Eren Prediction of Cloudy Weather Today Fails
to Mar Pleasure of One Day That Seemed
Like Old Times.

Thousands of persons sought relief
from the sun in the shadows of the
Zoo and of Rock Creek Park and
almost as many more spent the day
along the Potomac at river camps
and in or on the water.
Everywhere there was spon-
taneous outpouring of people
cramped from sitting indoors and
watching the rain and intent on
making the most of the change
And even prediction by the
weather bureau of reversion to
cloudy weather again today did not
detract from the memories of yes
terday nor dampen the enthusia SIN
of those who today neglected an item
or two of work while they awaited
their turn to tell colleagues of their
own experiences.
Forecaster Mitchell announced that
the skies probably will clear UP
again tonight. giving the city another
taste of fair weather tomorrow, with
a temperature around so.
Washington need not look for a
permanent status of sunshine Just

BALTIMORE. July 5.-The increase
of 20 per cent in straight fare and

tr.c Railway Company by the public

wipe out the standing deficit and
place the company in a position to re-

cumulative preferred stock.
The company showed a defcit Of
$4,000 for the first five months this
year Gross earnings were a little
less than last year, but the falling off
was due chiefly to higher operating
expenses which resulted from wage
increases.
If the company's earnings increase
during the second half of the year
at the estimated rate of $4,000 it
will gain $156,500, or SUFFICIENT to
wipe out the deficit of the early
months and pay the full years div
idend on the preferred, which
amounts to $105,630 Omcials of the
company hope to accomplish this
result.
A comparison Of the new rates for
the company with those Of the COM

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
By George T. Hughes
Forty-Third Article.
Care of Securities.

During the war many new invest
ors bought liberty bonds who would
scarcely have known what a bond
was before that time. AS soon as the
bond was bought the problem arose
of how to take care of it. At that
time as a patriotic service the banks
agreed to keep liberty bonds without
charge to these new investors. They
can hardly be expected to do this
now. The best way. then, to care for
bonds, stocks. mortgages. deeds ana
a safe deposit box. which may be
done of practically all banks.
Charges for these boxes vary with
different banks and with different
cities. but the minimum Is around IS
one who has any amount OF securi-
ties at all. 1t Is taking needless
chances to keep such papers around
the home, where fire or thieves may
destroy or where they may be mis-
laid. Bonds come in two forms; cou-
change ownership by delivery. Who
ever has the bond may cut on the
coupon and cash 1t. More care must
be taken of coupon bonds than OF any
other Kind.
Registered bonds have no coupons.
Checks for the interest are mailed to
the registered holders on interest days
by the corporation. There Is not so
much danger of losing registered
bond, because 1t can be replaced, al
though this involves a certain amount
of red tape 1t may be asked. then.
" hy not always buy registered bonds.
The answer is that because OF the
time and formality to transfer own
ership the registered bond as rule
brings a little lower price in the mar
ket.
1t is sometimes desirable to dispose
of a bond promptly. and that is easier
with a coupon than with registered
bond Some bonds, but not all, are
interchangeable, the coupon for the

threatened to boycott lectures and
classes unless the fees for attending
colleges and universities are cut to
one-third of the present amounts
The threat was made at a meeting

clared that the students economically
are not in a position to afford the
fees fixed by the Prussian ministry
of culture and education They denied
that the students have gone on
strike, but said that the pecuniary
distress of the students compels
many Of them not to pay their fees
and to remain away from the lec-
lures.
1t is said that a bill will be intro
duced in the Prussian Diet to provide
public funds to make up the differ.
ence between the fees now asked and

NEW YORK, July danger OF

and the consumers coal bill ulti-

coal. it is asserted in the report OF
the storage Of coal committee of the
American Engineering Council made
public here.
The storage of coal" the report
declares lis essentially necessary as
an aid to the solution of the natior J
coal problem and is an economic and
practicable means of insuring an ade-
quate supply of coal as needed.
If each coal consumer will adopt
the policy of annually purchasirg
coal on a uniform monthly delivery
basis there will result automatically
sufficient seasonal storage to guaran- :
Furthermore, this policy will bring
about a uniform demand for coal
whereby the coal producer and car
rier may establish uniform ard stand
ard production and shipment sched-
ules.
VIII Keep Mines Open
1T will also remove the evils of
Intermittent operation of coal mines,
frequent panicky market conditions
and coal shortages due to inability Of
the carriers to meet peak demands.
while this study refers primarily
to industrial consumers of bituminous
coal, yet householders also have a di-
rect responsibility. Indeed, the house.
holder is in position to aid with
the least cost, because no special
equipment for storing and reclaiming
Is required.
The committee recommends that
all coal consumers purchase their
coal on an annual contract for yearly
requirements, with a provision that
the coal be delivered monthly in equal
a1lotments. 1t urges that consumers
provide necessary storage facilities to
meet the terms of such contra cts"
