompt friendly suit to test the constitu-
tionality of the s10.00o,000 Of State
bonus bonds in the event that no syndi-
cate bids are received for the Offering
when tenders for it are opened at noon
tomorrow. Members of the four synd,-
Gates involved state that their group will
not bid for the 100000 900 of bonus
bonds. 1t has been noted that no writ
ten opinion declaring fatty that the
bonus bonds are constitutional has been
given out by State authorities. On the
other hand the position is taken by the
State authorities that the referendum
vote made it practically mandatory for
them to offer the bonds. Hence the ac-
tion Is sort of going through the mo-
tions affair
The report published yesterday that
the Comptroller. James A. Wendell. was
considering plan to offer the bonds
over the counter was vigorously denied
yesterday. There appears to be no in
tention to make an over the counter Of
| fering. In the first place. law and prac-
! tice do not countenance such a procedure.
and in the second such a step would
| have slim chances Of any degree Of sue
cess. The American Legion is exerting
political pressure on the State authori-
ties. but the final outcome. it is conf
| IDENTIFY predicted. will be a friendly action
to determine the constitutionality of the
project.
The tenders for the other sS1. 800. 900
of New York State bonds are expected
| to be satisfactory. but at price not
very much above par. There is the keen

/ fering. as much hangs on its success SO
| far as the s31.S00.0 900 is concerned.

Reorganixed Railroad Bonds.

There are certain shrewd investors
who will not touch railroad bond until
the road which issues 1t has been re-
organized. That class of investors fig
ures that after drastic reorganization
the road is better fitted for a prosper
Gus career and hence its bonds are a
better investment. In 1915 the Wabash
Railroad was reorganized and its funded
debt was decreased from nearly, $50, 900
a mile to about S26.500 a mile. That
drastic reduction in fixed charges has
placed the road I'm a very favorable
position. and its present earnings show
good Improvement over those of last
year. It's first SIS, due in 1889. are a

and brings the aggregate into new high

In New York alone the transactions

country a much larger total will be
recorded. On June l5 book entries will
be recorded for the subscriptions to

the same time nearly A15, ZOO. 900 Of cer-

taxes for the second instalment fall
due, an amount for the country which
should exceed 100000. .000
Tbs machinery for handling those
transactions is in fine running order,
with the experience gained from pre-
ceding tax days and little disturbance
to the financial markets is anticipated.
In fact the business may be handled
without any apparent stringency in
money rates. Bankers hail the an
nouncement of the Secretary OF the
Treasury as constructive factor in the
investment and speculative markets,
marking the first step toward spreading
the maturity of Victorys by having the
new short term notes payable In 1924
and by retiring certain amount Of out
standing Victorys due in 1928. Bankers
are unanimous in predicting a fine sue
cess for the new offering.

Baby bond. for small sayins.

The man of limited savings has as
much chance of taking advantage of the
opportunities in the investment market
as has the big investor The logical
medium for the newcomer is the baby
bond. One objection advanced against
purchasing a bond of 500 denomination
Is that it is not always readily market
able and that when bought or sold its
price Is not quite as advantageous as
could be obtained on a 81 900 bond. the
established unit OF trading. The small
investor, however, usually buys his
bonds to keep, and baby bonds permit
him TO diversity his savings Having
acquired the bond-buying habit which Is
unfortunately. none too prevalent I'm this
country, the small investor, as result
Of his increasing financial knowledge and
incentive TO thrift. is likely to find him

INVESTMENT NOTES.
cerro de Pasco convertibIes.

The possibility of obtaining substan-
tial profits without incurTing usual
speculative risks is offered by the
Cerro de Pasco Copper Corporation S
convertible s per cent. bonds. currently
quoted around 1O6. At that figure their
yield is more than per cent. The
holder of a 81 200 bond of that issue has
call on thirty shares OF Cerro de
Pasco stock during the life of the bond,
which is until 1881. There are sS,00O,-
600 OF the convertible SIS outstanding.
They constitute the corporations funded
debt, and under the terms of the in
denture no mortgage scan be placed on
the company's property without secur-
ing that issue by prior lien. on
December 81 the company had net quick
assests of 2,435, 1852. since increased by
the sale OF the bonds. A new and offici-
ent smelling plant Is under construction
and when in operation should permit
the production of copper at close to 9
cents a pound. Its copper ore reserves
are estimated to be sufficient for longer
than twenty years. price of S3 1-3
for Cerro de Pasco stock would be
equivalent to 100 for the bonds. If the
stock sold at 40, the equivalent price
for the bonds would be 120, and an ad-
vance in the stock TO so would make
the bonds worth $50. In the boom OF
1919 the stock touched 671a. If that
performance should be duplicated within
the next ten years. the bonds would adj
vance to 5000. The company is a large
producer of silver and produces about
100000 ounces Of that metal a year.
Last year the company turned out q, 900

FOOLS GOLD.
BY Berton Braley.

We've come to the end of the rainbow.
sThe spot that we sought Of old;
But here, at our journeys ending
Is never pot of gold:
So the guerdon we dreamed OF gain
Ing
That tempted us with it's CLEAN /.
Is only vague illusion
The gold was the gold OF dream!
We've come to the end Of the rainbow,
But shall we then complain
That all of our toll was wasted
And all OF our quest was vain? y
Why, we've faced the work and strug-
gle, sE
We've .weathered the rain and sun,
We've followed the self-same vision
Our dreams and our. hopes were one!
So. II at the end OF the rainbow,
No pot OF gold we find.
Our long, long years together
Were gold Of another kind;
Gold OF love unfaltdring
Which ever Is ours to spend;
(Ands this may be what the fable meant
BY gold at the rainbdw's end.")

ACTIVITY. IN LUMBER

The wholesale lumber market contin-
ues to show promising activity, says
the American Lumberman, and produce
ers feel more optimistic each week.
For the week ended April 30. mills re-
porting to the Southern Pine Associa-
tion booked orders for 20 per celt more
per mill than ever reported for the cor
responding week of other Years. This
does not mean that the week was the
best In the history OF the industry. for
1t was not, but 1t does mean that buy
ing is steadily increasing and now, at
a season when business generally
Stacks off somewhat, it continues to
mount.
Next to the southern pine market
the Douglas fir market shows the
greatest activity. Stocks on the Paci-
fic coast, as they are shown In the
South, are broken and buyers have diff
ficulty in placing mixed car business.
The most encouraging feature Of the
fir market is that the rail trade-buy-
Ing by retailers in the middle West
and East-shows an increase.
The hardwood market Is possibly not
quite as active as 1t has been. but with
the shortage Of stock, particularly the
upper grades. prices remain firm and
are somewhat above the level which
prevailed five weeks ago. Records

~ SEE BY THE PAPER

About % million copies of news
papers are now sold daily in the Unit
ed States Practically everybody reads
a newspaper.
Hence the average paper is read by
four persons. In many communities
the popular paper has an average Of
five readers for every copy sold.
That should interest advertisers.
Incidentally, we wonder how many
times a paper is read. after you throw
it into your wastebasket and before
1T reaches the machine that makes it
into pulp that, in turn. becomes
strawboard or wrapping papeg.
For who, except a rag-picker. can
resist glancing at the headlines of a
newspaper, no matter how old 1t may
be or where it is discovered?
Housewives, who in changing news
papers on pantry shelves stop to. read
the headlines or look at the pictures,
will vouch for that.

SAYS THROW AWAY
TOOTH PASTES

A recent investigation made b.
prominent dental authorities disclose
the surprising fact that most tooth
pastes and powders do a serious harm
to gums and teeth instead of helpinS
them.
Tooth pastes contain coarse, gritty
substances, it was found, which grad
ually wear tiny holes in the teeth where
decay germs can enter. Also tooth
pastes and powders break the mem
branes of the gums where the germ;
of pyorrhea and other dangerous
mouth diseases quickly gain foothold
The only safe way to keep the teetf
and mouth free from disease and de-
cay germs is to use thoroughly anti
septic liquid mouth wash such a!
Steroline. Being liquid, Steroline get
between the teeth and cleanses all tn'
hidden spots which ordinary tootI
pastes and powders cannot reach
SteroIine keeps the mouth cool, sweet
and fresh, stops bleeding gums, and Is

eases contracted through the mouth
