Answer.While the Third Avenue Railway ia showing better earnings than the other surfaco linea of Manhat¬ tan, we do not consider the stock at¬ tractive from nn investment standpoint, It pays no dividends. nor is it likely to do so for somo time to come. Profits in stocks aro rather pleasing these days, to say nothing of their being somewhat unusual.

B. !'. newspaper, and thereTore mal.es Its appeal especially to sorvlco and ox-servlce men, I would greallv appreclato anything you mny Mo lo onllghten mo m this matter. .F n. V. Answer This company. as its advor- tisement clearly showB, is only in the prospectivo stage. The nromotera state they are drilling their first well on lensed land about two miles north ol' Desdemono, Tex.. and have purchased eighteen and one-half acrcs noar the town of Jnkel-.nrr.ion. where they pur¬ pose to install the first 3.000-baiTel unit of a reflnery, The president of the company is J. JM. Craven and the vico- presldent is Leonard Wood jr.. son of General Wood, whose name probably is as fnmiliar to the American household to-day as that of any other man in pub¬ lic life. Whether the company will bo successful in getting any production of oil remains to be scen. That's the chance you always take in buying shares of this kind. Even after they have reached the producing stnge most, oil companies, in our opinion, are surh speculative entcrprises that we advise strong'y against. tho purchase of their stocks for investment purnoses. Trusting to Friends' Judgment Question.1 have fflven a friend power of attorney lo huv and nell Rt..cl< for me FCIndlv tftll inc what kind of .. fee 1 should pay him for his seritices..Mrs. II. B. I.. Answer If you have enough con- fidence in your friend to give him power of attorney to buy and sell stocks for your account it seems to us that you two could easily agree upon the proper remuncration for his serv¬ ices, Why not a smail percentage of the profits, if there are nny? Bonds Suitable for a Woman Question."Will you plensn give. a list of iho flve industrial bonds nnd five railroad bonds lh.-ii you consider the best au-l saf- est investment for :\ woman? .T, V. V. Answer The following bonds are well secured and at present are. in our opinion, .suitable for your purposes: Chicago Union Station 6V2 per cent (new issue), Chesapeake & Ohio con¬ solidated 5 per cent. 1939; Atchison r.nnc*.,.l i .«,. »,..! 1QQK- Nnw VnvW in.ii, v.uiu .. uu . i. t\y in oi -i p- ^ v u . , I'nited States Rubber first and refund- ing B pei- cent; New York Telephone 4"-2 per cent; Montana Power first !"i per cent. All of these issues are first mortgages the Xew Vork Central bonds being secured by a new equip- ment recently purchased). They en- joy a good market nnd the average yield is well over 6 prl" cent. Picks Out Three Live Performers Question- I am thlnking of investing $2,000 In Baldwln common, Royal Putch and United States Industrinl Alcohol. Your advire In this matter will bo appre- ciated.- -J. C. I. Answer.If you purchase Baldwin Locomotive, Royal Dutch ar.d United States Alcohol you are not investing. You are speculating. And. what is tnoi'-j, you are choosing about as speculative issues as there are lis.ted on the New York Stock Exchange. Detroit United Bonds Question.Will you kindly give m our advice on the purchase of Detroit L'nited bonda, 4'as. 1832, and their yield on to- day'a buy ?- -j. I'. C. Answer- The Detroit United 4!2 per cent bonds yield approximately 9.60 per cent to maturity in January, 19:12. The company has had considerable difli- culty with the city. On April .". the voters decided in favor of bonding the 'city for $15,000,000 to begin the con- strucfion of a municipally owned street railway to compete with the Detroit United. We are informed that the Buffalo authorities will possibly take over certain of the company's mileage within the city limits also. Details are not available. At any rate, the situa tion is so uncertain that even the first mortgage bonds are speculative, in our opinion. Safety Her First Thought Question.As I am a widow dependlng on the income I get and as this has been matorlally lessened by ihe war, wlsh to inquire ivhat would bo Ihe safest and most proiltabh- security to invest In. have about $12,500 to i>ut In good paying bonds or Stocks, but fp'-i 1 canno afford to risk an-- loss. Would you advise puttlng about $0,000 in T.lberty bonds and of what Isaue? Alan whal other investments would j ou reeommend? r would naturall) like to hav my income Increased as much as possible by having a larger per cent -Mrs. A. C, Answer You probably realize that while high interest returns on invest- ments are very dosirable, it frequently happens that the principal is jcop- ardized in endeavoring to procure it. We are passing through a critical ¦period in our hiatory, If you knw that your investments were sound per- haps that kno.vledge would more than mnke up for the increased return you might obtain by investing in securities of less stabilitjk Your suggestion 10 place 55,000 of ybur funds in Liberty bonds is a wise one in our opinion. If Liberty bonds are not safe. tve know of nothing else that could be so re- garded. They are selling, too, at prac- tically tho lowest price. The second 41! per cent or the tourth 4'i per cent are probably best for your purposes. With the remainder of your fund* you could invest in the following: Atchison general 4 per cent, 19lJJ; Chesapeake &. Ohio consolidated 6 per cent, 1939; \ew York Central 3-g per cent, 1997; United States Rubber first 5 per cent. Indiana Steel first 6 per cent or "Mon- tana Power first 5 per cent. All of these issues are secured by first mort- gage and are selling at the Iowest prices in many years. Baldwin Locomotive Bonds Question.Kindly g'.v« your opinion of Baldwin T.oeomotIve bonds ..1 H. C Answer.Baldwin Locomotive Works first sinking fund 5 per cent bonds, due May 1, 1940, are secured by first lien on the property of the compar.y and by deposit of all the capital stock of the Standard Steel Works Company. We regard the bond as a very good invest- ment.

Prices ad-' vanced several points with the display of strenrrth. but rcactions later wiped out much of the early gains. On the whole, however, the tone was better than on the preceding day, and prices at the close were generally bet- tc* than .Monday. This was particu¬ larly true of industrials, which showed a tendency to hold their gains against the selling pressure. and net advances of better than a point were common, General Asphalt was up nearly a point, although it failed to reach 70 in the upward movement. Case Plow pnined a point. and Cuban-American Sugar was up to oo from the previous close of 62. licrculcs Paper rebounded sharply from Monday's low mark, but failed to hold all of the advance.

The company says it has 119 producing wells in the South¬ west from which 190,244 barrels net were produced. The upward move in White Oil wa; pronounced nnd not unexpectod as the result of active covering by shorts fol- lowinrr the shnrp decline Monday. This stock touched 27 nnd then eased off to 23Vt, a net advartce of 2%. Simms moved in narrow fluctuations, closing off 'i. Salt Creek was up 1. while Phillips gained 2Vi. Producers and Refiners moved up fractionally. Mining shares were more active, with a fairly steady tone. Boston and Mon- tana eased off, however, and Nipissing failed to regain any strength.

Thus in 1801 wc scc Captain Richard Randall, whose legacy to Sailors' Snug Harbor is now worth milluxns, leaving as one of his choicest possessions fifty shares of Manhattan Bank stock. - Promincnt in thc early councils of thc Manhattan Btink were such famous ship owners as Gilbert and John Aspinwall, whose imports from Russia alonc reached thc then considerable total of $100,000 a year. Thc Aspinwalls traded dircct with St. Petcrsburg in their own vessels, and made heavy exports of American goods to their foreign representatives. - Henry A. and John G. Coster, leading Directors of the Bank, owned a fleet of sailing vessels and carried on a flourishing trade with Holland, the East and thc West Indies. - Among the founders of the Merchants' Bank (now mergedintothegreat Bank of the Manhattan Company) was Prescrved Fish who, in partnership with Joseph Grinnell, established in 18 15 one of the first packet lines to Liverpool.

Whether the company will bosuccessful in getting any production ofoil remains to be scen. That's thechance you always take in buyingshares of this kind.

Detroit United BondsQuestion.Will you kindly give m our

advice on the purchase of Detroit L'nitedbonda, 4'as. 1832, and their yield on to-day'a buy ?- -j. I'. C.Answer- The Detroit United 4!2 per

cent bonds yield approximately 9.60per cent to maturity in January, 19:12.The company has had considerable difli-culty with the city. On April .". thevoters decided in favor of bonding the

'city for $15,000,000 to begin the con-strucfion of a municipally owned streetrailway to compete with the DetroitUnited. We are informed that theBuffalo authorities will possibly takeover certain of the company's mileagewithin the city limits also. Details arenot available. At any rate, the situation is so uncertain that even the firstmortgage bonds are speculative, in ouropinion.

on the income I get and as this has beenmatorlally lessened by ihe war, wlsh toinquire ivhat would bo Ihe safest and mostproiltabh- security to invest In. haveabout $12,500 to i>ut In good paying bondsor Stocks, but fp'-i 1 canno afford to riskan-- loss. Would you advise puttlng about$0,000 in T.lberty bonds and of what Isaue?Alan whal other investments would j oureeommend? r would naturall) like tohav my income Increased as much aspossible by having a larger per cent -Mrs.A. C,Answer You probably realize that

while high interest returns on invest-ments are very dosirable, it frequentlyhappens that the principal is jcop-ardized in endeavoring to procure it.We are passing through a critical

¦period in our hiatory, If you knwthat your investments were sound per-haps that kno.vledge would more thanmnke up for the increased return youmight obtain by investing in securitiesof less stabilitjk Your suggestion 10

place 55,000 of ybur funds in Libertybonds is a wise one in our opinion.If Liberty bonds are not safe. tve knowof nothing else that could be so re-garded. They are selling, too, at prac-tically tho lowest price. The second41! per cent or the tourth 4'i per centare probably best for your purposes.With the remainder of your fund* youcould invest in the following: Atchisongeneral 4 per cent, 19lJJ; Chesapeake &.Ohio consolidated 6 per cent, 1939;\ew York Central 3-g per cent, 1997;United States Rubber first 5 per cent.Indiana Steel first 6 per cent or "Mon-tana Power first 5 per cent. All ofthese issues are secured by first mort-gage and are selling at the Iowestprices in many years.

Don't Say You Can't Afford It.We Know Better

You paid your Income Tax, didn'tyou ? Well, suppose your wife hadtried to get from you the amountof money the Government has ta¬ken from you, what would youhave said'/ In all probability youwould have said: "I can't affordit." But along comes the UnitedStates Government and orders youto pay an Income Tax, and youpay it, because you can do any¬thing you are told to do when youcan't do anything else. We can'tmake you buy Prudence-Bondg,but neither can you muke us be¬lieve that you can't buy them! Youcan buy them, you ought to buythem. and if you have any regardfor the future you will buy them.

Prudence-Bonds pay 6r. . Theyare guaranteed as to interest andprineipal. They ar«e backed byfirst mortgages on New York Cityreal estate of the finest kind. And .

they are sponsored by a Board ofDirectors whose judgment and in-tegrity are beyond reproach.
