EIGHT AMERICANS
 ID BE PRESENTED.
King George May Be Present al
 Seasons Last Court

London, July 10 LP)-Eight Amer ican girls and women spent the day light hours today in anticipation and preparation for this evening, when they will be presented to Queen Mary, and possibly King George. in the fourth and last Buckingham palace court of the season.
 King Georges presence at the court was still uncertain, since it was felt that the two hour ordeal of standing and acknowledging pre- sentation of hundreds Of persons might bring a recurrence of the rheumatism which forced his ab- sence from last months court. If he is absent the Prince of Wales will deputize for him.
 Tonight's function represents the beginning of the end of the London social season, which has been one of the most brilliant in years. After the garden party at Buckingham palace next week comes the Cowes regatta the last week in July which will terminate officially the social festivities. In August those not bound to the city leave it's heat for continental and English coast re- sorts.
 Japanese Royalty On Hand
 Among the most interested of to- nights guests will be Prince and Princess Takamatsu of Japan, who are spending part of their honey moon in London. The princess has asked especially to be present so as to see how a court presentation is handled in England.
 The American presentees are:
 Miss Lee Washington, of Wash ington, D. C.
 Miss Justine Townsend of New York city.
 Miss Elizabeth Wurts of Philadel- phia.
 Mrs. Roy Baker of Washington. D. C.
 Mrs. Nathaniel Davis, of Prince , ton. N. J,
 Mrs, Samuel Meek, of New York.
 Mrs. B. B. Moon, of Indiana polls. Mrs. W. K. Botsford, of New York. They will be presented by Mrs. Charles c. Dawes, wife of the Amer ican ambassador.

Missouri Pacific.

missouri PacIHc.
The bonds and the preferred stock
of the Missouri Pacific Railroad all
have unusual features of investment
and speculative interest. Since the re-
organization in 1917 the road has made
striking progress. In 1922 fixed charges
were not covered and total operating
revenue was $99,871 SAT, whereas in
1929 bond interest was earned 1T times
and operating revenue was $139,807,914.
While the bonds 10 years ago were
more or less speculative, they all rank
as investments today. The highest
yielding large issue Is the general As of
1875, on which a maturity return of
around 5.25 per cent Is to be had at
the present market. In March a year
ago there was offered to stockholders
the right to subscribe to a new con-
vertible bond carrying So per cent
coupon. The conversion privilege was
into common stock at 500 per share,
on and after May /, 1881. This bond
now sells at premium Of 8 or 10
points and combines speculative posi-
bilities with all reasonable safety.
There are two classes of capital stock
outstanding, 5 per cent convertible
cumulative preferred and a common,
both of 500 par value. The regular
rate is now being paid on the preferred,
on WHICH, however, bIleTe were DdCK I'M
paid dividends of $48.25 a share at the
beginning Of the present year. Moth
ing has ever been paid on the common
stock of the present company. 1t has
been proposed to settle the accrued
dividends on the preferred by giving
to shareholders common stock in lieu
Of cash, but to this plan the interests
now in control of the road have en-
tered objection, and the chances are
that it will not be &c fried out. The
market price of the preferred stock
takes into account the unpaid divi-
dends. BY subtraeting $4850 from the
current quotation, you will have the
market appraisal of the investment
value of a 5 per cent income on a Mis-
souri, Pacific preferred issue under pres
ent conditions. The preferred stock
also has a conversion privilege into
common, par for par, of no immediate
value, but which might become ifnpor-
tant in the course Of time.
Obviously, there Is a speculative quail
ity In both classes Of stock, and their
market future depends on the earning
outlook. AS to that, II can be said
there has been a sharp falling off In
the first half of 1880 in comparison
with 1929, but that the road has made
a good showing in comparison with that
