In this instance we were not informed about this point. What we said, in substance, was that the company's financial position was sound, that favorable news has recently appeared about it, and that the probabilities favor a resumption of dividends. "Personally," the editor ventured, "if the decision were mine to make, I would be inclined to hold on unless immediate income were required." FOR 'OR some others there may be a little meat in this letter analyzing a list of investments submitted by a reader in Indiana: "The Indiana and Michigan stock is a good public utility preferred. Armour of Delaware is a fairly recently segregated member of the Armour family and is, normally, sound. Just why it has been down is a little difficult to say. If you have any feeling that it weakens your list-which I personally do not shareby all means sell it. "We are a little shy of rubber securities because of the many factors of uncertainty in the business-over-equipment of the factory end of the business here, uncertainty as to supplies and prices of the crude, and the prospect of a slump in the automobile business. Of course, the company [Goodyear] is one of the strongest in the field, but 'safety first' is a good motto to follow. "Your Anaconda bond would seem to us sufficiently secure, and we have a high opinion of Southern California Edison." FORMAN guaranteed bonds and the re liability of the Metropolitan Casualty Company concerned an inquirer in Minnesota. As to Metropolitan he asked, "What about the company itself? Is it reliable TO-DAY without any prospect of being alive to-morrow?" In our reply we did not make a point which now occurs to us, namely, that no company can be really reliable to-day without an excellent prospect of being reliable to-morrow. Exceptions? Certainly. But the rule is good. "George M. Forman," we wrote in answer, "is one of the oldest concerns of its kind in the country; it enjoys a high reputation and its bond offerings are, in general, of investment rank. The Metropolitan Casualty Insurance Company was established in 1874. It has a paidin capital of $1,000,000 and a surplus of about $775,000. Dividends in recent years have been at the rate of 16 per cent. The prospects are that it is not only reliable to-day, but that it will be so to-morrow." Church Touring Guild President: REV. S.

"Oh, that won't do," he said; "this is a big production. That number will have to be increased to twentyfour." Sioux City, Iowa, holds the record, as far as we know, of being the only city in this country which has demonstrated at the box-office that it disapproves of the play "Abie's Irish Rose." Characterized as an inane and worthless drama by practically all of the theatrical critics, this play has run for five years in New York City. Even in Boston it surpassed all other plays by running thirty-four consecutive weeks to crowded houses. Wherever the play is produced in America it breaks all records. Therefore the management could not believe that the Sioux City people really meant their disapproval. The show was sent back again in a few weeks for a second appearance, and again met with complete failure. Is our center of culture moving from Massachusetts to the Middle West?

The magnitude of the foreign sales of American-produced motion pictures is evidenced by the recent report of the Department of Commerce in Washington. The report reads: "Statistical data are now coming to light regarding royalties in our motion-picture industry which show unmistakably that for the last six years our receipts from motionpicture royalties have been at least $300,000,000, while our royalty payments for foreign films in that period have been scarcely $1,000,000. "Upon the basis of the most reliable sources and the most conservative estlmates the figures for motion-picture royalties for the last five years are as follows: 1921, $40,000,000; 1922, $50,000,000; 1923, $60,000,000; 1924, $70,000,000; 1925, $75,000,000. "Of the 1925 total, it has been estimated that Canada paid us $3,500,000; Europe, $52,000,000; Latin America, $7,500,000; and Asia and the rest of the world, $12,000,000." Sweet Young Thing: "Why are you running that steam-roller thing over that field?" Farmer: "I'm going to raise mashed potatoes this year." "If you cannot get along with two or three people," says Albert Edward Wiggam, "there may be something wrong with them. But if you cannot get on with ten or twelve people, there is something wrong with you." The superintendent of a Western railway had issued strict orders instructing station masters along the line to report all accidents or near-accidents immediately. The next day he received the following telegram: "Man fell off platform in front of speeding engine. Will wire details later." Five minutes later the details came over the wire. "Everything o. k. Nobody hurt. Engine was going backward." How to come out smiling from a bad loss is suggested by Edgar A. Guest in the "American Magazine." A merchant in a small town ran for office and was overwhelmingly defeated. He polled so few votes that he appeared ridiculous. He was in danger of being laughed at. "But," says Mr. Guest, "the merchant was a good sport. He beat the town to it. The morning after the election he put this sign in his window: '$25 reward for the name of the man who cast that vote for me.' Everybody saw it and laughed. But they laughed with him, and not at him." Cheer up, Ed Howe says. "Nothing except the flood was ever as bad as it was reported to be." The burning of the Shakespeare Theater at Stratford-on-Avon recalls the fact that David Garrick got up the first jubilee in honor of the bard one hundred and fifty years ago and lost money on the show, not the least part of which was James Boswell rigged up as a Corsican bandit with "Viva la liberta" displayed on his hat-band. The following curious advertisement appeared in a Los Angeles paper: "Wanted: Champion Checker Players who know their onions." About thirty-five crack kingjumpers applied for the position. An investigation determined that one of the large motion-picture theaters wanted a champion checker player to sit in front of a theater and play all comers. Naturally, crowds gather around to watch every game. Outlook |
