The Shannons, in singing and dancing, will put on their topliner specialty act, and Plunket nd Romaine, "Two Boston Beans," the feature act of the company, have a new and swingy musical and danc ing hit -that-will please all. Their acts approach nearest, in harmony and swing, to the real musical comedy article as seen with the big shows of any seen here recently.

Short-margined ac counts force both broker and trader to assume unnecessary risks. To an inquiry from a correspondent as to the usual margin required, this department must reply, therefore, that the amount depends upon the nature of the stock which' is being traded in, its activity and price position and the condition of the general market. And ness, and in all probability the young lady you now admire, who has been accustomed to so many luxuries and servants, will find someone better suit ed financially to her requirements, and you some one better equipped for your martial needs by the time you are in a position to marry. ii -yr V - ii :JmmiBk ' (L Requires & ' a Ul less lard 4r J The Corbett Co.

But when a broker sells out a short margined account, he as well as his customer, is a loser. The customer loses bis margin; the broker loses the account. Furthermore, the broker has had to make use of his credit1 facil ities to carry or hold stocks for the benefit of his customer so long as the margin is kept good, or until notice is given by either party that the trans action must be closed. Persons of small means are Inclined to view margin trading as opening the way for them to speculation in stocks. No doubt they can speculate, but it is a fairly general rule that, margin trading Is the method of 'successful speculation for the rich man rather than for the man with slender capital. For there must always be capital in hand which can be utilized for re plenishing a dwindling margin. The inexperienced investor or spec ulator who would like to obtain a 'clear view of the meaning of a spec ulative transaction and of the rela tions between broker and customer would do well to inquire in a public li- a or oarary or in me omce oi a lawyer friend for the case of Markham versus Jaudon, known as "41 New York 235 259".

How will war between the United States and Germany affect them? J. R. S. The export business of the United States leaving out of consideration the shipment of munitions and food sup plies to the belligerent nations of Bu rope, is larger than ever before in our .history, and American goods have ob tained a foothold in South American, African and Asiatic markets, which German and English goods held prior to the beginning of hostilities. Un I doubtedly a large part of this increased foreign trade will be held by America after the war, so that the outlook for jthe export business as a whole is ex cellent. Shares in established export I concerns are difficult to obtain, but jmany new opportunities are constantly j being offered in this line. The only probable immediate effect of war be tween the United States and Germany will be a still further reduction in the I number of ships available in the for eign carrying trade with a dinner at his home in this city , trench near Fort Douaumont; German starLs todai - on eacn may uay. rne nineteenth assaults near Ypres and Albert broke I Th, s . , , anniversary of the victory is to be cel-ldown unrler RHHsh firP- Ttaiinn r. i in Ql-W cnj w'n whrto li,, under-;ebrated with a dinner tonight at the , ried mountain Peaks and nassea aftpr I ownership of tutoinobil-s. laimrv. two days' battle in glaciers. j motorcycles, cattl and oth.-,- Sl0ci a j firearms and will cdIIoh a m A back yard -quab farm netted am?unt Idata f,or industrial $3,000 last year for Mrs. Gactyl Hage- Zd ,on; 1,0".a. :' 01 woni"n dorn, of Cincinnati. voiuniecreu me.r sorvuvs for i p pr m worir nr inn crinsni stand that if the stock goes up the home of Captain Joseph P.

How do you regard shipbuilding stocks as a speculation at this par ticular time, and why? W. P. F. Shares in ship-building concerns of fer probably the greatest certainty of large profits of any speculative invest ment now available. It is calculated by experts that even were war to cease tomorrow, it would take five years for the combined ship-building plants of the world to replace the tonnage al ' ready sunk, while the demand for ships is greater than ever before, and will probably increase, even when ,the interned .German merchant marine is released for competition. Companies like Win. Cramp & Sons, the United States Steamship Co., the New York Ship-building Corporation, and the Am erican Ship Building Co.., are crowded to their capacity with orders, and many of the smaller ship-building com-j panies offer opportunities for profitable; investment. Would you recommend the invest ment of a few hundred dollars in Green Monster Mining stock? S. P. No. What is the Canadian Natural Gas paying in dividends? N. W. It has never paid a dividend on its stock. My father left me an estate consist ing, mostly of Iowa farm lands, which pay me about 7 per cent.
