HEAT FATALITIES
ABOVE 500 MARK
IN PAST ten DAYS

Chicago, June 8-(AP)-Following
10 days of unreasonable heat the
weather today moderated generally
to normal.
Gales, thunderstorms and strange
atmospheric disturbances accompa-
MED declines in temperature through
out the region east of the Rocky
Mountains, and tonight's late fore
casts held out the promise of at least
two days Of more seasonable wealth
er.
The death toll Of the ten day spell
OF intense heat stood above the 500
mark with Philadelphia and New
York the heaviest sufferers. Official
records in the Quaker City placed
the heat toll at 1876 lives.
A strong wind which swept through
the business section of Chicago with
the force of an October gale result
ed in the injury of several persons
by falling objects. The northern
half of the Atlantic seaboard was
cooled by an ocean breeze. In Iowa
and the Dakotas unusual precipita-
tion accompanied the winds.
At Laramie, Wyoming, two feet of
new snow at the lookout station atop
Medicine Bow Peak today prompted
temporary suspension of fire lookout
service on Medicine Bow.
At Denver, snow plows were put
into service on the Denver & Salt
Lake Railroad yesterday to clear the
track for trains over the continent
tai divide.
Fourteen inches of snow fell at
Corona Sunday night. The mercury
there dropped to % degrees above
zero.
Nearly three inches of rain fell at
Dallas, Texas, in less than an hour
this afternoon, flooding streets pars-
alyzing street traffic for half an
hour and causing minor property
damage.

SIX BALLOONS STILL
IN AIR IN RACE FOR
GORDON Bennett CUP

Brussels, June 8-(AP)-At eleven
o'clock this evening, more than "a
hours after the start from Solbosh
Plain, six of the eighteen competi-
tors in the Gordon Bennett cup bal

The aeronauts aloft included the
three men picked as favorites to win
the race-Ernest De Muyter, the
Belgian champion, and holder of the
original Gordon cup; Wade T. Van
Orman, United States, and Maurice
Bienaime, France.
OF the balloons which have come
down, none has travelled the distance
that generally wins a Gordon Ben
nett race. The Italian Ciampino has
the best figure, $40 kilometers (354.19
miles) and the italian Aeriostier, the
next best, $40 kilometers (S35.54
miles.)
The other bags which have been
reported as landing were the Ameri-
can STA, the English Elsie, Mira
mar and Banshee, the French Marco,
the Spanish Duro, Hesrero and Cap
tain Peneraoda, Belgian Vile Brux-
elles, and tie Swiss Helyetia.

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.
Holding Companies"

Many investors are prejudiced
gainst securities of the so-called
"holding companies. They prefer
stocks or bonds which are shares in
or obligations of an operating COM
Dany, and this distinction is gem
orally made in regard TO public utility
investments. 1t is easier to appraise
the rank of the operating company's
obligations, and to that extent there
may be some merit in this sort of
discrimination.
There are advantages, however, in
taking the holding companys securi-
ties. For one thing, controlling as
these companies do subsidiaries op
Grating in widely separated sections,
their stocks and bonds have diversi
fled risk which cannot be found in the
general run of operating companies.
1t is very improbable that adverse
conditions which might affect un-
favorably a corporation doing bust
ness in a single city should at the
same time prove disturbing to the
same same degree in all other cities.
The public utility depends for it's
prosperity upon the growth and in
dustrial progress of the particular
municipality in which it operates
This growth and progress are never
so the security of the holding COM
pany representing as it does an aver
age of conditions, reduces risk which
might be large in the case of any
one individual corporation. A second
advantage is that the market for the
securities of the large holding COM
panies is generally much better than
that for the stocks or bonds of the
individual company. This is not al
ways the case, but it is the rule
1t applies with more force to stocks
than 1t does to bonds.
Still another advantage lies in the
higher type of management which
the holding company usually is able
to command and the economies
which it is able to effect in the pur
chasing of supplies. All this works
to increase profits for the benefit of
the shareholders of the holding COM
panies.
