SPLENDID REPORTS
AT ENTHUSIASTIC
| GIRLS CLUB SESSION

Most pleasing were the reports Of
the team workers of the Augusta
Girls Community Club drive at their
second report and supper meeting
which was held at the club house at
6:1o Thursday evening and which
was marked by the proffer of the
beautiful Fuller homestead at the
corner of Crosby and Bridge streets
to the members of this club and Of
the Business and Professional Wom-
ems club for the purposes of a club
house and home for working girls.
The progress of the drive was noted
by the leaders with satisfaction and
there is no doubt in the minds of all
the workers that the goal of three
hundred members will be reached.
Miss Muriel Haynes, a most en-
thusiastic member and worker for
the club acted as chairman OF the
meeting. There were present also
several members of the executive
board and invited guests from the
BPW club of this city.
Miss Aida Barrows Of the BPW
club spoke briefly at the opening Of
the meeting and pledged the help and
support of that club to the Girls
Club. After the announcement of the
disposal of the homestead she reiter-
ated her promise and left to carry
the good tidings to the BPW club
and to ask that the three members
from that club be appointed to the
committee which will confer with the
trustees.
Ralph Weber, well known in this
city as an advertising man and as d
veteran of many membership oam-
paigns was then called upon to give
the girls some pointers on the way to
conduct themselves in this campaign.
He advocated that they put on more
steam now, and push it over the top
in hurry. fIe suggested that the
BPW club who had given an express
sion of their regard for the Girls
Club might put a team into the cam
paign. Above all he counseled that
the girls use affirmative measures
and not negative ones in approach
ing their prospects.
Thomas S. Smith, also a veteran of
many membership campaigns stated
that he had been prepared to tell the
girls that they had a wonderful OPP
portunity. but that he had ad no idea
the opportunity would be so wonder
full when he came to the meeting. He
sadl that in addition to the BPW
team he felt a flying squadron
might be made up from the head
table that would do some real work
in the campaign.
Another supper will be held this
evening at 6:15 o'clock at which time
reports of the progress of the cam
paign will be made.

value of our foreign capital flotations
for the entire calendar year 1925, The
nine months ratio of new capital, or
net nominal capital. (par value minus
refunding) is also 70 per cent.
The outstanding features of Ameri-
can activities as an underwriting ma
ton during this third quarter were:

blocks of securities. OF a total Of
A3 issues underwritten, no less than
Is were for $10,000,000 or above. In
the first half year there were only 16
issues of this class, in a total of 100.
2. The unusual proportion of new
capital. The sums to be devfted to
refunding We're only as per cent of
the total par value OF the issues. In
the first half year this ratio was 25S
per cent.
8. The very large volume of new
capital If this volume were sustain
ed throughout IL months. a new high
record would be established. How
the issues were distributed.
OF the total foreign securities
floated during the quarter under re-
view, about two thirds were issued
by private corporations and one third
by governmental bodies. Europe was
the largest borrower. with Germany
by all odds the largest single borrow
er in the world. Latin America took
less than a third of the total issues.

New York, April So tP .-. Run power, of greatest necessity to an ambitious baseball team, seems to be possessed in large quantities by the New York Yankees this season as evidenced hy the results of the first three weeks.
 Tn 1921, when the Yankees cap- turcd the American lcaguo ponnant in the first of series Of conqucsts, they set the modern major league record for runs scored in a season --94S. or an average of approxi- mately 6 1-6 runs q game.
 Results 10 date in the 1926 race show that the Yankees have main- taincd an average of 1-2 runs q game, while the next best mark in either circuit goes to the Chicago cubs--5 1-2. Philadelphia brings lp the rear in the American with q vory small scoring power where much was expected. and Boston $ at the foot of the National stand. ing in this department of play.
 Despite the excellent pitching performances turned in from every city of both leagues there have been only II shutouts. six in the American and five in the National.
