Prince Serge is the son Of Prince
George Romanovslxy and OF Princess
Anastasia OF Montenegro, a daugh-
ter OF King Nicholas /. On his
fathers side he is descendant OF
Eugene de Beauharnais, that son
of the Empress Josephine whose
.children's children are scattered In
nigh places over all Europe while,
by the irony OF fate, the family Of
Napoleon. the king maker, has
completely died out. When Duke
Macmillan of Leuchtenberg, son
of Eugene, arrived in Russia to beg
the hand of the Grand Duchess
Marie Nicholaiovne, daughter OF
I sar Nicholas /, the latter con-
scented to the union on the condi-
ton that he become Russian sub
jcct, bestowing upon him and upon
each successive heir the title OF
His Imperial Highness Prince ROM
anovsky, who at the same time re.
tanned his former title OF Duke OF
Leuchtenberg.
On his fathers side Prince Serge
is related to many of the reigning
houses of Europe, and on the side
of his mother, whose second mar
riage was to the Grand Duke
Nicholas, he has inherited above all
the strong Montenegran blood OF
that valiant mountain race, famous
in history for heroic courage and
independence. In consequence OF
that Montenegran relationship, he
is cousin of the King Of Serbia
and his aunt is the reigning Queen
Elene of Italy.

FRENCH BONDS.


In a preceding article 1 enumer-
ated some Of the reasons for the
comparatively low selling price OF
French bonds. / now want to dis
cuss the different provisions applying
to individual issues simply because
they illustrate the principles in
volved elsewhere in the bond list
There are three direct obligations
of the French government listed on
and actively dealt in on the New
York Stock Exchange. or these, the
simplest case Is that of the 7ks, due
in 1941 These are entirely nom
callable, and so directly reflect the
credit of France in their market
price except in so far as purchases
for account of the sinking fund tend
to support the quotation. The Amer
lean banking representatives for the
French government have available
not less than $4,000. 900 annually with
which to purchase French 7R S at a
price not exceeding par. 1t will at
once be seen that this Is a powerful
influence tending to keep the price
from falling much below that figure.
French Ss, due in 1s45, have salso
the support of sinking fund, in
this case amounting to $4,400,000 an
nually, to be applied to the purchase
of bonds up to and including 110 UP
to- December IS, 1925. Thereafter the
available amount is to be used to
redeem bonds by drawings at ITO.
After the present year the holder OF
French s has a chance of his bond
being paid off at 11O. which also
operates to hold up the market price
and gives a speculative attraction.
The per cent issue, which was sold
in December last. has an annual sink
ing fund Of S4,200,00O annually to be
applied to the purchase of bonds up
to 105, or, If so not obtainable. to re-
demption by lot at the same figure.
Intending purchasers of French bonds
should bear in mind these varying
provisions.

In either case, what happens? The
severe strain on the muscle, either ia
the arm or the leg, tears the muscle
fibers loose from the tendons breaking
the muscle tibers and the blood vessels
and causing hemorrhage under the
skin. Any effort to use the muscle
causes pulling on the torn fibers and
consequent pain. The more the arm

WEAR CAUSED BY
SEVERE BRAKING
Tests Show Tires, Wheels.
Spokes, Gears and joints
Are Affected.

Tires, wheels. spokes, differential
gears and universal joints; these are
the parts of an automobile which suf-
fer most from sudden and severe
brake applications, according to tests
just completed.
These tests revealed why it is pos
sible for a car to skid on a perfectly
dry pavement. 1t was found that
locked wheels slide along asphalt ON a
film of soft rubber melted from the
tread of the tire by fractional heat.
In such cases, it was found, the car
will travel farther before stopping
than when the brakes are so adjusted
and applied by the operator that they
cannot lock the wheels.
Inspect Brakes Often.
In the interest of greater safety, car
owners should see to it that their
brakes are more frequently Inspected /;
certainly no less than once a month,
or, better, every 500 miles. A simple
road test, moreover, can be made by
determining within what distance car
can be stopped at various speeds
When this has been determined, with
any particular car, liberal margin of
safety should be added for actual con-
ditions of service.
1t should be remembered that the
ability to stop car is greatly in
fluenced by the condition of the road
surface. When roads are very wet,
as in heavy transforms, there is less
tendency for car to skid than when
the roads are partially dried or in
what is known as a greasy state. +"
Should a car start to skid when APP
plying the brakes, it is usually due
to the wheels locking
Stop Skidding.
A dangerous skidding can usually
be quickly stopped if driver has
presence of mind to release the brakes
and apply them second time with
less force. This gives the wheels
chance to again grip the road. If the
road is very slippery, as on an icy road
with light snow on the surface, best
results are obtained by slowing the
car carefully with the engine and
helping with the brake. Lightly loaded
cars, as with the driver only, are more
difficult to stop than loaded ones.
With these points in mind driver
can quickly learn the tricks" but.
above all, do not have too much con-
fidence in your ability, as sit is better
to be safe than sorry"
