companies be safe or would you split 1T

Answer-The Driver-Harris first mort
gage per cent bonds, due April 1,
1881, are secured by first mortgage
on all of the fixed assets of the COM
$2,000,O00. The total issue of these
bonds is $1,250000. In 1920, with a
gross of $5,713,S96, there was only
100000 remaining after depreciation,
interest and Federal taxes. Compared
with many other bonds now on the
market, the margin Of assets over
funded debt is not large, nor is the
margin above interest charges large
The Middle West Utilities per cent

Northern 7 per cent debentures guaran-

krupp Works Turning
Out Locomotive a Day
Entire Germany Is Recovering
Rapidly From Wars Effects;
Crop Outlook Very Good

In the great locomotive shops of the
Krupp Works at Essen, Germany, heavy
locomotives are being turned out at the
tate of one day. In other shops
good wagons are manufactured at the
rate of eight day. In still another
building near by five-ton motor lorries
were being made alongside of small
motor scooters.
These facts are revealed by the Lon
don representative of the Guaranty
Trust Company, who has just returned
from tour of observation in Germany,
during which he visited Berlin, the
great industrial centers of Essen, Dus-
seldorf and Dortmund, and travelled the
great agricultural districts between
Berlin and the Dutch German frontier.
Gall the way from the Dutch border
to the German capital" he said, twas
an amending panorama of waving
grain. The German crops are unusu-
ally far advanced. Both the rye and
the wheat crops are very promising,
and the outlook for the sugar beet crop
is also very good The oil seeds have
blossomed fully and show good pros
poets.
"While a large number of locomo-
tives are in bad order, there is consid-
able railroad reconstruction under way,

wherever there was chimney stack it
was belching smoke. AS compared with
Holland, there is marked absence of
cattle and horses, and the labor in the
fields is being performed almost en-
tirely by women.
''In Berlin all the hotels are crowded
The price of accommodations in Berlin
is about the same as at hotels of a cor
responding class in Paris and Brussels,
prices having been raised to cover the
depreciation in exchange"

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Railroad rs,
due 1880, are good investment South
Western Bell Telephone Is are a good
investment, although not secured by
mortgage. Texas Company per cent
notes, due 1923, are a good short-term
investment. Western Electric five-year
convertible Is, due 1925, are a direct
obligation of strong company with
interest charges earned a number of
..ines over, but are not secured by a
mortgage. We consider them a good
investment. Kansas City Southern
first IS, due 1860, are a good invest
ment we'll secured and holding out, in
our opinion, an attractive possibility
of increase in market value. The San
Antonio and Arkansas Pass first mort
gage is are secured by first lien on
724 miles of railroad. We consider
them safe investment. The St. Louis
Southwestern consolidated as are a
junior bond, selling at a price which
gives high yield If held to maturity
We consider them reasonably safe
investment. Philadelphia Company 6
per cent cumulative preferred stock is
a business mans investment. We
think that American Telephone and
Telegraph stock is a good investment
for a man who will take the trouble
to watch earnings.

Will Invest Savings of Years

Question: have $4,000 in the savings
bank at per cent. the savings of years,
and I wish to invest about July 1 in some
thing that would yield me at least 6 per
cent. I am getting on in years and do
not want to run any risks invest in
long terms Should 1 buy Dominion Of
Canada bonds? l expect to follow your
advice, for which 1 thank you--J j. d.
Answer-Only one of the Dominion
of Canada bonds is payable principal
and interest in United States currency.
That is the bond that is due 1926, re-
Gently selling at 925s, yielding sol
per cent if held till maturity. We
consider it a high grade investment.
United Kingdom 51a per cent bonds,
due 1887, recently selling at SAY,
yielding I'll per cent if held till ma
turity and $40 per cent current inter-
est, is, in our opinion, high grade
bond and suitable for your purposes.
Does the fact that you want short
term, not long term bonds, indicate
that you desire to have the principal
come due during your lifetime? Have
you ever considered an annuity? If
you have no one to whom you want to
leave the $4,000 you could get higher

Bethlehem Steel
Prices Reduced
"a to $50 a Ton
Cut, Effective To-day, Made
at Sacrifice to Aid in
Return to Normal Prices,
President Grace Says

Reductions varying from 81 to $40
nounced by the Bethlehem Steel Com
pany in new schedule Of steel prices
effective to-day.
The price change, according to the
companys statement is not warranted
by present manufacturing costs, but
was made through the company's de-
sire to contribute it's full share to re-
Establish conditions in the steel trade
ON what might be regarded as nor
NAL basis.
The new prices represent q reduc-
ton of 81 per ton on bars, structural
shapes, plates, skelp, billets, sheet bar,
slabs and blue annealed sheets; SIS
ton on black and galvanized sheets;
and $40 a ton on tin plate.
The statement, which is authorized
by E. G. Grace, president of the Beth
lehem Steel Company, presents an
analysis of the new prices designed as
Illuminating to both the trade and the
general public. 1t attributes the in
crease in freight rates as being the
largest factor in increasing the cost of
manufacturing steel products since the
beginning of the war. The cost factors
next in Importance, it states, are ma
terials and labor.
The company draws comparison
between the cost of structural steel
under the new schedule of prices of
$44 so a gross ton with pre-war prices
of this commodity, or $24.21 per ton.
The various items that have made for
an increase in present-day costs over
pre-war costs are said to account for
the present difference Of $20.59 per
ton.

Steady Decrease in Number of Men
Who Begin Study Of Ministry
Is Alarming

New York, Dec. 23.-The Episcopa
church in the United States faces a
real problem through the steady de-
crease in the number of recruits to
the ministry, a commission appointed
to investigate the subject declared ir
a report made public today. The
situation, the commission stated 'is
more grave than seems to be the case
with other religious bodies
In the diocese of New York where
in the fifties there was one minister
for every 491 COMMITMENTS, the
commission found that today there
was only one minister for every 1923
That this proportion is maintained
throughout the country" a statement
said, lis indicated by the fact that in
the diocese of Rhode Island in the
fifties, one minister was recruited for
every 52G members, while today only
one minister is recruited for every
1884 members; and that through the
southwestern states, where in 1926
one minister was produced for every
235 COMMITMENTS, a present one Is
produced for every 5000 commum-
