Washington, April 25.-Compiled
from data obtained by Ewing Easter,
a former army air pilot, who made
recently the first stage of a $1,000
mile seaplane cruise along the lower
Atlantic and gulf coasts, the national
advisory committee for aeronautics
has issued descriptive data on 80
ports found suitable for seaplane
landings in coastal voyages. The
landings are in addition to the points
already generally recognized as de-
sirable for this purpose. Fourteen
Of the 80 are located in North Caro-
lima, ten in Maryland, six in Florida
four in South Carolina, two in New
Jersey, two in Georgia and one in
Delaware.
The list published by the commit.
tee for the information of seaplane
operators includes details as to the
availability at each landing of oil
gasoline and other aviation supplies
and also considerable data as to beach
conditionss plane anchorages, cur
rents, tides and similar necessary
data.
Florida sites named are St. Au.
gustine, for all planes, Fernandins
and Green Cove Springs; and, TO,

Francs and Lire
Decline to Low
Levels for 1922
MovementAtfributedC Chiefly
to Selling by Germany
to Provide Bread
Bef ore Reparafions''

Selling by Germany Of its remaining
French and italian balances in prose
cution Of it's new purpose to provide
abread before reparations" was re-
ported by Wall Street bankers yester-
day as major, factor in the decline
Of francs and lire to the lowest quota
tions so far recorded in 1922.
The decentralization Of these ex-
changes which brought francs down to
SOL cents and lire to 3.991s cents, was
regarded by bankers as proof that the
continued financial deterioration Of
Germany must have disastrous effects
upon other European countries, par
ticularly upon Germany's creditors.
The franc, off 1871 hundredths of q
cent on the day, had not previously
this year sold below 2 cents, and last
spring, when various conferences gave
problem, climbed to 9.37 cents. In
April, the lira commanded more than
$50 cents. It's loss Of sh hundredths
Of a cent yesterday carried it below
cents for the first time this year.
The break in Italian exchange was
largely associated with German selling
and with the sympathetic response to
weakness in francs, which also carried
Belgian francs off with them. Several
other factors were discerned in the
decline in drafts on Paris, however.
Some selling was believed to represent
an effort to build up French balances
here in connection with trade and
other requirements. Bankers ex-
pressed the belief, too, that the British
Treasury was selling francs to provide
dollars for it's interest payment to the
United States. There has also been a
fairly general unloading of francs due
to the unfavorable reports regarding
the French budget situation. With
drawal of the support of German buy
iag for reparations payment has taken
the principal purchasing interest out
Of the market.
While francs and iire were breaking.
the mark was steady, recovering a
slight fraction. Bankers report that
the capacity for selling marks and
German securities in this country has
been practically exhausted and that
Germany is now relying on the bal
ances carried in New York banks for
the Reichsbank and private account,
estimated at between $10o,000 900 and
$200,000,000, without reckoning on
concealed balances" which are be-
lieved to be large. Should Germany
sell for dollars her entire outstanding
note circulation at the prevailing rate,
she could increase these balances by
only about s75,000,000. Bankers say
that Germany is now getting little in
the way of commercial credit accom-

Dividend Record
Incorporated In 1868, the company
assumed Its present name In 1874. The
ncn-comulative preferred stock has pri-
annually and after per cent has been
paid upon the common stock both
classes share equally In any further
distribution. An initial distribution Of
n per cent was made on the preferred
stock In 1867 and another like distri-
button in 1850. Thereafter the z per
cent rate YVES generally maintained
until the end Of 1917, since which date
nothing has been paid.
The common stock received it's initial
cash dividend, amounting to per cent,
in 1870. Then no more until 1870,
when 21s per. cent was paid. Then at
varying rates, reaching as high as Z
per cent in some years, until the end
cent, in 1892, gradually rising to per
there for decade. From 1912 to 1917
the rate gradually fell to AZ per cent,
and nothing has been paid on the COM
mon stock since then.
Margin of Safety
The following table shows the mar
gins of safety above interest and divi-
dend requirements. These figures are
based on the percentage that earnings
available for interest and dividends
would have to decline in order barely
to cover interest and dividend require
ments. In 1918, for example, IL total
income had been less by IA per cent
the 5 per cent common dividend then
being paid would have just been lower
cred. If total income had been lower
by 33 per cent only sufficient would
have been earned to cover fixed charges
and preferred dividends, leaving moth
ing for the common stock. If total in
come in that year had fallen to the ex-
tent of IS per cent only enough would
have been earned to provide for fixed
charges.
After 1916, it will be noted, minus
signs begin to multiply. These signs
denote the necessity Of an increase in
total income by percentage corre-
spending with the figure if interest and
dividend requirements were to be
earned in full. Thus, in 1921, total in
come available for interest and divi-
dends would have had to increase 124
per cent in order to meet fixed charges
and 216 per cent to show per cent
for the preferred stock. AS no divi-
dends were paid on the common stock
in that year, no record is placed in
