Where to Safely In- vest Your Money ? Copied from Babson’s report of July 11, 1922 “This leaves the electric power and light companies as the most attractive local in- vestment at the moment. There are seven reasons for this statement: (1) Every corporation depends to a large extent upon management but of all groups, I know of none where the personal equation is of less importance than in the case of power and light companies. Any man who is honest and desirous of serving the community can operate such a company successfully. He need not be either a financial or an electrical wizard. A power and light company which has a territory to itself and is giving good service usually will grow regardless of its management. 2) Plectric power and light companies have a relatively small labor charge. The percentage of the gross receipts which goes to labor is smaller than in almost any other in- dustry, and this cspecially applies to water power electrics] developments.

Customers The business man should real- ize that he is separated from his customers — old and new — by minutes, not miles. In these days of strenuous com- petition the successful merchant must make the best use of his re- sources, and there is none more important than his long distance telephone service. In the transaction of business the use of the long distance tele- phone will mean the prompt answer, the personal touch and an economy of time. Every Bell telephone is a Long Distance station.

If not every man then every other man in New York city is mad as a March hare about the desirability of owning somebody else's old junk. While he neglects to take care of what belongs to him already he sallies forth under the sway of an irresist- ible impuse to collect the cast-off props of another man. This is true, too, of women. It is grossly unfair, of course, to leave the idea that what they collect so avidly and search for so earnestly is trash. Strictly speaking it isn’t. Neither is it entitled to be put into the antique class. It ts just old stuff, with more or less good left in it. But it seems to attract this odd portion of the populace simply because it is sec- ond hand, Are those who buy so lit- tle certain of their own sense of se- lection of new goods that they want something upon which the stamp of some other person's approval has al- ready been visibly set? If not that, why is it that junk and rummage relics do so surely find cash buyers? It is not because they are cheap, though most would say If they were asked to give a reason. Watch these collectors closely. The rummage sort of goes to their heads, and they buy and buy as long ss they have money, TAKE DELIGHT IN MANIKINS Venetian Children Prefer Antics of Marionettes tea Any Moving Picture Show. Fashions in entertainments never change among patrons of the resource- ful Tony Sarg in New York, nor yet on the shores of the Adriutic, home- land of the marionettes.

They are | often seen hundreds of miles from land, appearing as mere specks in the sky After hovering almost motionless for a considerable time they take fight in ever-increasing circles In the direction of thelr island homes, which have of necessity to be reached ere the set ting of the sun, unless the faculty of sleeping on the wing Is possessed by them. I have never met or heard of a man who has seen the frigate bird rest on the waters of the ocean over which tt delights to wander.

It is reported that an expert of the Department of Agriculture has dis- covered that the spoiling of granu- lated Sugar, stored In damp places, re sults from the development of a mi croscopic fungus, seen in the form of threads and round bodies, and cap- able of being artificially cultivated, so that experiments can be made in inoculating sugar previously free from the growth. Three species of this fungus were found in some bar- rels of sugar which had become unfit for use. It grows readily on all kinds of cooked vegetables, but chiefly on raw vegetables.
