Miller & Co., Inc., to provide for the payment of moneys received from mortgagors to September 1, 1926, for interest and amortization, etc.," the receiver also states, "awaits the disposition of the court. Notice of the decision of the court will be sent to every bondholder. "Detailed information as to the other issues of G. L. Miller & Co., Inc., is now in the course of preparation and will be sent you when completed. "Many of the buildings upon which such data is now being prepared are in arrears as to small amounts, and the fact that any issue does not appear on the foregoing list is no indication that the bonds of that issue are not amply secured. "It is suggested that bondholders await the information as to the securities not appearing on this list. "The receiver will make no charge whatsoever to the bondholders in advising them of the substitution of a trustee or in advising them when to present their coupons for payment." A Calling Bonds WORD of friendly warning to people whose bonds are about to be called without their knowledge. As if by magic the news that a corporation has decided to call its bonds flashes through the financial community. We know of a recent instance where a relatively obscure issue, selling slowly at about 90, was about to be paid several years prior to maturity at a premium of three points. This meant, of course, $130 profit per bond for the wise broker who could get owners to sell before the news was made public. How much was made in this particular instance we are not informed, but the only bondholders who made were those who could not be reached quickly enough, or those who had the sense to realize that they had a good bond which would probably be paid at maturity and that might be called at any time. In this case the reason for the call was a reorganization of capital structure in an interlocking set of corporations. Naturally, the issuing company wanted to buy in its own bonds as cheaply as it could instead of buying them at 103 or 104. Naturally the brokers who had the advance news wanted to make their turnover as handsome as possible. Naturally some bondholders who had bought at par and had watched their security tumble, thought a 10-point loss was better than one of 20 or 30 points. Just a suggestion. If you are a bondholder, are you familiar with the call feature of your bonds, and are you sufficiently familiar with your companies to know which are likely to refund their debts by calling? W. L.

You'll be wanting a plumber then, so send now. A suspicious subscriber writes in to inform us that the recent California earthquake scare was Florida propaganda. The curious one asked a Negro who was whitewashing a fence, "Sam, why don't you get a brush with more bristles in it?" "Wha' foh?" replied the old man. "Why, if you had a good brush you could do twice as much work." "Yassah, but Ah ain't got twicet as much wu'k to do." From the "Passing Show:" Visitor: "Isn't it difficult to keep your household budget straight?" Mrs. Newlywed: "My dear-it's terrible. This month I've had to put in four mistakes to make mine balance correctly!" A Cuban subscriber sends us the following true story: An American family, preparing to leave Cuba, were selling their household effects, among which was an old-fashioned motto which contained the picture of their daughter who had died. After removing the photograph they sold the framed motto to a Cuban who cannot read English. The motto now hangs on the wall in the Cuban's house with the photo of himself (who is very much alive) in it. Above his picture in pretty gilt letters are the words: THOU ART GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN The Bureau of Census reports that the production of radio apparatus jumped 215.5 per cent in 1925.

The number of tukes jumped from 4,687,400 in 1923 to 23,934,658 in 1925-an increase of 410.6 per cent. A strong trend toward higher-priced tube sets is noticed in the Census report.

Jazz, after all, says the Manchester "Guardian," has its uses, as a correspondent's anecdote points out. The vicar had employed a man to do some painting in the church, and found him plying his brush briskly to the whistled air of a syncopated song. "A somewhat-er-secular melody," said the vicar, hesitatingly. "Could you not whistle something-er-slightly more appropriate?" Two hours later he returned to find the painter whistling the "Old Hundredth," his brush moving slowly in unison. "Dear me," he said thoughtfully, after watching a minute or two; "there was that other tune. Perhaps, after all, you might whistle that again!"

Naïveness is indeed a mild expression to use. To the same town this summer there came two hundred American physicians. They were the guests of the faculty of medicine of the University. The climax of the entertainment was a banquet. On this occasion, so one of the leading professors of medicine present later told me, the Americans imbibed quite freely of Rhenish wine. An American woman doctor became so hilarious that she seized a bouquet of roses from the table and threw it in the professor's face. Later the two hundred guests united in asking the local faculty to sing a new piece of popular German ragtime. This request was politely refused as being "too childish."

I Joyous Round T'S mighty rare to find You've got to be some- The Fun of Growing of the most exciting things this existence contains. This growth of mind and feeling is what we call Čulture. Always, people have recognized that one great source of culture is the stored-up World Literature. There isn't anything sacred, or solemn, or hidden about "Literature." Literature Belongs to You A lot of men and women in the last 7,000 years have observed other men, and women, and life; they have had emotions so keen, ideas so moving that they had to put them on paper (or burnt bricks, or papyrus, or vellum, or what-not). Those writings which convey the most significant thoughts, which pass on feeling most vividly, constitute Literature. Some of it belongs to you. It is full of knowledge about Man: animal, poet, philosopher, statesman, merchant, fighter. There are things in it that increase your powers, give you more insight into other human beings, wake new ideas in your mind. For Knowledge really is Power; where other qualities are at all equal, it is the man who has thought most who makes the largest material success in life-more important, who gets most out of life. The Road to Culture There never was a nation that strove harder for Culture than ours. And it is worth having-simply because it helps you to suck out of life the pleasures that mean most to you. But nobody ever got Culture from reading good books alone. You must be interested by what you read in order to have ideas flame up, to start something growing in your own mind. and sensitiveness and ideas-then you can't help increasing your own mental stature. Read What You Like of the Things Worth Reading THE GOLDEN BOOK MAGAZINE is a monthly selection from the whole world library of things that are both interesting and worthwhile. It may be a piece of wisdom scratched on a papyrus by an Egyptian 6,000 years ago; it may be a new story written last year; it may be a memorable saying picked from a newspaper or overheard somewhere; if it is alive, if it is worth reading, it belongs in this magazine -fiction, essays, poetry, history, adventure, character studies, bits of philosophy, humor, epigrams. With such material to choose from, the magazine could not help being truly entertaining. It is good reading-for five minutes, for an hour, for relaxing the sleepless mind after a hard day's work. But it is a lot more than that. The Book of Man: Fiction Fiction is the Book of Man. Story writers of this grade help you to understand other human beings and why they act as they do. And all success in business and social life depends on that. All you've got to do is to discover among the things that count some that you really like.
