MANY TESTS TO TELL
DIAMOND FROM FAKE

CHICAGO, Nov. al. n. Sis
your diamond genuins? If there is any
doubt in your mind the best thing is
to take it to a reliable jeweler. You
can, however, test the stone yourself
if you know how, And here's how;
A small drop of water on the face
of clean diamond may be rolled
about with the point Of pin without
losing its globular shape. on the imi-
tation diamond the water will spread.
A genuine diamond immersed in a
glass of water will flash and sparkle as
brightly as in the air A counter
felt gem will be almost invisible.
An imitation squeezed between two
silver dollars may be crushed by the
pressure of the fingers. This test,
when performed by the strongest man,
will not injure diamond. A steel file

Options Do Not Control" Marks

Question---1nclosed find a circular sent
me by tho G. II. Perkins e. Co. of New
York. As constant reader OF your paper
and its financial column will you kindly
inform II the statements set forth In
ssh's circular are correct and IL this firm
ing 500 Of the German marks and l would
like to know II the marks should go much
lowtr II | would lose any more than the
amount they go DOWN.. +. NJ.
Answer-Mr. Perkins's circular sounds
me until ne says: Suppose at the end
CT six months, or at any time during
tue six months period COZ the option)
the mark advances to value of 6
cents Then, he shows, you could
make a profit of considerably more
than 1000 per cent" The joker in this
scheme is that the option p-.ce is 275
cents q mark.
In other words. you do not begin to
WIN anything until the mark advances
that ,ar from its recent level, about 16,
an increase of more than 70 per cent.
Inc th'ng is no more reasonable than if
Mr.. Perkins tried to sell you six
months option on United States Steel
common, for instance, at 1856, its recent
price being around So The same
criticism applies to his offering Of
options on other foreign currencies.
VI course his statement that $500
controls 100000 marks is nonsense.
The marks control the $4,000, which is
N-nlte different A lot of our unwary
readers walked into similar traps last
summer, but we thought they had been
amply warned If our friends are 20
ing to gamble in marks we like to see
them get the right odds. They will
not get them frora the George Fl. Per-
kinS d 20. optltn scheme. The amount
you put up is all you can lose.

Renders Decision
On Public Utility

The Street Railway Valuation Com
mission of New Jersey employed Ford,
Bacon & Davis, engineers. some time
ago to make final valuation of the
Public Service Railway Company of
New Jersey. Their report has just
been made public. The commission, il
is understood, agreed in advance to &C
cept the report as to facts
The engineers in making their re-
port, instead OF trying to determine
the value of the public utility without
regard TO the value CT he service rem
dered, have reversed this proceeding.
They first determined the cost of serv-
ice including operating expenses plus
depreciation. They then added to this
cost interest on the cost Of the plant
and profit in an amount sufficient to
induce capital to flow into the indus
Try. This they call value of the serv-
ice and on this the valuation OF the
public utility as going concern is
based

would indicate any doubt of the North

Answer-Men got sick of paying IS
cents for Indifferent two for-a quarter
collars and S. for 50 shirts. The buy
ers' strike forced prices down, and com
panies like Cluett found themselves
confronted with al the problems of
drastic readj ustment, which included
escaping being caught with raw ma
teria at peak prices. We are informed
that Cluett- eabody did we'll in this
respect, but the process naturally hurt
the price of the stock, as it did in al
most all other cases, not only in this
industry, but in others. We do not ad-
wise about holding and selling specula-
tive stocks.

Apprehensivc About Pennsylvania Bond

Question: recently purchased a Penn
sylVania 642 per cent bond on the advice
OF banker, who considered ii good in
vastment for me. Since buying 1t the
stock, already low, has declined consider
ably in value and l notice you are ad-
vislng those who hold 1t to unload even at
some sacrifice l also notice that in giving
list Of railroad bonds considered good by
you YOU do not include this one. Do you
consider, that this decline in the stock
affects the value and safety of the bonds
and do you advise to sell or kep it?
also hold one of the 1887 United Kingdom
bonds at little above par. What Is your
opinion OF this bond? Should ] hold or
sell it? | do not anticipate any necessity
for selling these bonds quickly and my
only concern is for the safety Of the in
vestments and continued income from
thenl.-E. e. G.
Answer-The adverse criticism which
you have seen about the Pennsylvania
applies only to the stock, in our opin-
ion, though of course, it has some
bearing on all the securities of the
road. But we think your ond is well
secured as to principal and interest 1t
comes far head of the stock in case
of protracted lean times. Unless you
are worried about the ability Of the
British Empire to pay what it owes we
think you have a good investment in
the United Kingdom bond.

Answer-We consider Canadian Pa

so far in excess of it's funded debt and
the par value of the stock that there is
considerable equity for the common
stock holder above par The Canadian
Pacific, we think, can easily earn its 10

owning the other Canadian roads, will
play fair as regards rates.
