HAD 1T EVER OCCURRED TO YOU?

Had it ever occurred to you that
you had as we'll try to be a successful
physician without attending medical
school, or successful lawyer without at
tending a law school, or a successful
minister without attending theologi.
cal school, as to try to be a success
full banker or merchant or business
man of any kind without first being
trained for business in the Tyler Com
mercial College. You would attend
university with reputation if you
wanted to make first class doctor,
lawyer or minister. Why not use the
same good judgment in selecting a
business school in which to secure
your training? The Tyler Commercial
College of Tyler, Texas, is the business
university of the south; it enrolls
more students annually than and other
similar school in America. Its students
have come from SO different states
and seven foreign countries; its gra-
duates are holding the very best of
positions in the leading cities of the
United States.
If you will spend from $4,000 to
$25O.OO for tuition, board and books
for course of shorthand, Bookkeep-
ing, Telegraphy, Cotton CHASING, or.
Business Finance, or better still, spend.
5000 90 to 100000 and complete any
three of these courses, you will have
made the best investment of your life.
What young man or woman with grit
and determination cannot raise this
amount? Hundreds of students who
borrowed every cent of tle money to-
attend this school, or gave their note
for part of their tuition, will readily
tell you it was the best venture OF
their lives; they were soon able,
through the good position secured
them by the college. to pay what they
owed and continue to hold their good
positions or go into business for them
selves andsucceed. II you always re.
main where you are, you will always
be what you are. Think this state
ment seriously. More than 800 new
students, before this month closes, will
be added to the fifteen hundred that
are now here. Why not you be among
the number? You can enter any day

American Agricultural Chemical

ouestion-Win you kindly advise. mo re-
garding American Agricultural Chemical
common or preferred Htocka as an invest
rnent for business woman of moderate
means? would Ike to buy time-pay-
rnent plan some Hhares OF this and some
other good stocks paying about the same
interest Also, what are fair rates for buy
ing, also carrying charges? VIII you
please recommend a reliable partial pay
ment broker MRS. NJ. G.
Answer American Agricultural
Chemical preferred enjoys good in
vestment rating for this type of Sc
curity. The company recently aold an
issue of $30,OOo,0o0 bonds, which you
might consider in view Of the high
yield they afford. They, Of course, are
fixed charge that comes ahead Of the
preferred, and their issuance has not
helped the investment position of the
preferred stock. The common cannot
be classed as an investment. We
would suggest that you look into the
matter of purchasing some of the at
tractive bonds that are being offered
to-day at prices yielding 61a to 8 per
cent. We make it a rule not to
recommend individual brokers. Inter
est charges represent the price of
money, and they vary just like the
cost Of eggs. Commission rates vary
somewhat among different houses
when less than 100 share lots are
bought.

French Iron Industry

The pig iron production during shs
first six months of 1920 is reported 70
nave been 1,358,856 metric tons, lJ3zor
93T tons of which were produced, IN
blast furnaces and the balance in eiec-
trtc furnaces. The above figures shsw
an increase of $4,000 metric tons over
the pig iron production during the firsl
six months of 1919, whereas, on ne
other hand, they correspond practicai.y
to the average activity during the sec
ond six months Of 1919. II
During 1919 inadequate facilities iof
securing raw material necessitsted tns
blowing out of a certain number o.
furnaces, the number in working con
dition decreasing from 81 TO SO os'
tween January /, 1919, and January !
1920. This situation was not improves
in the early part of 1920, except in tas
Department OF Meurthe-et-Moseus,
where twelve furnaces were blown y
during the first six months, most 8.
them in the works which had been
devastated during the war. The pro-
duction In the region of Meurthe-eg,
Moselle shows therefore sn increase "
$4,000 metric tons. as compared "
that Of the first six months OF lsis'
and an increase of $4,000 metric toIss
over the production during the secoss
SIX months Of 1919. The monthly pTsea,

Question---Can you give me any inforn1a-
tion about Mexican Dage? j have been
told 1t Was IA good oil stock as an invest-
ment. what dividends does 1t pay w.
NJ. r. ,.,4...
Answer - Mexican Eagle Oil, Ltd,
was organized in 1908 and controls con-
cessions over the whole Of the Mexican
states Of Vera Cruz, Tsbasco, Chiapas,
San Luis Potoai, Tamaulipas and Cam
peche. It also holds leasehold and
freehold properties extending over q
large area in these states which have
been variously estimated at between
100000 and 100000 acres. The com
pany has large production from these
Mexican properties. Control Of the COM
pany was purchased by, the Royal
Dutch Shell group Of English and
Dutch oil interests several years ago
to, give that organization Mexican pro-
luction. The capital stock Of the COM
pany. consists Of SS,500,o00 (Mexican
currency SO par preference shares
and $74,S35,190 (Mexican currency)
$40 par ordinary shares. Reports from
London recently have limited at bond
issue, but they have since been de-
MED The company has been paying
dividends since December, 1914, on the
ordinary shares. Payments have in
creased from the initial disbursement
Of per cent to As per cent, paid in
1919. The ordinary stock has q good
standing but must be considered as a
speculation. 1t Is not listed on the
market here. It's principal market is
in London. However, there are Amer
ican houses which specialize in deal
ings in Mexican Eagle.

Stocks Can BE Wholly Wiped Ont

Question-Will you kindly advise me
re!atlVe 70 Southern Railway stock? Is
this stock reasonably safe speculative
venture at around 23? I hold Sears
Roebuck Z. due 1923. bought at o. DO
you consider these notes a frat class In
vestmentf Do you consider WHY'S Over
land at around speculative proposition
would have to happen to cause this stock
70 lose Its entire value? have 10. 900
German marks bought for $50. and 5000
French francs, bought for 3I9O Please
tell me what you think of this Investment
from speculative stsndpoint.-L D. W.
Ansver--The Southern Railway has
come along we'll in recent years. The
common stock. however, is a purely
speculative proposition. The road NAV
in time get to point where it NAV be
able to pay dividends on the junior
stock. But that is in the future, and
no one can say when it will take place.
If ever. A stock that is so speculative
cannot be considered reasonably safe. u
If you ask If Southern Railway common
offers reasonable chances for improve
ment in position over period of years
we would say yes. Sears Roebuck rs
are the obligation OF large and we'll
managed concern and We consider them
good investment. Willys- Overland at
8 seems to have discounted about the
worst. that could happen. But the com
pany Is still struggling to arrange for
refnarcing its bank loans.

Has a "Sure" Tip on Conner

Suestion---A desire for what ] consider
an actually unprejudiced opinion prompts
my asking ir.you consider Boston and Mon =
tana safe Investment and just what YOU
at present consider its future dividend
paying possibilities to be? havo been
told couldn't lose out" by one man, but
an acquaintance who sells bonds told me
that 1t was overcapitalized. Would you
prefer 1T to Utah Copper? I would much
no personal interest at stake or AXE to
grind" have abou. $1,000 to invest
and, while willing to take chance. can't
afford to--those birthdays and the prices
OF sinkers. I am wishing there, was some
way TO conpensste you for what seems to
me must cost much time labor and ex-
pense for mere asking.-R. NJ. p.
Answer-Revise your estimation Of
safety before you lose your $1,000. If
you do not do it now you will have to
do 1t afterward. Boston and Montana
may have merit as running stock, but
all shares of this class are highly
speculative. We cannot forecast divi-
dend action. The copper companies arc
forced to keep production down be-
cause they cannot sell what they mine
There are SO many good investments
and SO few thousands Of dollars avail
able that we fail to see why any one
in the position you describe in your
letter should take tips on sure-thing
copper stocks.

American Smelters Preferred

Question: have been reader Of The
Tribune for many years and would like
your advice 1 havo a small block OF
American Smelling and Refining preferred
z per cent, purchased at S2 At the ti1ne
OF purchase the earnings for 1920 to July
showed quite q comfortable surplus. Are
the present conditions so bad that they
would warrant cutting out Of the divi-
dend? The company has q long dividend
record, but present conditions in tho bust
ness have made mo little doubtful.
Would you exchange this for some other
good preferred stock or bond, or would
you consider at the purchase price 1t would
be worth holding &C. r. 8.
Answer-The American Smelling and
Refining per cent preferred stock has
an excellent dividend record. Disburse-
ments have been made at the full z per
cent rate since 1900, which is worth
considering in judging the merits Of
the issue. During that period the COM
pany has passed through lean as we'll
as prosperous times, giving the pre-
ferred stock thorough test. We can
not tell you what the policy Of the di-
rectors will be in future with regard
TO dividends, but it would seem rea-
sonable TO believe that no change is
likely to be made in the preferred.
You must also take into consideration
the fact that the industry in which the
company is engaged has had long
slump, xnd the time seems not far off
when improvement can be looked for.

Holds Good Bonds for a Widow

Qnestion--Will you kindly express your
opinion about Pittsburgh. Chicago. Gin
cinnati st. Louis Railroad general nort-
gage per cant 1870 bonds? Do YOU think
they are safe for widow and minor child :?
put them away and not do any worrying
for nfty years, but I notice you never
mention them az good investment in
answer to inquirers. Why? All my in
co1ne, 3d. 900, is derives from these bonds
The average cost or the Pittsburgh. Chi
oaso. cincinnati & st. Louis common
changed this for the above bonds getting
. per cent now instead OF per cent.
', Wo1td M you advise disposing Of say, about
$4,000 OF these and buy other securities?
II SO, kindly nane several. Have been
thinking OF turning everything over to a
trust company and have them look after
my affairs In this line, as / do not under
stand much about these nstters--Mrs.
NJ A. NJ.
Answer-Pittsburgh, Chicago, Cincin-
natl q st. Louis general mortgage 5s,
due 1870, are a safe investment for
widow In our opinion. There are
great many bonds that are old and
well-seasoned which we do not have
occasion to mention in these columns
because we do not get inquiries about
them. AS rule it is better to diver
slty your investment rather than to
nave the entire amount invested in one
security. If, therefore, you should de-
eide to sell half of your holdings in
Pittsburgh, Chicago. Cincinnati & st.
Louis bonds, we would suggest putting
the proceeds into three or four of the
following bonds: Illinois Steel deben-
ture d rs, due 1910, selling at 78 and
yielding, if held to maturity, CAT. This
is just slightly better yield than your
Pittsburgh, Chicago, Cincinnati & st.
Louis bonds would have if held to ma
turity. United Kingdom 51a per cent
bonds. due in 1887, selling at about s3
and yielding 7.29 per cent; Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe general As, due
1895, selling at about 7A and yielding
BAL per cent. These bonds are legal
investments for savings banks in New
York. Union Pacific convertible 4s.
due 1927. selling at 80 and yielding, if
held to maturity, 7.75 per cent; New
York Central convertible debenture 6s,
due 1885, selling at 8s and yielding 7.90
per cent, are also good If you are
inclined to worry about your invest
ments you might feel we'll repaid for
being relieved from this worry by turn
ing your affairs over to a trust COM
pany. 1t might be an especially good
thing for your minor child in case of
your death.

Doesn. Require Best Grade issues

Question--I wish to buy some good pre-
ferred stock, not necessarily tho highest
grade, but with n good yield and, OF course
a chance to appreciate In value. Also
wish 20 get n low priced common stock
with good record While not out
to mike . record for high returns, I do
not need q security OF tho AAA class. 1
have been considering the following pre-
terred stocks, ave shares each of two:
Worthington Pump, General Motors per
cent, General Motors per cent Virginia.
Carolina Chemical, Endicott-Johnson,
Pierce OIL. American Agricultural Chcm-
icai; hvs shares OF one OF these common
stocks: vanadiurn. Pure Oil Virginia. Car
olina. Will you grade the above mako
substitutions, please? I know that you
get many boosts for your Investment Col
ann, but one more won't hurt. and I wish
20 record my interest In this service which
is so we'll conducted and is proving highly
educational, especially to US little fell
lows who need advice in planting our
savings.-s. 3. H. .0
Answer--Of the preferred stocks you
mention we think Virginia Carolina
Chemical, American Agricultural
Chemical and Endicott-J johnson are the
best and well suited TO your needs. If
you are going to buy common stock,
we suggest that you let the oils and in
dustrials alone and take on a good
railroad, like Norfolk g. Western, for
instance.
