EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
BY GEORGE r. HUGHES.
CLASSES OF SECURITIES LIFE
INSURANCE COMPANIES BUY.
Saxoutfath

Legal reserve life insurance com
panes in this country have about
$4,000. 100000 invested. 1t might
help the average man a little to
know how this enormous sum which
necessarily must be invested con-
servatively is placed.
About ~ per cent of this money
is in stocks and bonds, of which
about IL per cent is in stocks.
Evidently these stocks account for
about II of l per cent of the total
money invested. That doesn't fit in
with the conception of the average
mans idea of how the large investor
places his money.
Railroads Popular.
OF the investments in stocks and
bonds, railroads account for the
largest total; namely, o3 per cent.
Government bonds come next with
Is per cent, and 4 per cent in public
utilities makes up the total AZ per
cent in stocks and bonds.
The other important classification
is real estate mortgages, amounting
to about SO per cent of the total
This is divided between Il per cent
in farm mortgages and u per cent
in other real estate mortgages.
Evidently then in securities we
have about so per cent OF the total
assets accounted for. The other 20
per cent is divided between loans on
policies and among other assets,
such as real estate. cash. etc. Loans
to policy holders taken the largest
share of that 90 per cent.
Low Interest Rates.
Another fact in connection with
this enormous investment is the rela
lively low rate which these Securi-
ties net. During the comparatively
high interest period in 1921, the net
return was probably less than per
cent, while now it is much less.
A 20 years average would show
d yield of from to per cent. Dogs
the average man who believes that
he needs safety in investment above
all things start out with the idea
that he can only expect 4 or > or 3
per cent on his money? Probably
not. yet the experts in charge of the
insurance company's investments do,
and they are paid TO know their
business.

Copper Demand Improves.
There is every proba abiIlty, accord
ing to George A. Sloan. secretary OF
the Copper and Brass Research As
sociation. that consumption of copper
in the United States this year VIII
exceed 1900. 100000 pounds. The au-
tomobile business is one of the main
stays of the copper industry, al
though a high percentage OF copper
consumption this year Will be ac-
counted for by Improvement IN the'
electrical industry and by heavy
building construction. Consumption
so far this year has been running
about 10 per cent above that tor the
period OF 1928.
The copper producers of the coun-
try have determined not to make
public figures regarding sales, stocks
and production. but, intrigued by
this concealment. consumers prob
ably have found out more regarding
the present statistical position OF the
red metal than they ever knew
before.

Lin0leum Floors are Good Looking
and Last Long because they are made of
Cork, Linseed Oil, and Burlap

Tevo evays to be sure of
getting genuinelino
IF you want linoleum, you want it.
L There is no other floor that is sold
in rolls or rugs that has the substance,
body, and residence that come from
mixture of powdered cork and oxidized
llnseed oil, pressed on a strong burlap
back.
You can always be sure of getting
genuine ltnoleum, made Of cork, lnseed
oil, and burlap, if you look carefully and
be sure that it has a burlap back. Burlap
is tough and strong; the burlap back is
the reason why genuine linoleum does
not tear readily.
All Of Armstrong; Linoleum has the
Circle "A" trademark on the burlap back.
When you see this "A" inclosed in a
circle, you can be sure you are getting
inoleum as fine as any that can be made.
Why Cork is used
Cork is used in making linoleum because
it is tough. Cork resists moisture, is
elastic and springy, and deadens sound.
1t is hard to wear out. This is true of a
bottle cork. 1t is also true of the finely
ground cork used in making Armstrong;
Linoleum.
Cork mixed with Linseed Oil
Did you ever notice the tough film of oil
that forms on 4 can of paint when ex-
posed to the air?
That is oxidized linseed oil. In making
linoleum, powdered cork is mixed with
linseed oil and the two blend perfectly.
This gives linoleum its smooth surface,
Evening star., 1924-09-15

which makes it so easy to clean. All dust
is surface dust and brushes right up.
Why printed linolenm patterns
are so pretty
The smoothness of linoleum makes it
very easy to print beautiful and regu-
lar design on its surface. The printing
is done with heavy linseed oil paints.
The linoleum contains linseed oil, and
the two combine perfectly. Varnish this
printed surface when your linoleum is
new, and about twice year thereafter,
and the pattern will wear for many years.
In inLaid Enoleum
the colors go all the way through
In inlaid linoleum, the colors of the sur
face design run clear through to the bur-
lap back. Each little colored block or
shape in the pattern is laid separately
on the burlap, and the whole pressed
together into one piece under heavy rolls.
Armstrong; Lnole&m Rugs
An Armstrong; Linoleum Rug, printed
or inlaid, is made of cork, linseed oil, and
burlap, and has the Circle "a" trade
mark on the back. These rugs cost but
trihe more, but are better-looking, and
give longer service. They lie fiat with
out curling, and are waterproof, sanitary,
and hard to tear. Made in four sizes.
Laying fine Inolexm
for beauty and permaneney
A good inlaid linoleum floor should be
cemented in place over lining of build
ers' deadening felt. Laid this way, the
seams are not noticeable, the linoleum
will not stretch or crack, and will never
need rehnishing.

A linoleum floor requires very little care,

 awfully absent-minded." said the out-of-town customer. Well, she's got brother named Jim, who's just about the worst in a thing he did the other day
 q judge they are all pretty fierce,' laughed Wilkinson. At least they seem so, from some of the things you've told me about the lot of them. Is it that they are geniuses, or what%
 What, guess" said the out-of- town customer. ..';Anyhow, I never did hear that any of them were poets or anything like that. .|,1
 'You were telling me about the latest brilliant stunt of your brother in-law," said Wilkinson. What's he done, now?"
 Well, Jim hasn't been so bad as the rest the out-of-town customer said. We have even hoped that he had es- capped the family failing, so it was all the more of a shock when he pulled a thing like this. He has been knocking around the world a lot all by himself, and he may have been so lonely that there was some excuse for his absent mindedness. It'll take him some time and quite a lot of cold cash to smooth things out with his wife, however.
 ''You see, old Jim had to go to a place called Wildwood, up in Michigan, I think, on business for couple of days. He had friend who owned a cottage up there that he wasn't using and he sent Jim the keys so he could stay there while he was in Wildwood, suggesting that he take his wife along" 'And there," said Wilkinson, "there the trouble began"
 The friend told Jim that the bed room on the third floor. at the back was always. kept ready for occupancy, Sc they could go right in and take possess sion. They could get their meals at the small hotel and be comfortable.
 ''The only stipulation was that he must be sure to lock up when they left" said the out-of-town customer. ''The houses being so far from the lit tie village, the owner was little afraid sneak thieves might get in and carry off the furnishings. They stayed over day, a thing they ought not to have done as the firm got to wondering where Jim was and wired him to leave at once and come back to town for some urgent business
 l" That firm had no heart" said Wilkinson.

Listening In On Eve

Fortunately the head of it has sense of humor," laughed the out-of- town, ''or Jim wouldn't be drawing his salary now. He got the wire quite early in the morning by telephoning in the station found he could get train out in an hour. They had breakfast at the hotel and rushed back in haste to pack their bags. Jim left with the suitcase before his wife was quite ready, and she felt that it was only right to straighten up the room and put in clean sheets and things like that, leaving everything as near as possible the way she found it. Jim rushed off urging her not to forget her small hand bag and telling her she had only twen- ty minutes to get down to the train.
 Well, Jim hustled down to the sta tion, boughtNhis tickets and checked the suitcase through to Chicago and his wife hadn't yet appeared.
 He wasn't Lervous at first be- cause she's one of these women who always manage to get to a place in the nick of time, but when she wasn't there at five minutes before train time he did think something might be up. He telephoned the house and there was no answer. Then he stood out on the flatform, wondering what was wrong.
 Then he ran over to the hotel and asked if she was there. She wasn't and no one had seen herg by, so Jim be- gan to feel a whole lot stirred up, While he was asking questions of the hotel man the train pulled out and de- parted with his suitcase and the two seats he had paid good money for in the parlor car. Jim was worried '
 There is ravine up the road near there," the out-of-town customer went on, land some cheerful idiot suggested she might have turned the wrong way in coming along and fallen in. Finally the girl at the <hotel suggested they go and search the house for her body and they all trooped up there looking for a murder mystery"
 Great Scottw cried Wilkinson.
 Jim unlocked the front door," said the out-o4-town customer, "and i'm mediately they heard weird sounds from the third floor back. They rushed upstairs, scared stiff"
 "Whee!" exclaimed Wilkinson.
 "Only to find" said the out-of-town customer, helping himself to cigar, "that when Jim went out he forget he wasn't at hotel and had locked the door of the room, with his wife in it."
