EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
Study of Railroad Records.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

AS pointed out in previous articles
investments in railway securities
have the advantage of regular finan-
cial statements which enable the pur-
chaser to keep in touch with the
status of his holdings. Most of them
also have a long record of operations
which is available for study. 1t IS
possible to go back with any OF the
larger systems for many years and
observe how they have met the test
of adversely.
AS matter of fact, the majority
of American railroads at one time or
another have either been in receiver
ship or have gone through some
form of reorganization. One or tne
outstanding exceptions is ILLINOIS
Central In many cases these re-
organizations have so improved earn
ing power that the securities OF the
rehabilitated road have risen to the
status of high grade investments.
The AtchiSon, now probably as
strong and prosperous as any other
road in the United States, went
through such reorganization.
So it does not necessarily follow
that the record of the past is an in
Grant guide to the future. Still 1t IS
helpful. At any rate there is nothing
cOnceal6U OF SIcIIOuS Sipout NAAS
record of any railroad. Ordinarily
the trend is clearly established one
way or the other months and some
times years ahead of any actual
crisis.
There was no excuse for any in
vestor not to have known that the
ST. Paul was in difficulty long before
the receivership. In the same way
every student of railroad affairs now
recognizes that the New Haven has
passed the period of peril which 1t
went through three or four years ago
and is on the way to- re-establlShlng
its credit. Again. the Southern rail-
roads, such as the Seaboard, have
profited in recent months by the In
creased industrial and real estate ac-
livities in that part of the country. 1t
is not hard to see that the North
western carriers have still troubles to
overcome in the way of adequate
rates and Panama Canal competition
The point to all this is that COM
mon sense will teach an investor the
broad outlines of the railroad situa-
ton in different parts of the country
much more easily than he could get
the facts about industrial corpora
ti0nS.

WESTERN MARYLAND
HEAD IS OPTIMISTIC
Traffic Is Holding Up Well, Says
Maxwell G. Byers, President

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, May 24.-Maxwell G..
Byers, president of the Western Mary
land Railway, is optimistic over pros
poets for his company during 1926.
"Our traffic. said Mr.. Byers, lis
holding up splendidly this year, as is
shown by the loaded cars moved on
our lines. which to date total 20 per
cent more than for the corresponding
period in 1925. This increase COM
pares with gain of about 2 per cent
in loaded cars over last year for the
country as a whole. Our increase in
coal traffic to date is about 81 per cent
compared with 1925, and with an aver
age increase of about 13 per cent for
the entire country. I am quite opti.
mistic about our full years results.
Surplus of the Western Maryland
Railway for the first quarter of 1926
was $548.330, equal to $3.09 share
on the $17,742 ,O50 first preferred stock.
This compares with $306,432, or $1.72
share the first quarter of 1925.

C. G. Young of c.. G. Young and
Company, of New York, is a San Juan
visitor this week stopping over en- route
to Santo Domingo. AS a consulting
engineer for C. J. White and Company,
of New York, he came to San Juan in
September 1898 remaining here for sever
al months in connection with a survey
of the Urbarri railroad system. Since
then he has been engaged in construc-
ton work of magnitude in various parts
of the globe. notably in the Philippines,
China, and the West Indies. 1t is pro-
bable that Mr.. Young has constructed
more miles of electric road than has any
other engineer.
During his first visit to Porto Rico he
was most optimistic in II his belief in the
islands future and is now glad to see
that the prophecies which he made at
the time have not only been fulfilled but
exceeded. The development of San Juan
he considers as remarkable for in
September 1898 there were only six
houses between the San Antonio bridge
and Martin Pena, and lots in that dis
trict might be purchased at 500 an acre.

 "Yes, she Is waiting. Miss Dean.'

 Don't, please" he said, as his arms clasped me so tightly that I could hardly breathe. Then before I knew what he was going to do before I could get away from him his lips closed my eyes and after ward dropped to my mouth avidly These kisses were rough, so much so that they almost bruised my face, so hard and quickly were they given.
