6% REAL ESTATE BONDS

Recommended by a TRUST COMPANY with resources of Fifty Million Dollars

Secured by First Mortgages

Guaranteed by a SURETY COMPANY with resources of Forty Million Dollars

AN arrangement has been effected whereby investors may now purchase the 6% Real Estate Bonds of any one of several well established Mortgage Companies, located in several States, each issue secured by First Mortgages that are:

1. Approved as to investment standard by THE BALTIMORE TRUST COMPANY, which has resources of more than $50,000,000.

2. Guaranteed as to principal and interest, except as to title, by THE United STATES FIDELITY & GUARANTY COMPANY, which has resources of more than $40,000,000.

3. Guaranteed as to title by THE NEW

YORK TITLE & MORTGAGE COMPANY, which has resources of more than $16,000,000, or by some other Title Company which is approved by THE BALTIMORE TRUST COMPANY and THE UNITED STATES FIDELITY AND GUARANTY COMPANY.

Every investment made in these bonds is triply secured-first, by the ample capital resources of one of the Mortgage Companies mentioned above; second, by conservative First Mortgages on completed properties; third, by THE United STATES FIDELITY & GUARANTY COMPANY'S guarantee of principal and interest on each

mortgage.

Each bond is certified by THE BALTIMORE TRUST COMPANY as Trustee, or by some other Bank or Trust Company approved by THE BALTIMORE TRUST COMPANY and THE UNITED STATES FIDELITY AND GUARANTY COMPANY.

Life's in a easy hotel-you don't have to worry about the state of the coal industry or where you'll ever find some one to take Helga's place. You can be as cozy as a bug in a rug and as independent as a good cook. You don't need to increase your expenses nearly as much as you think, either-you can find really comfortable quarters at a surprisingly low cost.

Many of the hotels listed in The Outlook's Classified Section under Hotels and Resorts are of the residential type. Write them for information about accommodations, or ask the Hotel and Travel Bureau, care of The Outlook, 120 East 16th Street, New York.

"grow up with the country" may make more in ten years' holding of gas stocks than in purchasing an industrial which does not have the same past, present, and future. Properly handled, such buying is investment; it is not speculation, for the first requisite must be that the stock is a good thing, irrespective of the chance of appreciation.

From Inquiring
Readers

NDLESSLY varied are the inquiries to this department. Their nature can be surmised from these replies:

Connnecticut: "Your list of securities appears to be very well selected and conservative. I note that, with the exception of the bank stocks, all your stocks are preferred; there is no harm in this, but the common stock of a sound company is practically as safe as a preferred and has, moreover, a better chance of appreciation.

"The earnings of Winsted Hosiery in 1924 showed a considerable gain over 1923. I do not know whether this is listed locally on Connecticut exchanges or not. The company is in a healthy financial condition.

"Colt's Patent Firearms Manufacturing Company has, as you may know, developed in recent years a side-line, making dish-washing machines. This concern is old and well established. I would suggest that you also investigate to see if the stock is listed.

"Connecticut Light and Power is, of course, a highly rated stock."

Illinois: "According to reliable information, the Union Bag and Paper Corporation earned its fixed charges 1.79 times in 1924 as against 3.20 times in 1923. The equity back of the stock remained practically unchanged-i. e., $103 per share in 1924, and $103.15 in 1923.

"In the last half of last year business was poor. The company appears, however, to be in sound financial condition. It is not expected that dividends will be resumed till business improves."

Iowa: "Federal Land Bank bonds, selected with all reasonable care, are standard investment securities."

Pennsylvania: "In regard to Centrifugal Pipe Corporation.

"Analysis of the financial report shows that in 1924 there was a deficit of $350,000 as against a surplus of $70,000 in 1923. The earnings per share in 1923

Insurance, long accepted as the backbone of personal and business credit, has been applied to a certain type of investment security in such a way as to positively safeguard the investor, both as to capital and income. A National Union Mortgage Bond is such a security.

The payment of 100% of the principal and interest of the first mortgages securing National Union Bonds is insured severally, and in varying percentages, by the following well-known Surety Companies:

U. S. Fidelity & Guaranty Co., Baltimore

Maryland Casualty Co.,

were only 25 cents-none, of course, in 1924.

"In 1924 the company received in royalties a total of $326,324; in 1923, $187,735; or an increase of $183,589. Patent amortization in 1924 was $636,364, as against $86,775 in the previous year, or an increase of $549,589. The deficit is thus seen to have arisen from this item.

"To go back of these figures would require considerable investigation. Why don't you write to the company and ask them just what these figures mean?"

Ohio: "As you doubtless know, due to bad conditions in the textile industry, the common dividend of the American Woolen Company has been passed and is, apparently, not likely to be paid for some time. The William A. Wood interests are out; the new management is considered capable and promises economies in administration.

"Whether dividends will be paid on preferred, I do not know. The company has a surplus of $22,000,000. Profit and loss surplus was drawn on last year to the extent of some $12,000,000, due to an operating loss of $4,000,000. It is quite probable that preferred dividends will be maintained, even if paid at first out of surplus. Last year the requirement was $3,500,000.

"We cannot advise you whether to sell or hold."

Iowa: "You will find bond tables in 'Yields of Bonds and Stocks,' Johnson, Stone, Cross and Kircher, published by Prentice-Hall, Inc., 70 Fifth Avenue, New York City."

A

FRAUD order has been issued by the United States Post Office against the Burnham Chemical Corporation of Reno, Nevada, closing the mails to this organization, about which many Outlook readers have inquired. The Searles Lake properties apparently contain potash, but the order was issued because careful investigation and consultation with reputable chemists showed that the claims made were extravagant and because it was alleged that about forty per cent of the money received from investors was disbursed through the medium of promotional costs.-(Abstracted from a bulletin of the Better Business Bureau of New York City.)

"Do you," added the writer, "regard this as a good time to buy bonds, or I would it be better to wait until later in the year?"

These bonds are investment bonds and worth owning, provided they can be purchased at prices to yield what is wished. "As to whether this is a good time to buy bonds we cannot say," ran the reply, "for the reason that a great deal depends on the course of money rates. Money is pretty firm at the present time. If it goes down, bonds will go up. This, however, is out of our province, and in the province of estimates of trends of events."

A

N anxious investor in the South who had lost a large portion of her capital by following the advice of a friend turned recently to The Outlook to know if what she had left in certain securities was safe. Let us take this occasion to say that a great deal of money has been lost through the advice of friends, and the tragedy of it is that in many cases the friends are perfectly conscientious and well-meaning, though inexpert in financial matters. Even if the friends happen to be bankers, it is well to check up on their advice. It may be laid down as a general rule that the most successful investors are those who make the final decision themselves, who do not ask for advice, but for information or suggestion --who prefer, in short, to take full responsibility for both their errors and their successes.

AN

N interesting list of bonds is suggested by an inquirer in New York State. There is much that could be said about each, but we endeavored to compress essential facts into a letter, of which the following is a portion:

The Baltimore and Ohio 42s of 1933 are a first lien pari passu with the Refunding and General Mortgage bonds of this company. Their security is high; they are an investment bond.

The Great Northern Railway General Mortgage 5s of 1973 are secured by the property of the system; the security is good. Moody's rating is Aa.

The 5s of 1962 of the Chicago and Western Indiana are secured by a first mortgage on the property of the old Chicago Union Transfer Company, and by a lien on all the other property of the road. Moody rates them Baa. The New York Edison 5s are A bonds. They are a first mortgage on fourteen power stations, and are further secured by the deposit of stocks and bonds.

We endeavor to find the hidden capacity or genius of a boy or girl.

We will aid in planning the education and general training of children of special and fine ability.

Sometimes very intelligent children fail to do themselves justice. There are children who seem to be unnaturally "slow" but who would do very well indeed if the reason for that "slowness" were analyzed and corrected.

Sometimes fundamentally fine children have had unfortunate experience, environment, or companionship, and need to have their whole outlook on life changed. This again is our work.

We should like to make you acquainted with the work of The Character Clinic, for the normal boy or girl, where ability may be discovered, educational troubles smoothed out, and character difficulties-mental, moral, and physical-recognized and turned into character assets.

Parents who find themselves deeply involved in the many problems assailing Boyhood and Girlhood may find The Character Clinic pointing a way toward the greater happiness and success of these children.

There is the way in which words are needlessly multiplied, to the embarrassment of the lexicographer, that one encounters in recording the names For of meteorological instruments. example, a combination of hygrometer and thermometer is sometimes called a "hygrothermometer." . . . "Hygrothermometer" implies "hygrothermometric,' "hygrothermometrical," and "hygrothermometrically." . . . Then, for each "-meter" used in meteorology there is, as a rule, a "-scope," a "-graph" and a "gram," and each "-scope" and "-graph" at least has its derivatives. Consider, now, if you please, the possibilities implied in the existence of such a word as "barothermohygroanemometer," actually found in the catalogue of a well-known French instrument maker. . . .
