Sir Charles bingham. England's
foremost advertising expert. speak
ing In New York recently, as repre-
sentative Of the tea growers of In
dia, said: 1.-THE India Tea Growers
had voluntarily asked the govern
ment to put tax of eight cents q
hundred pounds OF tea exported, and
this tax now amounting to d large
sum, was to be used 10 advertise the
virtues of India tea. He. explained
to the newspaper representatives
that the first $250,000 to he spent this
years was to be confined to the
newspapers Of Boston, New York and
Philadelphia, but that the campaign
would next year spread to Chicago
territory and eventually would cover
every city and town In the United
States. H6 further stated that this
was just the beginning Of an or
ganized move on The part Of Asso-
ciated Manufacturers or producers OF

Gallant Fight by Firemen
This is the time Of year when the
firemen Of long experience expect Sc
rfous fires. During continued intense
cold. overheated furnaces are the cause
Of many big fires. and it has been true
in the fire history of Augusta that
many of the more serious confiagra-
lions have happened at this time Of
year. 1t was revelation yesterday
to the onlookers to observe the gallant
and at all times effective work Of the
members Of the Augusta fire depart
ment. The men were in and on the
fire with an apparent utter disregard
of personal safety. in their efforts to
control the flames and prevent more
extensive destruction. Even with faces
cakes with ice. chilled ears and I'm
gers and wearing the heavily ice-ar-
pored rubber coats and hats, there
was no complaining. but rather more
intense concentration on the business
at hand. and hearty cooperation
which prevented more serious loss.
Mayor Ernest L. Mclean was an In
terested spectator while the blaze was
giving the firemen their hardest fight.
and was solicitous for the comfort and
safety Of the boys Of the department.
Charles p. Kinsman of the fire depart
ment committee Of the city govern
ment was on hand early and was In
strumentai in bringing Joy to the
hearts of the cold and d-fghting
firemen with his big can of hot coffee
which he poured for them.

or corporate holdings, has been
I evolved by leading surety companies
The plan. in effect, is an extension
of the guarantees now issued cover
ing mortgages and deferred payment
automobile notes, and will cover
state, municipal, railroad, Industrial
and public utility bonds.
There is a growing demand on the
part of investors who have their
funds tied up in diversified securities,
to obtain some kind of a guarantee"
said r. H. Towner, head of a rating
bureau which worked out the details
of the premium charges to be made
for the service. That guarantee, 1t
was thought. could be given prefer
ably through surety instrument"
While none of the surety COM
ianies so far as could be learned, has
yet written" any of the new form of
business. all of the leading companies
have notified their agents to seek
such business, subject to the approval
of the home offices.
An investor desiring to have the in
terest and principal of bonds he may
own guaranteed must submit COM
plete list of his holdings, with the ex-
I:eption of the United States liberty

sued under the authority of the Fed
cral Farm Loan Act must be includ-
ed. These provisions, IL was pointed
out, were made to prevent an invest
or submitting only his weak invest
ments, for guarantee.
The guaranteeing instruments will
be written for an annual premium OF
not less than one-half OF one percent
computed on the par value Of all the
approved investment bonds belonging
to the person or corporation seeking
the guarantee.
While the actual operation Of the
new form of insurance or surety ipond
has not yet been entirely worked out,
surety companies express the belief
that advantage will be taken Of the
guarantee by individuals and corpor-
atoms, that have their reserves in
vested in diversified securities. and
by trustees Of estates and guardians
Of minors.
Guarantees may run continuously

cluded under the surety agreement,

mature during the life Of the instru-
ment.
Bankers have hesitated to comment
on this new form of guarantee, but
they admit that it may have far
reaching effect on the field OF In
yestment banking.
1t is understood that plans have
been discussed by the surety COM
panies to extend the guarantee to en-
tire issues offered the public by cor
porations. but no definite action has
been taken on that phase Of the mat
ter.

RESCUE TWO
IN BAY HERE
Couple Had Been CIinging to
Canoe for Half an
Hour

Another rescue took place in the
Raritan Bay off this city yesterday,
when Hans Hanson, owner of a
schooner anchored near here, picked
up a young man and girl after they
had been clinging to canoe for over
a half hour.
According to the story given by
the owner of the canoe, Lawrence
Gray. of Jamaica, l.. l., he and Miss
Beatrice O'Malley, also of Jamaica,
l.. l., were sailing about in the
water between here and South Am
boy, when a heavy gust of wind
caught the sail and turned the frail
craft over before the occupants had
a chance to right it again.
Both parties were thrown out, and
the young lady unable to swim sank
beneath the surface of the water.
Gray Immediately dove down after
her and, bringing her to safety again,
both clung to the canoe until they
were picked up. Gray says that they
drlfted about the bay for over a half
hour before they could attract the
attention of passing boats.
Hanson. who made the rescue was
standing on the deck of his schooner
when he heard the cries of the two.
He Immediately put out in a small
row boat and brought them to shore.
