Economist Predicts a
Business Upset at
That Time

New York. Feb. 10.-Another panic
is to be expected in the Uniteed States
In 1912. according to Roger w Bah
son, the economist. He draws this
conclusion, he says. from study and
observation of the financial history of
The last century. About one-quarter OF
the present period of prosperity has
gone. he says. but the top Of the up
ward movement has not yet been
reached.
His figures show that the high point
of stock exchange prices usually
comes after about one-third to one
half OF the prosperous years which
have been enjoyed.
Speaking before the West Side Y NJ

who WAS determined to play the mar
kct and desired to do so as safely as
possible, should purchase on r 1ener-
ous margin ten Of the leading stocks.
When they were high he should sell
and put his money In the bank. When
stocks were low he could buy again.
In this way" said the speaker. You
would not be buying and selling a spe-
cific stock, but In reality selling your
money when money was In demand.
