EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.
OTHER LESSONS FOR WOMEN.

A woman ought to know some
thing about the care Of securities as
well as their selection.
She ought to know the difference
between the dividends on stocks and
interest on bonds. She ought to know
that, while checks for dividends are
mailed by the corporation to the
registered holder of the shares, the
owner of a coupon bond must cut off
the coupon when it is due and COL
1ect it through the bank. The uses
of a safe deposit box should be ex-
planned to her, at the same time
pointing out that il a stock certificate
IS misplaced or lost it is possible to
have a new one issued, but when a
coupon bond is lost II is negotiable.
She ought to have enough familiarity
with the financial page of the news
paper to keep in touch with the quo
tations of her securities and yet she
ought to be warned of the dangers
of speculation. None of these les
sons is a difficult one and yet some
day they may prove very helpful.
Certainly every woman who has
the handling of money, no matter
how small an amount, ought to have
a. checking account. That in itself
is an education along the very lines
we have been discussing and ac-
Quaintance with banking methods is
highly desirable. A woman who is
in the habit of making regular visits
TO the bank for the depositing OF
money and the cashing of checks Is
q good deal more apt to go there for
advice when she needs it upon in
vestments than Is one who has never
stepped inside a bank door until after
her husband has left her a widow un-
trained in financial affairs.
Finally, a woman ought to know a
little, but not too much, about the
making up Of an income tax return
a subject which is more or less of a
mystery to men and women alike. II
IS not necessary to go into great de-
tail in any of these instances, but
It is necessary that a woman, as well
as a man, should know where to
go for financial guidance when she
needs 1t.

Giant System Claimed to Be
ImpracticabIe by Some
Electrical Experts.
BY j. C. ROYLE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, February 1s.-Practi-
cal electrical engineers today ex-
pressed considerable doubt as to the
feasibility Of the plan for giant
power system under State regulation,
as proposed before the Pennsylvania
Legislature and sponsored by Gov.
Pinchot.
The Pinchot plan involves extern
sive use of. current to be generated
at or near the pit mouth of coal
mines. Engineers pointed out that
the generation of large quantities OF
electrical current by means of coal
burning steam plants is not CONNER
cially or mechanically profitable. ex-
cept when the plants are located
on or near large bodies of water
Much Water Required.
1t is as necessary to have large
amounts of water for a steam plant
as for a hydro-electrfc plant. The
modern generating unit gains
power from steam turbines. The
economical and efficient operation of
those turbines involves the condensa-
tion of the steam as 1t comes out of
the turbines. This is secured only by
the circulation of immense quantities
of cold water. producing a condensa-
tlon SO complete as to establish
partial vacuum in the condensing
chamber Unless this is accomplished,
coal. steam power and money are
wasted.
Some coal mines of Pennsylvania
are far removed from bodies of water
| which would All this one need. Many
of those which have the water are in
inaccessible regions far from centers
where the power would be used, in
volving expensive transmission.
Favor Transmitting Coal
Engineers declare that while the
transmission of energy contained in
coal in the form of gas or electric
power is advisable whenever COM
m ercially possible. the cheapest
method Of transferring such energy
| sometimes is by putting the coal In
freight car and carrying il to its
| destination.
Electrical power men say. further,
| that IL the building of plants and
transmission lines such as Gov.
| Pinchot proposes is to attract private
capital. profits of considerable size
| must be in sight. whereas the gov
| ernor proposes that all such COM
panies shall be compelled to operate
