INVESTORS SERVICE
II you have an investment problem,
The Times will be glad to aid you.
Write us fully, inclOsing stamped
addressed envelope for reply, and
address the Financial Editor.

A. H., Columbia road-A widow
visiting in my home has $4,000 in
Liberty ANS which she feels she
should dispose Of and buy only the
highest class securities which will
bring her additional revenue.
I do not want to take the respon-
sibility in giving any advice in this
case, and want to ask IL you will
not kindly aid.
I am a constant reader OF the In
vestor's Service. and am aware OF
the replies you have made to some
who suggested selling Liberty Bonds,
but in this case the lady feels that
she must have more revenue.
p Answer-You state that a widow,
visiting in your home, has $4,000 in
Liberty Bonds and feels that she
should dispose Of same and invest in
higher income yield securities. You
state that you do not want to assume
the responsibility of giving her any
advice in the matter and want us to
do 1t. Well, that is whatiwe are here
for, SO to speak. But we want t. tell
you that we never have and probably
never shall advise anyone to sell
Liberty Bonds.
And in this connection and right
here we want to call your attention to
a story told in the columns of The
Washington Times Of how a Chicago
banker who was approached by p
widow with reference to a proposed
investment Of 100000.
This widow, as the story goes,
wanted to get per cent for her
money, and told the banker so. The
banker, whose name is known
throughout the world of finance, told
this woman to buy Liberty Bonds and
nothing else! There you are. And
that is just what We should tell a
widow.
OF course this woman can sell her
Liberty Bonds and put the money into
a varied list of reasonably high grade
bonds that will pay 6h per cent to Z
per cent-such issues as Pennsylvania
Railroad 619's, Chicago & North West.
tern 6h's, Northern Pacific Great
Northern 61a's, Western Union Tele-
graph 6h's, Illinois Central 8h's-
bonds due in 1896 and non-callable.
II we knew this good woman per
sonally and therefore knew the circum.
stances surrounding her investment
requirements we might be induced to
look with favor upon such shift from
Libertys to the bonds we mention.
We might also be induced to add a few
Of the foreign loans paying per cent.
But one Ming we are sure Of. You
can induce this friend to keep her in
vestment intact and she will never in
subsequent years say to you that you
gave her wrong advice.
On the other hand If she is entirely
dependent upon her income for her
support shift of her Libertys to
corporation bonds under expert guild
ance Of a banking house would not be
inadvisable.

One Of the menaces Of the old-time
bank and the old-fashioned banker
was the masked "safe-blower" with
his dark or flash lantern and other
accessories. The wonderfully con-
structed safes and vaults OF today
have practically put out Of business
the ancient craftsman and his
mob"
With, the passing OF the latter has
come an army of hold-up men who
boldly invade banks and business
houses in the daylight hours. or hold
up bank messengers or depositors en-
route to their banks with sums OF
money, great and small, to be de-
posted to their credit.
But modern methods to thwart the
hold-up men and incidentally safe
guard depositors will first be intro
duced in Washington according to
Col. M. A. Winter. chairman OF the
board, and Percy 8. Foster, president
Of the Banking Trust and Mortgage
Company.
A fleet of high powered automobiles
will be employed by that corporation.
These cars will practically carry the
bank to many Of it's patrons instead
OF requiring the patrons to go to the
bank to transact their business.
Flying trips will be made at regular

New York, say:
"As the market swings into October.
Il Is icing recalled that mere market

to what to do. Their whole action,
however. indicated that they meant to
do something and do 1t quickly.
An American Railway Express
wagon came laundering down the
street. They stopped 1t, and without
taking time to enter into any elaborate
explanation. began shouldering the
enormous bundles of papers and
pitched them into the express wagon.

faster than those fellows worked. The
operation finished, the express wagon

the wagon driver and his friend.
Clearly they had told themselves that
their job was to get the papers on
board that ferryboat in time, and they
were determined that nothing would
prevent them from carrying out their
job. They gave a stirring exhibition
OF quick thinking and still quicker ac-
ton. They sweated: but they won out.
A few minutes ago one Of my ascot
ates handed me a Keeping Up With

note: This comic contains a good
text for an editorial" Here is the text:

But you don't seem to be worried?"

Now the wagon driver and his fell
low worker didn't own those news
papers. They would have had an ex.
cellent excuse to give II they had
missed the boat.
They could have claimed that they
couldn't prevent the horse from fall
ing. Their boss would have been able
to find no fault with the excuse. Yet
he would have felt keenly disappointed
that for him to make up his mind to
get their paper as usual that night.
Had the same workers come every now
and again with beautiful excuses for
failing to deliver the goods he would
have felt compelled in the course OF
time to get rid OF them and try to find
men who would not be delivering ex-
cuses instead OF delivering the goods.
