ADVISES
INVESTMENTS
INSURANCE.
Take Loss Now to Clean Out
Weaker Holdings in Order
to Make Others Safe, View
BY LEWIS HANEY
Director New York Unlversity,
Bureau of Business Research


Yesterday an out-of-town inves.
tor of fairly large means called
on me and said he wanted to
keep what money he had left,
He showed me a list of stocks
and bonds held and said he had
made bank loans to help carry
them. He did not want to bor-
row much more.
l said to this man that, in view
of existing uncertainties. he
should take steps to insure" his
position. The market is now
largely a matter of sentiment,
chiefly fear.
You can't calculate how low
any, stock may go. Therefore. it
is wise to pay something for a
sort Of insurance against the
chance of further loss.
Possibilities Cited
I mean that you can figure the
sale of a part of your holdings as
involving a premium payment on
such insurance. If you intend to
hold your funds for reinvestment.
it works out as follows:
You will have to pay brokerage
charges on the present sale and
on the later purchase of securi.
ties (when you buy again. You
may lose some interest on your
money. You may lose some by
not~ getting the best possible
price df the market rallies
soonO. And you may not make
your subsequent purchases at the
bottom.
But these charges and possible
paper losses are insurance against
greater actual losses. They are
the price Of safety, and safety is
now worth the price.
Clean Out Weakest
If you are going to keep your
funds invested in securities. you
must get over the idea of fearing
to realize a paper loss" You
may do we'll to sell and realize
your loss temporarily until you
can reinveSt to better advantage.
You should think of the matter
as shifting or switching"
operation. You realize a low price
on what you sell now, but later
you can buy a better security at
an equally low price.
With this idea, I advised him
to sell at least his weakest securi.
ties and those which would be
least likely to make a good re-
covery later on.

MARKET CAPERS
j BEFUDDLE ALL
PROPHETS
Beyond Comprehension, Says
Spectator, Now That Rails
Have Ignored Precedents
BY THE SPECTATOR

NEW YORK, Oct. 3.-The mar
ket's capers now are beyond all
comprehension.
Chart readers who had care
fully outlined just what would
take place when stocks would
finally turn the corner, are all
befuddled.-
For the rails, which we're
selected to be the pace-setters in
any turnabout in prices, were
the worst acting group in the
list yesterday. not only failing to
make headway but Sagging to
new low ground.
May Mean Little
This in itself may mean much
or little. There is nothing in the
rules or regulations Of stock mar.
ket procedure to prevent the in
dustrial and utility groups from
making headway 'vhile the rails
are pursuing a counter-course.
The only stickler in the theory
is this, that rail shares have
foreshadowed every intermediate
swing in the market, either up
or Gown, since the decline started
in September, 1929.
In view Of this, the action of
this group will continue to at
tract attention in speculative cir
cles.
Below Asset Value
A statistical study reveals that
many issues are selling below the
value Of their net current assets
per share, after deducting all
claims prior to those of common
stockholders.
Fixed assets in most cases are
given no value by current mar
ket prices of these shares, which
! include Allis Chalmers, with net
quick assets of $11.6O, American

BOOK BARES STORY
OF 'L0ST LEGION
Records of Colonial Militia in
1859 and 1850 Campaign
Given to Society.
By the Associated Press.


CONCORD, N. H, December 16.-An
"orderly book" relating the achieve
ments and hardships OF an all-but-
forgotten lost legion" of New Hamp-
shire fighting men, participants in the
French and Indian Wars, has been
acquired by Director Otis G. Hammond
of the New Hampshire Historical So
ciety.
Out of tumble of company reports,
written in the simplest of soldierly
language by Leonard Whiting Of Hollis,
leader of the Granite State Militia de-
tachment in the conquest Of Canada by
British and Colonial forces in 1859 and
1850, there emergeS a clear picture Of
the trials of the backWoods militia
men.
The book is characterized by Ham
mond as next to priceless" 1t Is yel-
lowed and faded, but still legible and
Is believed to be the only existent &C
count Of heretofore mysterious chap
ter Of American military glory.
Describes Advances North.
Stories of a smallpox scourge, de-
sertions, dissipations that threatened
the safety of besieged garrisons and
great bravery are contained in this
nelIlOOln Oh dH dllOuyulouo 4diIlliy
which has come to the New Hamp-
shire Historical Society as gift.
Capt Whiting tells an absorbing
story of the campaign fought by 1000
New Hampshire militiamen beyond the
outposts of civilization wholly without
literary pretense.
Orders, repeated in full, describe the
baggage and rations carried by the men
and the endless and colorful detail at
tached to the great advance up Lake
Champlain by boat and across Lower
Canada on foot to Montreal.
Fought With Scalping Knife.
It relates how, mile by mile, the 1n-
vaders fought their way against the
French, the Indians and the woods,
water and weather. The names Of
camps and bivouacs, stretching in an
unbroken line from Albany to Crown
Point, up Lake Champlain to the walls
OF Montreal, are minutely listed.
And Capt. Whiting had hand In it
all and jotted 1t down, day by day, into
his dog-eared, travel-stained, 8-by-10-
inch log book as the buckskin-cla New
England riflemen fought their way
north by aid of the torch and scalping
knife they handled as expertly as their
Indian enemies

VIEWS IN ERROR
McAdoo Tells Students Can.
collation. of War Debts Will
Not End Wars.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
DALLAS, Tex, December 16-The
United States Is simply deceiving itself
William G.. McAdoo said in an address
last night, II it believes reduction in
armaments, unless accompanied by pro-
found economic adjustment, would
end wars.
Speaking before students of the
Southern Methodist University, The SON.
in-law of Woodrow Wilson observed
that II years after the signing of the
Versailles treaty 1.-The obligations of this
treaty not only remain unfulfilied but
the leading nations of Europe are main
tanning greater ornaments and a more
staggering burden Of waste and taxation
than that which preceded the World
War"
Must Recognize Russia.
He expressed the belief that no
effective plan Of disarmament can be
made unless Russia is taken into the
family of nations" and said that, had
he been delegate to the Geneva Dis
armament Conference in 1927, he would
have accepted Russia's offer wholly to
diSarm herself at its full value.
He predicted that any effort on the
part Of the United States to purchase
world peace by cancellation of World
War debts with the promise that the
nations Of Europe abolish their srmies
and navies would result In failure.
ANY reduction in ornaments Is de-
sirable on the ground of national econ
on1y, but, if we believe that such re-
duction would put an end to great and
disastrous wars-unless the movement
Is accompanied by profound economic
adJustments-we are simply deceivtng
ourselves"
Europe Military Camp.
Observing that Europe today is a
military camp, a nest of explosives, an
arsenal of guns and munitions" Mr..
McAdoo remarked that it lis a singular
fact that amid all the world wide talk
of disarmament, only one great nation
has made an official proposal for COM
plete and universal disarmament on
land and sea and in the air."
Discussing the position of Russia in
relation to other world powers, the
speaker defended his position.
Il do not believe in Communism my
SELF" he said, "but If the people Of
Russia want Communistic govern
ment, why should we treat them as
pariahs and outcasts and refuse them
recognition when they have done ex-
actly what our Declaration Of Inde-
pendence asserts that every people
have right to do-establish a gov
ernment on such principles and or
ganiZing its powers in such form as
to them shall seem most likely to ef-
feet their safety and happiness.
