$50 YOU ARE GOING ABROAD"
Mabel Laycock (Mrs. S. E.)Heee

Where you wish to go and what you
wish to see will be influenced largely
by what you have read of the history,
romance, literature, art or architec-
ture of European countries or of
some European country in particular
Your reading will have been, all I'M
consciously, preparatory for your trip
Whatever has interested you most
in your reading you will want most to
see and, like as not, you will plan your
trip so that the itinerary will include
such towns and cities the reading
about which has contributed the most
to your pleasure and enlightenment
Years ago Professor Edward Maxim
Hume of Moscow gave a course of
lectures in THE Italian Renaissance"
The lecture in art was illustrated with
individual sets of university prints.
These | have retained and have often
referred to them comparing them with
other pictures by the same artists or
perhaps contrasting the style of one
artist with another until the place of
their abode, Florence, Naples, Rome,
Venice, has become the mecca of my
desires.
Certainly all one learns about
country, of its history, its literature,
its art, add greatly to the understand
ing and the interest in that country.
| have found series of books by
Clara E. Laughlin helpful and most
entertaining. so You're Going to
Italy" is as fascinating as a novel. so
You're Going to Paris" and so You're
Going to England" are two others by
the same author that are especially in
teresting if you are anticipating a
visit to either places.
Anything on art written by E. V.
Lucas is reliable, up to date, and will
help you to better appreciation of
the old masters.
Little Books on Great Masters" "A
Wanderer Among Pictures" and his
other ''Wanderer" stories are some |
have found most delightful. He has a
pleasing style combined with an indie
pendent way of looking at things
"The Renaissance" by Prof. Hume,
you will find in the public library and,
though formidable looking volume
in size, is well worth while if you have
the time and the desire for more ex-
haustive study.
In reading Longfellow's translation
of Dantes Inferno I've found the vol
luminous notes more interesting than
the text.
Then last but not least, acquire as
complete set of guide books for
European travel as possible
They are written in alluring style.

Bonds Share Risks.
8. If panicky conditions come, with
falling commodity prices, and the eco
nomic outlook favcrs bonds as COM
pared with stocks, many corporations
fail and became unable to meet their
bond obligations. Such bonds share
the risks of stocks, without sharing
the opportunity to share in prosperity.
However, high-grade bonds may be
selected in which interest payments
are assured even during periods of
marked adversely.
Hartley Withers, English economist,
in discussing Mr.. Smiths advocacy of
common shares, said that Mr.. Smith S
conclusions meant only that diversi-
fed lists of common shares in the in
dustries of a country that is enjoy
ing exceptional growth and prosperity
give them margin of advantage over
high-grade bonds.'
The beginner in investments should
start out with safety, going first to
the savings bank, the building and
loan association and the insurance
company. Then he should reinforce
himself with a backlog of high grade
bonds. AT this stage he is in a posi-
ton to assume the risks of selecting
good stocks, which deserve a place
in we'll diversified investment

One leading steel executive attrib-
utes the stability of the steel BUSH
ness at present to the Federal Reserve
system, which has tended to minimize
fluctuations of the money market,
with a corresponding leyeling out of
the curve of commodity prices. This
makes it unnecessary for steel con-
sumers to buy in large quantities or
anticipate needs months in ad-
vance. This has reflected back to
the benefit of the producers.
One of the few clouds on the
steel horizon is the possibility of
labor disputes in the bituminous
coal fields, on which many plants are
dependent for coke and coal. Results
of the convention of the miners at
Indianapolis late this month are
anxiously awaited.

THE BUSINESS OF GETTING
AHEAD.
Bonds as Investments.

Until recently the financial world
generally assumed that bonds were
the best vehicles for long-term invest
ment.
That traditional view has been chal-
lenged in recent years by the studies
of Edgar J.. Smith and others, which
indicated that a well diversified list OF
common shares over a long period Of
years will give better results than
high grade bonds.
There is truth in this new observa-
ton, but it may lead to unwise de-
auctions. The experts recognize the
need of managerial skill In handling
investment funds. Unless the skill is
avaiE-sle and the fund is large enough
to provide for ample Investigation,
the individual as a practical matter is
more likely to get safety in bonds
than in shares.
But the mere word bond" is not in
itself an assurance Of safety. A low
yielding bond may ultimatev go into
default. The French peasant, long
lauded all over the world for his
thrift. made investments which have
proved to be conspicuously unwise.
He bought low yielding Russian and
Turkish obligations. which went into
default, and his purchase even of
French government rentes has as a
result of the depreciation of the franc
lost four-fifths of its real value.
Common Stock Rises.
In periods of rising commodity
prices and depreciating currency good
common stock rises more or less with
the price level. Bonds, on the other
hand, suffer more or less with the de-
preciating currency.
In the United States at present
the investor is confronted with a
stable currency and a fairly stable
price level There is therefore rela-
tive safety in buying good bonds un-
der existing economic conditions. I'm
mediate conditions are perhaps more
favorable TO bonds than stocks, for,
from the standpoint Of the long term
investor, stocks have the disadvant-
age Of being priced at or near the
peak thus far attained The long
Term investor finds it safer to pick
up good stocks at times of recession
rather than at the summit OF pros
perity.
The elements which make well Sc
lected common stocks attractive over
the long pull, especially in a growing
country like the United States, in
clude the following:
/. Directors habitually pay out in
dividends less than is available in net
earnings. The residue is returned to
the business, and earnings thus pile

EXPANSION BEGUN
