CORPORATION stock was caused by public
speculation and the present psychology
cal conditions prevailing In Wall Street.
Small Investors Multiply.
Due to the high level Of wages and
to the returns for professional and other
services, the net income Of the Ameri-
can people is so much greater now,
relative to other periods when stocks
were rising, that the ability to absorb
stocks for the account Of capitalists OF
moderate and small means equals, ana
possibly exceeds, that Of capitalists who
individually or in groups operate on
large scale. The figures OF savings
bank deposits in the United States show
an increase between June 80, 1923, ana
June 80, 1928, of over $4,000. 000,O 600.
Those OF individual deposits were up
S6. 500 .0OO. 900 in the same period.
since last June there has probably been
a heavy withdrawal of savings deposits
for purposes of temporary or permanent
investment in securities.
This week an effort was made py the
writer to obtain an approximate loea OF
the amount of "odd-lot" buying that
has been taking place on the New YORK
Stock Exchange. Using minimum ng-
ures only, it appears that between
4O0, 900 and $780, 900 shares are purchased
in this form daily. OF this probably a
half represents margin transactions.
AT a minimum average price OF 500
share. which is tra-conservatlve, the
purchases for out-and-out investment
will aggregate l0,000, 900 a day, or, say,
$50 00O. 600 a week and around $780,
mn 00(l a wear. In addition there are,
of course, many more stocks taken up
on subscription or by purchase outsloe
of the exchanges.
The part being played by the invest
ment trusts and trading corporatlons Is
diff1cult to determine. Undoubtedly they
have absorbed large quantities OF STOCKS
in the past Is months, which has re-
duced the floating supply, especially IN
the high-grade industrials and punilc
utilities. Altogether Wall Street has
had an exaggerated idea OF the extent
of their purchases, for most OF the IN
diligently managed companies nave
abstained from buying stocks at the
levels prevailing since last summer
They probably have bought again TINS
week on the break, but only Tor a

Is PROHIBITION DESIRABLE?
A Harvard Professor Emphatically
Answers This Question in the
Affirmative

DR.. Richard c. Cabot, Professor Of So
cial Ethics in Harvard University dis
cussed the question, us Prohibition De-
sirable,' before an audience of Harvard
students. Quoting from his own expert
ences among the poor and unfortunate,
and that of others engaged in similar &C.
equations, Mr.. Cabot declared that he
was led to but one conclusion-that pro-
hibition is national blessing.
Any agency which protects the right to
safety against being run down by drunken
automobile drivers, which furnishes free
dom against alcoholic poisoning, which
insures the opportunity for women to
bring up children properly and which
gives industry chance to prosper, is not
an infringement on liberty in the larger
sense, but the finest kind of a safeguard
for the rights of individuals.
In answer. to the charge that the dry
leaders fail to distinguish between the
use and abuse of liquors, Dr. Cabot de-
clared the non-existence of such a dis
tinction. "Any use OF liquor is an abuse"
he said. "The moderate drinker is the
dangerous drinker. There is no need to
fear the man who has had SO much to
drink that he goes to sleep in his car
It is the man who has had Just drink
or two who is the real menace to society,""
In refuting the wet argument that
evils follow in the wake OF prohibition
which are greater than the good &C
compliShed, DR.. Cabot displayed charts to
show that since prohibition there have
been fewer cases of neglected children,
reduction in cases due to intemperance
handled by the provident associations, a
decrease in assault cases, falling Off in
the almshouse population, and the clos
ing Of many liquor cure homes

WHO ARE THE CRIMINALS?
Are They Not the Buyers of Illicit
Liquor as Well as the Crimi-
nails of Gangland?

A few months ago, serial story was
published in the Saturday Evening Post
entitled "Hooch" It was portrayal of
the underworld gangsters crooked off,
Gals and criminal elements generally,
with Illicit liquor furnishing the life of
gangland. Near the close of the story, an
old and honest policeman, talking about
the gang and its doings with man who
himself boldly bought bootleg liquor, said:
The crux of the situation is right in
that bottle you hold in your hand,
Carter There'd be no corruption,
there'd be no murders if fellows like
you bought no whisky! I don't want
to moralize. But the only thing these
me-: fight over and steal about is the
money you pay for whisky. It's your
dollar that brides and murders. You
stop paying it and they'll stop fight
ing. You stop buying liquor and
they'll stop bribing and taking brides!
Anyway you look at it, Carter, that's
the one sol.ce of all these rum kill
ings. To save my soul, can't see
where these bribed officials are any
more criminals than you are. And
when L say YOU Carter, I mean every
man in America that buys bottle of
booze!
And isn't it the truth?
"Hooch" is now published in book form
by Doubleday Doran and Company, New
York, and the So it costs is worth several
times that amount in the insight it gives
the readers into the doings of crimes,
criminals and liquor.

Proposing vigorous educational cam

''There is more law enforcement convic-

these sentiments"
Mrs. Coolidge reported that growing
list of socially prominent women are sub

the league, with each declaring herself in
opposition to the so-called moderation
group, headed by Mrs. F. Lothrop Anes.
