"Selective" Stock Market Minimizes
Violent Disturbances, Simmons Says

Mr.. Simmons said, has had unprece-
dented amounts of funds for invest
ment. The aggregate available supply
OF capital has mounted faster even than
internal economic opportunities, and
American funds naturally have flown
into both domestic and foreign securi-
ties. The tendency was made more pro-
nounced. in his opinion, by the rapid
reduction of the national debt and the
annual release through this source of
approximately $i.000.000,000 OF fresh
capital for investment.
The prices of shares listed on the
exchange showed an average advance OF
q per cent during 1927 and of 40 per
cent since 1925. Superebundant capt.
tai available for investment and low
prevailing rates of interest caused bond
prices similarly to rise. led by railroad
obligations. The same upward trend
was noticed in bonds and stocks on

Answer.-u) One inherits the tend
ency to be tall or short from ones
progenitors. Exercise and a hygienic
lie make the body develop and become
as large and strong as heredity permits:
other things stunt the growth of the
body. There is not any way to make
ones self grow shorter, however. You
can make yourself look shorter by wear
ing certain kinds Of clothes. Horizontal
tucks. founces, flares and deep hens
tend to reduce the apparent height
OF the figure. If you want to avoid
looking tall do not wear high heels or
