Four Hours.

QUEBEC, February 9.-Many dra-
matte stories are told by the men
and women who escaped yesterday
from the pieces of the broken ice
as they recovered from the shock Of
their experiences.
Three women and two men Of the
score, who at first were reported
missing, appeared to have suffered
most severely. The ice pan on which
they were marooned was carried up
stream by the tide and bobbed for
hours among the heaving cakes. once
breaking. 1t was not until after
nightfall that their little ice island
touched shore in the narrow of the
river and they were able to scramble
to the bank. just as their cake
ground to pieces.
In Bed During Search.
Then they hurried home to bed
while throughout the night searching
parties looked for them. When the
bridge broke the five found them
serves on pan surrounded by
twenty feet of open water. Hundreds
of spectators ashore, many of whom
had jumped to safety over the cakes
when the bridge fell, shouted advice,
but the marooned party, noting the
drift Of the ice, decided to wait until
the tide had carried them to the
narrows.
SiEnalIed for Help.
AS evening came on, however they
shouted for help and signalled with
matches and a fashlight. Once a
serryboat crossed within twenty feet
OF them. Four hours passed and the
tide turned. AS the five were plan
ming last desperate attempt at es-
cape a large piece of the pan broke
off, NARROWING one of the women
The others jumping, reached her and
then leaped again to the next cake.
There they remained until long after
dark.
Then we noticed we were not
moving any more, said Philip
Couture in describing the adventure.
Il flashed a light and saw the ice
jammed on shore. We had reached
the Atkinson yards. Christopher
Columbus had nothing on US when we
saw the land"
Asked why they had not informed
the rescue parties of their safety,
Couture said he and his companions
We're 80 nervous" they simply went
nome to bed.

IKE TO say that l heartily agree with

interference encountered by fans is
due to careless tuning of regenerative
sets. Ii regenerative set owners would
pay careful attention to their tuning
! they would soon find that Silent

For example. the other night I was
able to hear XIII on a loud speaker
at l2:U5 am, while WCAP was broad
casting. but before that hour several
regenerative set owners who were
! near me were tuning in carelessly
and L was not able to pick up this
station clearly for the reason that
these sets were re-radiating a good

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
By George T. Hughes
Thirty-Fourth Article.
Marketability.

The question of marketability is
one which the intending investor
should carefully consider. BY mar
reliability is meant the possibility OF
selling a security at any time, IN
the case of a bond before it natures.
a stock, of course, has no maturity
date, and the only way you can
realize on your investment is by DIS
posing of it to some one else. Now
investments vary greatly as to mar
reliability. As a rule the larger the
corporation and more easily infor-
nation about it's affairs Is obtain
able the better the marketability.
The stock and the bonds of small
local corporation may be perfectly SOUND
investments but the number OF peo-
pie acqua inted with its prosperity is
necessarily limited and no one is
investor is willing, to buy securities
about which he has no information
The result is you may have to shop
around a long time before you nho
some one ready to take over your
holdings.
Investors have different require
mentS as to mark eta bRlty. Ine
business man who may suddenly re-
quire cash for his business must nave
readily mark etabIe securities. More
over. ordinarily only marketable Sc
curities can be pledged at the bank
for loan. On the other hand one
who has retired from active business
and who does not expect to have any
sudden need of funds may he able to
take comparatively unmarketable
security.
In this connection there is good
deal of confusion over the matter OF
listing Some people have the idea
that all listed securities have good
market and that all unlisted secur-
tiles are hard TO sell. That is not
the case The mere fact of listing
does not necessarily insure good
market and many unlisted stocks and
bonds are actively traded in "oyer
the counter as the phrase is. Other
things being equal you should be able
to get slightly higher yield on the
less marketable stock or bond to
compensate yourself for this handi-
cap.

OMAHA, June 21.-Something of an
old-time frontier welcome is prom
ised the hundreds of delegates and
visitors when they arrive here for
the 6our-day convention of the In
tern3tional Association of Lions
Clubs.
The Omaha outfit has borrowed
from Cheyenne the original stage
coach which used to run the CANT
let of the Indians across the plains in
the days of Buffalo Bilr' Cody and
wild Bill'' Hickok. 1t will be used
to haul International President John
S. Noel of Grand Rapids and other
dignitaries to headquarters. The
committee announces that it has ar
ranged for other appropriate features.
An old-fashioned barbecue, a rae
ing meet at Omaha's track, and many
lesser events have been arranged
While the amusement features are
more prominent in public attention,
the Lions Clubs exist for a high and
serious purpose, the building of cit
izenship. This they accomplish by
working for all forms of civic bet
terment with chambers of commerce,
officials of city, county and state,
schools and colleges, and especially
with Boy Scouts, Camp Fire Girls
and other organizations of the young.
