EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
Balance Sheet and Income Accoun
By GEORGE T. HUGHES.


There are two principal kinds of
financial statements. They go under
various names. but the usual designa-
tions are, respectively, the balance
sheet and the income account. Other
statistical data, when obtainable. are
valuable, but the chief interest centers
around the two forms named. Every
corporation presents both in it's annual
report to its stockholders. Every
bond or stock offering circular should
do the same. Sometimes one or the
other Is omitted, especially when the
securities offered for sale are those Of
a new organization. The investor.
actual or prospective, however, should
demand that both balance sheet and
income account be given. or a satisfac-
tory reason advanced for the omission.
We shall take up the balance sheet
first Generally 1t is made out to set
forth the condition of the company at
the close of the fiscal year, which
may be the same as the calendar year
or not. The practice nowadays Is to
make the company's year correspond
with the calendar year so that most
balance sheets are dated December 81 I,
but there is no reason why one should
not be made out at any time, and they
are often issued semi-annually, or
whenever developments make 1t ad-
visable. The point is that every bal
ance sheet is picture. painted in fig
ures, of the condition Of the corpora
ton on the date named.
Obviously the more recent the date
the more informatory the statement.
If a long period elapses between the
preparation of the balance sheet and
.its publication there is always a chance
Of significant changes having occurred
which are not reflected in the figures
given. Preparation of any financial
statement requires time. 1t cannot be
made UP Immediately at the close of
business on any certain day. 1t is i'm
portant. nevertheless. if a correct in
terpretation of the statement Is to be
had, that the facts be made available
as early as possible. The first thing
then for the investor, when consider
ing any balance sheet, is to note the
date.

Operating in Year.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

BALTIMORE, September 22.-The
Bethlehem Steel Corporation is fast
rounding out it's construction pro-
gram, and it is expected that another
IL months will see the last OF the
major additions to the plant in op-
Grafton.
The most important single unit now
under way is the tube mill being
erected at Sparrows Point This Will
cost approximately $15,000,0 900 and
will be the only mill OF its kind on
the Atlantic seaboard. 1t will manu-
facture every size Of commercial pipe
and will employ about 5000 men.
The wire, rod and nail mill. also
at Sparrows Point. Is now In Iuli
operation. as also are the additional
rail and tinplate mills there. lnclud'
ing modern homes for employees, the
total expenditures here since l92Z
amount to more than 25.00O,0 900.
The building program at all places
where the Bethlehem operates totals
$50 100000, covering period or less
than five years. One major result
of undermining and enlarging plant
capacity has been to bring down cost
of production. amounting at some
plants to as much as SIS a ton. The
Baltimore plant is said to be the low

poration.
