EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
ny GEORGE t. HUGHES.
The Steels.

The Steels.
1t has been said OF the steel indus
try that 1t is either prince or pauper.
meaning that periods of prosperity
alternate with those OF depression
without much of an interval between.
However, this is not as true as 1t
used to be. The trend is more and
more toward stabilization.
In large degree this has come
about through the cautious policy
adopted by business men generally
and very conspicuous in the steel
trade OF buying only for immediate
needs: In other words, "hand-to-
mouth" This has served to level
down the peaks and to fill up the
valleys of production as well as of
demand, The regular statements
given out by the United States Steel
Corporation of untitled tonnage" are,
therefore no longer the barometers
they formerly were. The steel busi-
ness may be very prosperous and
yet forward orders very low. All this
has to be taken into account in decid-
ing whether or not this is the time to
buy steel stocks.
Stability of earnings is highly de-
S!raDle characteristic from an invest
ment standpoint, and progress to-
ward this end is being made by all
the steel companies. OF course, there
will still be fluctuations due to the
major ups and downs of business, but
the month month changes are no
longer of great Importance.
There Is this qualification, however,
about the new status of the steel in
dustry. namely, that the independent
manufacturers have not improved
their position in this respect nearly
as much as the United States Steel
Corporation. More attention must
be paid by investors in steel stocks
to the immediate outlook if they are
holders of the shares of any other
company than the leader.
This being understood, the ques-
tion as to when to invest becomes
more of problem as to whether the
current return on steel stocks does or
does not compare favorably with that
obtainable on other investments. The
market price and the current return
on the new stock of the United States
Steel Corporation is the best measur-
ing rod to apply to the other steel
stocks. Purchasers of the latter
should at least insist on as favorable
a position as they would have if they
bought United States Steel stock
itself.

who have convulsed audiences
throughout the world with their an
ties in Behind the Front" and
"We're in the Navy Now are back
once more in what has been &C.
claimed the funniest farce Of their
careers "Firemen, Save Ny Child"
which Is now showing at the Eltinge
theatre.
After twice appearing in federal
government uniforms, Berry and
Hatton decided to become municipal
in their choice Of costume. In the
plot Of "Firemen, Save My Child"
and it is . comedy. with q plot, they
found m ideal vehicle. So they
donned the blue of the fire fighters,
with the same difficulty at finding
uniforms which fit that beset them
in the army and navy pictures and
find themselves literally catapulted
into . series Of side-splitting adven-
lures in which they succeed in all
but wrecking one towns entire fire
fighting system. However. they
prove themselves heroes in spite OF
everything, involuntary heroes. but
heroes nevertheless.
Tom Kennedy, who was their pet
menace in their previous pictures,
again makes life miserable for
Berry Ind HAtton rs the fire cap
tain. Joseph Girard, who also ap-
peared in the previous Berry Hatton
farees. 10 the dignified fire chief.

MAINTAINING A REPUBLIC

In common with the general run of journalistic observers. we shud- dered bit when General von Hin- denburg was elected president of the German republic. Nothing but trouble was in sight, was our ver- dict. We are glad to realize that we were wrong, along with the remain der of the Journalists.
 We now are 100 per cent satisfied that Hindenburg is no danger to anybody. The way he sat down on that "steel helmet" procession re- gently was the last eye-opener nec- essary, The other day he was re- vealed as having turned thumbs down upon a monarchistic coup in 1928, which included generals like Bulow and Mackenson It is clear as the sun on a cloudless day that the ex-kaiser has nothing to hope from Hndenburg.
 r We rather think the old soldier is done with fighting. except to fight the Monarchists. The old boy real izes fully that If the Monarchists got into power he would lose his job. But that isn't the prevailing notion about his office holding He took an oath to maintain the republic and he happens to be the ty2s ot man Nho sticks tQ bi4 eetb,

THE AVERAGE MAN

It Is time that someone of influ- ential words took up the cudgels for the average man. Scientists afflicted with a highly developed superiority complex have had an enjoyable time ridiculing the average person, given the world to understand he does not amount to much; that he has the intelligence of 14-year-old child; that he is "superstitious, ill-edu- cated. conventional" and about as low a critter mentally as the human race can produce.
 About the most nefarious thing the world war started was the wholesale mertal testing of indi- viduals. or 100000 American SOL diers who were in training at that time, about half received Standard ized tests" and of these s3,ooo were used as a basis for statistical evalu- ation. This business continues, and in about ten years it Is reported, all the returns will be in.
 This wholesale evaluation may as we'll be discontinued now, and all the statistics thrown into the Mis- sisippi. What the testers are at tempting IS to mako fools of us all. and perhaps at the same time give an indication of their own wonder full mentality Someone once said that anyone can ask foolish uues- ton, but only fool will answer them.
 The average man is badly edu- cated, say the college professor testers. If that is so, then the criti- cism Is moro of brickbat against the educational system, of which, it might be appended, i've all are just ly proud" The average man leaves school at the eighth sradA they say

THE WATERWAYS AND
 ECONOMICS

The New England committee which recommended a treaty with Canada for the construction of the St. Lawrence waterway added that such 8 waterway would do more to ameliorate the condition of the mid- dle western farmers than any other plan; which doubtless meant that the committee was of the opinion the farmers would be able to ship grain to Europe at a reduced cost for transportation.
 Experts are saying, though, that the time is near at hand when we will have no surplus of grain to ex- port.
 If 1t is true that the waterway would materially aid the farmers. however, it would stimulate greater production on the farms and employ more men upon them. It would DC an effective agency in stopping the flow of manpower from the farms to the cities which has been under way for more than a decade.
 Such a result would tighten Up labor conditions in the manufactur- ing centers.
 The more one analyses the eco homie possibilities of the St. Law renee waterway the more one be- comes convinced that 1t will be an epochal undertaking, possibly more important to citizens generally than the Panama canal.

A POSTCARD REFERENDUM

City officials at times are in doubt as to public sentiment regard ing an important issue that may be on the tapis for discussion and de- cision. The Bridgeport Telegram speaks with approval upon a plan adopted by the selectmen of the small town of Roxbury. and we agree with the Bridgeport paper that the system inaugurated in Rox- bury would be applicable every where. and could be utilized with advantage.
 It appears that the selectmen of Roxbury wanted to purchase a trac- tor and . grader for road work, but were in doubt whether the in- vestment was not too large for a small town. Followed . postcard referendum, a return postcard being mailed to every voter.
 The total of cards mailed was 265. and IFS voters took the trou- ble of voting with the return post card, or 69 per cent. This percentage Is much higher than that experi- enced at general elections. Of the cards received, 157 voted in favor of the purchase.
 Here is a system that every Con- necticut mayor and councilmanic of ficial can take to heart. It Is an easy, direct and efficient manner ~f ascertaining public sentiment; 1t is also legal. and eminently demo- cratic.
 The only objection may be that there are times when . city or towns officialdom doesn't desire to know the trend of public sentiment regarding an issue. The plan then is to so right ahead regardless. Citi- zens in every city and town. per- haps, can give instances.
