You May Obtain Part One
Of the Coolidge Story in
Reprint Form

- Tisa 49, s 2
FAS, of course, you are aware, there has
been no magazine feature in our time
which attracted such universal and favor
able attention as has Mr.. Cooidge's fine
human story. The only unfortunate feature
in the situation is that so many persons
eager to read the document were unable
to do so because the April edition of Cos
mopolitan was swept from the news-stands
almost overnight. This despite the fact
that we had greatly increased our printing.
Six days after publication we had re-
ceived orders for additional copies from
more than 1900 cities. After ten days it
was impossible to fill another subscription
order. Copies were recalled by wire from
Canada, but still the supply was INSULT
cient. Some greedy dealers were selling
the few copies they had left for as high as
$1.0O copy.
Mr.. Coolidge naturally desires that all
who want to read his story Of the Presi-
dency should have the opportunity. :
That also is the desire Of Ray Long,
Editor of Cosmopolitan, to whom Mr..
Coolidge intrusted his historic manuscript
for publication.
Rather than disappoint friends and
readers, we have reprinted Part One in
pamphlet form and you may have copy
for the asking.

volume of advertising in Cosmopolitan history.
This month, Cosmopolitan also breaks its May

CONVERTIBLE BOND

Market Moves in Sympathy

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. February 5.-The fact
that considerable geld was reported to-
day for import did not change rates
for money. Under steady strain of the
high money rates there was further
moderate selling of low-yielding bonds.
This type of investment is now at ap-
proximately the lowest level in several
years and it is significant that in spite
of substantial declines recently they
show almost no rally Northern Pacific
4s are off full point this week.
Further losses ranging from Il to "a
point occurred in this group today.
The convertibles were also reaction
airy in line with the irregularity of
stocks. All the big Four"-namely,
International Telephone AIS, Allegheny
Corporation SIS, American International
512s and Public Service of New Jersey
412s-were lower with prices ranging
from Il to az points below yesterdays
closing.
Anglo Chilean rs advanced point to
par, Remington Rand 5l2s were active
in the neighborhood of 95 and Cali
fornia Petroleum SIS showed a good
advance
Wickwire Spencer convertible rs and
WalWorth IS we're strong.
NOG only nave LIlS legal Tails anu
public utilities been soft. but the market
for junior rails is affected by the high
money rates. The same condition bears
on a number of the low coupon for
eign government obligations. Wabash
4l2s, brought out year ago at 95la,
were today 8 points lower than when
originally offered. The short line rail-
road bonds. after some reaction from
last weeks rise. moved up again.
In the foreign list all of the French
issues, Japanese, Germans and Argen-
tines we're strong. Several of the East
ern European issues were heavy. among
them Greek government IS and City
Of Budapest IS.
Today's new offerings were distinctive
in that practically all were in the form
of bonds. although bonds with con-
vertible features. AS an indication of
the change in the times, the new Com
mercial Investment Trust 51a per cent
debentureS are convertible into common
stock of the corporation, whereas the
earlier 6 per cent convertible debentures
were exchanged into preferred stocks.
The average investor today is about as
little interested in preferred stock as
ne is In bond unless the former may
be convertible into common.

STOCKS OF YOUNG BEEF +!
INCREASED IN VIRGINIA
BY the Associated Press.


RICHMOND, Va, February 5.-Vir-
ginia farmers slightly increased their
stocks of young beef animals and de-
creased to small extent the number
of steers last year, as compared with
1927, it is shown by figures compiled by
Henry M. Taylor, Federal-State agricul-
tural' statistician.
There we're $4,000 beef calves on
Virginia farms on January l, 1929, as
compared with 10000 last year. HeiferS
increased to 10000 from $4,000 reported
January /, 1925 steers decreased from
114,00O to $4,000. and milk cows in
creased from 364,000 to $4,000. The
number of bulls was reported the same
for both years. the figure being $4,000.
Virginia farmers already established
in the beef industry are faced with ia
it is reported. The price cycle is now
said to be at the peak.
In the past price levels similar to the
present ones have been followed by in
creased production and reduced prices,
it is Stated. For this reason reports
received by Mr.. Taylor indicate that
the present time is not favorable for
new producers to enter the beef indus
try, while those already in the business
may profit by moderate expansion dur
ing the next two or three years, even
though prices go somewhat lower.
The United States Department Of Ag-
riculture estimates that the number OF
beef cattle in the country is approx
mately 55,751, 900. or 10000 more than
on January /, 1928.

TAPLINS WIN SUPPORT

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, February 5.-The Bust
ness Protective Association, composed OF
members living along the line OF the
Western Maryland Railway III Mary
land, Pennsylvania and West Virginia,
will support the Taplin interests in their
endeavor to secure control OF the west
ern Maryland from the Baltimore &
Ohio, it is reported here. The associa-
ton favors three trunk lines for Bal
timore.
A. E. Peck, attorney for the Business
Protective Association, said his organi-
cation was in sympathy with the Taplin
move to take over the Western Mary
land and was working on behalf of such
plan.
He said the association would partici-
pate on the side of the Pittsburgh &
West Virginia in all hearings on the
application held by the Interstate Com
merce Commission.
I'VE would fight the Pennsylvania as
hard as we would the Baltimore 81 Ohio
over the Western Maryland. We feel
that it should be in control of an active
competitive system"
Commenting on reports that the Bal
timore & Ohio would seek to take over
the Pennsylvania & Reading Railroad
and the Central of New Jersey, Mr..
Peck said he thought such a move
would be beneficial to the railroads and
to Baltimore, as it would provide the
Baltimore & Ohio with a direct COM
