Fperience in the field of first mortgage

IFTY-TWO years of continuous ex

investments; 52 years during which every cent of principal and interest has been paid promptly when due; 52 years without worry, delay or loss to any investor. That is the record of The F. H. Smith Company; that is the background of Smith Bonds.

Every Smith Bond is a First Mortgage Bond, strongly secured by improved, income-producing city property. Every bond is protected by the safeguards that have resulted in our record of no loss to any investor in 52 years. And current offerings of Smith Bonds pay 7%.

Moreover, since every Smith Bond is created by the same standards of safety and protected by the same system of safeguards, men and women who lack investment experience are enabled to invest with the same assurance as experienced investors.

SHIPS OF THE SEVEN SEAS. By Hawthorne Daniel. With an Introduction by Franklin D. Roosevelt. Drawings by Francis J. Rigney. Doubleday, Page & Co., New York. $4.

An illustrated history of the development of ships; of sailing vessels and steamships; of war-ships; of the science. of navigation; of lighthouses, lightships, and buoys; and of ship construction. A popular book about almost everything connected with navigation, ending with a glossary of nautical phrases.

THE LONDON TIMES UNDER THE MANAGERSHIP OF MOBERLY BELL: By F. Harcourt Kitchin. G. P. Putnam's Sons, New York. $4.50.

This is the story of the eighteen years' effort (1890-1908) of Moberly Bell to keep the London "Times" afloat without yielding one jot in respect of its traditional policies to the changing tastes of the times and the deadly competition of Fleet Street; an effort not without a sort of epic quality, which ended in the sale of the "Times" to Lord Northcliffe. Mr. Kitchin was associated with the "Times" in one capacity or another from 1895 to 1909, and his relations with Mr. Bell were intimate. Bell was a very striking personality, and Mr. Kitchin has given us a real "feel" of him, while recounting with liveliness and humor a highly interesting journalistic episode.

By the Way

E cut this poem from the "Conning Tower" of the New York "World." It is all historically correct, even to the swanskin cloak, and to the fact that the boy did live to be an old man and always related how he gave a drink to the famous English spy on his last ride. Many people may not remember that Major André tried to get to Tarrytown but got hanged instead: ANDRÉ PASSES

Along the sunlit Nepperhan,
That clear September day,

A rider drew his bridle-rein
And paused beside the way.
Two children at a farmhouse door
He hailed they quickly ran
To give him water from the well
Along the Nepperhan.

They brought him water from the well-
Small David held the rein
And wondered why that cavalier

Rode down that country lane;
Shy Sally watched the stranger drink
Before the farmhouse door,
And wondered why so close he wrapped
The swanskin cloak he wore.

He drank, and from the saddle leaned To hand a sixpence down

To Sally; then of David asked,
"How far to Tarrytown—
To Tarrytown how long the road?"
"Four miles," the lad replied.
"I did not think," the stranger said,
"It was so long a ride."

Ah, rider in the swanskin cloak,
If short or long the way,

You shall not come to Tarrytown
This fair September day.
But all their days these two shall tell
About the stranger-man

Who asked for water from the well
Beside the Nepperhan.

G. S. B.

From the Boston "Transcript:" Judge "So you claim you robbed the restaurant because you were starving. Why didn't you take something to eat instead of looting the cash register?" Prisoner-"I'm a proud man, yer honor, an' I makes it a rule to pay for what I eat."

"Sculpture is very easy, isn't it?" asked a sweet young lady at an exhibition of statuary.

"Very, very easy," said the sculptor, "and very, very simple. You just take a block of marble and a chisel, and knock off all the marble you don't want.”

The Government, it appears, is about to exclude the imported narcissus bulb. The narcissus, in its naughty European

fashion, is apt to corrupt our pure, native onion, and finally to exterminate it. Well, this seems a wise precaution-until the folk in the next apartment to ours begin to fry onions for dinner. Then we feel like crying to the European narcissus: Go to it, old scout!

From the "American Legion:"

The hero dragged 'the drowning girl to shore and, leaving her in willing hands, leaped back into the surging water.

"What!" cried some one on the shore. "Is there another one out there?"

"No," shouted the hero. "But I can't afford to marry."

The New York "Sun" reports a concern in England which breaks all records for length of time in business, having operated continuously for 817 years. It is the firm of Messrs. R. W. Farman, basket makers, which was founded in 1108, and has been handed down since then from father to son.

From "The Writer:"

Advertisers may like the make-up of the periodicals that make a practice of jumping the readers of their stories and articles over into the advertising pages, but imagine the feelings of an author, finding that his story reads:

Slowly, silently, she yielded to his fond embrace. The great red moon smiled down in approval. As he clasped her in his arms and pressed a kiss on her upturned lips, she softly murmured

"Promise me, dearest, that this shall surely be

From the "Square Deal:"

The phone rang in the office of the Ku Klux Klan. One of the various Kleagles answered.

"This is Finklestein talking," said the voice.

"You can't joint the Klan," replied the Kleagle.

"I don't vant to!"

"Well, what do you want?"

"But how are you fixed for vite goods?"

Another riddie:

Twice 9 are 8 of us
And 8 are five,

And five are four of us
As sure as you're alive.
And if you wish for more of us,
Why you can plainly see
That 3 are 5 of us,
And 6 are 3.

Would ride through the air on a very fine gander."

It sanctions too much freedom: "Wee Willie Winkie runs through the town,

Upstairs and downstairs in his nightgown."

It encourages theft-to say nothing of poor grammar:

"Tom, Tom, the piper's son, Stole a pig and away he run."

It doesn't tell the truth: "Uphill and down dale Butter is made in every vale."

It is disrespectful to old age, and thus encourages bad conduct: "Young lambs to sell! Young lambs to sell!

Hear the old man shout and yell!" It encourages actions which lead to poor health:

"Handy, Spandy, Jack-a-Dandy, Loves plum cakes and sugar candy."

From the "Square Deal:"

Professor: "I am going to speak on liars to-day. How many of you have read the twenty-fifth chapter of the text?"

Nearly every student raised his hand. Professor: "Good! You are the very group to whom I wish to speak. There is no twenty-fifth chapter."

"A big waste-basket is an important feature of a well-equipped editorial office," comments the editor of "The Writer, a Monthly Magazine for Literary Workers." "The good editor is known by what he prints, and quite as much or more by what he throws away." So, in her field, is a cook.

AMERICAN PROSPERITY is coming to depend more and more on our balance of foreign trade.

(Our foreign trade last year was over eight billions) AMERICAN MONEY is going more and more into foreign investments.

(Our foreign investments now total ten billions) AMERICAN ACTION is helping to settle post-war problems abroad.

(The Dawes Plan, for example) AMERICAN POLICY, reflecting all these (and many other) influences, is involved directly and constantly all around the world in ways which concern you as citizen and tax payer. FOR THESE REASONS America's leading men of affairs have united in establishing an impartial review of international relations and have made it the most influential and authoritative publication of its kind in the world.

of

For Example, in the Current Issue: Raymond Poincaré, War President France, answers American critics who have sought to make him share the responsibility for the World War. An historical contribution of the first importance-and extraordinarily interesting reading.

Archibald Cary Coolidge, of Harvard, appraises Germany's complaints and claims. James W. Angell, lecturer in Economics at Columbia, enquires into whether America can afford to collect the total Ally debts. Roberto Cantalupo, speaking officially for Mussolini, tells what Fascismo has done and what it still must do.

David Hunter Miller, in "Political Rights in the Arctic," asks whether the United States is to have "a frozen empire." His article is timely and breaks new ground. A Chinese Correspondent tells why China's demand for revision of unequal treaties is not anti-foreign or bolshevik in origin. Nicholas Roosevelt balances up the account of the Ruhr occupation. (Accompanied by some remarkable maps.)

James R. Finlay, leading mining engineer, tells the place of copper in the world's economy and gives some important statistics regarding the future supply. Half a dozen other authoritative articles, besides the usual allotment of historical notes, maps, bibliography of new books, index of treaties and trade agreements, etc.
