Denis Z. Connell has constructed a

the Broadway music, girl and fun

clean and enjoyable. A delicate under
current Of plot runs throughout and
the epilogue has wallop packed in
pink cotton to send the audience
away happy.
Probably the most prominent fea-
ture is the girl chorus. Time and

have sat in front Of productions cost

"A Broadway Prince" and have been
forced to listen to a group of beauti-
full dumdoras. The St. Patrick Play
ers' chorus is not only a group Of
real singers. but also is not lacking
in looks and other essential qualities.
A love story runs through the light
plot that captiyates interest and
holds attention until the final curtain.
Indeed, "A Broadway Prince" is in
reality much more than an average
amateur production.
Rev. Francis J. Hurney is credited
with assembling permanent organ

love Of it. Certainly in this instance
they put an enthusiasm coupled with
clever skill that counts admirably.

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.
INVESTMENT TRUSTS.
Efghtieth Article.

In recent months there has develop
ed large interest in the so-called in-
>yestment trusts. This is a compara-
lively new Idea in America; 1t Is an
old ore in England. Recognizing
that diversification of risk is a funda-
mental of sound investment practice
these trusts have been organized
They are holding corporations whose
only business is the acquiring of
securities. either stocks or bonds, and
issuing against these securities the
corporations own obligations. Cen
orally, these obligations are available
in small denominations so that the
investor with limited means may pur-
chase them.
So far in this country most of these
trusts have confined their investments
to one class of securities, such as
electric light and power companies,
railroads, chain stores or some other
one industry. On the other side the
diversification' is carried a step fur
ther and stocks Of different indus
tries are held by the parent organi-
zation, giving added strength to its
own securities. This is the more con-
servative course and eventually will
probably be adopted in America.
Now 1t should be clearly understood
that while this diversification does
decrease risk it does not eliminate
it entirely. Certainly that is the case
when the securities held in trust rep
resent only one kind of business. Nor
does it eliminate the natural market
movements which follow upon
changes in money rates or in the
progress of industry generally from
prosperity to depression and the re-
verse. Nevertheless. these trusts have
proper place in the investment
world and IL wisely organized and
efficiently managed offer advantages
to certain investors which they could
not otherwise obtain.
Careful attention should be given
to two points before making commit
ments in this field. One is the price
at which the investment trust offers
It's debentures. This price should
represent the cost of one block of
the combined stocks or bonds on
which it is lien plus compensat ton
for the trustee and reasonable
profit for the promoters. The other
point is the matter of a market for
the trust debentures. That should be
well established, otherwise the safety
of the entire plan is imperiled

FEW PATENT" MEDICINES.
What Pass for Such Are Generally
Proprietary Remedies.
@ When is a patent medicine no

Q. When is a patent medicine not
a patent mediciney'
A. Almost always
That, in substance. is what HygeIa,
the official health organ of the Amer
ican Medical Association. tells Its
readers in answering in the Septem-
Der issue a query regarding So
called patent medicines.
Most of the medicines which are
accompanied by flowing testimonials
are not patented at all, says. the
magazine, but really are proprietary
medicines. Essential requirements TO
the issuance of a patent are that the
product be new and useful. Very few
of the medicines sold under fancy
labels at the corner drug store an
swer either of these requirements.
A patent gives the patentee a
monopoly for only Il years. at the
end of which time the product be-
comes public property, the publlca-
tion states. More important yet.
when a medicine is patented its COM
position and method of preparation
are matters of public record. This
means that a real patent medicine
Is not secret in composition.
Secrecy and mystery are the back
bone of the so-called patent medi-
cine" business, and for this reason, II
for no other. the average eXploiter
of proprietary medicines prefers get
ting a trade mark on fancy name
and maintaining his property rights in
that trade mark.
When a trade marks is obtained for
such preparation no Information
has to be given to Government offi-
cials regarding the composition OF
the product.

WHY DOCTORS ARE HEALTHY
Subconsciously They Practice
What Thew Preach.

That doctors practice what they
preach, subconsciousIy at least. is
shown by recent physical examina-
tons submitted to by members OF the
Kings County Medical Society in
Brooklyn. NJ Y. The 81 doctors who
were given personal health exami-
nations were found to be in better
general health than other members
of the community of corresponding
age, says Hygeia, popular health
magazine (Chicago), in it's September
issue.
The, reason for this superiority is
thought to be in the fact that physi-
clans less frequently have bad con-
ditions within the mouth and less
constipation than the general public.
Their blood pressure, too. was lower
than the layman of corresponding age.
Says Hygeia: The general con-
clusion reached that physicians, de-
spite irregular hours of work, irreg-
ular routine in life as to meals and
sleep and less systematic exercise
and recreation than are usually con-
sidered advisable. must achieve their
good health by. subconsciousIy at
least, practicing what they preach"

POPULAR IN EXILE.
German Crown Prince Wins Over
Dutch by Tact.
,rrent History Magazine.

From the Current History Magazine.
The parsonage in which the former
German crown prince ! ived as an
exile on the far-away Dutch Island OF
Wieringen from 1918 to 1923 is a plain
little structure. without the least
suggestion of royal residence, al
though its occupant humorously re-
ferred to it as my castle" On the
ground floor was a living and dining
room: upstairs a plainly furnished
bedroom, to which a bathroom had
been added All these were reserved
for the personal use of the royal exile.
The crown prince is AZ years OF
age and those who recall him before
the war will scarcely believe that his
hair is now gray his face furrowed
and his forehead wrinkled- AT Wler-
ingen he read much. and. consid- l.
ering the limited space at his dis
Much of it was fiction by English and
American authors: one bookshelf bore
the inscription My works"
These were from his own pen, COM
prising his published works on big
game hunting. his memoirs and war
book. in various translations. When
his war book appeared in English it
received f1attering comments from
American reviewers, with special ref
erence to it's literary style. 1t was
not then generally known that a
talented Austrian journalist, Rosner
by name was responsible for this
merit. The crown prince supplied all
statements of facts and material.
Upon his arrival at Wieringen. five
years ago Friedrich Wilhelm was uni
yersally disliked. an object of sus-
p,cion and avoidance on the part of
the inhabitants. His personality and
tact soon overcame all this. and when
he left for Germany he was universal
ly popular with every man. woman
and child on the island. He acquired
a fluent conversational knowledge of
Dutch, and the successive burgo-
masters of the village became his
warm personal friends.
In order to fill in the monotony of
his life, the prince for time acted
as helper to the village blacksmith
working at the forge and bellows,
and today with unconCealed pride the
smith exhibits horseshoes and other
iron objects turned out unaided by
his royal pupil.
