DANCE FIRES
Harrington Parents Object
To Alumni Program

HARL1NGEN. August IA
considerable furry has been caused
BY the announcement that there
will be q "Harlingen High School
Alumni Dance" held a. Cascade
Park McAllen beginning at one
o'clock Sunday morning.
II has been definitely established
that those back or the dance are
alumni OF the Harrington school
out why the unusual hour or why
the function is being staged at
McAllen are matters which have
not been agreed upon.
One theory IS that the dance is
being held as a protest a ~.inst a
school ruling against public dances
by classes and that the affair is
being held as far away as possible
10 avoid unwelcome guests in the
form Of irate parents.
The following notice is being
freely circulated Saturday: The
board OF education. the faculty OF
the Harrington high school and the
class mothers of class 80 do not
IMPROVE OF the dance which IS be-
ing staged at McAllen under the
name of the 'Harlinger High
School Alumni Dance"

BURIED ALIVE
Mexican Inventor Proves
Idea Is Practicable

MEXICO CITY. Aug. 2-Such
faith in the success Of his inven-
ton was held By Salvador Rcdrig-
uez. OF Mexico City. that he risked
his life in an unusual experiment
to demonstrate it.
Rodriguez, III collaboration with
Enrique Bosdet. a Mexican Of Can
adam parentage. is the c~o-inventor
OF a device TO spprehend the burial
Of supposedly dead persons alive.
In order 10 prove the success of
the newly invented system Rodriguez
was himself buried alive In a reg
ulation grave. while Mexican officials
81 the department Of Public Health.
and anxious members Of his family
and that OF BoSdet watched.
The invention consists OF a breath
ing and speaking tube leading from
the coffin to the exterior Of the
grave. Upon the slightest move
ment on the part ot the buried per-
son this tube opens. but ii cannot
be opened except from underground.
An automatic bell. which Is con-
nected with the office OF the over
seer Of the cemetery. then rings
until the buried person is r~esurrect-
ed.
While joking with anxious friends
who watched the experiment. Rod
riEuez entered the coffin and then
vas lowered into his grave and COW
cred with one and one-half meters
Of earth. Three tense minutes fol-
lowed. Then the breathing tube
suddenly popped open.
"Helloi" came a Spookv saluta-
ton from the depths Of the grave,
Are you all right?' The question
was shouted into the grave BY Rafael
2. Moreno. a mechanic who assisted
with the experiment.
Yes. But it's awful hot down
here

Allegheny Corp.

Every one who has had anything to
90 with securities In recent years is
familiar, more or less with the holding
company device. 1t has long been a
popular medium for the control of pub
lie utility properties and more lately
its use has been extended into other
fields. The vogue of the investment
trust has also helped to popularize the
holding company idea.
In the railroad world, however. hold
ing companies are comparatively recent
In development. The two most pron1i-
nent are the Allegheny Corporation and
Pennroad Corporation. The former con-
trolls. through its holdings of Chesa-
peake Corporation as we'll as direct
ownership Of the shares, the Chesa-
peake g. Ohio and has large interests
In other Van Sweringen railroads. It
Is consequently a favorite trading We
h1cle for those who wish to speculate in
the future of the operating roads con-
cerned, but Allegheny stock, like the
stock OF other holding companies, never
maintains an exact price correspond
ence with the market for the stocks Of
the carriers In its portfolio.
There Is also the disadvantage under
which buyers of investment trust shares
labor that precise information as to the
holdings Of the parent company are
oNeAoSAC OA4Ay az A4AOCAFdAo anu oOkIlC~
times not at all. Allegheny Corpora
ton was organized to invest in railroad
securities, but not to trade in them.
It's statements show that it has dis
posed Of securities from time to time
and presumably replaced them with
others, but these changes were made on
an investment and not on a speculative
basis, which is something more than
can be said Of many of the newer in
vestment trusts. The capital set-up is
attractive from the standpoint that it
allows buyers of either the bonds or
the preferred stock the opportunity of
participating in the profits Of the COM
pany, in the conversion privilege the
bonds carry and. in the warrants for
the purchase of common stock which
are attached to the preferred shares.
The market price of both bonds and
Of the senior stock reflects these privi-
leges, but still, particularly the pre-
ferred, give q reasonable return on the
money, and considering the high bank
ing sponsorship the company enjoys
may be rated as sound investments.
