THE BUSINESS OF GETTING
AHEAD.
Nine Rules for the Venturesome.

Mixed motives are common in ordi.
nary human affairs. Although theo-
retically the true investor looks only
for safety Of principal and regularity
of income, the majority in actual life
also hope they can select securities 80
wisely that they will also get an appre-
citation Of principal and thus partici-
pate in the economic growth OF the
country. Unless such a policy is
backed by sound investment manage
ment, 1t is likely to get the investor
into improbable deals.
In his latest book, Hints About In
vestments," which has been published
in England and has not yet been
brought out in this country, the gifted
Hartley Withers, who writes with
singular clarity and common sense.
offers some concrete advice to those
who seek to tinge their investments
with a speculative element. Mr.. With
ers has formulated the subjoined rules
as a. means whereby the investor can
tend to avoid barking his shins:
81. Diversity.
Fair Amount Outstanding.
"2. Prefer securities which have q
fair round amount outstanding, say at
least $4,000, 900. Some Of the little fell
lows are very sound and comfortable,
but a big concern is, on the whole,
more likely to be well fathered, well
held. and we'll looked after.
"3. Prefer securities of companies
and debtors that have a record and a
past, so that you may have something
to work on in guessing at their future.
Leave new creations to those who
know all about them, and to profes.
| sional investors, whose business 1t is to
nurse them through their infant all
| ments. ! know that / can be fioored
| by examples to the contrary. But how
many of US would be richer IL we had
| always followed this rule.
| "a. When you invest abroad never
| buy the common shares, and only
very cautiously the preference stocks
and bonds OF debentures, Of any rail-
way or public utility company-such

etc.--unless the great majority of the

the greater the loss in egg pro-

sitting put her in broody coop
where she can be properly fed and

have a Stat bottom in order that
the air may circulate from beneath,
thus keeping the body of the hen
