Suddenly, along the snowy muddy, desolate
road, appeared a splash of color and a little boy
in a tight overcoat, much too small for him, and
a pair Of big rubber boots and a funny little
''beany'' pulled down tight over his ears. The
boy stood helplessly by the fence crying, and a
little girl just a bit older than he, hung on the
fence. She was crying, too. Her red skirt was
caught in a bit Of barbed wire, and she could
not get it out, and what was she going to do?
The bus driver laughed and the woman pas

Of a rooster, but couldn't eat that OF
a hen! That Is a remarkable example
Of real anaphylaxis.
Heredity enters into the c~ausation
Of anaphylaxis. 1t is not uncommon
for several members Of the same
family to have hay fever, asthma
and certain unpleasant reactions to
certain foods. The cells of the body
OF the several members Of one
family possess this peculiar sensi-
tiveness to a given protein.
There, that is a long lesson about
a puzzling and uncomfortable condi-
ton, anaphylaxis. Fortunately, it is
rarely met.
Prophylaxis Is a blessing and we
strive to find prophylactic or protec-
tive measures for the prevention Of
human ailments. But also the re-
search men are seeking to solve the
mysteries and dangers OF the op-
posite state.

On Land He Did

GN.s.l-W. F.. Watson, coal OPP
orator, has just discovered that
he has been paying taxes for 35
years on some land he didn't own
and is out about $1,000.
Through a recent survey of
the land, Watson discovered that
the plot on which he had been
paying taxes contained only 562
acres instead OF the S26 recorded
In the plat books.
He petitioned the county board
OF audit TO correct the books and
give him a refund. He got an
order for $2Ss.72, for the law
provides for refunds for only one
year in such cases.

Citizens Of North Woodside are max.

midnight custom of a Baltimore and

in blowing his whistle long and loud
as he dashes through Silver Spring

Last night at the monthly meeting
OF the. Montgomery County Civic
Federation a member OF the Qr2ani-
Zation declared that the habit of
this provocative engineer was be-
coming an unbearable nuisance and
asked the federation to take the mat

Someone suggested that the engi-

NEW YORK, May 14.-In spite
~ Americas new creditor posi-.
6ion, American purchases of shares
In foreign companies still con-
ktatuts a drop in the bucket COM
pared with dealings in domestic
securities.
There seems to be a disposi.
export capital for equities when
It is tied up with American
management. The recent acquisi.
tions of foreign plants and
allies by the General Motors
Corporation and the Ford Motor
Company are typical of the
new style American penetra-
tion abroad. Such foreign pen
etration is not of course confined
to- the automobile industry. The
American Radiator Company and
E., /. du Pont de Nemours and
Company are among those con-
Epicuous at the vanguard of the
new American procession.
Apathy Explained
In explaining the relative
apathy of American investors to-
ward the shares of foreign cor
porations, E. H. H. Simmons,
president of the New York Stock
Exchange, in the annual report
just made public, points out:
The truth Of the matter seems
to. be- that to investors through
the New York Stock Exchange,
American securities are still more
attractive than foreign securities,
and that this condition is likely
to last until American securities
advance in price to levels where
their superior intrinsic worth are
more completely counterbalanced
by their higher prices. Compari.
som with most European mar
kets makes 1t evident that this
stage has not been reached as
vet even in shares. much less in
bonds.
This view of the situation is
confirmed by the greatly in
creased interest exhibited toward
American investments in the
foreign securities markets them
selves. Some of the leading for
eign stock exchanges have been
quite active recently in listing
American issues. while other i'm
portant exchanges are prevented
from doing so principally by vari-
GUS legal limitations.
Management Exported
less obvious, though extensive
form of American investing in
foreign equities must not, however,
be overlooked Some of the large
reported increases in listed Amei-
can share issues during the recent
years have been caused by the sale
of the securities of American COM
panies here in order to provide
funds for the extensive purchase
of foreign properties and subsidi!
a,t;isE. In tins way American man
agement is exported along with
American capital; such a method
often enables more advantageous
financing here while at the same
time it provides superior assur-
ances to respective American
curity investors.
1T wi be recalled that England,
In the course of her long expert
ence as a creditor nation. fire.
Quently employed the same method
with her foreign investme IS and
Usually much to her advantage. 1t
is. consequently true that in our
listing statistics, some of the in.
creases labeled American shares
really arose from the foreign rather
than the domestic investment of

OWNER CENSUS
TIMELY, SAYS
FORBES
BY B. c. FORBES

How many stockholders live IN
your States?
How many bondholders?
And how much have they in
vested in stocks and bonds?
The New York stock Exchange,
I learn, is taking steps to gather
this extremely illuminating infor-
nation which will possess not
merely financial interest but deep
social, not to say political inter.
est and value.
James c.. Auchincloss, head of
the stock exchanges committee on
publicity, is sending out this re-
quest to presidents of compa anies
throughout the country:
Dear sir:
1.-The New York Stock Exchange
is making an effort to determine
as nearly as possible, the geo.
graphical distribution of securities
in the United States. Would it
be possible for you to assist us
in this effort by supplying the
following information with respect
to your company?
Total number OF common shares
held by residents of each State.
Total number of preferred
shares held by residents OF each
State.
Total number of bonds held
by residents OF each State.
Total number of common stock
holders in each State.
Total number OF preferred stock
holders in each State.
Total number of bondholders in
each State.
The exchange would like this
information for its statistical
records"
Reveal Number
When compiled this information
will reveal just how widespread
stock ownership and bond owner
ship have become. The popular
but probably Observation-Disclosures
is that there are now 15,000,90O
stockholders in this country, in
addition to several million bond
holders.
Where do present-day security
holders live? Are they. as often
declared, located in large numbers
in every part of the land? Or are
they mainly confined to the So
called fina ncial Fast?
Settle Question
My guess is that the records
will contain several surprises, not
withstanding the oft-repeated state
ment that everybody Is now
dabbling in the stock market" /
have found during my travels
that in the essentially agricul-
tural States relatively little in
terest IL taken in stocks or bonds
listed in Wall Street but that
where there are local enterprises
with shares outsfa nding. interest
is taken in them by goodIy
number Of those having surplus
funds.
