Many families make mor of the
Thanksgiving dinner than of the
Christmas meal, so usually the turkey
has its place OH the menu in Novem-
Der. Chicken, mock duck, made OF
dressing and steak, baked ham or
roast pork make delicious main items
fer the holiday dinner December. %.
A ham baked with spices will serve a
large family for several meals, and it
IS at least two dollars cheaper than
turkey. Spinach and canliflower are
good vegetables to serve with ham,
and head lettuce, with vinegar and oil
dressing, makes an appetizing ac-
compartment for baked chicken.
A Christmas salad, in keeping with
holiday colors Of green and red, can
be made of a nest of head lettuce In
which a mixture of cooked cranber-
ries and diced celery is placed and
covered with mayonnaise.

SINCLAIR OIL WILL
ISSUE NEW BONDS
Company Preparing 10 Put
Out S3O.000,000 or More
Long Term Securities.

The Sinclair Consolidated oil Cor
poration Is discussing with its bankers
an issue of $30.000,000 or more of Longs
term bonds, the proceeds to be used for
the retirement OF approximately Sf5,-
100000 convertible ~ per cent. notes.
due on May 10, 1925. Announcement of
details are expected in a few days. The
Sinclair corporation is in a strong cash
working capital; in fact. it will be able
TO liquidate part of the notes from its
bank balances. a long term bond issue
in the present state Of the investment
market could be marketed at rate
which would reduce the corporations
interest charges below the "a per cent.
paid on the notes.
An interesting phase OF the pending
transaction has TO do with the sale by
the Sinclair or half interest in the
Sinclair Pipe Line Company to the
Standard Oil Company OF Indiana
year ago The total investment in the
pipe line from Oklahoma to Chicago
was in excess OF S30.000.o00. The pipe
line stock was among the assets pledged
to secure the Z "a per cent. note issue
and for that reason a clear title could
not be given to the Standard OF Indiana
for its interest so long as the present
note issue was outstanding. The Stand
ard of Indiana reported yesterday in its
balance sheet for 1921 an item OF S16.-
3S9,914 of capital liabilities. which had
not appeared in an annual statement
before. 1t included presumably. the
amount involved in the pipe line transac-
ton.

BOND NEWS AND NOTES.
A Big Loan Expected

The grapevine route in banking cir
cles disclosed yesterday that big loan,
say from s40,0o0,000 to s50,o00,000, was
being groomed for public offering early
next week, possibly on Monday. Just
what the loan would be was not ascer-
tanned yesterday. but the recent rise IN
the outstanding Dutch East Indies bonds
caused dealers to suspect that at least a
part of the balance OF the s100.000.oo0
Dutch East Indian loan, of which
$40, ,000, 900 has been sold in. this market.
would be offered to the public soon.
Denial that a Dutch East Indies. Belgian
or Peruvian loan was. in immediate
prospect, however. was made at the
Offices of interested bankers. Bankers
not within the immediate discussion arc
puzzled as to the nature of the forth
coming loan. but admission that big
loan will be put out early next week
was easily obtained.
