Trading in the local gray goods

prices holding firm. Tho standard con-
struction of print cloths and sheetings
were in steady demand, but they did not

The approach OF the Christmas holi-

cradle part of their probable require

now sending In rush orders so that they
may have we'll assorted stocks when
the consumer begins to buy Christmas
gifts. A better demand for various
articles Of jewelry is reported by re-
tailers. Some of the articles which are
moving quite actively In the wholesale
market are bead necklaces. precious
stones and diamond and platinum jew
eiry. In view Of the general improve
mcnt in business and wage advances
IN many industries jewellers expect a
better holiday trade than last year.

Why Electric and Gas Securities
Are Good Investments

In no other industries has economy Of
production and distribution reached
the degree of efficiency attained by
large electric and gas systems.
The electric and gas industries can be
operated only by the creation of huge
physical properties, part and parcel
of the communities served, fixed and
imbedded in the land itself.
Demand for the services rendered has
increased steadily for many years
and, so far as can be foreseen, must
continue to increase indefinitely.
Management of electric and gas prop
critics necessarily must be in the
hands of specialists. The majority of
American utility executives have de-
voted their lives to the development
and perfection of these industries.
The securities Of electric and gas
companies as a class, are eminently
safe as to principal, thoroughly de-
benddble as to return on the invest
ment, and command ready market
ability. The rate of return is
liberal considering the high degree
Of stability.

NM IL ~ is taking place in the number
y MAk of investorsin the publicutil-
tiles. tits said that there are
now nDt less than 1000, 600
holders of utility securities m this coun-
try. Someofthereasons are given below.
These industries supply light, heat
and power far more efficiently and
economicallythan such hnecessitiescan
be obtained from any other source by
people living in communities.
They produce and distribute at the
lowest selling prices as monopolies in
a given territory, and for this reason
are free of direct competition.
Regulated by the State, honestly and
conservatively conducted, their affairs
are an open book to all concerned.
The concentration of production in
large plants, Standardization of manu-
featuring practice and the monopoly
method of distribution enable themto
reduce unit selling prices in normal
times as the volume of output in
crcascs.

Our One Play Dramatists.
Albert Sterner on the Needs Of the

TO THE New YoRK HERALD: Your
editorial article regarding American

first successful play with others ms good
or better Is a comment on n great deal
OF the art production in this country.
The main reason, II seems to mo. for
this significant trouble In the theatsr
is found In these considerations:
First--In tho star system. which Is
mainly concerned with raising person.
alities into hasty but very often false
prominence.
Second-In the hurry up mako II pay
methods OF the theatrical manager hunt
Ing not for good plays but for suo-
cesses to fill too many theatsrs.
Thrd--In the long run.
Tourth--1n the marked favor shown
to foreign playwrights and productions.
Fifth--In the nondiscripiinating atti-
tude Of our audiences. Perhaps II might
be wise to allow these showgoing audi
enccs, for n time at least, to express
their feelings in the thestcr. their dis
pleasure as well as their pleasure. Audi
ences are allowed this privilege In the
older countries. True. II might inter-
fere with box ONCE receipts. but IL
should serve to curb the take q chance

to employ competent and capable men

The Swiftest Star.

The Harvard astronomers have
timed star that moves through space
more rapidly than any other celestial
body the speed Of which they have
been able to measure. This is the
star RI Cephei. very distant star
of the tenth magnitude, too faint to
be seen with the naked eye. 1t
moves at the rate OF 6S35 miles. a
second, or nearly two and half mill
ion miles an hour.
RE- Cephei could circle the earth
in thirty-eight seconds. Four sec
onds would suflce for 1t to travel
between New York and San Fran
cisco. Between New York and Chi
cago, or New York and Jacksonville,
Florida, its passing would be accom-
plished in the winking Of an eye.
With all its speed it would take
RI Cephei a longer time to reach
the earth than it is easy for the
human mind to grasp. This star is
$500 light years away from us, and
it would take the star itself about
266 times as long to make the jour-
ney as It does the light waves re-
corded on the Photographic plates Of
the astronomers.
when EMERSON gave his advice
about hitching your wagon to a star
he should have been more specific.
He should have mentioned RI Cephei.

After Magellan.

When the ninety-e.ght foot motor
cruiser Speejacks put in at Miami
Thanksgiving Day she had fulfilled
the promise her owner, ALBERT Y.
GowAN of Chicago. made for her that
she would dycircumnavigate the globe.
I Tho Speejacks has earned special
distinction because performances
similar to hers are often attempted
and often abandoned before their
completion. Every year brings its
succession Of hardy spirits who plan
to circle the world in something less
reassuring than the vast interior Of Q
modern liner. Many of them really
do rig up their craft and start: a
few weeks later we read that they
have reached somewhere or other and
that is the last we ever hear Of them
But the Speejacks came back to the
place she started from with $4,000
miles of blue water behind her. Her
tonnage Is 100. That is exactly the
average struck by the tonnage Of the
Ave vessels which left the port Of
Seville. August 10. 1919, under
MAGELLAN. Two Of MAGELLAN's ships
were Of 1870 tons, two Of 80 and one
of so tons. One Of them, the Wits
toria, got back to Spain in Septem-
Der, 1922, having completed. 400
years ago. the first voyage round the
world.
Strictly speaking, MAGELLAN was
not the first man to circumnavigate
the globe. He did not complete the
voyage with the vittoria, but died
in the Philippines. from wound in
fiicted by a poisoned arrow. In JUS
tice, however. he is fully entitled to
his distinction, because on a previous
voyage eastward he reached Banda
Island, in tho Malay Archipelago.
The way home from the Philippines
was knownto him.

SAMUEL T. DANA, Forest Commits

in Augusta few days ago that rs
per cent. of Names land area, that Is
to say $4,000 Of the approximately
10000 square miles of the States sur
face, is covered with forests. Much
of the most valuable standing timber
has been taken away. but a great
area of forest remains.
Even though the timber is not all
of the finest quality forests have
other than their mere lumber value.
They conserve water power re-
sources, for one thing. and in Maine
these resources rank next to those OF
New York. California and Washing

ticularly. the forests value as a shell
ter for wild game is not to be over
looked. Wild game in abundance
means tourists in abundance. and
Maine, like the other New England
States, counts upon tourists as an
important source of income.
