 The present. chief suit is, on; the surface simply an action in the New York Supreme Court brought by Frank Jay Gould who seeks to have his brother Edwin Gould removed from the trusteeship of the estate.
 But behind it, and mixed up with It. and leading out of it, are scores of other law sits with testimony already piled up which has run into thousands and thousands of typewriter foios.'

Everyman's investments
THIRD ARTICLE.
By GEORGE T. HUGHES

Copyright, 1924, by Consol. Press Assn.
An old college friend, one of the
sduarest and most capable men / ever
knew, asked me to introduce him to
an investment banker. He had built up
profitable manufacturing business
that was growing so rapidly he wished
to issue 100000 in bonds to care for
new business. l was present when
my friend laid before the investment
banker a complete report OF his busl-
ness. We all three knew it was the
whole truth and nothing but the
truth.
Excellent" said the investment
banker, "but would not touch it. IL
is a common stock proposition. Your
security would make the bonds safe
if you had no misfortune or severe de-
pressions, but it isn't sufficient to as
sure absolutely full payment Of the
bonds should you fail. don't think
you will fail. A man could afford to
take the fair business risk in buying
your stock because the probability OF
excellent dividends would pay for the
risks. There is every indication that
you will continue to pay excellent
dividends. But bond buyer could not
assume the same risk for the lower
yield of bonds"
you have three economic weak
nesses." the investment banker said
indicating the report. labor troubles
could cripple you. Your patents are
exceedingly valuable. Suppose other
patentable devices are developed that
make yours obsolete. Your patents
would be worthless as security for
your bonds.
"That's on the bond buyers side.
It wouldn't be fair to your business
to bond you so heavily. 1t would risk
your future credit. Yes. l know that
n bond issue, il feasible. would be
the cheapest way for you to obtain
capital, but it wouldn't be wholly fair
to nv customers to let them take even
a slight risk. and it wouldn't be fair
to your bushes to tie it up in loan
that might make future loans diff
cult, Issue stocks. In your business
they are an excellent buy"
This investment banker handled
only bonds. took my friend to an In
vestment banker who handled both
stocks and bonds. A stock issue was
sold quickly to well-to-do-business men
who knew the investment banking
house and who recognized the stock
as an excellent purchase.
Ny friend. like a great many other
good business men. up to that time
had known virtually nothing of cor
porate finance. which is the proper
arranging of stock or bond issues OF
an enterprise so that the enterprise
will have the best opportunity for sue
cess and the investors the greatest op-
portunity for safety or profit. That is
one example of how sound securities
are made. It is a careful. scientific.
procedure. It is wholly different from
ths uake.believe stocks and bonds
that Glib crooks offer the inexpe-
| rienced with promises of impossible re-
| turns.

THE IRA SETS FORTH.

Paralleling the ambitious journey of
the airship Shenandoah around the
boundaries of the United States is the
transatlantic flight of the IRIS, built at
the Zeppelin works in Friedrichshaven,
Germany. This monster is larger than
the Shenandoah, with longer cruising
radius and a greater passenger capacity.
1t left Germany yesterday morning and
will take the southern route by way of
the Azores, because of the unsettled
weather in the northern seas. The max
ers have given the new giant thorough
trial under actual flight conditions, and
are using every precaution to insure her
successful arrival on this side, and safe
delivery to the United States govern
ment. She is the largest airship afloat,
and is looked upon as the last word in
construction of this kind. 1t is hoped
that this nation will not be disappointed
in the expectation of great public serv-
ice from the huge dirigible.

The feaEettIe
BY DIR. FRANK CRANE

NF ALL the little sounds that have their
say to the human soul, as it fingers its
allotted days upon this earth, none
means quite so much of rest and peace,
cosiness and cheer, as the singing Of the tea
kettle. -J MS
May the Lord help all those unfortunate
children who have been brought up in hotels
or elsewhere, where they have never had the
privilege of slipping out into the kitchen, SIT
ting adream in a chair, and hearing the kettle
burst into its purring song.
It is hayward, wandering melody the
kettle sings, mysterious as wind-music 10
trees, as fire-crackling on the. hearth, as bee
droning and broOk-gurglingi mysterious and
tunefui as life itself. qss: :
1t is the most optimistic of all noises. lit
says to the heart of man that all will be well,
fathers coming home, mothers about to get
supper, and the boys and girls are waiting,
hungry and happy. Who could believe hard
and >cruel things or be the least bit afraid
of the devil and all his works, with that sweet
wagering, rising song in his ears?
1t means home. .--
All the joy, the intimacy, the protection.
the fellowship, the love and laughter of home
is in that noise. 20
When l am about to die, and SILVER at
the dread loneliness of the unknown before
me, sing ME no artful hymns and make me no
speeches of well-meant platitudes, but put on
the kettle and let my soul go home to break
fast in eternity with that homiest of noises
whispering human cheer and hope.

NO REFERENDUM NEEDED.

That the fight by health authorities,
physicians and others who are concerned
for the public health of this community
has attracted considerable interest and
comment in other parts of the state and
elsewhere is shown by an editorial obser-
walton from the Gadsden Times under
the title, Birmingham Milk Row.:
One of the queerest things an the world
is the, amount Of support that can be
drummed up in almost any American COM
munity for something which is not worthy
of thought. A case in point is found in
Birmingham where % raw milk dealers
are trying to nullify the efforts of so
per cent of the dairymen and dealers of
the district, the health authorities, the
doctors and the city officials in trying
to give the city a supply of wholesome
milk The raw milk dealers claim that
If the matter is left to a vote of the peO-
pie, their side of the controversy will win
by majority of to l.
This matter will probably never reach
che extreme point of referendum. The
health experts, the physicians and most
citizens realize that the controversy in
wolves the public health and the public
welfare The absurdity of a referendum
60 settle a situation that directly affects
the health of community, in order to
satisfy small minority of milk dealers,
IS obvious.

Brief Nature Studies

Nv yHERE morning stars sing together
w above woodland valleys from which
summer birds have flown the still
blnshing swamp naples shown they were
shocked last night by the moOnlit passion of
love and grief of Aphrodite, goddess of vege-
tatiOn and reproduction, over the dying
Adonis, embodiment of the annual decay and
recurrence of flowers. Gray ledgers are ruddy
red with Virginia creeper and poison ivy.
The yellow blossoms of lemOn-scented Collin
sonia have fallen. There is a subtle sadness
through the wood as of approaching twilight
of the gods"
But here and there, where plant lift is late
and frosts have not touched, there stand in
dewy purity and beauty among the pluto
cratic golden-rod and loud cOlored asters the
graceful slim stalks of starry campion, Silene

Campaign Fund

The Age-Herald is receiving contributions
for the Democratic presidential campaign
fund from its readers.
The time is growing short in which to COM
plete the, swing of votes to the Democratic
ticket. What is done must be done within
three weeks. Those who expect to contribute
to the campaign fund should do so now If
they want their money to do the utmost good.
1t begins to look as if the Borah resolution
of inquiry will keep the Republican contribu-
tions lower than they would otherwise be.
Therefore, the Democrats are not under the
heavy financial handicap that has often kept
them out of the White House.
A dollar counts more in this campaign than
it has in previous campaigns, for it has to
offset fewer privilege dollars on the other
side.
Contribute to the Democratic effort and to
the~success of John w. Davis.
Party loyalty has thus an additional man
ner in which it may serve the party.
If many will give moderately, the total will
be sufficient.
But in this community many are not giving
even moderately.
Is the cause not worthy one?

DAVIS GROWS IN FAVOR.

! Mr.. John w. Davis starts his second
Ewing into the West under more favor
ble auspices than on the first visit, be-
ause then he was unknown while now
eople have come to understand and re-
pect him. There is also in his favor the
apparently declining appeal of the Cool
dge silence. At first that silence was so
unique in a presidential campaign that
people were attracted by it as by any
thing new. For a time the Coolidge 81
Ience was taken as a sign of Coolidge
depth of thought; but his utterances have
fallen SO far short of profundity as to
blast that impression. There is a grow
ing conviction that if Coolidge were a
deep thinker or had some profound pro-
cram on his mind, sooner or later there
would be evidence of that in his public
iutteranees.
Admiration for a man who keeps his
own counsel is giving way to resentment
at a man who expects people to elevate
him to high office without receiving from
him those spoken public assurances and
discussions of public questions without
which people are unable to judge him.
The Coolidge incumbency of the chief
executive position has not been sane
toned by the popular vote. There are as
many executive acts of Coolidge tending
to arouse doubt of his fitness as there
are acts tending to confirm belief in his
fitness. His mysterious delay in acting
on the tariff commissions recommends
ton for a decrease in the sugar tariff ;
his championship of Mellon, right or
wrong; his indecision when members Of
his cabinet and of high office were proved
NO be manifestly unfit; all these things
land more are gradually working to the
urface of the public consciousness and
