me If these bonds are solid afd your

bonds are safe Investments: Straus plan

5 per cent bonds, Rio de % Janeiro eIen per

sbes new stock
Is just being issued?-. A. K.
Answer-You are getting an average
coupon rate of about per cent more
than a conservative investor should
expect to receive under present mar
ket conditions, and about 3 per cent
more than gilt-edge bonds offer. In
the field of investment, as much as in
any other, you cannot expect to get
something for nothing. Take an in
stance of Bolivian bonds. They yield
~ per cent more on the rate Of re-
turn than. the best industrial or rail
road bonds yield. In other words,
the income return in dollars is about
70 Per cent more than you would re-
seivo Oh ah investment OF similar
amount of money in giit-edge bonds.
The further you get away from the
standard Of safety in bonds the more
income you receive and the more risk
you take. We do not regard the
Bolivian, Brazilian and Rio de-
Janeiro bonds as high grade invest
ments and we would not recommend
the use Of any part Of your capital for
the purchase of any Of the three,
There is much uncertainty in French
securities. The domestic bonds are
reasonably good. Gimbel's preferred
is fairly good.

I understand that soma brokerage flrm is

Answer--If the woman In whose In
terest you write must place every
safeguard around her capital, we do
not think the Empire Gas and Fuel
bonds are at all suitable. You are
right in assuming that the excessive
rate Of return betokens an element
of risk. We regard the Chesapeake

better security for her to hold.

MY MARRIAGE PROBLEMS
 New Phase REVELATIONS OF A WIFE

could not turn my head to look, bur I could see in my mirror, so close
 were they, how their lights swerved | from one side of the road to the other
 One boon their drunkenness gave me, Despite their cut-out, their Iswerving reduced their speed almost Incgligibly, it Is true, but still enough to enable me to forge ever so slight Ily ahead. And with brain sharpcned by necessity, l knew what I must do.
 Just before getting into Bridge hampton there is turn in the roAd, and a few feet beyond it cross road, each winding in the fashion of the old Indian trains from which most of the roads in our section sprane, each heavy with tree shadows. l knew that l could not keep up the gruel- ing pace much longer, but l put on an extra spurt until l rounded the curve almost literally upon one wheel. and immediately afterward dived down the darkest of the cross roads, turned off lights and switch-key sim utantously, and guided the car in to the shadow of the bushes at the side of the road on it's own momeh- tum.
 Then hardly daring to breathe, l heard the other car roar by, heard also loud imprecations as they real ized that they could no longer see my light in front of them.
 I had turned into a road leading In the general direction of the farm house, but by roundabout route, and the minute the other car down the road I started my own. and rapidly drove northward along the winding road l had entered.
 It was perhaps ten minutes later when faint and far to the right of me again heard the machine gun like roar of Cut-out. I have not a ma chinery mind, and I was unable to determine whether or not the car was the same as the one which had pur- sued me, but my ina gination and my fears immediately identified it as the same car, And as the noise rap idly drew nearer I realized that there must be road crossing the one I was on, Then through the bushes at right angles I saw the light of an ap- preaching motor heard again ths me.
 And then-sQuarely across the crossroad in front of me-the big car slowed down and stopped, blocking my path.

greeted this remark. Nobody liked Peter Mink, Every one hoped that Solomon would make good his threat
 Let me see," Solomon went on when the noise had stopped, What s the next thing, now that school has beGun?"
 "Recess!" shouted Matthew Musk rat And a good many of the pupils began 10 think that Paddy Muskrat's s eldest son wasn't quite so stupid as they had supposed. Recess! Recess" the whole school clamored,
 "Nery well," Solomon told them. You may all have recess now-ex- oept the dunce" he added, turning hls gaze upon Jimmy Rabbit, T hear that the dunce of school must always be kept in during recess,'
 Now, Jimmy Rabbit didn't like that very well. He watched his friends troop away Into the woods And when he looked at the teacher he saw that Solomon Owl was taking a nap.
 The teacher slept on and on. An hour passed. Yet the pupils did not return. They're waiting for the ttdtntT lp Ilile ln' Dtli, JlIn1Ily thought He has no bell He'll never be able to call them back He'll be terribly angry. I---1 think I'd better run and hide"
 He had taken just one hop when Solomon Owl woke up.
 Stop" he commanded. Where are you going? You're the dunce You can't leave the school until I give you permission"
 What school?" Jimmp asked him.
 What school? This school of course! Where are the rest of the pupils?"
 T don't know" said Jimmy Rab- bit Haven't you been asleep? Haven't you been dreaming?"
 My goodness." cried Solomon Owl. T must have been. And I've had the queerest dream! I thought was schoolteacher!"
 Jimmy Rabbit grnned
 People will laugh when they hear about it. he chuckled.
 Don't tell anybody" Solomon beg ged him, T wouldn't have this story get out-not for anything"

did. On the ground below were t.le scholars. And in the back row, as fal from the teacher as they could get were Jimmy Rabbit and Billy Wood chuck.
 Solomon Owl gave his queer, roll ing cry. Schools begun" he boom ed. And first of all. I must pick my pet. I understand that every teach. CT has one" He stared down at his pupils. T believe I'll choose Master Meadowmouse, he added presently
 But Master Meadowmouse didn't want to be teachers pet. He was ter swooped at him a hundred times-or maybe a hundred and one. With a squeak of fright he dashed from his place in the second row and ran off into the woods
 Well, I can't have him" Solomon Owl remarked somewhat saiIy. "Who would like to be my pet? First come, first served.''
 "I would" cried Peter Mink, be- fore anybody else could speak.
 Then that's settled" said Solomon though I would never have chosen Peter Mink for my pet, because he's a ruffianly. duarrelsome agabond. !, And now I must decide who's to be my brightest pupil for I'm told there has to be a brightest pupil in every school"
 Again Solomon Owl looked from one to another of his pupils,

 Matthew Muskrat,"
 "Well, Matthew-you're going to be my brightest pupil. Try not to dis appoint me. If I ever ask the school a question, be sure to answer it first, no matter if you're wrong"
 Matthew Muskrat promised
 And now" said Solomon, T must pick somebody for dunce Let me see, Who shall it be?''
 Jimmy Rabbit" Matthew Musk rat cried. waving a paw in the air.
 Solomon Owl hadn't really meant to ask the school that question. He was only talking 10 himself, But he was much pleased at the promptness of the brightest pupil
 "Excellent. Excellent" Solomon Owl praised him. Jimmy Rabbit Is the dunce. And everybody laughed, because Jimmy Rabbit had the him. best wits of anybody in the school.
 Then Solomon turned his great staring eyes upon Peter Mink. "The pet may now come up here in this tree and sit beside the teacher" he said,
 But Peter Mink snarled back that he wouldn't do it.
 Tut! tut" Solomon Owl thunder ed. That's no way for a pet to speak. I'll let it pass this time.' But before this term is finished I'll make a good, polite pet of you if l have to scratch all the fur off your back"
 An uproar from the whole school

Inside a white -enameled fence tha

 d chubby year-old little lady wobblet 1 rompers were adorned with an em
 broidered chicken and an embroid cred pup respectively, and on tn, wee overblouse was an embroidered kitten. These cherished animal! served a noble purpose Whenever their owner fell down, mother had taught her to look quick to see il any of them were hurt-which saved many a baby tear.
 Just now her round cheeks were tanned with sun and flushed with pleasure. her blond curls awry with the breeze. Her fingers were tightly clutched about a gnarled forefnger and deep seagoing voice gently rumbled:
 "Avast there, Commodore, port your helm or you'll sink your craft. You're bit short of sea-legs and you heel too much to leeward. But your old shipmate's standing by"
 And the baby gurgled and beamed.
 From the white columned porch of a colonial cottage with apple-green blinds in which a little tree was scroll sawed, came Connie.
 "You'l be having Nora swearing sea -oaths next, Uncle Dale." she laughed with the deep note of love in her voice. But you're a specialist in navigation so I oughtn't complain, Here's Mary to give Nora her dim ner. Will you come and get yours ?'

Around the curve of boulevard that led from Manhattan Island to the pretty new suburb of West Forest Hills, in Queensborough, swept bright new Gypsy, with Fred Dale in the seat.
