enough to warrant the purchase.
Steam and electric roads since their
introduction in this country, are in a
great measure responsible for the
many crippled persons seen here; yet
even among people that could afford
the cost of an artificial limb, there
are proportionately very few who
make use of one.
"The principal factor to be borne in
mind is always the cost to the pur
chaser. While the well-to-do would
not hesitate in paying from $100 up
wards for an artificial limb, there are
those not so fortunate who would
gladly avail themselves of the oppor
tunity of providing themselves with

Bills of Lading
AMERICAN BANKERS MAKE CON
CESSIONS AND WILL CREATE A
GUARANTY COMPANY WHICH
WILL HAVE ADEQUATE CAPITAL
By Associated Press.
New York, Oct. 13. The Americcn
and European bankers interested in
the cotton bills of lading controversy
decided today that the only possible
solution was the creation of a guar
antee company with adequate capital
to guarantee the validity of bills of
lading at as moderate a cost as six to
seven cents a bale.
The plan of forming a "guaranty
company" i3 generally regarded as a
decided concession on the part of the
Americans to the Europeans. The
Americans are not especially optim- j
istic concerning the outcome, and j
some are disposed to question the !
practicability of the plan which has I
been recommended. The only official
statement following the conference
of the European representative and
New York bankers was that they had
come to the conclusion to create a
guaranty company as the only solu
tion. The company must have ade
quate capital to guarantee the validi
ty of bills of lading and to safeguard
against forgery at a moderate" cost
of six to seven cents a bale. "We be
lieve," they said, -'that its guarantee
will be acceptable to exchange buy
ers here and will be made to the form
required by the European acceptors."

yesterday from Mr. J. Ed. Williams,
