SUBMARINE BOAT
PROFITS DECREASE
Reports Slight Drop From 1919
Figures in 1920-Gross
Earnings Also Less.

Although the gross earnings Of the
Submarine Boat Corporation declined
more than so per cent. in 1920 compared
with those Of 1919 the drop in costs
was even greater and consequently it's
profits from operations during last year
were only slightly below those Of the
preceding year. Interest and discounts
received iii 1920, however, We're well
above those Of 1919, and therefore It's
gross income showed a very sizeable IN
crease Its net income before dividends
and taxes amounted to Sl,865,995 IN
1920, against So, ,063,561 il 19i9. The COM
panys 1920 net income was equivalent
to S2.43 q share on its no par value
capital stock, against $2.69 in 1919.
Some striking changes in the 1920
report compared with that Of 1919 are

The Business
Back of these Bonds

The Cuban-American Sugar
Company is one of the best
managed and lowest cost sugar
producing companies in the
world.
It owns extensive cane lands in
Eastern Cuba-admittedly one
Of the most favored sugar areas
under cultivation.
The richness of the soil in this
section enables the growing of
cane at a cost substantially
lower than the average; prac-
tically no fertilizer is necessary.
The Company's expansion has
been steady and gradual.
These Bonds constitute its
only funded debt.
The net income of The Cuban
American Sugar Company
available for interest and Fed
eral taxes in the year ended
September 80, 1920, amounted
to $l9,116,155, or over % times
the maximum annual interest
requirements on these Bonds.
During the last five years, the
Company's net income has av-
eraged 1,7o2,949, or over IA
times, and in none of those
years has it been less than
S8,6oo,ooo, or over 1915 times,
such interest requirements.

Mrs. Stewards generosity has made

realization of the vision of Miss Alice
Masaryk, the daughter of the presi-
dent Of Czecho -Slovakia.
When Miss Masaryk was released
from an Austrian prison in 1918 she
threw herself, heart and soul, into
work for the poor children of Prague.
Inspired by her experience in Hull

worked with Miss Jane Adams when
