Answer-The General Motors Cor

regard the debenture stocks as sound.
There is no difference, SO far as secur-
ity is concerned, between the two is
sues. In this case q debenture stock

United States Rubber preferred is en-
titled to a good rating, in our opinion.
Sinclair notes are an obligation of an
oil company, one which has not the
standing of those in the Standard Oil
group. The notes are secured by all
stocks owned. We consider the issue
fair investment for business man.
Of the securities you mention all are
entitled to good investment ratings
except American Tobacco B and Con-
solidated Gas. While these two COM
panies are goods ones, the stocks are.
sensitive to earnings and, therefore
speculative. The following bonds are
sound, and offer good yield: North

issue of refunding bonds is limited to
the amount of capital stock except

The bonds deposited under the notes

was considerable demand for capital,
and 1t was apparently thought that the
investor would purchase the notes more
readily if secured The notes were
issued to give the company sufficient

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS
Whale: This name. which is
sometimes spelled Whall. is given
three possible deriviatons by the
authorities. II may be a surname
derived from a nick name, having
been first applied to a heavy ponder
Gus fellow. Whalebelly is another
surname that undoubtedly had this
origin. However, Whale may have
been derived from a word meaning
bold or 1t may be derived from
VALE which means Welshman.
Bray: This name, which is some
times spelled Braye, Is derived from
the word brae meaning hillside.
This word is still found in poetry and
every one is familiar with the "braes
Of Yarrow." II would then have the
significance Of a dweiier BY the hill
side.
Baxter: This has the same origin
as Baker. However. Il Is derived
from the old feminine form Of this
word. Bakster. This is similar TO the
form Brewster for Brewer.

ASK HARDING TO
AID DRY LAWS
Mellon and Daugherty Lay
Complicated Situation
Before Cabinet
SEIZED LIQUOR
ONE BIG ISSUE

WASHINGTON. Aug. 1s.-Legis-
lation is being considered by the
President and his advisers TO elm
mate the "absurdities" of the pres
ent prohibition enforcement laws.
The question was considered at the
Cabinet meeting in connection with
the new regulations which would
make liquor in transit under bond
liable to seizure and which would
make ship stores Of liquor brought
into American ports also subject TO
seizure.
The question Of Interpretation OF
the prohibition law is in the courts
and. pending a decision, no action
will he taken by the administration.
II the courts uphold the strict read
ing of the law, an amendment TO the
law will be drafted to relieve the
situation.
Although II is understood that
both of the prohibition questions
considered by the Cabinet came be-
fore II. due TO protests which have
been made by foreign governments
there is no mention at the meeting
of the seizure of the British schooner
of Atlantic City this month. The
expected protest in the Henry l.
Marshall case has not materialized in
Washington.
The President and his associate:
agreed, It is understood that the pro-
hibition act. in so far as il concerned

| liquor IN transit and ship stores
should be remedied. The present con-
struction of the law forces the seiz-
ure Of liquor travelling in bond across
the United States from one foreign
country to another. and Il also makes
liable to confscauon liquor in tran
sit in vessels cargo. although 1t may
be thoroughly sealed, so soon as It
touches an American port The ship
stores phase OF the question arose
first during the Wilson administra-
ton, when It was decided that ships
flying a foreign flag. many of which
contracted to serve a ration Of liquor
to the crew. could bring into a United
States port and keep unsealed sufii-
cient stocks of intoxicants to fill that
need. The existing ruling. promul-
gated last month, prevents any such
practice.
