EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
BY GEORGE r. HUGHES.
CONSTRUCTION LOANS.
Sixty-fifth Article.

In preceding article I pointed out
that more care was needed in invest
ing in the securities of a new enter
prise than in one which had demon
strated it's earning power. That
article considered only stocks from
this standpoint To less degreet
however, the same applies to bonds.
For instance, only the other day an
investor wrote me that he was the
owner of tie bonds of a railroad COM
pany outside continental United
States which had just defaulted their
interest He said that he had bought
the bonds in good faith as an invest
ment and not as a speculation, and
that they were recommended by a
reliable banking house. Probably at
the time he made his investment he
did not notice that these bonds were
issued on a road to be built In other
words, it was a so-called construction
ICan.' There is no record of earnings,
only estimates of what the property
would earn after the road had been
built and had been put into operation.
These estimates were never realized,
the project failed and the bonds de-
faulted.
There are many of these construc-
tion loans offered to investors and
some of them are entirely sound, but
.'' "a SidSS tHcs uo nOl 6Iduc DIS mig IL
as bonds which are a lien on prop
erty already income paying. When
you are asked to buy a security based
on future prospects rather than upon
accomplished results it is necessary
to examine the sitaution with con-
siderable care. You have no income
statements over a period of years to
go by. You can only judge the
offering first by the investment bank
ing house that UNDERWRITERS it, and
second by the record of the manage
ment of the corporation in similar
enterprises.
In any case you must take little
more risk than if you were buying
a bond the record of which is avail
able for examination. In return for
this slightly greater risk which varies
with the security you are entitled to
a little higher return. You will find
too that the open market appraises
bonds in this way making the same
distinction that I have tried to make.

CLARENDON. Va. September Is
Until the new high school being
erected for use of Washington and
Arlington districts IS completed, the
seventh and eighth grades of the dis
tricts and the first year of high school
Will be placed on halliday basis,
according to an announcement by
Prof. Fletcher Kemp, county superin-
tendent of schools.
Halliday training for these grades,
Prof. Kemp states, is made necessary
by the fact that all OF these grades
are to be housed in one school, the
new BallSton School. He points out
that many people are asking why the
higher grades are being put on half
day basis while the lower grades are
allowed to go the full time. He eX
plains this by stating that if this new
arrangement had not been made and
the schools were operated under the
old system of eight grades to a school
building. il would have been neces-
sary to put the first to six grades on
a halliday basis on account of crowd
ed conditions. This would have
placed about $500 children in this
class. Under the new arrangement,
