EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
Susniciously High Yields-H.
ny GEORGE r. HUGHES.

Ont Of the 66 corporation bonds list
cd on the New York Stock Exchange
now selling In yield per cent or more
is OF them are obligations of foreign
companies and may be left out or con-
sideration for the present. me next
two largest ClassfiCations are the IL
traction and the I sugar bonds EVl'
IDENTIFY there Is one factor operative in
these two groups. the outlook Tor the
two industries as whole.
If we can ascertain what II is that
is depressing the sugar-producing and
refining business and the traction sit
uation we shall have gone far toward
deciding whether OF not any of these
bonds are desirable purchases.
At first glance it is seen that the
condition in the sugar trade bears no
resemblance to that of the fractions.
There Is vast oVerproduction of sugar.
the price Is unprolitably low and pro
dncerS are unable to make ends meet.
Sugar. however. is necessity and the
economic rule is that when the price
Of a necessity falls below the cost of
production an advance must come
sooner or later. We see then as far as
the sugar bonds are concerned that 1t
is question of picking out the obliga-
ton OF a corporation strong enough to
survive the present difficult period.
The case with the fractions is very
different. The trouble here Is not over
production. but the competition of a
new method OF transportation, namely,
the automobile, bus or passenger car.
The burden OF proof if a traction bond
is to be bought is on the ability Of the
particular traction company to meet
this competition rather than on the
outlook for the traction business gen,
orally. So we will look, il we wish TO
make a profitable investment. for the
bond of traction company which any
conceivable extension OF automobile
competition cannot injure any more
than ii already has done.

culture, charging it has accepted the
figures of the Federation OF Master
Spinners of Manchester, England,
which is interested in getting cheap
cotton. and has promulgated the fig.
ures as it's own to the detrlment OF
the Southern planters.
The differences between two such
sets of figures do not cause contro'
versies except in years of small crops
and shrinking surplus. The South IS
standing behind Hester. as he has en-
Countered similar controversies In past
years and has come out on top.

eminent report will be issued late
this week Consumption is higher than
ever known before, and there is rea-
son to believe it will continue high
for some months. The Southern con-
sumers think it will approximate
1886 900 bales if the price does not
go above IS cents pound. lt con-
sumption amounts to 16,O0O,ooO Daies,
the estimated Carry-oVer Wouid ne only
$500, 900 bales. According to the erect
of supply and demand on price, as
worked out by the Federal bureau OF
Markets, this would Justify 2I-cent cot
ton if the figures have the same Ell
feet on prices as they have in the
past.
If the figures taken to work out the
coming carry-over are those supported
by the Federation of Master Spinners
of Manchester. the total supply would
be 20.500 900 bales. If the consump'
ton figures are those supported by
the federation, the carry-oVer Will
be around 4, 500, 600 or 5000, 900 bales.
This would point to n price of about
10 cents a pound.
The Bureau of Economics has been
utterly criticized for it's recent COM
ment on the probable price of cotton
and its prediction that lower prices
We're in prospect. No specific price
was named. but the South feels that
predictions are outside the sphere Of
the Department of Agriculture. and

Harris of Mississippi, will endeavor to
secure passage Of bill in Congress

Investigations Of the District

Efficiency during the coming week,
following the expiration Of leaves
Of absence.
The school Investigation. which
has been in progress since last
March, II not likely to be completed
before Congress convenes in De.
cember.
This investigation, which covers
every phase Of school activities,
with especial emphasis on the five.
year building program, is expected
to lead to important new school
legislation this winter.
Revision OF the purchasing
system, already begun, is expected
to be completed by Congress- dur
ing the coming session.

trict purchasing department with
the general supply committee OF
the Federal government Is not
unlikely, 1t was Indicated.
Methods of disposing OF Balable
materials salvaged from the trash
collected by the District government
also are to be changed so az to

In other words. 1t is pretty certain

nanifests itself in the contests. If
pushed a little further, will kill the
particular type of interest these
shows are now arousing,
If young men were entered In
the contests as well as girls the
affair might develop into what
might be called a course or school
for the real appreciation OF the
human body.
Taken az such the contests
would be wholesome and helpful to
society. The introduction Of young
men into the BEAUTY shows would
not seem strange to artists and
students of the history of art, who
are wen aware that throughout the
ages, the male figure has been
used as a model for the creation
OF things Of beauty with consider
