Plymouth, Vt,, Aug. 19 P-Prest- dent Coolidge is enjoying his stay in this isolated hamlet so much that he has indefinitely postponed his return to Swampscott. It Is probable how ever that he will be back at the summer White House before the end of the week and may leave here to- morrow.

IL had been expected that they would leave for Swampscott yester- day or today but no move has been made toward terminating the visit here.
 The excellent weather that has prevailed since Saturday has contri- buted greatly 10 the Presidents en- joyment as 1t has enabled him 10 get out doors for hikes and motor rides on dirt roads which are In splendid condition.
 Although some what shut off from the outside world the President is keeping In touch with governmental affairs by wire and mail. Secretary Sanders, who remained at Swamp scott Is In daily communication with the executive and is keeping him posted on important developments,
 Mir. Coolidge expressed satisfac- ton when advised that an agreement had been reached on the Belgian debt question. Last night a radio message from him 10 Donald B. Nc Milan wishing the Arctic explorer "good luck" also was made public

BALTIMORE, September 5.-The
reported plan of the New York Cen
tral-Western Maryland interests to ac-
quire the Washington, Baltimore and
Annapolis Railroad do not include pas
senger traffic into Washington, accord
ing to reports in railroad circles. In
stead, it is said, the New York Cen
trail desires a connecting link with
our National Capital for freight pur-
poses. Through control of the W.,
B. & A. the New York Central could
draw heavily of citrus fruits, hard
woods and other Southern products,
which are in demand in the West and
which could be transported to .Balti-
more and thence over the Western
Maryland to the latter's junction with
the New York Central in Pennsyl-
vania and thence westward over the
latters lines and those of the Pitts
burgh and Lake Erie.
AS to the actual acquiring of the
W., B. & A. by the Aldred interests
and elements friendly to the New York
Central, that is accepted in the local
financial district as a. foregone con-
cluSion.

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
Are Your Stock Dividends Mort
gagged?
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

One of the most important things a
prospective investor in stocks ought
to consider is the position of the stock
in the capital structure as a whole.
This is point often overlooked, at
tention being concentrated on the div
idend and the investment return OBJ
tainable at the current price. But
there is vast difference between a
stock ahead Of which there Is no fund
ed Indebtedness, no bonds of any kind,
and one of a company with large
mortgage obligations, even when each
stock pays the same dividend and
sells to yield the same return.
In the case of the company the
shareholders of which have the first
and only claim upon earnings the
position of the stockholder is much
more secure than when large sums
must be first set aside to pay interest
on bonds. In times of prosperity lit
tie attention is paid to this subject,
but once let depression set in and the
distinction becomes vital.
Another point too often ignored is
the amount of capital stocks outstand-
ing. III this amount is very small
earnings per share may appear very
large, but by the same token when
business is not good the amount avail
able per share drops off as rapidly as
1t went up. On the other hand, when
the amount of outstanding stock is
very large a decrease in total earn
lngs makes only a relatively small
difference in the amount per share.
1t is also true that the stocks Of a
company with small share capitaliza-
ton are easily manipulated by stock
market spectators to their own ad-
vantage, but to the peril of investors,
/ do not say that all stocks pre-
ceded by large mortgage Indebtedness
are not sound investments. The out
standing exception is that of the
American Telephone & Telegraph Co,
stock of which is entitled to invest
ment rating, Notwithstanding the
large funded debt ahead Of it. I do
not say that all companies with small
stock capitalization are risky invest
ments. There are many exceptions
