FROM the Manchester Guardian,
A report comes from England that
DR.. Milligan, the medical officer Of
health for Reading. who has made a
comparison between the heights and
weights Of Reading children and
American children in the last three
years, finds the latter considerably
heavier and taller.
The average twelve-year- boy
In the English town Is SAX inches
tall and weighs seventy-three pounds,
as against an average American
height OF 66& inches and q weight of
seventy-nine pounds We will not
insist on placing much Importance on
figures taken from only one English
town, nor will We find them partfcu-
larly fattering constdering the fact
that England has to Lear far greater
postwar prfvations thnn America.
For the last ten years children have
had better chance to develop physi-
cally In America than In any Of the
European countries. They should
grow better in England.
Superior height, however. is nothing
new to America. 1t is a we'll known
fact that descendants of English and
European Immigrants to that country
of about the third generation are apt
to be considerably taller than their
ancestors 1t Is not a mere fancy
that has made the traditional Uncle

INVESTMENTS
By George r. Hughes

FIRST MORTGAGES.

A good deal OF confusion exists In
the minds Of prospective investors as
to "hrst mortgages" There seems
to Be = sort Of magic about the term
first mortgage which blinds the eyes
OF many to other considerations which
are just as Important. Now 1t goes
without sayiu1 that q first mortgage
10 better than second mortgage on
the same property. 1t is perfectly
possible, howeva. for a second or
even a third mortgage on one piece
of property to be better than hrss
mortgage upon some other piece OF
property. 1t is even true sometimes
that the unsecured obligation OF one
corporation is better than tue secured
obligation of another.
Take, for instance, two OF the nigh
est grade investment bonds listed % on
the New York Stock Exchange. The
first Is United States Steel sinking
fund 5s Probably no Industrial
listed issue has "A higher rating. and
yet it is second mortgage on the
property of the United States Steel
also 5 per cent issue, but is un-
listed and so closely held that IL is
rarely dealt in. The other case Is
that of the General Electric deben-
ture 5s. These are not secured by
mortgage at all, but depend for their
investment merit upon the credit of
the General Electric Company. And
SO II does not necessarily follow that
the fact that a bond is secured by
first mortgage puts II in the highest
class. What you must consider in
each case is the equity in the prop
erty over and above the amount of
the loan and the credit standing of
the borrower

"On the brightest days the sun

1t is the number OF baths that fixes
