BABSON RECOMMENDS PURCHASE OF
 STOCKS CLASSIFIED AS "REPEATS'

Wellesley Hills, Mass May IS, --- When asked for his plan for selecting industrial stocks. Roger W. Babson. the statistcian today sounded new Lote in recommending what he calls the repeats"
 Manufacturing concerns are diyid cd Into three main groups" said Mir. Babson. according to the nature of what they produce These groups are as follows
 Three Groups Enumerated
 Group one includes those concerns making products that nre bought eventually by every person, but in small quantities cofflns arc n simple illustration Of this group. For each of us one coffin win ~o"se v" bought, This is known as the essen- tal group.
 Group two includes those concerns manufacturing products which only q certain percentage Of the people buy at all and which only very few buy moro than once. There are hosts Of Of this group. Pianos, automobiles yes, even garden tools are in this group.
 Group three includes those con cerns who are engaged in the manu- facture Of repeat merchandise. The breakfast food people are an illustra- tion of such manufacture. You get into the habit of using certain breakfast food and you keep buying it. The soap people are engaged in this repeat business. Such business is the most profitable. both to the nanufacturer and 10 the investor. h. dustrial securities which are founded cn the third group are generally rec ognized as the most attractive.
 "Esscptiols" Not Best
 "One might think that the essential group is the best group in which to invest ones money, but a study of the situation convinces one that this is not so. Although some one is sure some day to buy coffin for each one of us. vet the coffin industry is very easy industry to get overstocked. Surely the sale Of coffns can be in creased very little by advertising, salesmanship or any other means known to the most clever sales man. agers
 Take salt" continued Mr. Rabson. salt is the prime essential of food, yet the cleverest advertising In the world could not increase the natural of salt Although off hand you might think it much safer 70 loan money to the salt industry than to the candy industry yet a study of failure records show that the candy industry is safer than the salt

 or them can he increased to an al dustries producing products Of thu second group are preferable to thos' of the first group.
 Gillette Raxors
 The third group, including those industries based upon repeating pur, chases, Is the most profitable of all The securities Of the Gillette Razor are very good illustration, The Gil le,te company can afford to sen { razor at a loss because of the blades they sell later
 Investors should not be frightened at the word 'Industrials.' Every class or securities has its strong and its weak features. No class Of invest nients has monopoly Of all the good points. The wise investor will diver sify, taking part governments and municipals, part railroads, part indus trials, part public utilities part other classes, When. however, seeking in- dustrial securities select those indus tries that are based upon repeat or ders and where the market is more or less unlimited.
 MonOnoplies Not Good
 Some people bank on monopoly, They will buy only into industries which hava monopolies Temporarily they may win. but the fact that the company's having a monopoly usually tends to make the company inefficient and often ultimately brings disaster. The investor who depends on mono poly is playing a dangerous game. It is far better to buy into an industry which has a great undeve'oped field and which relies on repeat orders.
 "I certainly advise investors against putting their money into companies which manufacture products which do people harm. Statistics show that the greatest losses to investors in in dustria]s have come through com panies such as brewery companies, for instance. They have been operat cd purely for profit without regard to the welfare of the people. The primary feature to he sought when considering an investment" conclud- ed Mir. Babson. lis to be certain that your money is to make people health fer. happier and more prosperous. When you invest your money, if you will try to select such companies. and at the same time companies profiting on repeat business, you will make the greatest profits with the least risk"
 General business has maintained the gain made week ago and is run ming al 5 per cent below normal.

this is true at Northwestern Jniver i sity.
 Years ago the university" he say. bound itself to the production o1 men and women trained in mind anG character to a certain standard. The cost of the product has risen. In uni versity finance, unlike the business world, there is little connection be- tween the cost of the prodrct-educa- ton, and the income of the educa- tional institutions.
 Student fees cannot be increased in number or in the individual amount. We cannot take care of any great increase in the number of stu dents, even if it could be gained with out educational sacrifice. Practically every school is working to it's physical capacity. We are working nt the point of greatest economy and ef- ficiency. Yet at present the school de ficit is s143,Soo. Throughout the university for every $3 a student luys the university, s4 are paid Clt in actual teaching expenses for him by the university taking TO sccount of general administrative cilarsas, r.1 tal for the use of the campus or build ings, interest on fixed charges. This s4 is an actual expenditure for every student and will only increase with the increase of student numbers. If to the actual teaching expense a fair commercial rest were added based on tha actual Na11lp 0f fhp pHncg ion plant. it would appear that the Uni- versity spends on the student s2 for every s1 he pays in

PROFESSOR PUPIN'S FIRST DAY
IN AMERICA AS AN
IMMIGRANT BOY

The old Stevens Hotel, a white
building with green windOw-shutters,
stood at the corner of Broadway and
Bowling Green. When I reached this
spot and saw the busy beehive called
Broadway, with thousands of teic-
graph-wires stretching across it like
cobweb between huge buildings, I
was overawed and wondered what it
ali meant. Neither Budapest, nor
Prague, nor Hamburg looked any
thing like it. Ny puzzled and panicky
expression and the red fez on my
head must have attracted considera-
bic attention, because suddenly saw
myself surrounded by a small crowd
of boys of all sizes, jeering and laugh
ing and pointing at my fez. They
were newsboys and bootblacks' who
appeared to be anxious to have some
fun at my expense. | was embarras-
sed and much provoked, but contrHll-
ed my Serbian temper. Presently
one of the bigger fellows walked up
to me and knocked the fez off my
head. | punched him on the nose and
then we clinched. My wrestling ex
periences on the pasturelands of Id
vor came to my rescue. The bully wa:
down in a jiffy, and his chums gave
loud cheer of ringing laughter. /
thought it was signal for general
attack, but they did not touch me OF
interfere in any way. They acted
like impartial spectators, anxious to
see that the best man wins. Sudden
~ | felt powerful hand pulling ne
up by the collar. and when | looked
IN |. saw a big official with club to
his hand and fierce expression In
his eve. He looked decidedly uh-
friendly, but after listening to the a2-
peals of the newsboys and bootblacks
who witnessed the fight he softened
and handed me my fez. The boys who
little while ago had jeered and
tried to guy me, evidently appealed IN
NV behalf when the policeman intel-
fered. They had actually become mr.
friends. When ] walked away toward
Castle Garden with my red fez proud
" cooked no on my head the boys
cheored. | thought to myself that the
unpleasant incident was worth my
while, because it taught me that
was in a country where even among
the street urchins there was strong
sentiment in favor Of fair play even
to a Serbian green horn. America
was different from Austria-HungarY.
I never forgot the lesson and never
had single reason to change my
opinion. -,
