Answer--WcS DO not think that you
need to worry about your Virginia
Carolins Chemical ~ per cent bond.
II is true that the Fertilizer industry
is unsettled and there may be another
year of depression. However, the Vir-
ginia- Carolina Chemical Company has
gone through the periods OF depression
of 1912 and 1914, and even more severe
trials prior to that, and has always
earned an ample margin over it's inter
est charges. IL you are inclined to
worry over your Investments. and your
letter rather suggested that you are,
you might better decide to accept n
lower rate of interest than you are get
ting on most of the bonds that you
hold and get into high grade, com.
paratlvely low yield, we'll seasoned
bonds, such as Illinois Steel Az per
cent debenture bonds, recently selling
at Sl1a, yielding 6.16 per cent il held
to maturity; Virginian Railway first
mortgage per cent bonds, due 1862,
recently selling at 80, yielding 6.22 if
held to maturity; Norfolk & Western
divisional first and general 4s, due
1914, recently selling at about rs,
yielding sos per cent il held to ma.
turity, and Southern Paciic-Central
Pacific collateral As, due 1949, recently
selling at 68, yielding 6.49 per cent if
held to maturity. We would advise
you to hold your Bell Telephone of
Pennsylvania, and possibly your State
of San Pauio per cent, due 1886, al
though even here if you are looking
for the highest type of foreign gov
ernment bonds, we would suggest a
switch into government of Switzerland
IS, due 1910, recently selling at 1o3h.

States Gas & Electric 7 per cent notes

ment: Other short term investments

Doubtful About Railroad Outlook

Question Il own Atlantic Coast Line
stock at s. (n9w quoted at about aS> and
been paying dividends regularly. Would
you advise me to hold. as can afford to
do SO. provided the outlook Is that divi-
and take the loss? Also have Chicago.
Milwaukee & st. Paul convertible ~ per
65). Is this safe bond for a business
man to own? I wish to make some addi
tional Investments and have been given
the following list by leading bond house.
Before committing myself would like to
have your advice: Anaconda Copper Min
ing Co. per cent secured. General Elec-
trio Company per cent Potomac Electric
Power general mortgage per cent. When
bonds bough in small denominations.
sl0o and $500 PIECES is tdn there any addi
brokcrs?-J G..
Answer-The railroad situation is so
uncertain that if you would be en-
barrassed if either Southern Railway
preferred or Atlantic Coast Line COM
mon discontinued dividends we would
advise you to sell. The railroad exec
utives appear to be we'll pleased with
the decision of the Labor Board, but
the more time that bankers and invest
ors have had to study that decision the
more caution apparently is being exer-
cised in the purchase Of railroad stock
OH Jne SCrengJn Oh Cne dec1SlOn.. SOme-
what the same line of argument aplies
to your Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul
AZ per cent bond, although, Of course,
interest on that will not be defaulted
unless the road should be forced into
receivership. The road, however, has
been making an unsatisfactory showing
of earnings. Of the three bonds Of
fered to you we think the General
Electric 6 per cent bond, due 1910, and
recently selling at slightly over par, is
the best. We consider it safe invest
ment. There is no additional charge
when broker buys $10O or $500 bonds
for you, but the price of the bond may
be little higher than the percentage
price of the regular $1,000 bond, be-
cause there is a less active market in
these bonds and the bid and asked
prices have wider spread. Some brok-
ers charge minimum commission for
any one transaction.

Woman Favors Foreign Bonds

Question--Will you kindly, discuss the
Investment of $500 in either Swiss So.
New Jersey preferred Miss G. w. F.
Answer-Wc think highly of the
Swiss IS, French IS and Belgian IS, but
in the case Of the Swiss and Belgian
bonds they do not come in less than
$500 denominations. On the other hand,
Standard Oil of New Jersey preferred
comes in $1OO shares, and you could
invest about S40O in it without waiting
until you get another S100. We con-
slider it high grade investment suit

Question---Would you consider the late
issue of Mexican Petroleum per cert
hond and the Wilson & Co. frst mortgage
per cent bond good, safe investments as
reg gards principal and interest ?-S. S.
Answer-We think that both Mexi-
can Petroleum 8s and Wilson & Com
pany first mortgage 6s are reasonably
safe investments, but both the packing
business and the petroleum business
are speculative, and even well-secured
bonds Of these businesses must of
necessity have an element of specu-
lation in them. Some other Of the
bonds that are often recommended in
these columns as "kigh grade" would
give you . greater degree Of safety,
Ent lower income yield.

thoroughly reliable broker. DO YOU
consider these investments suitablc2 II
P. G. H.
Answer-In general we think your
selection of securities is good. On
the other hand we would recommend
that you stick to either listed bonds
and stocks or bonds and stocks that
have good outside market. We get
hundreds of letters which are asking
for "any information" about some
local on unseasoned stock or bond
which may have been good at the time
the investment was made but which
for reasons unforeseen and sometimes
unforeseeable ut that time has become
either unmarketable or with such a
wide market that the holder has to
make a heavy sacrifice in order to
realize on it. Even If you have ample
life insurance, you do not want, we
should think. to accumulate any se~
curities which in the event of your
death your wife would find hard to dis
pose Of If you are putting your Sc
curities away as nest egg you should
keep in mind, not only what your
ability is to follow the trend of mar
ket prices and so on, but what the at
titude of your wife would be toward
these securities if they are left to
her. The Waldorf System, the United
Illuminating and the r. H. Roberts
Company first preferred do not fully
meet these requirements. in our opin-
ion. On the other hand, your other

JOINT RECITAL TO BE GIVEN
AT THE AUDITORIUM SEPT. 12tI

George Wilton Ballard, tenor. and
Sibyl Sanderson Pagan, whistler. WIN
give joint recital in this city on
Monday evening. September 18th At
the High School Auditorium. Assist.
ing them will be Willard Osborne.
violinist.
Mr.. Ballard has a high, sweet
tenor, admirably suited to the 70
romantic songs he likes to sing SO
well. He specializes on love songs,
highly favored with romance. So
II you want to hear some of your
old favorites you should not miss
the opportunity to attend this con-
cert
Mr.. Ballard is a native of Syra-
cuse, New York. His musical ca
reer began where that of SO many
we'll knonw singers did-in church
choirs. But even the greatest pessi-
mist in the world could not fail to
admit that our churches have done
one very great service to the world.
And that is in giving our American
boys and girls who aspire to sing, a
chance for excellent training and for
a public hearing. Mr.. Ballard did
solo work in church choirs for q
long time before he became a con-
cert singer.
Aside from singing George Wilton
Ballard has one great hobby. That is
bass fishing. They say II there are
bass to be had, Mr.. Ballard will al
ways get them. The celebrated
tenor likes to camouflage his inter
est in bass fishing by adding that
fishing is great means Of promot-
ing health, giving one an opportuni-
ty to think, and as trouble dispen-
ser It has no equal. Music lovers OF
this city will find Mr.. Ballard him
self a good trouble dispeller.
There are a few people in the
world who can whistle the way
Sibyl sanderson Pagan does It.
When Miss Pagan was a little girl
she was given to making everybody
In the family miserable by whistling
loudly and eternally. One day a pro-
fessional whistler came to visit Miss
Pagan at her home, in Springfield
Ohio. and she suddenly discovered
that she could whistle little bet
ter" as she modestly puts It than
most people.
She determined to make real ar
tisitic profession for herself by
means Of her unusual gift. She
studied breathing exercises, which
are quite as important in whistling
as in singing. Also she studied the
piano until her artistic ideals were
developed. 1t didn't take her long.
