lake investments, continues:
In the business sense, the word
investment relates to the use OF
money In acquiring ownership Of
property. Ownership may represent
entire possession OF property. as OF
a home; partial ownership, as hold
ing stock in a corporation. or con-
ditional ownership. as in the case
OF buying a mortgage or a bond.
When "a person makes an invest
ment in bonds he Is really loaning
his money to the government or
corporation issuing them. He will
receive the interest which they
earn as long as he owns them or
until they are paid off.
Ownership of great corporations
is vested in individuals who have
invested money in their stock or
bonds. Many people regard the
ownership Of the United States
Steel Corporation. for example. as
differing from the ownership Of.
say, a small workshop. Yet inves.
tors in shares of Steel Corporation
stock are entitled to the same
rights under the law as the owner
OF the workshop. In the corpora.
tion the owners hold certificates Of
stock as evidence OF their invest
ment, whereas the owner Of the lit.

LOCATION OF APPARATUS.
The panel used for this purpose
was Formica, Z inches by inches
by one-eighth inch. The holes were
first laid off. marked and center
punched. This layout should be
made on the face Of the panel and
the lines drawn with a sharp pencil
rather tlMn scriber. IL the lay
out is made on the back Of the
panel and the holes punched and
drilled from the back, there is a
decided tendency for the drill to
tear the reverse side of the hole
which would be on the front OF the
Another method would be to
make an accurate layout on q
sheet OF paper, which can then be
laid or pasted in spots on the panel
and the holes center punched
through the paper from that lay
out. Care should be taken, how
ever, that the paper is not per.
mitted to move and thus spoil the
accuracy of the location of the
holes. The eight holes at the top
center Of the panel are for the
standard double honeycomb coil
mounting. The outer four corners
of these eight carry the amount
itself, while the inner four are for
the flexible leads and should be
rounded off on both sides, which
fasten to the coil blocks and are
passed through these holes to the
proper apparatus terminals on the
other side Of the panel. Naturally,
the locations Of these holes are apt
to vary somewhat for different
makes of apparatus, but the actual
variations are not very apt to be
great enough to effect the ap-

The Typothetae opened the scale

claiming there had been decline
In the cost of living to justify such
q reduction. Touching this phase
OF the matter Judge Booth says:

is nevertheless apparent for the
casual observer that the decline Is

did I receive an answer that any

In opposition to the request Tor q
reduction in the scale the lIalion
argued for an increase Of aprkos-
mately 10 per cent.
On this point Judge Booth savs.

I am also convinced beyond perad-
venture that the record as at pres

respect warrant the establishment
Of an increased scale at this time.
