Governor Coming
Governor John Trumbull is com-
lng to Neruull', on the evening of
' “‘r-dncsduy. March 1‘, to attend a.
charity function. sponsored by the
local Amtricrin Legion.
The Norvvrilk Republican “'omcn's
association is to cntcrtain the Gov-
lernor and his party during their
stay in this city. There will be .1
. dinner given in his honor at the
' Royal James.
This is Norwallt's first opportu~
‘ iiity to mevt the new Governor and
we are certain that his stay here
will be made thoroughly enjoyable.
A warrr. welcome on the part of a.
large and representative group of
' citizens will impress upon Governor
Trumbull the claim. now so often
made. that Norwalk has shaken off
its old-time lethargy and is develop-
. ing into one of Connecticut's fastest
growing and most prosperous cities.

Dinner Stories
A visitor who was stopping at a
hotel was much disturbed by the
snoring of one of his friends sleep-
ing in an adjoining room. Sud-
dcnly the snoring ceased. and the
death-like stillness oppressed the
listener. He thought something
had happened to his friend. He
therefore went into his room and
found the friend sitting up in bed.
The friend said: “I was sleeping
with my mouth open, and I think I
have swallowed a mouse."
The hotel doctor was sent for.
who adopted the novel expedient of
calling in the services of the hotel
cat. and aced a piece of touted
cheese so e little distance from the
invalid's mouth. the theory being
that themouse. smelling the cheese.
would come out to eat it. and would
thereupon fall a prey to the cat.
While the remedy was working. the
doctor went downstairs to have a
drink. The patient's mind being to-
lieved. he fell asleep and resumed
his snoring. -
When the doctor returned he
missed the cat. He said: ”Great
guns! He's swallowed the cat."
0 O O
A public dispensary patient we
placed on a strict and scant dicta
on which she did not improve as
was expected. The doctor sent a.
social worker out to investigate.
The patient admitted that she
was much worse. but protested. . al-
most tearfuJIY. that she had eaten
everything as the doctor had or.
dered.
“What else did You eat?" asked
the inspired social worker.
:‘Nothing except ' my
meals." said the truthful. patient.

He glanced shrewdly at Michal-l,
then shifted to another sulxlcct.
"Wonder if Elaine Alloway will
let me take her to a few shows?"
"Oh. yes." Michael did not want
even his friend to know of his close
friendship with Eliiliic. lie was
afraid—.
"Say. Lon." he said. "if you see
her. and she asks about me. don‘t
tell her I'm engaged to Lilah?"
He met Lonnic‘s glance ewnly.
Alonzo registered at Micliat-l's ho-
tel. but nelthcr saw much of the
other in the next few days. Michael
was unusually active at the ofilce.
and Alonso appeared to be using his
room only as a parking place for his
traveling-bag.
Then. one morning shortly before
noon. Lonnie appeared at Michael's
office.
"Friend of your‘s out here.. he
smiled. poking his head in the door
of his friend's private enclosure.
“Who is it?"
"Elaine."

Like the railroads. the public util-
ities companies supply an abund-
ance of information all of which
should be carefully studied by pros—
pectlve investors. Many of these
companies make monthly earning-s
statements; practically all of them
lglve out quarterly reports. As print-
led in the newspapers these state-
ments compare gross and net earn-
ings of the current year with those
of the preceding year. and it is easy
to see in which way the tide is run-
ning.
For the more important of these
corporations. financial pages of the
newspapers publish not only
earnings but the amount available
per share of stock. Such a calcula-
tion. however. is easily made for one-
self provided one knows the amount
of stock outstanding and the re-
quirementa of the respective classes.
as well as the deduction for fixed
charges. The statement usually
the charges. that is to say. the bond
interest and other.eesential deduc-
tions. Any company which does not
publish full and frank reports at
stated intervals should be avoided
as far as investment is concerned.
There is no need of going ahead in
the dark.
It is the policy of publicity which
has made possible the customer ovvn- l
ersliip campaigns that have proved.
so successful in popularizing public
utility securities. In this respect
railroads and utilities are much eas-
ier to follow than the majority of in-
dustriale. although there are excep-
tions in the latter class. The point
to be made here is that the conser-
vative investor will select a stock or
a bond from among the obligations
of corporations which give security
holders the fullest information about
their affairs. Even if you do not
care to follow these matters your-
self it is still advisable to take this
course. You know that when you
do want the information it can be
obtained. lost investors. however.
take enough interest to look forward
to these earnings statement: and to
atudy their trend.
As a matter of fact the business of
the public utilities is remarkably
stable. The demand for their serv-
ice is uniform. They do‘ not have
large sums tied up in inventories as
do industrial corporations. They do
not give credit to their customers.
The bill for the electric light or the
gas or the telephone is collected
every month. ”This is sometimes an-
noying to the consumer but it works
to the advantage of the investor.

In your edition of Monday.

chiefly on getting correct’ informa-

In your article it is stated that Dr.

that certain questions In regard to
cancer shouid be submitted to the
