tain very effective statistical or
carnations on the commissions they
receive on investment transactions.
Consequently. they would be obliged
either TO demand higher commits

not get away with. or to dig into
capital in the hope of making up
tho deficit IN operating expenses

GONE of these brokers have de-
- Cidcd to charge clients for the
statistical services they perform in
addition to commissions on buying
and selling orders. while others
have taken the position that such
services should be rendered gratis
the cost to be betrayed through
commissions alone. Those handling
the largest accounts have leaned
largely toward the former attitude.
The more conservative methods
OF doing business should benefit the
brokerage trade generally, but the
problem OF whether or not to charge
for statistical services raises an i'm
pOrtant question. Is the broker en-
titled TO the extra charges, and can
ne advise impartially If he expects
TO profit only in the way of COM
missions from purchases and sales?
The ideal arrangement, perhaps,
would be for brokers to stick to the
brokerage business exclusively and
for banks, having ben segregated
from their security-selling activi-
ties. to advise clients on their in
VeStmentS. But many banks are not
equipped 70 handle the advisory end
of the investment business, and
brokers have learned that to last in
business they can not overlook the
question of whether or not clients
make money. Moreover. investors
seem inclined to seek advice from
brokers rather than from bankers.

CAUSES DEATH
Sunday Evening Crash Has
Fatal Result For
Joy Rider

The reckless driving of Ralph
Stansterry, aged 10 years, of Jeffer-
son, N. Carolina, caused the death of
one of his companions, Robert War

injuries.
An eye witness of the accident,
which occurred about five O'Clock
Sunday evening, in front of the
dwelling of Philip Riley, about one
half mile north of Rising Sun, at
Keppels mill, states the machine
was literally burning the earth
with speed.
The Ford sedan, with Stansterry
at the wheel, had gone past the mill,
travelling toward the Pennsylvania
line. a few minutes before. Return
ing at high speed, the machine bare
ly got across the nearby bridge
without accident, and coming up the
hill struck a post to which mail
box was attached, then crashed into
the concrete steps 4eading up to the
Riley property.
The occupants were thrown out,
but strange to relate, the Warden
youth was the only one to suffer ser
ious injury.
Mr.. F. P. Keppel, who had witness
sed the &C, mt, took the injured
young man to Union Hospital, Elk

proved fatal, death ensuing some
hours later to young Warden.

Police Satisfaction were notified and
young SIansterry was arrested and
lodged in Elkton, where he is being
held.
Stansterry did not have drivers
license and the car he was driving
belonged to Clifford Warden, father
of the youth who suffered death as
the result of the drivers reckless
ness. The Ford machine was al
most completely wrecked.
At the inquest held in Elkton
Monday afternoon at Pipp.n's tuner
al pariors, the jury rendered YER
dict of mo criminal negligence"
Stansterry was given hearing
before Police Justice Manly Dren'

COLORA PROTES-
TANTS WIN

On Monday, July 30th, delega-
ton of eighteen residents of Colora
and vicinity appeared at Elkton to
protest the granting of license to
Joseph j. Brown, to- sell Beer in
their town. They protested ON the
grounds that the granting of the IL
cense was not necessary for the ac-
commodation of the public, sup
porting their claim by petition
signed by large proportion of the
property owners in the immediate
vicinity, namely the following:
Lloyd Balderston, III; John e. Lip
pincott, Bertha Balderston, F. S.
Silver, Levi H. Balderston, Anna and
Alice Garvin, Ada M. Reese, A. P.
Worthington and wife, Lillian S.

nolds.
The protest was accepted and the
license refused. Testimony also
brought out arguments on other
grounds, stressing opposition to the
Beer business, rather than any OBJ
lection to the party applying for the
license. The danger to the children
in the community, who run in there
to spend their pennies, was strongly
supported.
