BILL *5
Winter is approaching and the
children's school expense will be
higher this year than last. Bill
looks forward to less income in
the regular way. Many industries
have shifted to the “zigzag" plan
for their employees in an effort
to help everyone thru the winter.
This means that each employee
will have about half as much in
come. Prices of clothing and food
have come down some, but not in
keeping with the “zigzag" income.
There will be just as much coal to
buy and rent to pay. Bill must
buy and rent to pay. Bill must
have more money than he can
expect from his usual sources.
He has some money in the sav
ings bank drawing 3 per cent in
terest. While it is true that money
was put there for a “rainy day"
it isn’t bringing him any income
worth mentioning; and $20 or $40
or even $100 of that wouldn’t go
very far on a “rainy day." He
needs more money coming in.
Bill Jones is the average Amer
ican. He knows that many a man
in exactly his financial condition
has invested part of his money
and has made enough return to
give him the added income he
needed. But Bill knows there is
some speculation with every in
vestment, no matter what it is or
how good it sounds.
He doesn’t know whether he
should take any chances on either
his savings account or his present
income. Of course his savings ac
count is not absolutely safe; he
realizes more money has been lost j
by depositors thru bank failures!
during the last 10 years than i
thru any single line of investment,
other than the stock market crash |
in 1929. Being a true American j
and realizing that “nothing risked,
nothing gained,” he likes to take
a chance. Bill is a cautious fel
low and wants to speculate, but j
he doesn’t want to lose his money.
So he tosses aside all the “wild
eyed" promises and impractical
guarantees that flood the mails
and seeks out a chance to specu
late with the safety of a flowing
oil well to fall back on if the
well he bets on turns out to be
dry. If the new well comes in
big, Bill should make a profit
of 10 times his investment. If
he doesn’t he still has his money
where it should pay him dividends,
over a period of years, twenty
times larger than the savings
bank interest. And he has the
speculative chance of making a
real fortune if the new well comes
in good. He wants to speculate
with his “fingers crossed, ’ as it
were, and that is exactly what
he does when he accepts our spe- ;
cial Pool offer, and shares in one i
gusher while we drill for another.;
Write us for full information,!
but better still—mail us $20, $100,:
or even $200, and share in our;
next dividend. If you are like
Bill Jones, we might help you.

BATON ROUGE, La., Oct. 21. (/P)
—The classic old Pentagon build
ings of the Louisiana Slate Uni
versity over which flags of five na
tions have flown are to enter a new
era of usefulness.
The massive colonnaded struc
tures, apparently as sturdy as when
they were constructed more than
100 years ago, are being transform
ed into modern apartment dwell
ings.
The apartments will be rented by
the university, which will be moved
to a new plant south of Baton
Rouge and will no longer need the
property for housing students.
Garages and janitors will be pro
vided as well as other modernities
that may disturb the historic
ghosts of French, Spanish, English,
confederate and United States Fed
eral government tenures of occu
I pation.

BLRMEG ON LANDING GEAR
WASHINGTON, Oct. 2Z, (/P) —,
Analysis of structural failures as
the cause of aircraft accidents j
curing the last six months of 1930 j
has disclosed that greater atten-j
tion should be paid the landing
gear by designers and engineers,
the Aeronautic Branch, Depart
ment of Commerce, announced in
making public results of the first
such study ever undertaken.
All but 10 of the 44 structural
failures, a total of 77-2 percent, j
during the period studied, were I
attributed to landing gears, the;
Branch said, and “it is obvious
that this particular unit deserves
more careful consideration than
than has been given it.”
Only five cases of wing-struc
tural failure, representing 9.1 per
cent or the second largest item
listed in the causes of structural j
failure accidents, were discovered,
the report brought out. There
were two failures of hulls or floats
and one failure each of control
system, engine mount, and pro
pellers during the period under
examination, it was explained.
