FLAME FLASHES
warn FAMIL Y
Flee in Night Clothing;
Damage $1,000.

A family of four, awakened by
reflection of flames from their own
burning roof in windows of next
door residence, fled in night cloth
ing to the home of a nelghbor at
2:30 this morning.
Mr.. and Mrs. John Thomas, 1886
Reisner street, were awakened by
the reflection of the flames in the
windows of 1884 Reisner street.
They awakened their daughters Mil
bred and Margaret and the four
fled to the home of Mrs. Catherine
Foltz, 1910 Reisner street, relative.
Firemen believe sparks on the roof
caused the fire. A street car crew
had seen the fire as they passeo,
sped their car a short distance to
Enginehouse 10, stopped and noti-
fed the firemen.
The roof and bedroom furnish
ings were damaged approximately
$1,000, firemen estimated.
Two other families were forced
to flee from their burning homes
early this morning.
Awakened by the cracking of
flames, Mrs. Robert Reese, 1910
West Michigan street, warned the
family of Charles Moore, who lives
upstairs, and then rushed out.
The fire, which apparently start
ed from sparks, destroyed the roof.
Reese, a railroad man, returned
home to find his house aflre.
Flames of undetermined origin did
damage of $500.

AS great as has been and is the
life of Schumann-H eink, I think
her life story as written by Miss
Lawton is really the history of mu-
sic in Europe as it replateS to the
life of this singer.
And the charm of the book is that
Miss Lawton has caught the spirit
and the expressions of Madame. I
remember several years ago when
-Heink was here to sing
under the booking of Ona B. Tai
bott that I called upon the singer
and we had a wonderful visit.
Even at that time she told me
that her one thought was of the
soldier boys in the World war. She
told me with tears in he eyes that
told me with tears in her eyes that
letters from the soldiers placed in a
pillow that her head might resi-
upon their messages.
know that cried when she told
me that during my visit to her suite
at the Claypool and know that I
cried honest tears when I read it in
the book.
Madame Schumann-H eink In
talking to you has the habit of be-
| ing mimic and when she tells you
about a character, she just acts 1t
out. And Miss Lawton has per-
mitted Madame to act out" many
of the great people she met in this
, country and Europe.
,, 1t remained for the Grand Duke
Of Mecklenburg-S chwerin, during
the yearly musical festival in
Schwerin many years ago, to intro
duce Schuman-H eink to Holsters,
the table variety.
Madame was invited to a swell
feed after the festival and the
Grand Duke watched her carefully
when she tackled in a funny way
the lobster.
AS Madame tells Miss Lawton:
But when the lobster was brought
in and put in front of my place, I
stopped talking, can tell you, and
I suppose must have shown sur
prise, for I had never seen a lob
ster before. The Grand Duke, who
was watching me, saw my look, and
saw me begin my desperate strug-
giles with a knife and a fork to
crack and break off a piece of that
tough, hard shell. Then he leaned
forward and said:
Shall not help little?"
He was very amused, and I said:
ooh, yes, Your 1ighness, I really
wish you would, for I'm very hungry
and never saw such an animal as
this before"
And then, according to Madame.
the Grand Duke passed his own
plate to her, the lobster having been
prepared.
This is just one human touch to
the story Of the life of this great
woman. The book reads just 40

CALL MONEY RATES
MAY BE INCREASED
Dividend and Interest Payments
Expected to Affect the
Market.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

NEW YORK, November GA fur
ther advance yesterday in the rate of
sterling exchange places an additional
prohibition on the import of gold which
has been one of the recent influences
making for an easing of the strain on
the domestic money market.
Temporarily foreign bankers look to
see more gold going out, to Canada and
probably to Germany, than coming in,
quence during the remainder of this
year. Germany has increased her gold
holdings since the early part of 1928
by $150.000,000, and at present, the
Reichsbank holds larger amount of
the yellow metal than at any time since
1917. This has been secured mainly
from England, Russia and from the
United States.
The strain of competition between
the money rates in Europe and those OF
this country is beginning to show in
the uneasineSs of the heads Of European
central banks over their future dis
count policies. If this spread continues
until after the turn of the year it may
be necessary for the Bank of England
and the Bank of France to raise their
rates, although this would be to the dis
advantage of the trade of both Great
Britain and France.
The effect of it would be to withdraw
large amount of foreign capital now
being loaned in the American market
at the highest rates since 1921.
For over week call money has stood
at 61a per cent. Yesterday it went
to per cent. There are large De-
cember l dividend and interest pay
ments to be made and preparations at
that time for Government operations
on a heavy scale. This is expected to
stiffen rates for call money, as it COIN
cides with the beginning of the demand
for holiday currency which takes out
about 100000 from the market for
a period of several weeks. During this
week, also, the banks that have Chris
mas savings accounts will be paying
them to their depositors. The sum of
these is estimated at over 100000.
The effect of these payments on the
general money market, according to
Federal Reserve authorities, will be
slight, although in some instances
banks that have been keeping their
reserves low in order to lend out as
much as possible on call money may
be required to call loans in order to
take care Of these deposits.

NEW SECURITY ISSUES
SHOW RAPID INCREASE
Special Dispatch to The Star.

NEW YORK, November 27.-Since
1928 the number of new security issues
has increased very rapidly. In that
year there was an average of $267 ,000,- =
900 of new securities placed on the
market each month. Each year since
more and more stocks and bonds have
been issued. Last year the monthly
average was $608000,000. This in
crease of almost $50 per cent in four
years gives good idea of the rapidly
increasing power of investors to absorb
new securities.
During the first six months of this
year all former records were broken.
Finally, however, the market for new
securities began to feel the effects of
our large gold exports and the Federal
reserve banks in Tightening the credit
situation.
In February commercial paper rates
began to rise sharply and they were
| followed in April by falling bond prices
Commercial paper represents short
term credit and bonds long-term credit
In spite of the fact that credit was be-
| coming more difficult to obtain, stocks
| continued to soar, largely, perhaps, be-
cause general opinion seemed to be that
| tight credit was temporary and artifi-
cial condition. During May and June
record amounts of stocks and bonds
were placed on the market. In June
however, sharp break in prices on the
Stock Exchange took place with the re-
suit that in July and August there was
a sharp curtailment in the supply OF
new stocks.
The proportion of stock to bond issues
Is interesting. Most of the time since
1923 about quarters of new Sc.
cur1tieS have been bonds and only
\ about One-Quarter stocks But Wher
the bond market began to decline ir
April relatively more of the new .securi-
ties put on the market were stocks ano
by July only 36 per cent were bonds
while "a per cent we're stocks. In Sep
tember, the latest month available, the
pendulum had swung back to the point
where so per cent were bonds and &c
| per cent stocks
An analysis of the proportions over a
period of years would indicate that
while the popular notion seems to be
that stocks are rapidly giving way to
bonds, the figures prove that bonds are
! holding their own remarkably well.
