The replicas were made possible,
however, by the cooperation of Prof.
Sigurd Russell, for twenty years a
resident Of Paris and now a French
instructor, and Theodore Kosloff,
screen player, who plays the villain
role of the chief Apache in the new
picture.
The Cafe DIES Apaches" setting
was constructed from sketches sub

in Paris, Mr.. KoslofG was invited bv
Madame Efroosic to give an Apache
dance at big function. To provide
an exact Interpretation of the dance,
Mr.. Kosloff visited the Apache
haunts with member of the order.
There he observed the habits and
customs Of the Apaches, which he has
helped bring to the screen in "The
Green Temptation"

4 Little Out Of Our Line

Curstion--A number of my relatives and
friends have invested in Fox farming stock
am seriously considering doing likewise
rot. however Until have obtained in
formation and advice in the matter. Is It
asking toe much of YOU II request heip
from you in the way OF advice and an ex-
future of domestic COX culture silver black
fox IN particular will much appreciate
any consideration YOU may AFFORD me
Miss II. A.
Answer-Our views on tho probable
future of the domestic fox arc slightly
nebulous. In fact, we always thought
of the subject, when VIC thought Of it
at all. as something so bound up with
the trend of feminine fashion as to be
scarcely within our province. However.
since you have stopped from the
heights where such matters arc better
understood than in our realm and non
ored us with request for an express
SION OF opinion. we shall do our best
demand for the fur of the domestic fox,
silver or black. springing as it muc;
largely from the vagar,cs Of feminine
fashion. we arc inclined to think tha.
the actual operation Of the necessary
plant would be a most uncertain un-
dertaklnE 1t is generally understood.
We think. that the raising Of wild
ANIMALS IS rather uncertain under
taxing. They arc susceptible to cpl
demics OF various kinds and do not, as
rule. thrive under attempted domcs-
tcatlon. All these things incline us
very decidedly to the belief that stock
IN such an enterprise must be regarded
as cntlrely speculative and quite un-
suitable for purchase by people of
limited means

vcstments.-J. c. G. "
Answer-Of course, if the statements
which the United States High Soccd
Steel and Tool Corporation makes in
the circular you inclosc regarding it's
product and the economics which it
has been able to introduce are correct
the stock may present an attractive
speculative opportunity. But even if
tEey are true the stock is not an ;r-
vestment, because the company must
stili meet many problems SUCCESSFULLY
to bring profits to its stockholders.
The company has been making these
same statements for more than wear
to our knowledge in the endeavor to
dispose Of its stock. Even the silver
tongues OF the Business Builders
statesmen were unable to sell anv large
amount of it, and as the result of their
dallurc, we are informed, the United
states High Speed Steel and Tool Cor
polation DID not renew its contract
with the Business Builders, who are
no longer acting as selling agents for
the company's stock. From an invest
ment point of view we certainly do
not think that it would be good policy
tor you to buy three more shares Of
this STOCK, and as mere speculation
II IS not attractive, in our opinion.

Terminal costs havc grown moro

Answer-The Pennsylvania Railroad
has inspired just the sort of feeling on
the part of investors that you so we'll
describe. During the Civil War its
credit was as high as that of the
United States government. There is
no comparison between the Pennsyl-
vania and the New York, New Haven &
Hartford in so far as management is
concerned. Tho New Haven undertook
doubtful expert ment and carried il
out in a costly way.
The Pennsylvania has attempted to
build for far in the future, and the
magnificent achievement of the Hud
son tunnels, both as TO cnrineerjnr
skill and as to defiance Of Tammany
Hall. stands as a record that the pres
ent management may we'll be proud Of.
In case such as this, however. it Is
absolutely essential, in our opinion. 10

Answer With as sound an invest
ment scheme in general as yours, aud
with the will to work and save which
your letter shows, we would be strong
ly inclined to confne purchases to
strictly Investment securities, which
would not include United States Rub

have to add something to the 5000
that you would have available, but we
think that the greater security would
be well worth the diflercncc. Even
preferred stock is dependent on
earnings, and the Pacific Gas and Elcc-
trio situation is not. in our opinion,
comparable TO that Of such companies
as the American Locomotive or United
States Steel, where the equity in sur
plus and the assurance given by lone
record OF past earnings put the pre-
ferred stock in a strictly investment
class.
