reached whereby 1t will be success
fully put into effect.
The French franc was stabilized,
but only after severe object lesson
had been given of the necessity of
really balancing the budget through
increase of taxes and postponing
extraordinary expenditures until COM
pensation means of revenue had been
found.
British Pound Is Puzzle.
The failure of the British pound
to make any progress on the road to
recovery is one of the phenomena
of the period which has been a sub
ject of much discussion. 1t can no
longer be ascribsd to the labor re-
gime in politics. because British bust
ness has got used to this and has
become convinced that no revolu-
tionary measures stand chance OF
getting through Parliament. 1t can
not be set down to uncertainty over
the continental outlook because the
British share in the moderate optim :
ism felt on this matter in other parts
of the world. The visible trade bal
ance is not running so heavily against
the country that it is not more than
offset by such invisible items as
American tourist expenditures and
ocean freight charges.
Sterling Position Explained.
The explanation for the poor rally
ing power Of sterling is two-fold.
First, there is the necessity OF pro-
viding over $150,000,000 each year
on the service of the American war
debt. Second, there is the very large
British subscription to foreign govern
m ent and foreign corporate loans. This
is being done with the object or stlmu :
lating home trade, for in the case of
many of these loans the government
attaches it's guarantee on conditions
that the proceeds be spent upon Brit
ish products.

TThirty.Eishth ArticIe-Par Value
By George T. Hughes

Ihtrty.E18Atn Aruc1e-IAr s"A~s
One of the unimportant things
about a stock is its par value. Time
and again 1 have received inquiries
as to the advisabi1ity Of investing in
this or that low-priced stock, the
writer appearing to believe that be-
cause the selling price is below the
mar value the shares are therefore
cheap. Now par value has nothing
whatever to do with investment merit
Some stocks sell at two or three times
their par value and others sell at
mere fraction of their par value. AS
a matter Of fact par value is mean
ineless. 1t only serves to confuse in
experienced investors.
II you own ten shares Of stock In
a corporation which has 100 shares
outstanding you own one-tenth Of
the business and this tenth is no
larger if the par value is 800 than 1t
Is If the par value is 81. You are
partner in the company, not cred
itor. In the event Of liquidation you
wifi receive your share of the assets,
but. the par value Of the stock has
nothing Whatever 70 90 Win IL IN
recent years it has come to be the
practice in those states where the law
aIloWs it to issue shares of no par
value, Just avoiding all this misunder-
standinR in the minds Of investors.
Then it is plain that the holder Of
common stock owns the equity in the
business and nothing more.
occasionally, even a preferred stock

dividend is expressed in dollars and
NOT in per cent. In that case it is
usual to hx a certain sum, say 500,
as the liquidating price Of the prefer

common.
The moral to all this Is to pay no
attention to par value as an argument
for or against the purchase Of any
particular stock

this change OF policy In regard 10

is that probable low water will plake
rescue work likely necessary during
