recent declines, many high-grade in
vestn1ent issues have reached levels al
which they are again attractive and a.
IA result buying came into the bond
market today and the list made head
way despite continued tax selling.
This movement was most strongly
felt in the, rails, both legal and second
grade. Public utilities, industrials and
the miscellaneous domestic issues were
irregular. Foreign dollar credits were
weak with wide losses shown in South
American descriptions, particularly
those Of the Argentine, where the clos
ing of the conversion Office to prevent
gold export has resulted in decline in
Argentine exchange.
The buying made itself evident in

Except for the activity in South

bonds reached new low prices for the
year in some cases. The 6 per cents OF
September, 1860, dropped ia points, the
9 per cents of june. 1859, lost IA
points and the 5la per cents were on
over points, all at new lows. Prov1n-
cial loans of Argentine were also down
Other South American issues went
lower in active trading. Brazilian, Pc.
rllYian, Bolivian, Colombian issues ana
loans of-the coffee States were included.
The serious exchange situation in the
Argentine has had the most pronounced
effect on Argentine government bonds
OF any incident in several years. The
6 per cent issues have always enjoyed
a good market and have held close to
their call price of par, with the eXpecta-
ton that as soon as money conditions
favored they would be refunded on q
lower coupon basis. Argentine credit
has been regarded as the strongest IN
South America UP to the present tune: .
Many institutions have held the 6
per cent obligations as q form of short
term investment. Argentine muhici-
pals and provincial bonds have also
ranked above those Of other South
American credits Of similar character
The last Government issue was that Of
February /. 1928, when $40 200, 900 of
515s were sold. There are nine diff
ferent per cent government loans
aggregating 1000, ,OoQ.a In addition

What Their Signatures Tell

high capitals and connected words always indi-
cate a trained mentality. The simplicity of the
letters made in the shortest and most direct
manner, shows efficiency; the peculiarly drawn
out appearance of the words and these long
terminals with their sharply hooked ends reveal
certain eager impatience, together with te-
nacity.
This very individual writing shows strength
TO overcome opposition, an assertive person.
atty and much creative Imagination Secretary
Wilbur has courage and ambition but he Is
not of the haii-fellow-w ell-met type He Is
slow to make friends or TO give his confidence,
but he is intensely loyal to those friends whom
he has once chosen.
TIE Secretary OF Agriculture. Arthur M
Hyde, has an ingratiating manner which
should enable him to pacify all the warning
farm groups, and he would delight In doing it.
for he loves to help others Look at that ~"
the extended word terminals and open "m
all indicative of friendliness and kindness. He
enjoys music, color, beauty In all forms, and,
though he has much ambition has little or no
personal vanity. He is logical, even tempered
sincere and has ar-sighted vision which en-
ables him to plan for the future.
There is much personal magnetism shown
In the writing of Secretary Of Labor James ].
Daviss He has an Astounding self-confdcnce,
talks well, is impulsive, friendly and intensely
interested in people. He Is the real "joiner"
type, expansive, full of zest for life, expressing
his emotions frankly and enjoying everything
music, company, sports and all the pleasures
Of life.
He is receptive, adaptable, tenacious and as
sertive, has much energy and courage, greatly
appreciative of culture and mental ability and
Is altogether of vital type. With this char
acter, it is no. surprising that he thoroughly
enjoys formal affairs and the pomp Of ritual
and pageantry, as well as taking pleasure In
more simple homclike joys.
Taking the writing of the cabinet as q whole,
we may safely say that 1t Is distinctly Anse<i-
can, but how true the individual delineations
are have no way Of knowing.

solutely independent mentally and cannot be

There are many delightful human qualities
shown in the writing Of the Postmaster Cen
eral Walter F. Brown. He is extremely kind
and thoughtful for interiors, loves children, is
sympathetic and generous has a pleasant
cheerful disposition and enjoys all the simple,
homelike pleasures of life. But do not imagine
that he is colorless, by any means. His mental
qualities are as well developed as his human
His mind is versatile and very inquiring, logical
and capable Of complete absorption in the
business OF the moment. His taste is excellent,
he Is shrewd judge of character and has q
tenacious will. His signature shows distinct
element Of caution and he is likely to be con-
servative in his opinions
TO the graphologist the writing of Charles
F. Adams, Secretary of the Navy, comes
as surprise, for the newspaper reports at the
time Of his appointment said his manner was
reserved and severe, and his writing contra
diets that opinion fatty. Maybe that manner
is camoufiage, a protective armor, for he is
really very sociable being, fond of congenial
company, quick in repartee and possessing a
very delightful wit. His writing also tells us that
he is always willing to help the under dog
has much originality, delights in reading and
in good English and has very wide range of
intellectual interests.
His well known love of the sea is shown in
that wide-looped IF" and the exaggeratedly long
loop of the "g," but the quick, uneven spurts
of pen pressure tell of nervous temperament
which may, at times, be decidedly irritable
The occasional breaks between the letters of a
word show intuition and the peculiarly brittle
look of the writing denotes a quick, highly
strung temperament.

The quick and stormy and impetuous years
had left their mark on Aileen. Leland had
broken her, as the saying goes. Her spirit lay
a dead thing within her. Gone was the Ice
glitter from her eyes, and the shoulders of
Aileen. the lovely creamy shoulders that had
always defied, were tanned somehow. It was

heart-hurting edition of her former self.
Leland has fulfilled the Bradstoop prophecies.
Gradually it was all to come out. Not 50 much
from what Aileen was ever to say. But piece
by piece by piece, the whole sordid story was
unconsciously to reproduce itself before her
family.

and a father. His children had lived Ia terror

known for a certainty to be anything but con-
sentative.
He was a young man somehow, who seemed
foreordained. There was transient quality
about Leland. You expected catastrophe to
overtake him, one way another. It was in
his cards. It was in his eyes.
Ten years after his marriage to Aileen it did.
And of all ironic accidents! Leland, the dare
devil, the act, the aviator; Leland, who loved

Six months later there returned to America,
practically penniless Aileen and her four chill
dren, two robust boys and a pair of frail girl
twins.
