R?l ? ? -ithe A? York' Westchester A
New YnSf MBd ?einB ?eParated 'rom the
wew-iork. New Haven & Hartford, bo that
the guarantee of the latter road to pay the
Principal and interest on the first mortage

eerniV*-.-16 ? Lut'derstand the road is not
a??,,nCi, f?C! c!,BrKes- Would you con
V. W a fair "Peculation 7~E.
Answer?We do not think it probable
that the New York, Westchester &
Boston Railroad will be separated from
the New Haven in the near future. The
latter road has always had to meet in?
terest charges, and in some years more
than that, for, during many yearB,
the Westchester company did not
earn operating expenses. The road
cost too much money to be profitable.
If the New Haven guarantee is not
carried out we imagine the road would
have b hard time of it.
Tonopah Divide
Question?I have some shares of Tonopah
Divide at ?round $4, which up to the present
has declared no dividends, while Tonopah
Belmont and Tonopah Mining are both still
quoted at about $2.50, or $1.50 lower than
the Tonopah Divide, in spite of the fact
that those two companies have made their
dividends and also have approximately an
equivalent amount of capital stock at same
shore value of $1. Kindly enlighten me
what is the reason of high value of the Dl.
vide compare?! with the other two and also
inform me regarding the possibility of divi?
dends -?in the near future, as well as the
prospect for the Tonopah Divide.?-T. H.
Answer?Both Tonopah Belmont and
Tonopah Mining are producing prop?
erties paying dividends out of current
earnings, which also furnish a basis
for quotations of shares in those Re?
spective companies. Tonopah Divide is
selling at a high price because the com?
pany is said to have ore in sight to
the estimated value of $9,000,000. Until
the middle of last November the com?
pany for several months liad been un?
able to operate on account of labor
troubles. ?It did not therefore have
any earnings out of which to pay divi?
dends. No report on earnings since
the resumption of active work in the ?
mines has been made public a? yet.
Philip Morris
Question?Will you please advi.se me as to i
what you think of the future of Philip Mor- !
ris on the curb ? I have 200 shares and am j
anxious, because I have had them since laat !
June.-?W. A. B.
Answer?It is difficult to express an ?
opinion on securities where the com- i
panies do not issue reports of earnings.
Philip Morris has a capital of $2,000,
000, The old company earned an aver- '
age of $200,000 annually for the seven ;
years preceding the passing of controlj
to the Tobacco Products Company, and |
in 1918 earned $271,000 before Federal ;
taxes. The stock appears to offer spec- i
ulative possibilities, but it should not, ;
in our opinion, bo regarded as an in- ?
vestment security.
Lightning Rim Corporation
Question?Will you kindly give me what
data you can on Lightning Rim Corpora- ,
tionT Is it n good stock to invest in for a
man of moderate means??C. J. D.
Answer?This stock is not an invest- !
ment at all. It is being sold on the ?
prospect that the demand for a rim to !
which an automobile tire can be at- j
tached with considerable rapidity will !
become f<o large as to enable the com- |
pany to pay dividends on $2,500,000 of i
capital stocli, being sold at $10 a share, i
its par value. The company is said to !
, have made arrangements with the |
', Frankfort Machine Company, of Phila- |
I delphia, for the manufacture of the j
? rim?, and is also offering state rights i
; for the distribution of the product.

'? me the value of Ohio Cities Gas, Colorado !
I Fuel and Iron. Inspiration Copper and Union '
i Pacific on January 2, 1919, and also give
' the addressee of the treasurers of the above |
. companies?--H. J. T.
Answer ? On January 2, 1915?, the
' high and low prices of tho stocks you
mention were as follows: Ohio Cities
Gb?, high 44%, low 4:i%; Colorado
Fuel high 37. low 36%; Inspiration

A Merc Speculation
Question?Can you give me any informa?
tion on the following companies: Alaska
British Columbia Metals Company, which
has for several years risen to 5- :? ?hare,
only to fall hack again Y Can you tell me
whyT This is a Curb slock Butte Copper
and 7Ar\r. T own 5,000 share? of the former
and 300 of tho latter. Naturally, I am
deeply interested.-T. M.
Answer ?- Alaska-British Columbia
Met?is sold at $2 a share when specula?
tion was rife, and the public was eager
? to buy anything. We do not know any
other reason why it went up. Tho
stock is a mere speculation. If the
market becomes actively bullish maybe
it will start up again. Butte Copper
and Zinc has been affected by the de?
pressed condition of the copper trade.
The company is said to be in a good
cush position, and if copper shows a
tendency to rise appreciably this stock
should benefit.

Fortune Well Invested
Question?Have five $100 Liberty bonds,
bought as they came along I the extent of my
fortune). Would you advise selling the first
bond 3Vi Per cent for one of higher inter?
est 7 Could the five bond? be converted into
one bond of some kind that would bring in
a HtUe morel?E. T. W.
Answer?Liberty 3% per centr bonds
may no longer be converted. As long
as your income is euch that the tax
exempt 3M> per cent bonds are of no
particular benefit to you, it would ap?
pear profitable if you Bold them and
purchased one of the later issues. You
would do well to keep your United
States government bonds. There is
nothing better.

Sharp Rally in
Curb Oils After
Early Weakness j
-
Strength of Phillips Petro-I
leum, Following the An-I
nouncement of 100%
Stock Dividend, a Feature
The selling movement in the oils on
the Curb appeared to have spent its
force yesterday. At any rate, after
early weakness, recoveries set in in
the case of several of the issues which
have been under greatest pressure this
week.
Simms Petroleum, after breaking to j
48, rallied to a fraction above 51, while I
Gilliland Oil dropped to 43, but closed j
at 48. White Oil was off a point at 37.
There was heavy trading in all of these j
issues, but selling orders were pretty ;
well offset by a more active demand.;
Professionals were also more wary
about pounding these stocks by' reason
of the.extended decline, and when they
showed signs of coming back there was
considerable short covering.
Although there were transactions re?
corded in Imperial Oil, much interest
was manifested in the announcement
from Montreal of the offering of 20O -
000 shares (par value $25) of unissued
stock at $75 a share, in the proportion
of one share of the old for six. shares
of the new. This increased the capital
from $30,000,000 to $35,000,000. This
company is controlled by Standard Oil
interests'.
Phillips Petroleum was strong around
85, on the announcement of a 100 per
cent stock dividend. Tho company is
increasing its capitalization from 255,
000 shares of no par value to 1,000,000
shares and issuing 255,000 shares of
the new stock, which will be distrib?
uted to the present stockholders share
for share.
Industrial stocks on the Curb did not
do much, mainly about holding their j
own on fairly active trading.

Shoe Men in Committee
To Hunt Down Profiteers
Vigilance Board Will Be Offered
to Government to Stop
Price Raising
BOSTON, Jan, 15.?A vigilance com?
mittee, national in scope, to police the
retail shoe business as an aid to the
Department of Justice in running down
profiteers, will be offered to the gov?
ernment by the National Shoe Retail?
ers' Association, it was voted to-day.
The shoe, men, at the last session of
their annual convention, approved
unanimously the proposal of its reso?
lutions committee that it show in this
manner "a spirit of cooperation in?
stead ?f fight" in the government's ef?
forts to reduce the cost of shoes and
other commodities.
Chairman H. A. Rosenbach of the
committee, told the convention that
there had been requests from some
persons that the association "go on
record as being prepared to fight the
government because they wanted to
reduce costs," but their number was
small.
The plan proposed is to organize a
vigilance committee, with one man in
every state, preferably associated as
closely as possible with, or a member
of the various price fixing or fair price
committee, who will operate as the
vigilance officer of that state and who
will appoint, under him representative
shoo men throughout the state. Any
case of profiteering that may come to
notice will be directed to that vigi?
lance ottficer, and the National Shoe
i Retailers' Association of America will
j seek to "stamp out the man who prof
? iteers."

SO CLOSED
THE PAST YEAR
Sixth of a stries of Messages on the pre?
paredness of Albert Frank & Co. to meet the new
advertising demands of Finance and Business.
N RETROSPECT, each month of
1919 presents a period of unusual
advance in the rapid progress of
this Agency. Many new advertisers
entrusted us with their first
appropriations; most of our old
clients reached positions where in*
creased appropriations were confidently approved.
And the year's close showed a volume of business
more than double that of 1918.
Realizing the added responsibility this increased
business carried, we made many important additions
to our Service Staff.
We now welcome the opportunity of explaining
the thoroughness, the helpfulness, the practical
every ?day value of Selling Plans that embody much
more than intelligent advertising recommendations.
A conference without obligation may be arranged
anywhere to suit your convenience.
