EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.
Typical Industrial Stock.

Having considered a typical utility
stock, American Telephone and Tele-
graph, and q typical railway stock,
Atchison, from an investment stand
point, 1t is now in order to take up
an Industrial. For this purpose we
may examine American Locomotive.
While perhaps not quite so firmly es-
tabished as a leader in It's group as
the other two stocks, 1t is neverthe-
less well up in the front rank.
First, the price range is very large.
For the calendar year to date the diff
ference between the extreme high and
the extreme low has been around 40
points. This in itself is a signal for
caution on the part of the investor.
Although he may buy with no idea of
speculation, he will inevitably be con-
cerned If he should happen to pur-
chase the shares at the high point of
the cycle. There is no way of avoid
ing this risk altogether-every one
who buys common stocks must as
sumo 1t. Part of the wide spread be-
tween the high and the low In 1925
was due to a change in dividend rate
and part was due to general market
conditions. No matter what the rea-
son, however, the fluctuations must
be taken into account.
Now look at the return on the
money. American Locomotive is at
present paying a regular dividend of
s per cent annually on its common
stock. At lis this would be eQuiva-
lent to a return of per cent, at 120
to 81 per cent and at 1870 to So per
cent. But the regular per cent dtvt-
dend Is only a part of the present dis
bursement. There has been declared
for the year an extra $40 per share,
payable in four quarterly installments
Of $3.50 each, throughout 1925 on the
same dates as the regular dividend
payments. Accurately to calculate
the yield then 1t Is necessary to sub
tract from the price the amount of
this extra dividend which Is still to
be paid, at this time $3.50. On this
basis the shares would yield Z per
cent at 122h and ST. per cent at
1271a. This is very liberal.
Lastly. what Is the long-range out
look? Going back over the records
for the past 10 years, it is seen that
profits average approximately $40 a
share on the common stock. Assam
ing that the demand for the COM
pany's product keeps up, the writer
sees no reason to believe that the re-
suit in the next decade will be any
less favorable.

special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, May 1.-The last
week will go down in financial his
tory as marking the return Of Great
Britain to a gold basis for the first
time since 1t suspended special pay
ments on the declaration of war. This
and the triumph of the German ma
tionalists at the polls were the two
big incidents.
The stock market went higher, so
did the bond market. An abrupt re-
covery occurred in wheat and other
grains in which speculation for the
decline had gone to extremes. Money
rates were not actually reduced. but
the supply available at current quota
lions was increased. Naturally there
was a near relation between the evil
dence of an expanding money surplus
and the strength of investment securi-
ties. Liberty bonds sold again at the
best of the year.
United States Aids Britain.
Great Britain's restoration Of a
free gold market has been accom-
plished with the aid of American cap
ital. The Federal Reserve has guar
anteed 5000 900 900 and j. P. Morgan
& Co. 500, 200, 900 in case there were
demands either from outside of Eng
land or by the note-holders inside that
would be hard to meet.
Much discussion has been aroused,
especially in England itself, as to the
effect OF the establishment OF the
gold standard. Some economists as
sert that II will lead to the dumping on
the English market of an undesirable
surplus of American goods and that
it will help out German and French
competitors operating on a debased
currency.
Others point out that with sterling
back to parity the English buying
power has been raised, and that this
will mean an enlargement OF the trade
between Britain and other countries.
At the same time they lay stress upon
the fact that England will be far less
inclined to get rid Of its remaining
American investments than 1t was
when the dollar and securities repre-
senting dollars were worth so much
| more in the exchange for the pound.
German Election Forgotten.
II was curious, in view of the ex-
element over the unexpectedly heavy
vote for the German representative of
| the old regime. how this subject dis
appeared from consideration as the

week went on. At no time were the
markets seriously perturbed over the
possibility of monarchist reaction.
Had Wall Street prices not expert
enced the decline between the highs
of January and the lows Of the begin
ming of April. the outside trade news
would not have made particularly
pleasant reading. The fact is now
generally admitted that output for
industry as a whole ran ahead OF
consumption during the Winter and
that reimbursement has had to occur

This has made buyers feel more
than ever reluctant to purchase be-
yond immediate requirements and has
brought about a general fall in
prices. For IA consecutive weeks, X.

have predominated in wholesale
quotations. This has involved keen
er competition and a lower profit
margin, especially in the textile in
dustries, In steel and in the non-fer-
rous metals.
Market Shows Confidence.
But the stock market foresaw all
this a month ago. 1t has been grad
ually changing about in its main at
titude, still leaving out of It's calcu-
latlOnS STOCKS IN an uTlaVOrdDIS po-
sition SO far as the earnings outlook

ment that the speculative excuses of
the Winter had been undone by the
decline during March, and that the
market was more entitled than it had
been at any stage since the early part
of December 20 be looked upon with
confidence.
Oils Start Upward.
The oil shares in the past week have
reflected, although to only a moderate
degree, the favor with which the
market now regards situations In
trade that have undergone correction
and present a sounder background.
Lately the oils have been pointing up
ward at the same time that the out
side news has been steadily improving.
The statistical position of the indus
try has got in better shape. the sea
son of heaviest consumption is ap-
preaching and the belief is that i'm
portant price reductions have been
checked for the time being. The
| larger companies have been making
| good reports for last year and for the

DEVICE TO GRADE HAY.

ing color in hay has been devised by
the Department of Agriculture, which
plans to use 1t to establish standards
for grades. The market value of hay
is influenced mainly by it's color, and
the judging of quality has heretofore
been more or less guesswork. De-
partment experts have found it pos
sible, however. to apply the Munsell
color system to the measurement Of
color in all kinds Of hay.

was difficult for many to understand
weekly figures on crude oil production
