CHOICE site in one of America's great cities, improved by a modern residential or business structure, secures each issue of SMITH BONDS.

Every SMITH BOND is a First Mortgage Bond, secured by a direct first lien on the land and building, and also in effect on the earnings, of a modern, income-producing, city property.

In every instance there is a wide margin of security for investors between the amount of the First Mortgage Bond issue and the value of the property.

In every instance we require monthly sinking fund payments toward the annual reduction of the mortgage, so that the margin of security for investors is constantly increased.

In every instance we require monthly sinking fund payments toward the semiannual interest, so that prompt payment of interest is assured.

In every instance we require that the earning capacity of the building be considerably more than the amount required to make these sinking fund payments.

SEND FOR THESE BOOKLETS Our booklet, "Fifty-three Years of Proven Safety," contains a further explanation of the safeguards that protect every investment in Smith Bonds, and that have resulted in our record of no loss to any investor in 53 years.

Our booklet, "How to Build an Independent Income," tells how you may buy a $1,000, $500 or $100 SMITH BOND by payments over 10 months, and get the full rate of bond interest on every payment. Our current offerings pay 7%.

For copies of these two booklets, and for circulars describing our current 7% offerings, send your name and address today on the form below.

By the Way

[graphic]

THE editor of a Texas country news

deposited $50,000 in one of the local banks. He had been publishing his little country paper for thirty years, and had moved to the city with a round $50,000 to his credit. When asked the secret to his great financial success, he said: "I attribute my ability to retire with a $50,000 bank account after thirty years in the country newspaper field to close application to duty, also hewing to the mark and letting the chips fall where they may, the most rigorous rules of economy, never spending a cent foolishly, everlastingly keeping at my job with a whole heart, and the death of an uncle who left me $49,999.50."

The New York sight-seeing buses are now built with glass roofs. Are the foresighted promoters of these sight-seeing tours trying to avoid lawsuits for dislocated necks?

The following is an excerpt from the speech of Mr. Sam Spring, secretary and treasurer of the First National Motion Picture Company, given on the opening day of its salesmen's convention, held in Chicago:

"Make the exhibitor squeal, holler, and yell. Make him call for the police and the fire department, but get better prices. The good salesman is the one who can sell the poor pictures-any one can sell the good ones."

The "New Yorker" is responsible for reviving the story about the Scotchman who was on a train bound for London. At each stop the Scot hurried into the station and rushed back to his seat again just before the train started. After this had been repeated many times a fellow-passenger finally asked the reason.

"It is because of my heart," the Scotchman explained. "The doctor said I may drop off at any time, and I am buying my ticket from station to station."

A United Press despatch from Fresno, California:

When Frank Cullen tells his next fish story he will be greeted by jeers.

Cullen had the reputation of being a fisherman par excellence. He had been presented with numerous trophies inscribed with records of huge fish he had caught.

But neighbors, desiring to weigh a baby, called upon Cullen to borrow his scales.

Although a physician declared that the baby was of ordinary size, Cullen's apparatus showed the weight to be thirty-five pounds.

An absent-minded person has been defined as one who thinks he left his watch at home and then takes it out to see if he has time to go home and get it.

Traffic conditions in Los Angeles, California, force most of the women shoppers and matinée goers to leave their automobiles in parking stations, which charge from thirtyfive to fifty cents for this service. An enterprising furniture store made an arrangement with the garages whereby they would have men at the curb in front of the store to handle the machines of the patrons of their establishment free of charge while the owners shopped. The normal number of automobiles thus handled was about 150 a day, but when the women learned that they could leave their cars, enter the store by one door and leave by another, enjoy the matinée, and then return through the store and have their cars driven up for them by an attendant, the number of machines handled each day mounted to between 1,500 and 1,800.

Stoddard King in the "Spokesman-Review" makes the following report:

A touching scene was observed the other day at a point midway between Tacoma and Seattle. In the presence of Governor Hartley, the Mayors of the two Sound cities buried a symbolic hatchet. Hereafter, it was said, there will be no intercity dissension. Which being the case, what possible use there can be for the World Court is a mystery.

It was a mistake, though, to let Governor Hartley know where the hatchet was buried. Hardly a day goes by that the Governor hasn't plenty of use for a good, dependable lethal weapon.

Judging from the letters that reach this office, there are others besides Governor Hartley who know where that hatchet is hid.

"What position did you hold in your last place?" asked the merchant.

"I was a doer, sir."

"A doer! What's that?"

"Well, sir, you see when my employer wanted anything done he would tell the cashier, the cashier would tell the bookkeeper, the bookkeeper would tell the clerk, and the clerk would tell me.".

"And what would happen then?" "Well, sir, as I hadn't any one to tell it to, I had to do it."

The Ku Klux Klan in Norfolk, Virginia, held a celebration during the week of May 3. Marcus Loew, Jewish owner of a new million-dollar theater in Norfolk, complied with the request of the Klan that he postpone the opening of his theater so as not to conflict with the K. K. K.'s doings. Not to be outdone, Mr. J. Wells, a Roman Catholic, gave the Klan the use of his theater during their celebration.

From "Life:"

Mother: "Do you want to hear a story about a good little girl?"

Daughter: "Maybe. What was she good

at?"

Another good one has been revised by "Capper's Weekly:"

Lady (in shoe store): "Of course, I want them comfortable and easy, but at the same time neat and attractive."

Clerk: "I understand, madam, large inside and small outside."

Judge Marcus Kavanaugh, of the Chicago Criminal Court, has made a survey of the murders of the past twenty years. During that period 170,000 murders were committed in the United States; 34,000 of the murderers have been executed, 18,000 are in prison, and 118,000 went scot free.

"Our son is sure to be a big executive some day."

"What makes you think so?"

"It takes him so long to eat his lunch."

Four years ago Joseph B. Gilder explained in The Outlook that Captain Kidd was not a pirate at all. Now a recent investigation discloses that Pittsburgh is not the smokiest city. St. Louis and Cincinnati rank first and second, respectively, and Pittsburgh trials as a poor third. Then come Detroit, Chicago, Indianapolis, Cleveland, Louisville, Buffalo, Baltimore, Milwaukee, New Toledo, Columbus, and Philadelphia. York City is ranked away down the list as number fifteen. One no longer knows what to believe in.

Answer to last week's anagram: "Selim," "smile," "Emil's," "slime," "Elim's," "miles," "limes."

Across Florida

D. FAUCETTE, Chief Engineer of the Seaboard Air Line Railway Company, and, as he says, "a subscriber to The Outlook for many years," has written a letter making note of an error in Mrs. Shelby's article on "The Crisis of the Florida Fever." "Were there good cross-State railway facilities above the Glades," said Mrs. Shelby in The Outlook for May 5, "the important supplies might have come in from Mobile and Birmingham via Tampa." In his letter Mr. Faucette pointed out that his company, the Seaboard Air Line Railway, has a cross-State line, "one of the finest railroads in the State of Florida, laid with 100-pound rail, connecting St. Petersburg, Tampa, Lake Wales, Winter Haven, Sebring, Okeechobee, and West Palm Beach." He adds that "this line was constructed and put in service in January. 1925, as a further extension of our system which covers the State. We cross both east and west and north and south." He concludes by saying that he calls our attention to this fact because, as he states it, "I do not want the public to overlook this piece of constructive work done by my company, which facility aided all Florida beyond computation and was conceived ahead of the critical need."

Mrs. Shelby's statement was due to an inadvertence, which she acknowledges and regrets, and in a letter to us she adds: "So far as the Seaboard transverse is concerned, it was taxed to handle overwhelming burdens of freight for the lake country immediately adjacent to Tampa. Although the railroad did all it could with crossState service, it was only single-tracked, like practically all the Florida lines at the time. The Florida East Coast had just started double-tracking. Doubtless had the Seaboard route double-tracked it been might have been a more important factor in the solution of the freight distress on the East Coast."

We are much obliged to Mr. Faucette for giving us the opportunity to correct the error.-THE EDITORS.
