CALL TO HOLDERS
OF MEXICAN BONDS

NEW YORK. April 2s.-The inter-
national committee of bankers on
Mexico announced yesterday it had
arranged to issue on or about May
/ the call for the deposit of bonds
under the terms of the agreement
between the committee and the Mex
lean government.
Issuance of the call to holders of
Mexican bonds is the third important
step in the program for resumption
of interest payments on the Mexi-
can securities. AS soon as enough
bonds have been deposited to au-
thorize the step the international
committee is expected to announce
the debt agreement plan operative
and begin the payment of s2,160,000
interest accrued since January 3.
The announcement was made by
Thomas w. Lamont of J. p. Morgan
& Co. chairman of the international
committee. In an informal talk with
newspaper men he stated that there
had been no important notifications
or changes in the agreement, and
that there had been the fullest accord
between the bankers and Mexican
government officials.

JADE CARVING.
Council in Japan Passes on Form
for Carving.

When an unusually large piece of
Jade is found in China. there is called
a council of artists to determine into
what shape it had best be carved, as.
owing to it's extreme hardness, the
form selected must follow somewhat
the outline indicated by the natural
formation Of the specimen. says the
Christian Science Monitor.
The artist chosen to perform the
delicate task is not altogether to be
envied. 1t is true that, if he succeeds.
he will be highly honored and re-
warded, but success depends upon his
work being approved after it has been
subjected to public criticism for a
whole year. If, at the end of that
time, his work should be condemned.
his reputation as an artist is ire
trievably lost.
The task itself is no light one.
With a thin piece Of finely tempered
brass wire, the artist may work for
a week without having anything to
show. Twenty years have not been
considered too long for a single piece
Of carving.

PERSONAL MAGNETISM.
Belief That It Is Gift of the Gods
Declared Erroneous.

THE belief that personal mag
netism is a gift of the gods and that
no man may come by it unless he is
born with it. is erroneous" says H.
Addington Bruce In Forbes Maga-
zine, "as may be shown even by a
mere enumeration of the factors
which in combination constitute
personal magnetism.
Foremost among these are self
confidence, enthusiasm, vigor In
thought and action, and, in especial l.,
human sympathy. Study the per-
sonality of any man you know to be
magnetic, in the sense of attracting
others and exercising a marked inf1u-
ence over them, and always you will
find him self-conf1dent. enthusiastic,
vigorous and sympathetic
"It is also through habitually
thinking vigorously, courageously,
cheerfully: through habitually main
tanning a manfully erect posture, at
once expressive of vigor and creative
of it, Such a posture. I may add. is
also expressive and creative of that
other prime ingredient in personal
magnetism-self-co confidence
Sympathy is of paramount impor-
tance in the developing of personal
magnetism. The most confident en-
thusiastic and vigorous of men will
find his influence over others dimin-
ished in proportion as he is deficient
in human sympathy. This being so,
and sympathy being in itself one of
the most precious of personal assets,
it's acquisition should be sought by

LIBERTY BONDS
CONTINUE RALLY
Further Inquiry for Foreign
Bonds in Today's Brief
Market.
by GEORGE II. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, April 2S.-The bond
market during the two hours of trad
inG today presented no feature Of
general interest except the continued
inquiry for foreign bonds, especially
those offering a high yield.
Czechoslovakia IS and the city of
Greater Prague 71as did the same.
while the French SIS held well up to
their previous high on this move.
Bond dealers and traders are still at
a loss to account for the sudden out
break of interest in foreign securities
and are inventing all sorts of explana
tons. the latest of which is that a
pool is operating in foreign bonds. OF
course. the sane explanation is that an
improving outlook abroad and the very
high return these bonds offer have
proved an irresistible combination.
The Mexican issues We're in demand
also today, increasing their recent
gains on the official announcement that
the call would shortly be issued for de-
posit OF bonds under the agreement be-
tween the Mexican minister of finance
and the international bankers.
