Masonic Memorial Museum will be

The relics directly connected with
Washington's old lodge rooms will, 1t

UTILITY BOND
TESTS
Expert Tells Requirements for
Safe Investment in Such
Securities.
BY MONROE ROBERTS.
Copyright, 1928. by Cosmopolitan


NEW YORK, April Elm the
selection of public utility bonds The
most important factors to be con-
sidered are the productiveness and
the physical condition of the prop.
.erty against which the mortgage
bonds are issued. and the financial
record of the company which is re-
sponsible for their ultimate dis
charge.
The following ten tests Of a
sound public utility bond" were
compiled today by Halsey Stuart &
Co, q nationally prominent bond
distributing organization:
The territory served by the COM
pany issuing the bonds should be
well established, progressive and as
sured Of permanence.
The management of its affairs
should be in the hands Of men of
utility properties.
Long term bonds should be COW
cred by a first mortgage on The
property.
On fair and reasonable rates,
earnings should show satisfactory
margin over all interest require.
ments.
The valuation of the properties
by conservative estimate Should
substantially exceed the total bond
ed Indebtedness.
The mortgage should provide for
ample sinking and depreciation
funds, to offset necessary main
tenance and improvements.
The company's franchise should
be free from burdensome restric.
tons and OF sufficient duration to
protect the holder of bonds.
The issue should be sufficiently
well distributed to insure q wide
market in case holder should de.
sire to sell on short notice.
The yield on the bond should be
fair one measured by existing
money conditions and by income
yields on other high grade bonds.
The bond should have the recon.
mendation and sponsorship of q re
liable and experienced bond house
which has conducted its own
thorough investigation of the Sc
curity behind it. and stands ready
to repurchase it from its own
clientele.

PAST WEEK
Manufacturing and Building
Orders Are Months Ahead,
Surprising March Stride.
BY Cosmopolitan News Service.

NEW YORK, April 21.-Brad-
streets Weekly Review of Business
says today:
Reports continue to reveal some
contrasts in the degrees of activity
witnessed in various branches or
trade and industry. Manufacturing
and building, with orders banked up
for months ahead, are at an APP
parently record pace, surprising in
some lines the speed e operation
witnessed in March. Wholesale buy
ing for the future, on the other
hand, is rather more quiet than IN
recent weeks. Occupying the middle
ground between these two branches
are jobbing trade for summer and
early fall and retail trade, which
are doing a fairly good trade. As
regards the latter branch, it might
be said that. while few days Of
good weather have helped retailers,
final distributors as whole have
hardly yet gotten into their full
spring stride, owing to unfaVorable
weather.
THAT retail spring buying Is big
and win be bigger, however, seems
certain because of the employment
of practically every man able or.
willing to work, the activity at close
to capacity operations in nearly all
constructive lines, and the wave OF
wage advances which. starting with
textile mills, has now embraced
within its reach a variety of other
lines.
'srhe fact is. that allowing for
price differences, retail trade volume
is second only to the flush buying
of the early months of 1920. The
one unfavorable feature in the en-
tire trade. situation, in fact, ID the
reported continued tagging Of col
IectiOns.
1.-THE unusually large number OF
cautionary signals issued since late
in March have been sWelled this
week by those issued by some gov
eminent departments.
Industry generally is proceeding
at a fast pace, with wooden and
cotton goods manufacturing con-,
hcernA and iron and steel mills
making new high records. March
cotton consumption broke the record
hitherto held by May, 1917. Iron
and steel, and. in fact, the metal9
producing or consuming trades gem
orally, are not far from tie 500
called capacity limit, and the .autoa
mobile trade is certainly putting up
new records. Steel capacity is
above W per cent all around ana
some mills are reported at 95 per
cent. Lack of help, despite higher
wages Offered, holds down copper
mining, which il still at about tie
foot of the active list of industries.
Reports from the farms are that
progress has been made this week
in seeding oats in the Northern
States. but that little spring whea
seeding has been possible, and D
Is per cent decrease in area from
last year is predicted in the old
spring wheat Northwest. The agri
cultural season the country over is
two to three weeks late. =
