A Low Cost Producer

:, Question: want to buy some Cerro de
rasco Copper and Chesapeake 4 Ohio Rail-
way common stock. Which do you advise
me to buy? Are they both good investments
to hold? AS both pay 81 share year I
am undecided which to buy. or course if
buy, will hold for while Are they safe
10 % buy for cash and to hold7 Do you think
from now on "A. H. ..
,Answer-Both Cerro de Pasco and
Chesapeake & Ohio are more ar less less
speculative. The copper stocks gem
orally have been depressed on account
OF the condition of the trade. Cerro de
fasco. however, is low-cost producer
and earnings have been fair. Chesa-
peake Ohio should have no trouble
IN our opinion in maintaining it's pres
ent dividend rate. While We cannot
say that either stock is safe. We believe
they both offer speculative Investment
opportunities. We think Pennsylvania
will be able to earn its dividend under
the new legislation.

present time there are Indications that
many issues have seen their low prices.
Lor the present, at least. Livingston
Oil, like so many other Issues, Is highly
speculative, and until we can ascertain
"nat the company's operations are we

as much In the dark as yourself.

cation. / intended buying Douglas Shoes.
but got cold feet and want your advice.
Would like Z per cent. Can you tell me a
good man to take charge of the deal o
7. E. NJ.
Answer--Do not attempt to obtain too
high return on your investment. Ere
quently the principal is jeopardzed in
so doing. You state that the Sl.700
You possess is the result Of hard work.
You would be amazed at the speed with
which it could vanish if you did not
exercise care in choosing your invest
ment. 1t seems to us you would rest
easier If You knew that your funds had
been placed in prime securities, even
though the interest return was not as
large as you desire. We believe Lib
erty bonds are the investment for your
purpose. They are very low in price
and they return per cent. We do
not think You would have any cause for
worry IT you purchased them. Consult
any New York Stock Exchange firm
whose advertisement appears in The
Tribune. They will help you to decide.
Tell them frankly that this money
means great deal to you and that
you want security where principal is
or the greatest Importance. Liberty
DondS would be our advice

Fears for Livingston Oil

Question: have been reading your column
assiduously as Quaker of old must bave
read the Bible. and I have come to have
great confidence in what you say. It is with
this feeling that asking you for some
advice. Some time Ago-to be exact, around
last August bought 500 shares of Liv.
ingston Oil, for which paid about 81 900
or little over SO q share. Last week they
went down to 1as. What would like to
know is whether I should dispose of them
right now and take my loss or hold on to
them. seem to have a feeling that the
bottom has dropped out OF this oil company
and the longer l hold on to these shares the
less they will be worth I will be very
grateful to you if you will give me your
op!nion.-M. M.
Answer--1t is very difficult to advise
people regarding stocks of companies
which do not issue regular statements
of earnings. The Livingston Oil Com
pany is one Of these. The president of
the company recently stated, to be sure,
that the net earnings for December
were about 100000, yet no report is
forthcoming to enliehten stockholders
further than this. Last August, when
you made your purchase, the general
speculative market, and the market for
oil stocks. in particular. was very
active and strong. No doubt many
stocks sold for higher prices thar

should always be prepared for Just

Thursday, Wallace Reid tempted fate
by driving speed Car that holds the
record for accidents.
The automobil@ began its career as
a regular racing car and captured sew

it for scenes in his recent successful

event turned it over on a curve and
smashed it to pieces
But the automobile was rebuilt and
entered in the big race at lndianapo-
lis. There it turned over, driver and
mechanician were trapped under it.,
and both burned to death. But the
owner again had the car rebuilt and
won a race at Elgin, Illinois with it.
