HOWELL MAY DRAFT
PROJECTS COST BILL
Would Require q. s. to Finish All
Work Within Sums First
Authorized.

Senator Howell, Republican, of Me-
braska, is considering drafting general
legislation that would require Govern
ment departments carrying on Federal
improvement projects to complete such
projects within the original amount au-
thorized when the work is started.
The Senator believes that when Con-
gress authorizes a certain amount for
q given project, it should be intended
as the ultimate cost, TO avoid increas-
ing authorizations as the work pro-
crosses.
The Senator became interested in the
subject in connection with his study Of
the amount required for the memorial
boulevard to Mount Vernon.

When YOurCOueh
Hangs On, Mix
This at Home

For coughs due to colds, the best
remedy that money could buy can easily
be mixed at home. 1t saves money and
gives you the most reliable, quick-act-
ing medicine you ever used. The way
it takes hold of stubborn coughs, giving
immediate relief, is astonishing.
Any druggist can supply you with
21h ounces of Pinex. Pour this into a
pint bottle, and fill up with plain gran
ulated sugar syrup or strained honey.
It's no trouble at all to mix, and when
you once use it, you will never be with
out it. Keeps perfectly and tastes
good-children really like it.
1t is surprising how quickly this
loosens the germ-laden phlegm, and
soothes the infamed membranes. At
the same time, part of the medicine
is absorbed into the blood, where it
acts directly on the bronchial tubes,
and helps the system throw off the
whole trouble. Even those severe
coughs which follow cold epidemics,
are promptly ended.
Pinex is highly concentrated COM
pound of Norway Pine, containing the
active agent of creosote, in refined,
palatable form. Nothing known in
medicine is more helpful in cases Of
severe coughs and bronchial irritations.
Do not accept a substitute for Pinex.
It is guaranteed to give prompt relief
or money refunded.

Buying for Profit
BY GEORGE +. HUGHES.

There are only few subjects on which
advice Is as freely offered as 1t Is on
the purchase OF securities. The mar
velous part Of 1t 10 that as far as Sc
curities are concerned. the advice is
more readily accepted than It II on
any other topic, bar none. It IL not
necessary-in fact, Is 1t not usuai-that
the person who proffers the advice have
any qualifications for giving IT,,
The proof Of this statement can be
had in the stock market on almost any
business day Of the year. People who
Wouio not buy piece Of real estate
without personally examining the prop
,erty. having the title, searched ana
waxing long time to debate the merits
OF the commitment will buy stocks and
bonds on somebody's say-so without
any Investigation whatever. This a. the
real reason why such large losses are
incurred in what is planned to- be an
investment. but 20 often turns out to
De speculation, and q disastrous Spec
ulation ut that. .-ss -
Now, before making any purchase of
any security whatever the purchaser
should know the reason, why the Sc
40 ~SRENnCA u US 8OuIlC. uG1G
reasons must stand examination in de-
tail and they must be good tomorrow
and the day after tomorrow and next
week and next month and next year,
Just as good as they are today. OF
course, conditions in trade and =. in
finance continuously change, and no
one can be responsible for ali the con-
tingencies that may arise, but an ar
gument in favor Of an investment ought
to commend itself to the same kind Of
common sense that q prudent man
would use when he was urged to I'M
dertake any other venture.
There Is no hurry about investing,
whatever haste may be necessary, In
the speculative feld. It takes Q; long
time TO save money and there ought to
be- some elaboration, before one turns
the money over to some other party,
even though 1t be . corporation, to
keep for him. The American people are
said to be stock minded" and proba-
bly, they are. There is nothing wrong
about that, hnt what they need in order
to preserve their individual 'solvency IL
more inquiring turn Of mind on the
subject Of investment securities. =

BOOST IN RAILROAD
RATES IS ENDORSED
special Dispatch to The star.

special Dispatch TO me Star
BALTIMORE, July 15.-If the rail-
roads Of the United States can be tided
over the present emergency by an IN
crease in freight rates 20 that they
will be enabled to receive revenues to
meet their costs of operations and their
fixed charges, their future will be Sc
cure. former Gov. John ]. Cornwell Of
West Virginia, chief counsel for the
Baltimore d Ohio Railroad, told the
Baltimore Bond Club at its monthly
luncheon yesterday.
THE railroads Of the. country" Mr.
Cornwell declared, did not as o whole
earn their fixed charges during the first
six months of the present year. Unless
some immediate relief IL secured for
them the consequence will be that some
four or flve or six billions of dollars
In bonds will cease to be legal for in
vestment by savings banks and will have
to be thrown on the market. The con.
sequence of this would not only be to
destroy the credit Of the railroads in
general and perhaps throw many of
them into bankruptcy, but It would have
calamitous effects on securities gem
orally" -, ., go
Declaring that the motor bus and
truck competition. which in recent
years has made such sweeping inroads
into the revenues of the railroads. is
on the crest OF the wave and may
shortly be expected to- undergo a cor
rection through economic pressure, Mr.
Cornwell described the present plight of
the roads rs purely an emergency"
The roads," he said, regulated and
controlled as they are by the law, were
unable during boom years to, Law up
huge reserves as other corporations did
to carry them through the lean years.
and must now have aid II they are not
to face bankruptcy"

Gain in Cotton Use Urged.

ATLANTA. Ga, July 15.-A 50 per
cent increase In American consumption
of cotton was advocated here as q means
Of caring for the surplus crop by Cason
J. Galloway Of Lagrange Ca. president
Of the American Cotton Manufacturers
Association.
Speaking ct q meeting of the Atlanta
Rotary Club. Galloway pointed out that
available reports indicate q cotton
earTyover this year Of 5000 900 bales
greater than that Of the last year
average.
The average American consumption
for the past decade, he said, has been
5000, 900 bales. Il Ii possible, the
speaker said. for the American people
to use 80 per cent more cotton during
the next year than they have averaged
using the past 10. He quoted figures
showing that only 457 per cent Of the
cotton grown in America Is consumed
IN this country.
