Our Next Crop Of Investors
(From the New York Herald)

taken'more than 10 per cent and in
some cases not that much.
The history of several hundred
bond issues placed in the last year
and half. with all Federal Govern
ment loans left out Of the reckoning,
reveals an altogether different state
OF affairs. Europe has disappeared
almost completely as a purchaser.
Its place has been taken by an all
around expansion in the investment
capacity of the whole country.
The Middle Atlantic States still
predominant. and from 65 to 80 per
cent. of all issues are sold in this
territory. But the Central West,
which was a negligible factor in
large bond transactions before the
war, now takes an average OF about
10 per cent. OF all such capital ennis
sions, and sometimes as high as 20
per cent. New England buys an
AVERAGE OF about per cent and
70 metimes as high as II per cent.
The Southern and Gulf States and
the Pacific States, where bond parti-
cipations used to be as rare as ice
bergs off Tahiti. have forged ahead
until their quotas now range between
. and 5 per cent. In the Noun
tain States ] per cent. is the aver
age allotment of all bond issues.
Accompanying this wider distribu-
ticn is the increased demand for
bonds OF smaller denomination.
Where before the war one hundred
dollar pieces were scarcely ever seen
they are now provided in nearly all
issues.
Bond buying capacity has been
enhanced by the larger bank re-
sources in the various sections of the
country and the wider spread of in

NEW RAILRoAD RULE.

From the Washington Post.
Two important results are expect
ed from the decision OF the railroad
labor board. which revises the work
ing rules governing shop employees.
effective December 1. 1t Is estimated
that it will cause a saving Of about
$50, 100000 in operating expenses
and that It will increase the efficiency
Of the service. Both those objects
are greatly to be desired.
The arbitrary and uneconomic ma
tlonal agreement. governing working
conditions, which Is supplanted by
the new rules, was put into effect
September 20. 1919. by the United
States railroad administration. It has
been one Of the greatest handicaps
under which the railroads have been
obliged TO struggle since they were
released from Federal control. and
its elimination will prove helpful in
getting tho transportation system
back upon a normal basis
Under the national agreement an
engineman could not connect or dis
connect an electric wire; that had 10

gineers and firemen are permitted
to make small repairs on their To-

anyone but a carman to be sent out
with a wrecking crew. and only

Rapid and extensive distribution
OF gilt-edged capital issues in recent
months brings to hand new data on
the realignment and broadening Of
investment channels in this coun-
try since the war began. 1t has been
estimated that before the war Eu-
rope owned about five billions of
dollars in American securities and
mortgages. This figure II correct
is approximately four times the total
capitalization OF the United States
Steel Corporation, including its
stocks. bonds and notes and all 9th
.er obligations funded or unfunded
1t is a quarter Of the value Of all
tho American railroads put to-
gether.
In paying sor war materials and
food Europe sold back all its invest
ment holdings and borrowed billions
of dollars additional money. The
United States Treasurey took promis-
sorry notes for ten billions of Euro
pean advances. but this was shifted
to the American investment market
through Liberty and Victory loans.
Something like three billions Of dol
lars in private foreign loans not
placed through our Government also
were brought here.
Meanwhile the change which oc-
Cured in the distribution Of domes-
tic bond issues was as remarkable
as the shift from a debtor 10 a cred
itor position in the international
field.
In the ten years prior to 1914 Of
all the American railroad bond and
stock issues brought out It is esti-
mated that Europ took fully so per
cent. Including Industrial issues
and public utilities it is estimated
that Europe bought approximately
80 per cent. The remaining 90 to
20 per cent, depending on the kind
OF issue, was placed almost entirely
in the Middle Atlantic States. the

Plant Juice Man Uses Only
Testimonials of Local
People
WHO ARE GRATEFUL
FOR GREAT BENEFIT

Many persons think that testimon-
ials for advertised medicines are not
bona fde. Take. for instance the
published endorsements for Plant
Juice probably the best known her
bal medicine on the market today
which is too well known and has too
high a standard TO stoop to any
methods to deceive the public. Plant
Juice advertising does not quote peo-
pie living in a remote section OF the
country, but gives you the names and
addresses OF friends, neighbors and
! acquaintances right here in Will
mington, so that you will be able to
verify them and to whom you may
phone. write or call for particulars

Ceived from Plant Juice.

They are the symbol OF a great

of anti-tuberculosis activity.
The fact that tuberculosis directly

great appeal
IL may seem a startling state

be Indifferent to the appeal or the

whether you have II or not. Yet this
Is the case. There are thousands
Of people walking the streets who
harbor the germ and never suspect 1t.
Furthermore, there are many who
are infected with tuberculosis in
childhood. In them the germs lie
dormant and unsupported for years
until with the strain and stress OF
life, or because of self-indulgence
or overwork, the bodily resistance
is lowered and the inactive energy
begins an assault upon the lungs or
some other bodily tissues.

groes we ourselves have raised in our
own midst in our generation, and this
in spite of our free public schools
which have been in every community
for half century, and more.
Last year one out of every four
children enrolled in school was out of
school on the average of every day in
the year. If all the absence had been
limited to the same children, that
would mean that over 5000 children
outside of Wilmington would have
been deprived of all educational op-
portunity. 1t does mean that owing
to absence our schools are able to ac-
complish only three-fourths of their
possibilities.
If the State should say to the farm
ers of Delaware, "You are hereby for
hidden to send your children to school
more than rs days out of every 100
school days." every farmer in the state
would rise in protest at such discrimi-
nation and injustice, and every one
else would stand with them, yet for
one reason or another the parents of
the State are snatching from their
children opportunities which they
would shoulder their guns to prevent
any one else's taking from them.
Many parents have not been in a
school in session since they left school.
All their information as to what goes
on in school is secondhand. This
should not be. The schools belong 70
the people. They will be just as good
as the people desire, or just as poor as
the people will tolerate, but the people
should know frst-hand what they are
doing.

Schools to Show What is Being
Accomplished in Education
To Delaware Parents: The Presi-
dent of the United States has set apart
December 4th to 10th as American Ed
ucation Week. 1t is also National
Safety Week, and we here in Delaware
are making it also "Visit the Schools
Week" We feel that it is particular
ly appropriate to tie together these
three ideas at this one time
"Bill," said Captain in the late
war, to a fine outstanding young man
just recruited into his company, ,"Why
didn't you learn to read and write? 2"
81 don't know, Captain" said Bill, ,"but
l suppose it was because l never had
chance" This incident actually
happened during the late war and it is
sad commentary upon what we have
thought to be land of equal Oppor-
tunity.
We probably do not realize that
right here in Delaware, one out of
every twenty of our total adult popu-
lation admitted inability to read and
write at the 1920 census. One out of
every four men drafted for the army
could not read we'll enough to read
newspaper or write we'll enough to
write letter.
When the American Federation of
Labor, the greatest organized body of
working men in the world, is urging
a high school education for every boy
and girl that they may be prepared
for promotion, it seems a far cry to
drop back to program that looks to
the teaching of simply Reading and
Writing, but the latter is the real ma
tional interest in the subject of Edu-
cation and large part of our State
interest as well.
Time makes adults of children.
Childhood is the time for getting the
elements of an education. The schools
are the recognized means to this end
The State has faith in the means pro-
vided, as shown by the support given
to public education. The State also
believes in the necessity. 1t has writ
