INVESTORS ARE TO BE GUARDED
 IN THE FUTURE
Unsafe Securities Will
 Lure No More Millions Roosevelt Bill of PrO=
 lection Is Safeguard :.

Washington, March 31-(UP)-- The Elttering rainbow of unsafe securities, which for generations has lured millions of dollars out of American investors pockets, will soon be ended.
 Senate and house committees to- day began hearings on President Rooscvclts iron-clad investment protection bill and it's early passage Is almost certain.
 Drastic federal punishment-rea1 fines, real jail terms-will be the penalty for unscupu'ous security promotion. The proposed new sta ute provides equally severe pun ishment for glib gold mine stock salesmcn and bankers with doubt ful foreign securities.
 The bill does not provide that the federal governmcn: certify the quality of any investment security, But 1t does provide in emphatic language that all securities offered must be registered with tho fed eral trade commission and all vital information concerning the com panlcs involved must be made pub- lic. In short, the public will know what 1t Is buying.
 Direct fraud will be punished under this first federal bIuc-sky law.
 Failure 10 publish the trutl, about securities will be punished.
 The commission may suspend listings and right to sell stocks and bonds.
 Persons dcfrauded may go into federal court and get their money back from the person defrauding them. or from tho officers of the company who originally furnished the misleading or false informa- tion.
 These rigid provisions are backed up by the threat of n $5.0O0 fine or five years in prison. or both, for violation of the act.
 In addition. securities barred From sale in any state will be bar rcd from interstate commerce.

Opening of Muscle Shoals Forecast by Stories
 of Redskins

Birmingham, Ala, (UP) - AT Indian legend may be soon ell. maxed at Muscle Shoals if Prcsi. dent Rooscvelt's "new deal" is carried out, according to Mrs Car alone Engsfeldt, whose hobby A collecting legends.
 The story is that the Great Spirit imprisoned water sprite beneath Muscle Shoals. She was the Goddess Of the Tennessee river. Her lover was the Prince of the Power of Air, who did his wooing with brecZes.
 But it was decrecd that the two never should be united until q mighty magician in human form should bring reign of peace and prosperity.
 President Roosevelt. in advocat- Ing opnrlnE of the Shoals power and nitrate plants, is the magi- elan. it is believed by the few re- maining Indians.
 That. Mrs Engsfcldt says. is her best legend. But she has others.
 Another Indian story. devoutly believed by persons of Indian cx- traction in Alabama's Black Belt region, has to do with the only earthquake ever recorded there.
 Tn" quake was caused by the stamping of a foot by wrathful Chief Tecumseh. whose ire had been stirred when his efforts 10 arouse the Black Belt Indian braves to war in 1911 had been futile.
 The warriors were nabby and lazy from years of peace. So Chief Tccunseh declared he would find warriors among inc Huron tribes of what now is Detroit.
 When prayer friends were found, the angry chief said, Tc- cumsch would stamp upon the ground and the earth would shim- mer In the Black Belt.
 After GO days had passed th" ground rolled and pitched and whole villages topplcd to earth. Tccumsch. the Indians believed, had accomplished his vengeance.
