ment made on the common. The common in this case will not be considered as attractive an investment as formerly, and its price will drop tremendously. Suppose a still worse year ensues and earnings are only $600,000. Interest on the bonds will be paid, but nothing on the preferred or common stocks. If earnings were only $400,000, interest would probably still be paid on the bonds, the deficit made up by dipping into the treasury, but the two classes of stocks would of course again be ignored.

It is possibilities such as these that make bonds the best investments, that cause preferred stocks to rank second and common stocks last. And every investor in making up his mind about what to buy should remember that it is wise to consider the possibility of adversity as well as prosperity.

Squeak!

Squeak! - Squeak! Squeak!-Squeak!

Stop it-With 3-in-One

Squeaking means friction. Friction means premature wearing out-expense.

Lubricate your auto springs with 3-inOne Oil-the easy way. Done in an instant. Keeps your hands clean. Don't jack up your car. Don't loosen the clips. Don't use a spring spreader. Do nothing but just this: Squirt 3-inOne along the edges of the leaves and on the ends of the springs. Its penetrating power is wonderful. It works

End Magneto Troubles

by oiling your magneto (any make) with 3-in-One, the oil that never clogs a bearing or burns at any rate of speed. It lubricates the delicate bearings perfectly and works out every vestige of gum and dirt. Result -a fat, hot spark at just the right firing instant. Magneto manufacturers recommend 3-in-One.

Ford Commutators

need 3-in-One. Makes cranking far easier. No dust or dirt can collect in the commutator when 3-in-One is used. The oil keeps it bright and clean. Every Ford owner. should try this.

its way between the leaves-lubricates them perfectly-stops the squeak. 3-in-One prevents rust forming between the leaves-the cause of nearly all spring breakage. Apply 3-in-One once a week, then the leaves will always slide freely and the springs ride easier. New springs lose their stiffness if 3-in-One is used.

Keep Your Car Bright

by using 3-in-One on the varnished body surfaces. It beautifies the car and hardens the high finish. Prevents rust on the metal parts. Puts a fine polish on nickel parts. Brightens up the windshield. Preserves the upholstery and leather cushions.

as day after day I found no true solution to the problem. And then I learned a secret that opened to me the innermost portals of my child's heart and disobedience vanished almost magically. Just a little tug at the heart-strings and this problem and all that came later were solved.

I Learn this Secret

A great friend of mine was the mother of an adorable little girl, Judith. This happy mother told me the secret of the Parents' Association, an organization of 30,000 parents. "For the first time," she said, "there is now a scientific method in child training, founded on the principle that confidence is the basis of control. This new system really shows you how in your own home to correct the cause of disobedience, wilfulness, untruthfulness, and other dangerous habits which, if

BY THE WAY

VISITOR to the recent Book Fair in Florence, Italy, says in the "American Printer" that among the surprises of the fair was a large exhibit from Soviet Russia, containing many newspapers. "One would think," he says, "that when the Soviet presses are not busy printing currency they print newspapers." Poland's exhibit of books and posters was distinctive and artistic, in the opinion of this observer, while "Germany in her shrewd and clever manner had arranged a very large exhibit." America was represented, but only in a small way, "her meager representation being due in part to the late day at which many American houses were notified of the fair."

The tribulations of a non-Italianspeaking visitor to the Florence Book Fair are humorously hit off by the writer above quoted, in describing his attempt to get to the Pitti Palace. He wrote "Palazzo Pitti" on a piece of paper and showed it to the cab driver. The man seemed to understand, and started. "After a while he seemed to become possessed of a bright idea, for he turned and rattled off a lot of words among which I recognized 'Michelangelo.' repeated the word to show that I understood that much. Soon we began to go up a grade, and becoming uneasy I again showed him my pad with the words 'Palazzo Pitti' on it. He stopped

the horse and talked a lot; I got out my guide-book, and finally I found that we were on our way to the monument of Michelangelo on the heights above Florence. We finished the trip, the scenery was decidedly interesting, but I did not get to the 'Palley Petey.'"

[graphic]

Under the head "The Necessary Hyphen" a contributor to "The Writer" says that many newspapers make their headlines unintelligible by omitting the hyphen. "THE PANGERMAN PLOT UNMASKED," he says, looked like a man's name so far as its second word was concerned until it was realized that it meant Pan-German. Another instance quoted is, "BRIDE TO BE KILLED BY MOTOR CYCLE." Here "bride-to-be" was meant.

Another omission that confuses the reader is the lack of a space between two words. A sign in a leather shop in New York reads: LEATHER FOR ALLUSES, FINDINGS, ETC. The passer-by at first may conclude that a g has been left out and that "galluses" is meant; then he may consider that he is not up with the dictionary and fancy that "allus" is some new device. Finally it dawns on him that ALL USES is meant.

Speaking of newspaper headlines, an amusing mistake occurred in the New York "Times" of August 19. Senator Jones, of Washington, was reported as saying of President Harding's address, "The Government can take no other attitude." A subhead above the paragraph read: "CAN'T FAKE NO OTHER ATTITUDE." A later edition corrected the aspersion on the Government to this innocuous rendering: "Can Take No Other Attitude."

British notions of propriety on the bathing beaches are more rigid than ours, as may be seen from the following extract from an English paper:

The authorities at Brighton seem determined to play the rôle of Mrs. Grundy, for they summoned three lady visitors for not entering the sea from machines. The ladies wore long cloaks over their bathing costumes, and there was not the faintest suspicion of impropriety. The Bench rightly turned the matter into a farce, and ordered the girls to pay ninepence each as costs. A very discreditable prosecution!

A man who had the misfortune to have bow legs was advised by a friend, according to the London "Morning Post." to repeat the Coué self-hypnotizing formula every night thirty times: "Every day and in every way my legs are getting straighter and straighter." Unfortunately, he miscalculated the number and repeated the magic words sixty times every night. As a result he is now knock-kneed!

The Professor (as quoted by the Boston "Globe")-"I noticed you were talking during my lecture this morning."

The secret is contained in the free book offered below. Until you have read it you have no idea how much 15 minutes a day can mean in growth and success. Send for your copy now.

WERE are two men, equally good looking, equally well dressed. You see such men in every social gathering One of them can talk of nothing beyond the mere day's news. The other brings to every subject a wealth of side light and illustration that makes him listened to eagerly.

He talks like a man who has traveled widely, though his only travels are a business man's trips. He knows something of history and biography, of the work of great scientists, and the writings of philosophers, poets, and dramatists.

Yet he is busy, as all men are, in the affairs of every day. How has he found time to acquire so rich a mental background? When there is such a multitude of books to read, how can any man be well-read?

The answer to this man's success-and to the success of thousands of men and women like him-is contained in a free book that you may have for the asking. In it is told the story of Dr. Eliot's great discovery, which, as one man expressed it, "does for reading what the invention of the telegraph did for communication." From his lifetime of reading, study, and teaching, forty years of it as President of Harvard University, Dr. Eliot tells just what few books he chose for the most famous. library in the world; why he chose them and how he has arranged them with notes and reading
