The Distinction Between Stocks And
Bonds

Before an individual can choose
logically and profitable from the
thousands of available investment
securities, it is obvious that he must
understand clearly the radical diff
ference between the TWO, common
types of securities-stocks and
bonds. That the distinction between
these types is not always clear in
the minds of investors is evident
from the fact that bankers and in
vestment dealers are frequently con-
fronted with a request for stock
bond" "stock that represents an
absolutely safe speculation" or other
securities equally fantastic.
A share of stock is a certificate
that represents a proportionate ow-
nership in a business. The stockhol-
ders are the owners Of a corporate
business. Their income, as part
owners of the business is limited to
a share fthe profits of a company,
if profit exists after payment OF all
due obligations. When a person
buys stock he is supposed to assume
consciously all the risks of stock
ownership. In the event of failure he
must be satisfied with whatever is
left after all the bondholders and
other creditors have been paid.
A bond, on the other hand, is a
credit obligation, and the bondhold-
er is a creditor, not an owner OF the
business. The contract which he
holds binds the corporation to repay
him a definite sum of money at a
fixed date, and to pay him, mean
while, interest regularly at an agreed
rate. Usually, he has some kind OF

Grade" in Delaware has had a four
year high school course, Ind TWO
years in a normal or teacher-train-
ing department. 1t is generally
agreed that it is useless to hope TO
see the widespread adoption of mod
ern methods in the school rooms
with anything less than these quail
ifications on the part of tie teach
ers. In the entire State, Including
Wilmington and the Special Districts
less than one-half of the teachers
hold first grade certificates IN the
open country, only one out of every
three, holds a first grade certificate.
The lack of a teacher-training school

Joining states of Maryland and New
Jersey. poor buildings anf equip

causes contributing largely to the
unsatisfactory situation.

TEN which makes possible an even
temperature in the room; wash
rooms in which such sanitary condi-
tions prevail as to safeguard health;
adequate protection from fire; and
a generous supply of properly pro-
tected drinking water, for his
health's sake; or class rooms which
allow not for listening only, but also
for action; an opportunity for prac-
tice in common good enterprises,
necessary for the development of a
citizen in a democracy.
Fifty per cent of Delaware's
schools fall short of the mark. Fully
one-half of all the children in Della
ware, it is known, are being sent to
school in buildings which not only
make impossible any modern educa-
tional practice, but endanger as
well, their health and personal safe
ty.
According to the standards cited,
only one-fourth of the children in
the City of Wilmington, are in salts
factory school buildings. One-half
will be provided for when the pro-
gram now financed and under way
is complete.
Approximately 25,OOO children are
enrolled in the State outside of Will
mington. 1857 of these are going to
school in rented rooms; 776 in tenn
porary class rooms. 1852 are hous-
ed in buildings that score less than
500 points out of possible 1000. In
some instances the buildings repre-
sent something less than adequate
shelter from the weather.
The State of Delaware, therefore,
is in urgent need of class rooms for
approximately $4,000 children outside
of Wilmington, and for $500 children
in Wilmington. On the basis of 80
children per class room, this repre-
sents an immediate need for GA
class rooms.
Delaware has adopted a statewide
school system. The State is dere-
lict in it's duty if it fails to provide
satisfactory school buildings.

In case the borrowing corporation
does not live up to any Of the condi-

holder is a preferred creditor, and he

The object of a good bond is to

taken in it's issuance to guard it's

Sixteenth st. N. w, gagging and
binding Mrs. Williams and the serv-
ants, and stealing a ring and a
bracelet valued at $500, the accused
began to whimper and plead for
mercy.
Justice Stafford scathingly de-
nounced him as a member Of a
New York gang, whose letters to
the gang, in which he discussed the
robbery, had been intercepted. The
Justice said that his plea for mercy
wa merely a play. The court gave
him 80 years in the penitentiary.

Of jewelry. They showed badges

them to chairs. Two men guarded
them with guns. The others went

She was lying on the bed and when
they told her they wanted her

Thousands Of Officers
Opinions vary as to how many
Federal enforcement agents would
be created by the Presidents order,
but 1t was generally conceded that
the number would run high into the
thousands. 1t cannot be figured
accurately because there exists no
means of compelling local authori-
ties to accept Federal badges.
The order merely permits the
Treasury to employ State and
municipal officers "at a nominal
salary" which means, probably. a
dollar q year. Practically, the EN-.
ployment would consist of the Of.
ficer merely accepting a Federal
badge.
Thousands probably will not ac-
cept the badges because ii would
mean an increase in their work
