JEWISH STUDENT RANKS IN
PSYCHOLOGY TESTS

Charles Beates Weisberg, 10 years
old, of Philadelphia, has passed COM
petitive psychology examinations with
a rating Of 91.2, leading three hun
dred students throughout the State
of Pennsylvania. Later, the tests
were extended to colleges throughout
the country, but Weisberg still heads
the list. The examiners speak highly
of his concentration, memory, percep-

"the widest range of mental abilities
of any freshman who took the tests"

: In the free town of Danzig, there
was issued in 1921 a bill on Natural
ization which prejudiced the rights of
the resident Jews. Due to the inter-
vention of the Committee of Jewish
Delegations, the law was modified so
as to facilitate the naturalization of
Jews. According to the new law a
continuous residence Of five years in
stead of ten, is necessary to entitle
one to citizenship. Furthermore, any
applicant, to whom the senate had re-
fused the right of naturalization, may
resort to an appeal in the Supreme
Court of Danzig.
Shortly the Committee of Jewish
Delegations will issue "Black Book"
detailing all the pogroms that have
been perpetrated upon the Jews.

"We must recognize that the prob

Europe, and particularly in the
Ukraine, is not merely problem Of
feeding or of economic help or Of

We must try to aid our fellow Jews

spirit of the people that Ari- zona will not always be where it is today, but that is getting away from my main reason for asking you in here. My main point is this: there are quite a number of Hudson and Essex cars in the state and we have certain moral obligations to these owners. They require ser vice on their cars and we will have to take care of their needs It is fact that quite number of the distributors and their representative are moving out of Arizona because present day business will not let them break even. However, this is the time that the owner of the Hudson or Essex car needs our help the most, so I have picked you 10 go over to Arizona and open wholesale distributing branch. We want you to carry full supply of Hudson and Essex parts and also to see that every Hudson and Essex owner re- ceives the very best of service. In other words assure them that we are always behind the mer- chandise that we market and will always make it our business to see that they receive fair treatment"

HAROLD l.. ARNOLD,
 MERCHANT PRINCE

The merchant prince of the Pacific Coast" is the title that has for quite a little while been attached to Harold L. Arnold, wholesale distributor of Hud- son and Essex cars for the states of Arizona, California, Nevada and Mexico.
 MT. Arnold has proven to the automobile merchants of the southwest that it pays to back up your merchandise with good service at all times, no matter what conditions may prevail throughout the different locali- ties. Take Arizona for i'm stance, times were very hard, indeed, last spring and summer. This didn't effect the house of Arnold when it come to seeing that every Hudson and Essex owner had the very best of ser vice on their cars. MT. Arnold had unlimited confidence in the state of Arizona, also in the people and their fighting spirit. He did not merely sit at his desk in Los Angeles and write flow cry letters relative to the great confidence that he had in the state and it's ability to pull through the hard times-you bet he did not-he backed this confidence by good sound and substantial cash invest ment here in Phoenix.
 On April IS. 1921, MT. Ar mold called G. H. Moriarty one of his right hand men into his office and made the following statement to him:
 EtMoriarty, have the great est confidence in the state of Arizona. At present we are not securing very much business from there, in fact there is very little business in Arizona for any one. Arizona has been very hard hit indeed, but 1 am thoroughly confident in the

On April 15, 1921, MT. Mo

On April IS, 1921, MT. Mor- iarty arrived in the state of Arizona and the wholesale plant of Harold l.. Arnold was started. Since that date every motorist in the state knows the name of Harold l.. Arnold and also the pluck that he had in opening up his wholesale plant when quite a number of the other distributors were closing their doors.
 Today Hudson and Essex cars are among the best thought of cars in the state, because every purchaser of a Hudson or Els sex car knows that Harold l.. Arnold and this reputation is behind the deal, no matter from what dealer he may purchase.
 As part of the Big Family of HuSOn and Essex Distribu- tors in America the Organiza- tion of Harold l.. Arnold holds most worthy position. h. deed, in point of territory, the three states of California, Nev- ada and Arizona, with the two states of Northern Mexico, in the Arnold franchise, is suffic- iently important to command nine per cent of the entire fac tory output of Hudson and Els sex cars.

st. Paul Dividend Prospects

Question: would like your help. VIII
you advise me as to your opinion Of the
Paul, Great Northern and Northern Pa
cfc railroads increasing or decreasing in
value or paying dividends regularity
Answer-We do not undertake to
forecast the movement of any stock
pertinent facts which are worth
while setting down to assist you in
drawing your own conclusion. The
dividend prospects for ST. Paul pre-
ferred are not bright by any means.
This system is q highly developed piece
of railroad property capable Of ham
ding materially larger amount Of
traffic without a commensurate in
crease in operating expenses. The
management was looking fer ahead
when it planned and carried out its
program of electriicaton and, natural
ly enough, the cost of such a program
of expansion is. ard is likely to con-
tinue for some time to be, heavy load
for the system to carry The St. Paul
has been slow in striking the proper
balance between income and expenses
for these reasons. While some i'm
provement is likely to be shown in
the May earnings statement on ac-
count Of the more active production
of copper in the copper regions served
by the St. Paul, we feel that this i'm
provement will not put the road in
condition which would warrant ex-
pectations Of resumption of divi-
dends on the preferred stock. Your
question on Great Northern's dividend
is answered by the action of the direc-
tors in placing the stock on a 3ls per
cent se:n-annual basis. The rate is
thus unchanged. The Northern Pa
Gifts dividend has already been re-
duced to a per cent basis, and there
are reasonable grounds for assuming
that no further cut will be made if
the expected revival in traffic should
materialize At the same time we
think that even if there should be an
improvement in earnings the 5 per cent
rate will remain . fixture for some
time

Bond Terms Explained

Question: should be much obliged II
YOU would kindly explain the meaning OF
the following expressions, as applied to
bonds with tax free covenant with
per cent normal Federal income tax
aoea not Pey
without deduction for Federal income tax
up to 9 per cent" realize. OF course that
this is q very elementary matter, but t so
happens that l know no one here who
really knows and can properly explain. I
have been steady reader of your invest
mtnt information since the department
was started. and as l expect to have
some money to invest very shortly in
tend to be guided by advice gathered from
your columns.-C. r. a.
Answer-The expressions you quote
are used in connection with bonds sub
ject to Federal income tax and define
the position of the issuing company
as to payment Of that tax with tax
free covenant" company pays 2 per
cent normal Federal income tax" and
"interest payable without deduction
for Federal income tax up to 2 per
cent" mean that the company covenants,
or agrees, to pay this tax, which
naturally relieves the owner of bonds
carrying any of these provisions from
payment of such tax. The expressions
without tax free covenant" and "com-
pany does not pay 2 per cent normal
Federal income tax" mean the reverse
and the holder Of bonds with either Of
these provisions is required to pay
the tax.

Selling Events Soon
To Quicken Trade
Shoe and Clothing Shows and
General Merchandise Fair
to Helm Business

Three big selling events scheduled
for July August and September are
expected to quicken manufacturing and
wholesale trade considerably. The
larger of these affairs, the National
Merchandise Fair, will be held in New
York, in the Grand Central Palace and
in the list Regiment Armory, August
7 to 20, under the auspices of the Ma
tional Retail Dry Goods Association
Practically all lines handled by depart
ment stores, with the exception of
mems clothing and shoes, will be shown
in the Grand Central Palace. Women S
apparel, under the direction of the Ma
tional Garment Retailers Association
will be dislayed in the armory. A style
show will be held in conjunction with
the general exhibit. Already more than
200 manufacturers have taken space in
the four floors Of the Palace to be de-
voted to the Fair.
The second event is the annual Ma
tional Shoe and Leather Exposition and
Shoe Style Show In Boston, Julyu 10 to
10. In addition to the few fall styles
in shoes the tanning of leather. the

Exchange for Real Estate Bonds

Question-win you kindly advise me
about selling United States bonds and in
vestng the money in something where
| can get more income. How about first
mortgages at G1a per cent? DO l get
what the bonds listed al in the paper
at the bank? Am trying to learn some
thing from your investment column in
the paper. Am pretty slow, but 1t is all
very interesting. Have $4,000 in United
States bonds-Mlss e. n.
Answer-We do not recommend the
sale of government bonds unless you
hold some Of the short term issues,
such as Victory notes or Third Liberty
AIS. If you are inexperienced in sell
ing bonds we suggest that you request
your bank to take the matter in charge.
You will receive approximately the
price you see quoted in the newspapers,
plus the interest that has accrued since
the last interest date. The commission
of the brokerage house through which
the bank sells the bonds or notes will
be deducted. Real estate mortgage
bonds, such as those issued or guar
teed by the Title Guarantee and Trust
Company, s. w. Straus & Co. and the
Prudence Company are good invest
ments in our opinion.

by company operating broad net
WORK OF pipe lines means the loss Of
only per cent of the companys total
mileage. that is another problem
From this you may rightly reason
that the hazard in q pipe line stock is
measured by the diversihcation of a
company's activities. Tho same thing
holds true in the railroad field. The
sscrapping of 100 miles of road running
into depleted coal field may not be a
serious loss to large system, but it
might mean receivcrship for small
road operating only few hundred
mules and having no other direction to
turn IN search of adequate revenue.
The question Of diversification of nine
line activities is illustrated quite
clearly in the market for this class of
stocks. While Northern Pipe Line is
selling on 10 per cent basis, Prairie
Plpe Line stock is on q PER cent basis.
Inc explanation is that the Prairie
Pipe Line properties are extensive and
we'll diversified. The company is the
largest carrier of oil in the country. if
not in the world. 1t operates about
5000 miles of pipe.
All this will help you answer for
yourself the question whether North
ern Pipe Line is an attractive invest
ment. We feel that you are making
700 big detour around conservative
securities in your search for a better
return than your Liberty bonds give.

Securities Need Watching

Question---As a constant reader OF your
paper would be pleased to receive some
II formation. l own three shares OF Her
cuies Powder Company preferred stock.
shares Of New Jersey Power and Light
Company per cent cumulative and par
tciratng preferred stock. for which l paid
$95 per share buying the latter stock
about month ago. What do you think or
theso stocks? Please give your opinion
stock. the latter financed by II. w. Du-
niske & Gov. J. r.
Answer-The selection of Hercules
Powder preferred and New Jersey
Power and Light preferred for invest
ment suggests the thought that you
must be interested in industrial con-
ditions and the affairs Of public utility
companies, otherwise securities provid-
ing greater degree Of safety would
be more desirable. We have no fault
to find with the record Of either of
these companies, however, as dividends
have been paid regularly since organ
iZation. You made a mistake, in our
opinion, in departing so far from in
vestment as to purchase stock of the
kelsey Motor and Rausch & Lang com
panies. We do not know Of market
for the stock of the former company,
while Rausch & Lang units" are Of
fered at 80 We cannot inform you
as to present status in eithcr case, as
we have been unable to obtain recent
statement as to financial condition.
