It is a good sign when a security is widely held by a large number of people that it is intrinsically a good security. Consider then the fifty thousand people who hold Bollings securities.

Boy Puts Dad’s Bonded Goods In His Lemonade A gentleman reader sends us the ■ following story with the suggestion ’ that our readers will have a two-fold 1 interest in it, first, as an example of 1 something new in distribution, and ' second, n distinct service of more personal application, particularly to those who have children. Here it is: ’ "A certain business man, promin- . ent in chamber of commerce circles, • laid in a supply of bonded goods be- '■ fore Volsteadisin became effective, ■ and has jealously guarded it against I all comers ever since. Last week, his son, aged nine, purchased a halfinterest in n lemonade stand, located at a busy owner. Business was rotten, and the youngster, casting about for away to stimulate trade, remembered th'at he had often seen his father put something from a bottle into lemonade. “ 'He seemed to like it better,’ he I told his frends later, and so that his investment might turn over more I rapidly, the young captain of IndusI try entered the collar, obtained a bottle, and emptied it into the jar of lemonade. “Soon along came a thirsty truck driver. ‘How much is your lemonade, 1 kids?’ he queried. *A penny a glass’, was the answer. The driver bought, tasted, looked narrowly at the youngsters, tasted again, smelled, and then swallowed in huge gulps. ‘Give me another —give me two more—give me a nickel's worth,* he cried. “He bought a dime's worth before he left, and then spread the news along the street. Soon customers formed in line and before dusk clos1 ed the stand’s operations the youngI sters were richer by nearly slo—and (slow music) eleven bottles had been emptied into the lemonade supply." 1 —The Nation’s Business. o Very Unusual Winds Preceeded Chili Quake New Orleans, Dec. 19.—Very heavy I surfs, huge swells and unusual winds prevailed in some Chilean ports just ] prior to the disastrous earthquake and tidal wave recently, which cost hundreds of lives and destroyed millions | of dollars worth of property, according to Captain H. Lund, of the steamship Christianbourg, just arrived at this port from Iqueque with a cargo I of nitrate. According to Captain Lund, many ships anchored in the harbor of Ique--1 que were unable to take on cargo because of the upheaval of the seas. The [ Christianbourg was protected by a i point and was able to proceed with the work of taking on its cargo and managed to sail before the disaster. According to Captain Lund, the seas arouud Iqueque are normally very calm and the wind rarely ever shifts to the east. On this occasion, the captain said, the wind moved to the I east and held there, blowing at an J unusual velocity which added to the I difficulties of shipping in several barI bors. A feeling existed among seaI men in the port of Iqueque that something was going to happen because of the unusual behavior of the seas and the continuous east winds. Eastern Football Conference Is Hard Hit New York, Dec. 19. —Proposals for United Preus Staff Correspondent the organization of an eastern football conference are being again at the close of the most successful seasons in the history of the gridiron. While much of its old prestige has been dimmed by the rise of other smaller institutions to place of prominence in football, the “Big Three” still has enough power and influence to be looked ipon as a leader in the east. Without Yale, Harvard and Princeton. a conference could function in the east, but it could not occupy the place that the Western Conference does in the middle-west. Bob Fisher, the Harvard coach, speaking unofficially, has expressed a favorable opinion on the conference Mea. Bill Roper, the Princeton football mentor, says it is not necessary. Yale, without taking an attitude against the conference, says that Yale would be reluctant to join such an organization. However, at New Haven, ft is intimated that the new football agreement entered into by Y’ale, Harvard and Princeton may be the foundation of a confrence of some kind in the future. The big difficulty in organizing an eastern conerence would be in defining what constituted the eastern section. While there are ten members of the Western Conference, the territory represented is much smaller than the area generally regarded as the east. Pennsylvania, geographically, is not exactly east, but it is considered such from a football standpoint. Georgetown is ranked both in eastern and Southern circles and West Virginia is even regarded as an eastern team. Yale, Harvard; Princeton, Cornell,

Dartmouth, Pennsylvania, Columbia, Colgate, Penn State, Washington and Jefferson, Lafayette, Lehigh, Rutger, New York university Syracuse, Army, Navy, Carnegie tech. Boston College Fordham, Holy Cross, Brown Swartmore, and several othqr universities would bo eligible for membership. Try to pick ten out of that bunch and you’d have a nice little war on your hands over the ones oD'itted. There has also been some talk o’ a football “Landis” for the cast, but the coaches in general scoff tit the idea as being unnecessary. They point out that football is not a professional sport, that it. is not threatened by commercialism and that faculty hand are the best for its administration. Nothing seems to have been wrong with football this season. As long us there is rivalry between colleges there will be talk that So-and-So is having his expenses paid at Such-and-Sueli and as long as there are old grads there will be some players getting a helping hand, but it is not danerous enough to be a cause for alarm. Big universities like Harvard, Yale and Princeton, where the proceeds.of football foot the bills for till athletics. hardly will encourage the idea of a conference. They are big enough to select their own opponents and they are big enough to demand only good drawing cards. Will a conference idea prevailing, any of the big elevens would have to book two or three games a year with opponents that wouldn't draw a handful of spectators. That’s an item, too! ■ 0 Purdue Exhibits Model Os Proposed Stadium Layfayette, Dec. 19. —A miniature model of the complete plans for the Ross-Ade bowl and athletic field was displayed to enthusiastic students and alumni of Purdue University, Nov. 25, on the occasion of the annual Homecoming Day.

Great crowds were attracted to the Armory where the model of the proposed Purdue stadium was exhibited. The model was constructed to scale with common clay on a base of cement and revealed in detail the plans for tin- location of the stadium, i tennis courts, baseball diamond, I bleachers and drives. Trees were even represented with patches of 1 green. The land on which the site Os the bowl is situated was presented to the I'niversity hy the well known George Ade, n graduate of 1887, and David E. Ross, ’93, trustees und prominent member of the Purdue Alumni Association. The field was inspected by many old time students. They were taken to the site in trucks and i student guides explained the details] and answered all questions regarding the plans for the construction.] Their explanations combined with a picture of the field, as illustrated by the model, gave the interested spectators a fine idea of the transformation that will take place. The new athletic field is a tract of 65 acres two blocks north of the present athletic field. Win. 8. Vonßernuth, assistant to the] Dean of Engineering, conceived the j idea of making the model. His plans were worked out in detail by a student committee. G. M. Arnold, of Bluffton, a seuior in the School of Mechanical Engineering was head of the committee. The other students were V. B. | Brown, Indianapolis; H. Trumatf, of; Lafayette; and R. D. Woods, of Indianapolis; all Civil Engineers. Prof. 11. B. Trueblood of the Practical Mechanics Department made the model of the stadium, while the students I planned out the field. o + + * + + **+*** + * + + + .
