had come begging to be shown what

was told to go and eat!

NEW YORK, october 2 Draw
ing on his SO years Of experience Of
serving on protective committees, F. j.
Lisman. banker, writing in the Oc-
tober number of the Harvard Business
Review on Protective Committees, I"
concludes that Legislation cannot
/ make people either honest or COM
petent and that statutory limitations
should therefore be avoided"
Regarding the problem of locating
security holders, Mr.. LEman writes:
In a corporation of any size, the
security issues become amazingly scat
tered. The average holding of bonds
placed through banking houses is
about $4,000; the average holding Of
real estate bonds is very much smaller.
The distribution of ownership of stocks
varies greatly.
Stocks of the large companies
which have been in existence for
many years and which are listed on
stock exchanges are very broadly dis
tributed There are many holders
of 10 shares and less. and the ag-
gregate of small holdings constitutes
a substantial proportion of the entire
capital stock
Many well-todo people have heard
that it is wise to distribute their risk.
and an amazingly large number Of
such people buy a small amount of
stock in a great many different com
panies; in effect, they seem to be COL
lectors and incidentally accumulate a
great variety of valueless stock"

The luck element in Dillinger' q
