More Than Six and One-Half
New Securities in 1924

American investors put close to &c.
100000, 900 into new securities in 1924.
AS an investment year 1t exceeded the
previous record year, 1922, by more
than $1,000, 100000. Corporations sold
approximately $4,000, 900 900 in long.
term bonds and notes and close to
| 5000 900, 900 in stocks. American
states, cities and political subddivis-
ions issued more than $3.50, 900 900
in bonds. Foreign governments sold
around 81 ,000, 100000 of bonds in the
United States, and s176,00O, 900 of land
bank bonds, form OF security un-
known to America ten years ago, were
sold to provide long-term credit to
| farmers.
These new securities represent the
growth of the honest business and
public enterprises of the nation.
They do not include the estimated
$500, 100000 OF fraudulent securities
dolls annually to over-credulous. In
this total Of $6,500, ,O00, 900 is the great
bulk of securities in which the most
successful investors, the banks and
life insurance companies invest.
If the average investor could ex-
anime these S6,5OOOO OOG of securi-
ties he would quickly see that safe
investments do not promise or yield
rich-quickreturns. In all these
billions OF dollars of bonds the aver
age yield is about or G per cent.
Some yield less than 4 per cent: a
few, per cent or a fraction more.
The get-rich-quick yields simply do
not exist in real investments. In these
hundreds of millions Of dollars of
stocks the average dividend will likely
be close to per cent; possibly less.
The huge dividends of 10, 20 or so
per cent do not exist except as the
very rare accident. There are so
many more honest securities than dis
honest ones there is little excues for
any one buying the dishonest, II he
will but keep his imagination in check
and not try to get something for moth

SPOKANE WOMAN TELLS
OF CLUB WORK In
HER HOME CITY

Mrs. A C. Enloe of Spokane, Wash.
ington, who is here in the interest
of educational work, made an inform
al talk at the Woman's club last
week and conveyed many valuable
suggestions to the club regarding the
work which the Spokane club has
been doing.
The Spokane club has member
ship of over 400 and expects to reach
the 500 mark before the close of the
year. Having otugrown the present
quarters, the ladies' have been making
money in various ways for the pur-
pose of erecting a new club house and
have already saved several hundred
dollars.
One way was by inaugurating a
buy-at-home campaign. They secured
a building and sold spaces to a mum.
ber of merchants who put on attrac-
tive displays from their various lines
and the club acted as hostesses with
out any charge. Another year they
secured all the available space under
enath the elevated railway and sold
spaces to the merchants on practically
the same plan. Every bit of space
was sold for one week and it was a
great success. There were programs
in the evening and the public for
miles around attended. The merch

easier for the children to use the day
nursery, and in this way much money
was added to the treasury. The plan
is being continued from year to year
The Spokane club has a good plan
for protecting the club against improp-
er persons who seek to become men,
bers. The application for member.
ship must be signed by three members
in good standing and the application
must be accompanied by an initiation
fee of So and half years dues. The
annual dues are SIS. After the applica.
ton is accepted by the executive
board, it is presented to the club
body and the club body accepts or re-
jects the application. The applicant
then receives by mail from the cor
responding secretary notice of the
acceptance or rejection; also a certifi-
cate.
The Spokane club is a departmental
club and does real college work. The
executive board meets the first and
third Monday at o'clock. The pro-
prams are usually furnished by some
department of the club. On Tuesday
the Arts and Craft Department meets.
Wednesday is dressmaking day. The
ladies' take their garments to be made
and under the supervision of a unusu-
ally good dressmaker their garments
are cut and made. Thursday is the
day for matinee musicales. Friday is
college work day. This includes gym.
nasium from o'clock to 10:30, and
public speaking from 10:30 to 1900
o'clock. Twenty minutes is taken at
noon for lunch. The ladies are ex-
pected when assigned a subject to be
able to talk on that subject. These
are usually current events or civic.
In the afternoon English and French
are taken up, also parliamentary law.
For the social part of the club there
are card parties and dances where
mothers can bring their sons and
daughters.
Another good work being done by
this club is the education of deaf
mutes where parents are unable to
send them to school. So every phase
of the club work is taken up and
handled very satisfactorily by this
club which Mrs. Enloe declares is the
real club of clubs.

WINGS ON HIS HEELS

Paavo Nurmi, the winged mercury
OF the twentieth century, doesn't
spend all his time running races and
breaking records. AS was feared, the
speedy Finn already has mastered the
English language and began writing
articles about himself. He is acclaim.
ed the greatest distance runner in re-
cent years, and his performances have
stamped him as the true wonderman
Of the track. Because OF him many
youngsters have hopes OF training
and trying until they, too, are world
beaters. That is partly responsible
for the attention which Nurmi re.
ceives, and II should please him.
