chow TO INVEST
YOUR MONEY!
By Bayard Dominick.
President The Better Business Bureau
of New York City.

The Ground Floor'-An opportunity
to "get in on the ground floor often
turns out to be the same sort of op-
por:unity which the proverbial spider
extended to the fly. 'Participating &
syndicates,' special allotments,'
founders shares" initiating the real
thing, may sound attractive to the
inexperienced investor, but they add
no value in terms of investment quail
ity. OF the same type may be many
socalled cooperative" ventures and
altruistic investment democracies,'
in which appeals are made to the
small investor for funds.
Inside Information.-"Insid tips
are usually expensive pieces OF mis-
information. When used as con
fidential information" to influence the
small investor, they are generally of
spurious character. Ostensible Sc
crecy is the smoke screen which the
seller of worthless securities uses to
escape investigation of his claims and
his shares. Sometimes tips of this
kind come from publications which
claim to be disintereSted guides to
investors, but actually are the organs
of designing promoters or market
trick sters or are in collusion with
them.

MINERS CALL PRESENT
SAFETY LAWS ADEQUATE
Say Open-Flame Lamps Are Neces-
sary in Order to Detect
Presence of Gas.

By the Associated Press.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, February 2e.
Members of the Legislative commit
tee investigating means of preventing
such mine disasters as occurred at
Sullivan were told by officials of the
miners union and coal operators at a
hearing that the present mine safety
laws were adequate, and there there Is
no call for prohibiting use of the open
flame lamps.
Miners in the Indiana fields are OPP
posed to the use of electric lamps be-
cause they are heavier, and in addt-
ton they are of no use in detecting
gas formations, officials declared.
Had the electric lamps been used
yesterday in Wheatland there prob
ably would have been no explosion, 1t
was said, but the gas would have
formed in such quantities that by to-
day it probably would have caused a
disaster. The open-fiame lamps are
practically the only means available
for detecting the gas before 1t has
assumed dangerous quantities, 1t was
said.
The present Indiana laws do not
prohibit the use of open-fiame lamps.
