THE ORIGINAL BLUE LAWS

To hear people "beefing" over propos
ed blue laws at the present time one
might think they were the limit In
things uncomfortable. But compared
with the old original. simon-pure blue

liberaiity. Here are the blue laws of
Connecticut as originally enaeted-and
enforced:

Is PRICE OF GASOLINE
THE CAUSE OF STRIKES?

The root OF all this strike trouble
may be dug up by the committee. head
ed by Mr.. LaFollette of Wisconsin
which is to investigate the cost of gaso-
line.
The investigation Is to begin at the
oil well and reach the filling station. or
begin at the filling station and reach
the well, says the Louisville Courier
Journal
Gasoline prices are almost as high as
they were during the war and in the pc
riod Of prOfiteering that followed the
armistice.
! "Prices" is used advisedIy. The price
4 in one state is not necessarily the price
in another. and why there is a differ
ence In prices between, let us say. the
markets of st. Louis and East St.Louis.
or Louisville and New Albany, no mo-
torist knows.
Economists agree that no general de
preston of wage levels is possible while
the necessities of life remain at levels
at which constituted the basis of the in
crease of wages 10 the levels at which
the wage Garner would have them re-
main.
The LaFollette committee may find
that the cost of gasoline is the cause of
the unwillingness of the wage Garner to
agree TO any proposal that his income
be reduced below its war level. A dol
lar does not go much further, beyond
the filling station, than it went in 1920.
1t goes greatly less than half as far as
it went before the war. when motorists |
got gasoline in Louisville for 10 and IL |
cents. And no class i'm America is more |
than the striking classes
about the cost of automobile fuel

Might Reduce Income Demand

Cuestion--An unma rried sistar mas IN

she Is largely dependent. and, therefore.
desires as large a return as Is consistent
with salty VIII YOU give me your opinion
as to whether it would be preferable to
place this in foreign government bonds. as,
for instance, Chile SIS. Toxic IS, San Paulo
SIS. Rio de Janeiro So. etc. or would her
investment be safer in first mortgages In
Jacksonville. Fla, which pay per cent,
H. II. &.
Answer-If we had to choose between
the bonds you mention and real estate
mortgages, we would say take the lat
ter If the investor can be reasonably
sure that the amount of the mortgage
bears q conservative relation to good
estimate of the value of the property
and if the property has known present
and prospective earning power. AS a
matter of fact, we believe woman in
your sisters position is reaching too
high for income and too far away from
security Of principal when she considers
either of these classes of investment,
unless the real estate bonds are par
ticularly good We would rather see
the income requirement scaled down
nearer to the safety point, even though
We appreciate the necessity for maxi

the respectlve stocks and bonds md OF tho
division OF my capital In the different Sc
curities?-N. r. A.
Answer-The second section Of your
investment styled conservative invest
ments, seems to be in the right pro
norton for business man and the
issues themselves are, on the whole,
wisely selected There is just one
suggestion, namely, that you place As
sociated Dry Goods common in the
third class or substitute the preferred.
Inasmuch as so per cent of the whole
is in conservative stocks, we think you
would strike a better balance by boil
stering your bond holdings and rcduc-
ing the number of your speculative is
sues. That is, your conservative stocks
and bonds might be equally divided.
Your bonds are all good.

Answer Judging by the prices you
paid. these securities were recently
purchased. We will dismiss the bonds
with the statement that they are good
and suitable for your purpose. We
question whether you should have
split your small aggregate Of invest
ments in stocks into 80 many Issues.
Atchison preferred is among the
soundest stocks on the market and the
common. although it has an element of
speculation, is also R good security.
The American Sugar preferred and
Texas Company stocks are the kind Of
securities that can be held by a per-
son in position to keep in close touch
with the dcvelopm ents in these com
panies. We see no reason for any
change.

keep all the scrip dividends, since they
started to pay dividends In scrip. which

vantage to continue in tho same way or

Answer We are informed by II. l..
Doherty & Co. that stockh olders
are entitled to receive their scrip at
any time demand is made on the com
pany. and we see no particular ad
vantage, therefore, in your having the
scrip in your possession unless you

the scrip of persons who do not care
to hold it. The members OF the syn

This arrangement was made in order
that market for the scrip might
be found at all times. At the present
writing scrip is quoted at about 70
