Real Estate Bonds.

Increasing recognition is being given
10 the points in which the real estate
bond differs from the average cor

mortgage has always held a deserved

Investment public, but recent develop
ments have emphasized the need for
caution in respect to securities in this
field.
AS long as the individual investor
could personally examine the property
on which he proposed to make loan,
taking a mortgage in return, the prob
lem Of insuring a sufficient margin
Of safety was not difficult, but when

The properties or TO appraise the earn

necessity of selecting a firm with
which to deal with the utmost care.
Expert advice obviously must be de-
pended upon in the case of a construc-

PASSAIC STRIKE FILM is TRULY LABOR PRODUCT.
PROFESSIONAL MOVIE PEOPLE COULDN'T DO IT

CHICAGO (FP).-It took over a
month before the professional movie
producers who, had been engaged to
make the famous Passaic strike film,
realized that the textile workers
wanted pictures of actual happenings
and not studio pipe dreams. When
this finally penetrated, the profess
sional producers quit and the strike
organization began grinding its own
movie camera and piecing together its
own continuity. The result is labor
film that has fascinated thousands of
worker audiences in big cities and
little towns all over the United States
as well as in foreign lands.
Alfred Wagenknecht, the Psssaic
relief director, stopping in Chicago
for a few days, recounted the history
Of the film. 1--WE wanted a photo

said. eve wanted it not only az a

stacles the workers had to face and
also how effectively and carefully the
generous relief contributions were put
to use.

producers from Boston for the job.
They knew what we wanted but they
hung around in their studio, planning
fake scenes and talking Of putting
pretty girl strikers into the fore
ground Of the film with lots Of ro-
nance for the American movie public.
We protested and told them TO go to

know that Butler had made a most
satisfactory report.
However, Congress has still to meet
in December, and the Smith and Ware
scandals have still to be explored, and
these two senators-elect, or senator's
non-elect as the Senate may deter
mine, are bringing pressure on Cool
idge to stand by them. If he side
steps, as he has sidestepped Sinclair
and Doheny in recent months, they
may embarrass him in the convention.
There is where the beauty of the mo
squeamishness" rule for Nicaragua
comes in, if the administration decides
to look upon Smith and Ware as mar
tyrs to Democratic intrigue.
Maybe Congress, next winter, will
probe the mystery of the documents
which came into the hands of Presi-
dent Gales of Mexico, and which have
never been explained by all the press
yarns printed as to their probable con-
tents.
If Congress does get the facts, it
will perhaps answer these questions,
now current in "high circles; Was
George Barr Baker, confidential agent
of Secretary Hoover, invited to inspect
200 documents in possession of the
Mexican government? Did these doc
uments include files of letters from
Ambassador Sheffield to Secretary
Kellogg, and from Kellogg to Shelf
field? Did Kellogg, writing to Shelf
field, bitterly complain against
Hoover, whose commercial agents in
Mexico were sending to Hoover a
great deal of information on Mexican
conditions? Did Hoover get copies of
these letters? Did he take them to
Kellogg and demand an explanation?
Did Kellogg explain that the ugly re-
marks on Hoover were interpolated in
the letters by forgers? Did such an
interview between the rival cabinet Of
ficers take place only few days be-
fore Coolidge told the world that
Hoover would not be made secretary
of state, if Kellogg should resign?
Interesting questions, which Baker,
Hoover and Kellogg could answer. BY
answering, they would throw much
light on a dark diplomatic secret which
has led to endless whispering in Wash
ington.

Super-TOrpedO Dream Is

the plans for substituting nitro

a motive power for torpedoes were
definitely delayed until Maxim's
successor gets on the job.
A foe Of pacifists to the end, the
inventor contended that the United

other first-rate powers, and should
be in a position to conquer. His
efforts were devoted toward maxi

was smokeless powder.
