:. FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS ;:

Banks, Trust Companies, Insurance Companies and Finance
Corporations are Financial Institutions. They deal in MONEY
and CREDIT, and THEIR EARNINGS r LARGE
THAN OTHER INSTITUTIONS WHOSE ECURL
TIES DO NOT OFFER AS GREAT a DEGREE OF.
AFETY
In addition, Financial Institutions pay substantial dividends
more quickly after organization than industrial concerns. Over
head expenses are relatively smaller, and Financial Institutions
may start to make profits at once; not needing to invest large
amounts of their capital in factories, equipment, advertising and
sales campaigns before they begin to earn profits.
The securities of corporations dealing in MONEY and
CREDIT are the safest of all corporate investments; but j. is an
~undisputed fact that up to the present time such investments have
been purchased by people who were on the inside" and the gen.
cal public has seldom had an opportunity to purchase them.

Foreign Exchange STAMPEDE

Rarely is there witnessed such
stampede in any market in so short
time as took place in the foreign ex-
change market last week. This involved
a strenuous demand for all of the ex-
changes from the shorts. particularly
in sterling, and supplies OF exchange
were entirely inadequate. Sterling over
night was rushed up 9ai cents and there
were advances of 3 tn 80 points in other
exchanges, causing new high records in
some cases since last summer.
4 conspicuous exception was German
exchange. which failed entirely to par
tiCipate in the rise. Previous TO the
squeeze no one appeared to know any
thing special about the market, but
after the advance there was n plentiful

Banner Bond Market Ahead

Some of the leading bond experts Of
Wall street who have entertained
rather skeptical opinions as to the out
look for the market "A few weeks ago,
have reversed their opinions and now
predict that the next two years will be
banner ones in the trade. They are
strongly urging the purchase Of high
grade, long term Investment securities
which are now selling at unusually at
tractivc prices, their belief being that
within Il reasonable time there will have
taken place broad upward movement
which will not subside for two or three
years at least They contend that those
having funds for investment should
carefully scan the list and pick up the
good things at this time, not alone from
the point Of view of income return de
rived. but from the possibility of sub
stantial price appreciation later on.
The forced selling of securities of a
short time ago has practically been
completed and loss taking for income
tax purposes also is over, so that it
would appear rather clear sailing for the
trade from now on.

MOVES

At the request of many who failed to see the Bert Lytell seven reel Masterpiece, when it was shown about two weeks ago, The Price Of Redemption" will be repeated to- night only.
 Nothing finer in character acting has ever been screened than MT Lytell's work as the young Eng fish officer who rises to heights of heroism. falls to the depths of drink and drugs,-an outcast in India g lowest Hell, and who, through the strength of his love for the woman who had been his wife, and his little son, regains his manhood once more.
 The picture as a whole is an artistic triumph, combining perfec- tion of settings and background with the wonderful acting of a flaw less cast, headed by MT. Lytell.
 Those who missed seeing The Price of Redemption" last month should not rai Ito see it tonight.

INTELLIGENCE TESTS
 ADOPTED IN SCHOOLS
By Associated Press)

NEW YORK, Oct. 9. - Intelligence tests, adopted from the army, were tried as an experiment when New Works army of 9OOOOO school children registered for the opening of school this fall. The department of educa- tion decided 1t would be unwise, at present. to accept the results obtained as a substitute for the teachers judg, ment
 The principal aim of the tests was to devise a better classification Of pupils. The theory was advanced that by keeping the brighter pupils to- gether they would be able to progress more rapidly. while the average pupil also would be able to make normal progress The dull students, under the theory, would be given instruc- tions suited to their abilities.
 The verbal tests were devised to test arithmetical reasoning, sentence completion, logical selection of words in sentences, general information, vo- cabulary, analogies and comparisons.
 While a complete report has not yet been made of the results, the tests in some schools showed a considerable number of high school students whose mental age was below that of the normal pupil. Many of the low.score students showed that they had been advanced through the grades too ra- pidly.

OF OIL
 ON PAPUA ISLAND
CBy Associated Press)

SYDNEY, N. s. w. Oct. 3. - The search for oil which has been going on with meager results for years in the large island of Papua, has been extended to the portion known as Ger man New Guinea, where it is said there are much better indications This territory is now under Australian mandate.
 Experts of the Anglo. Persian Oil Company, which has an agreement with the commonwealth by which each will share in the benefits of any dis. covery, are prospecting thoroughly Several private parties also are in the field.
 Oil prospecting is being retarded, however, because the Australian gov ernment has not decided on a land policy for mandated territories.
