MARINE TRAFFIC TO
 ARGENTINA INCREASES

BUENOS AIRES, Nov. 1.-The port of Buenos Aires is resuming it's pre- war activity. No les sthan seventeen vessels came in during single day re- gently, a greater number than has been reported since the close of hos, tilities.
 The arrivals of the record day in cluded five passenger liners, two from Germany, one from England, one from Italy and one from Holland, and twelve freighters- Among the latter were vessels of British, American, Norwegian, French and Spanish reg ister, and their ports of departure were most diversified. Lumber was brought from Mobile and Gulfport, oil from Tampico, coal from Cardiff and general merchandise from Hamburg Curiously enough the coal from Cardiff came in French bottom, while the cargo from Hamburg was carried by a Spaniard.

COURT PROCEDURE IN
 MEXICO BE IMPROVED

MEXICO CITY, Nov. IT. - Use of the "amparo" as a legal recourse in Mexico is to be restricted in blll which the government intends to present to congress. Abuse of the measure is the reason. President Ob- regon recently declared that in many instances persons arrested have al ready provided themselves with an "amparo" which secures their i'm mediate release without bail"
 '"The "amparo" is one of the most generally used and at the same time the most complex procedures to be sort of injunction and writ of hab- eas corpus combined, and is em- ployed either to restrain court from acting or to secure the re lease of prisoner from custody. At torneys here admit that an exact definition of the word is impossible, and point to the fact that books have been written about it, with it's spe- cific meaning and origin still ob- scure.

AIR PASSENGER SERVICE WILL
 BE INCREASED

LONDON, Nov. IT. = The London Berlin airway, the first section of which-that between London and Holland-was opened recently, com pletes an aerial service of eleven planes leaving London daily for the Continent. The popularity of the airways among tourists during the past summer has led to plans for routes to be opened in the spring which will connect London by air with all of the principal points with in radius of 800 miles.
 These plans included daily trips to Scotland, Deauville, Denmark, Ireland and Luxemburg. It is pro- posed also to keep several planes for special trips, feature of trav- elling which has proved popular with American tourists. The cost of these
 journeys is about four pence (eight cents) a milep
 The new London Berlin route is being operated by an English com pany, and double service will be run in each direction from Rotter- dam daily until the route is com pleted. The trip will take two and a half hours, and will be made for
 G4, or little more than 312d mile. The second stage of the journey will be opened this month, when the route will be from London to Ham burg and Berlin.
 At the present time five. planes are making eight trips daily between London and Paris, carrying an aver age of three persons on each trip.
 The routes to Rotterdam, Brussels and Antwerp are constantly filled in advance and carry a full capacity of freight.

 Following the advice of the old or ganist of the church, she goes to New York to study for a career. In order to pad out her scanty allowance of 5000 week, she takes position as waitress in tea room. Here she is seen by Philip Waring, wealthy New York clubman She ignores his at tempts to win her friendship.
 Her professor tells her he knows wealthy woman who will be glad to help her. It develops that she is Mrs. Philip Waring. Mrs. Waring is charmed by Margaret and gives din ner so that she may meet number of successful people; people, who, as she points out, have "lived life to the full est" in order to attain success.

She repulses him. packs her few possessions and leaves.

Question-Will you be good enough TO
give me your advice on the following In
Syestments;. must invest what littlo I
securities I could put away and not need
TO worry about. They arc as follows:
30 shares Pennsylvania Railroad stock; 10
bonds OF Geodyear Rubber 81 Tire Co,
Is41i bonds Of Bell Telephone OF Penn

Answer-Unless you are in posi-
tion to keep In touch with the affairs
of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Com
pany its 8 per cent bonds Of 1941 are
not suitable for your purpose. Al
though they are a fair investment Sc
eurity, they are subject to redemption
by call at 120 and, therefore, lack per
mancncy to certain extent. Bell
Telephone Of Pennsylvania rs are a
higher grade bond, but they are also
subject TO redemption and should not
be put away to be forgotten about"
II you are prone to worry over invest
ments you should select only those Of
the highest grade which in all prob
ability will not need to be disturbed.

Answer--Peaca Greek Drainage Dis
trict bonds were issued under q special
act of the Florida Legislature, which
created o municipal corporation with
authority to assess property owners a
sufficient amount TO provide for the
payment of interest on S256,000 of
drainage bonds and the serial payment
of these bonds, beginning with $4,000
due April 10, 1921, and increasing
bonds would be all retired 1t was
stated in the circular accompanying
the offering of these bonds that bene-
fits estimated at $2,251 ,321,75 would
accrue TO the property Immediately
affected under the plan of reclamation.
The first principal payment was. made
in 1921, but in October Of the same
year default was made in payment of
interest, with the explanation that on
account of non-payment of assessments
since 1919 by corporation owning
one-tnird Of the property in this dis
trict there were not sufficient funds in
hand. A. B. Leach e. Co. have supplied
us with this information and we do
not understand why you have been
unable to obtain it from the same
source. Although from your stand
point such an early default is dis
eouraging, In view Of tho estimated
benefits to property assessed, we are
further informed by the issuing house
that the property of the corporation
above referred TO Is to be sold and
the amount necessary TO pay assess
ments levied will be available. You

ing / have some money in the savings

OF tho hankT-Mlss C. b.
Answer-The Rossia Insurance Com.
pany of America was incorporated in
lol5 and commenced business in 1919.
Capital was 100000, composed Of
1000 shares of 800 each. EQUITIES for
the stock are stated to be about s4,9s6.-
ooo and comprise surplus of about
$3,O00,O00 and the cash value Of nm
earned premiums, the estimated value
OF winch Is 80 1-3 per cent of total un-
earned premiums, or $780, 900. These
estimates are furnished us bv a renro-
sentative of Kidder, Peabody & Co.
winch firm has purchased the business
and assets of the Rossia Insurance
Company from It's owners. The price
at which the deal was consummated is
not revealed. A stock dividend of 200
per cent paid to holders of 1000
shares raised the capitalization to
10000 shares Of 500 par, or $1,000 900,
The present offering of $4,000 shares
Of $25 par value, for subscription at
S96 share, although it does not capi-
talize the assets and capital remains at
$1,2oQ,ooo, does call upon the new
stockholders to pay for the book value
of the stock or an amount closely ap-
preaching that value. The authorized
par value. We are not sufficiently
familiar with insurance matters to be
able to Judge as TO the equitableness of
estimates and the plan in general, but
until 1t is demonstrated that earnings
are sufficient to pay dividends com
mensurate with the stock subscription
price of 50 we consider the stock semi
speculative.

Hutchins Securities

Cuegtion-Can you give me any infor4na.
tion regarding Hutchins Securities per
cent preferred2 l would like to know
principally the nature OF tho business
and tie income available for dividends
over O. period OF years Does the common
stock receive any dividends? Us there any
market for thu stock through unlisted
brokers. as ! never see any sales on the
curb &C. A. B.
Answer-The securities owned by
the Hutchins Securities Company con-
sist primarily of those of long estab-
lished fire insurance companies, it's
principal holdings being a consider
able amount of the stock of the North
River Insurance Company and the
United States Fire Insurance Company.
The company does not issue an income
statement to stockholders. Its balance
sheet shows cash and securities to be
$S,969,146, S2,275,300 preferred stock
and $l,250,000 common stock outstand-
ing, and surplus $443,846. Both stocks
are of 500 par value. The preferred
has paid annual dividends of per
cent since its organization in 1909, and
the vice-president of the company is
authority for the statement that it
always has sold at 500 share and
accrued dividend. A bid at that figure
always has been available, although
never guaranteed, it is said Divi-
dends on the common stock are paid
at the rate Of ga per cent per annum.

able information about Federal Mining and
Smelling: ! own twenty shares OF same.

sell very high for q 8 per cent stock, and
have no other means of finding out but
through you; II has a fairly good record
Of paying. but future may be different,
Is there c possibility OF company paying
any back dividend. and how Is present
situation?-O. ".
Answer-The report Of the Federal
Mining and Smelling Company for the
quarter ending April 80, 1922, shows
an excess Of receipts over expenditures
in operations OF $175,257. No account
is taken OF ore depletion or deprecia-
tion. The outlook for the company
has improved In recent months, and,
although there is an element of specu-
lation in the stock, if you have held
tho stock through what apparently has
been the worst part of the depression,
We see no reason why you should dis
pose of 1t now unless you feel you
would prefer to hold higher grade
stock.

up at any time, don't look for big

combination don't suit 9ou, kindlg gipe
me some ideG.--A. N
Answer-Your point of view is
typical of that of thousands Of small
wage earners who annually toss hun
dreds of thousands of dollars into
the marketplace with little or no
prospect of return. Your attitude
is not difficult to understand, and it
is not surprising that promoters of
questionable stocks find a host Of
gullible purchasers for their wares.
The desire for large profits and the
widespread belief that stocks provide
the medium for menoy making on a
large scale account for tremendous pur-
chases of speculative securities. 1t Is
true that not few have made inordi-
nate profits and their fame has spread
abroad, but it is equally true that a
great many more have lost their saw
ings--failures are forgotten, however.
We are charged with being too com
servative in recommending only high
grade securities and In failing to look
with favor on non-dividend paying COM
mon stocks of vel managed companies
which put earnings back into the busi-
ness and promise enhanced values in the
future. Yet when it is considered that
the large proportion OF inquiries we re-
ceive come from readers who cannot, or
should not, afford TO speculate, we be-
Heve our position is sound. Those who
can afford to speculate must act on their
own judgment, themselves assuming the
risk which is the economic justification
for speculation.
There is little we need to add to make
our point clear, for in an adjoining COL
umn we are printing an inquiry from a
reader who has learned from his own
experience the tremendous cost of spec
ulati ing in stocks OF un,ertain valne.
Answering your question direct, we do
not believe your salvation lies in specu-
lation. We know 1t does not lie in spec
ulating in the stocks you mention.
We do not believe your financial posi-
tion is sound enough for speculative
purposes. If you have funds available
for investment purpose, we believe YOU
would do better in the long run to stick
to the better grade bonds, although the
return would not be much larger than
you would receive from q savings bank
deposit

ing trust certificates were sold by Sin.
clair Consolidated Oil and are exactly
the same as the Mexican Seaboard stock
except that they lack voting power,
The stock is speculative, and its recent
decline was attributed to liquidation
when production was curtailed by salt
