H|GH-GRADE BOND

By GEORGE r. HUGHES.
,y Special Leased Wire to The Star.


NEW YORK, September 1s-As far
as prime investment issues were con-
cerned todays bond market was q
complete reversal to that Of Monday.
Then the concern over the situation
in the near east was reflected in
quotations for highgrade as well as
speculative securities.
Demand for the best bonds today
was firmly sustained. The improve
lnent was not SO marked In the
more speculative iSs"es. Dealers in
bonds OF the latter grade still had
large debit balances. which they were
apparently anxious TO reduce.
Liberties shared in the general i'm
provement. Confidence was express
ed that the bonus bill would be vetoed
in such vigorous terms as to insure
tho veto would stand.
The recovery was especially mark
ed in foreign bonds. The French is
all gained today. French 71ss at 81
were up :, of point and the IS
gained almost as much.
City of Bern IS advanced more
than a point.

they reacted later in the day. In the
early dealings the United Kingdom
SIS of 1887 were an apparent eX-
ception, but here the loss was only
fractional.

this issue were rapid and wide.

AmonE the utilities The feature

provement in the corporations earn

tention to the bonds as well as the
stock. North American Edison es
opened lower. but rallied.
In rails, Chesapeake and Ohio con-
vertible 5s went above 97.. This bond,
which is convertible into Chesapeake
and Ohio stock at so. combines specu
iative attractireness with real invest
ment merit. 1t is not only well Sc
cured. but earnings of the road have
shown gratifying improvement Of

FALLS FROM
 BOATS SIDE:
Lucy Fred Drowned in KuskOkWim, Coming
 From Bethel.

A cloud of sadness was cast over Nc Grath Monday by the news of the death, by drowning, of Miss Lucy Fred, who was returning on the Alaskan on the Alaskan from Bethel to Niyon Forks, as the guest of Mir. and Mrs. Charles Nicollet.
 The little girl. who was F years of age, fell from the side of the boat, the accident happening about four miles above Napamute. Every effort was put forth to save her. but she came to the surface only once, when Mrs. Nic- ollet saw the little hands reach from the water far to the rear of the boat.
 Following the accident, MT Nicollet returned to Napamute and apprised Commissioner Crbbe and others of the sad occurrence.
 Everyone in the community knew and loved the bright.faced little lass, she having endeared herself with all with whom she came in contact She had for almost two years until recent ly, made her home with Mr. and Mrs. H. E Carter. during which time she had been a pupil in the McGrath pub- lie school. Three sisters are here to mourn her loss-Misses Mary Fred, Bessie and Ellen Fred, the latter hay ing just arrived to make her home here.
 MT. and Mrs. Nicollet, it is needless to say, are completely grief-stricken over the most unfortunate affair, in which they have the sympathy of all in the loss of their little friend

EARTH WAVES MENACE CITY
People Of corato, in Northern Italy,
in Fear Of Another Dis
astrous Cave-ln.

Corato, n city of northern Italy,
about twenty-five miles from Beri, has
again been visited by "earth-waves,"
which in the past have caused much
damage there. Buildings cxtendin.
for almost Il mile were demolished
and the 10000 inhabitants are living
in dread lest the undulatiunS continue
and ruin the entire ncighhrrhoud.
Three thousand of them. carrying
their belongings, have sought refuge
in nearby towns.
The earth waves came Just at a
time when the government was con-
Sidering plans to appropriate 1000, 900
lire for the complete rebuilding Of
COratO so it could withstand these
periodical cave-ins.
Corato is situated over subter-
ranean body of water, the currents Of
which cause the terrain to shift oc-
casionally. The governments plan is
to drain this water. rebuild a number
OF houses and change the direction Of
certain streets so as to prevent the
cave-ins.
The present disturbance ruined
more than a third OF the city, while
the remainder Is IN constant danger
Of destruction.

WILL MAKE GAS ON THE FARM
FIivver Fuel Can Be Manufactured
BY the Farmer From His
Waste Products.

In few years many kinds OF farm
waste will be converted successfully
Into liquid or gasoline fuel writes
Floyd w. Parsons In the Worlds
Work. For some time alcohol has
been manufactured in large quantities
from "blackstrap" molasses, but now
we find that 1t is possible to obtain
$50 pounds of potash from each ton
OF this low.grade molasses, in addi-
ton to the liquid fuel. During the
war the price Of potash averaged as
high as $1,000 a ton.
Federal chemists have found II
possible to obtain gas by the distilla-
ton OF wheat, oat and rye straws. 1t
Is not to0 much to expect that one
day straw gas and gas made from
cornstalks, corncobs and other vege-
table matter will be used by farm.
ers to supply light and heat for their
homes, power for their stationary en-
gnes and fuel for their tractors and
motorcars. Fifty pounds Of straw
will produce 800 cubic feet Of gas
an amount sufficient to drive light
roadster Is miles. The next step in
this experimental work will be the
perfection Of method of reducing
the gas to liquid form SO TINT It NAV
be carried conveniently as a motor
fuel.
