toners make it a rule always to brings
high-pressure statesmen to the bank TO
be interrOgated regarding their pro
motions. This will break up sales
nine times out Of ten, for high-pres-
sure statesmen invariably avoid being
questioned too closely by bankers
who know investments.
Rules to Follow
Our bankers should urge this in
Vestment slogan: Investigate before
you invest. Consult your banker first, +"
and SO indehbly impress It on the
minds Of their depOsitors that they
win always be guided by their bank
er's advice in making investments.
Salient points which should be kept
before the investing depositOr are:
1) There are three cardinal points
TO all good investments, namely safety
Of principal, certainty Of income and
Galability.
(2) Safety Of principal is more i'm
pOrtant than a high yield; the promise
Of big returns is usually q sign Of q
risky speculation.
(S) It is like taking q leap In the
dark to invest in promotions which
are an unknown quantity and for this
reason a thorough investigation
should always be made.
(D II is morally wrong, Il not
criminally so, for any person to invest
IN any proposition he feels Is a skin
game, or which is tainted by trickery
or fraud or opens the way for q faV-
Ored few to get in on the ground
door" clean up and get out from under
before the scheme collapses. Usually
the depositOr finds he is not in on
the ground door, there is no chance
for him to clean up before the scheme
cOllapses and so he loses all that be
has invested.
(5) If a promotion Is as good "a
claimed, It would not be necessary fol
high-pressUre statesmen to resort to al
sorts Of questionable methods, Il
would not be necessary to rush a vic
tim OF his feet and sign him up before
he could interview his banker, but hC
could be given time to consult others
before investing.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan 11.-A

tions in 90 counties, including Great

tee today when it resumed hearings on
the subject.
British manufacturers and automo
tive organizations, Mr.. Smith said,
have insistently requested relief from
increased prices in that country He
contended there was danger in use Of
tires containing reclaimed rubber.
American consumers will pay S515,-
100000 more for tires in 1926, Smith
said, at the present rate Of increase.
This he based on a probable average
increase in the price of from 35 to IS
points for thee rude rubber used in a
tire He estimated 37,000.O00 more
large tires and 25,OO0,0OO more small
tires would be used by 1886 than are
used now, at an increased price to the
consumer of $11 and $6 per tire, re-
spectively.
Restrictions applying to cotton in
the United States mot in retaliation,
but in emulation of British rubbe,

tive McKeown, democrat, Oklahoma.
Defending his plan, Mr.. McKeown
said he endorsed operation of British
