VANDERBILT FIGHT
REOPENED TODAY
Mother to Seek Modification
of Court Order Regarding
G1oria's Custody.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December 3.-vested
in dignity and calm In direct contrast
to the sensational personalities Of two
years ago, Gloria Vanderbilt's strug-
gle for custody Of her l2-year-old
daughter started all over again today.
Louis A. Froich, attorney for Mrs.
Vanderbilt, went before Justice Tim
othy A. Leary, asking modification OF
court order that gave her child
for all but week ends to little Gloria's
tremendously wealthy aunt. Mrs.
Harry Payne Whitney.
The order was issued two years ago
by Justice John F. Carew. now Ill.
It was expected that Justice Leary,
in his chambers. would set . date
for hearings later.
Bitter Opposition Faced.
Faced again with the same bitter
opposition that prevailed when Mrs.
Vanderbilt. the widow Of Reginald
c. Vanderbilt, sought originally to re-
gain custody Of the child from the
aunt, she asked the court to rule
that she is entitled to have the child
for substantial periods" instead Of
week ends
1T Is primarily in the interests of
my child that ask for modification
of the decree Of this court" Mrs.
Vanderbilt's motion said.
1T Is evident that the week end
visits are having harmful effect
upon my child. The normal afiec-
ton she has for me Is being destroyed
by the present arrangement"
Provision to Reopen Case.
Justice Carew left open the path
to today's move by Mrs. Vanderbilt
when he ruled that the question could
be reopened after q sufncient period
If division of the child's custody did
not seem to be working well.

equally fashionable twin sister, the
former Lady Furness, Mrs. Vanderbilt

In addition to Justice Carew, two
other leading characters in the first
drama were missing from today's
scene. Lady Furness has returned

SOCIAL SECURITY for the Investor

buys ONE royalty and then waits
for it to mature may not succeed in
any large measure, else it may come
at a time too late to do much good,
as in the case of this man who rea-
lized that he should have diverted
MORE of his savings into royalties,
which would have hastened his. re-
covery from the setback of the de-
preston
This does not mean that he should
have NOT invested in lands or that
he should NOT have started a busi-
ness or that he should NOT have
entered the stock market. He made a
living plus a profit during certain
years of his life while engaging In
these enterprises. Had he known in
1926 what he knows in 1886, he might
have diverted several thousand dollars
from his business into royalties, instead
of few dollars.
In other words, we all know that
life insurance is a good thing. Yet
a man does not give up all other
forms of enterprise to put all his
money into life insurance. Neither
does the intelligent business man give
up his business and put all of his
money into royalties. Out of the
profits of his business he diverts
money into investment channels. No
man ever gets rich unless he puts
MONEY to work for him. Money is
the only thing in the world that can
MAKE MONEY. Human Drawn and
brain can MAKE A LIVING plus some
savings, but it takes MONEY to make
money.
Unfortunate is the man who works
hard to save some money beyond his
cost of living, and then fails to
"stay with his money" If he takes
his hard-earned money and entrusts
it to an candy Brown" who promises
to treble it, he is likely to lose it.
IF he takes it to his banker and asks
his banker to assume responsibility
for the principal and to make his
money earn money for him, the banker
will naturally keep all the profit ex-
cepting low rate of interest. He
cannot make enough money in that
manner to get anywhere. He must
risk his money in something that has
definite value behind it wherein he
has a chance of winning not two-four-
one or three-fdr-one bu from
TWENTY to ONE HUNDRED-to-o
such as is afforded today by royalties.
The investor must put as much
intelligence into the INVESTMENT of
his savings as he has used in getting
the money in the first place. That
means that he must be a STUDENT
of royalties before he makes an in
vestment. He must know how to fig
ure the value of a royalty and must
know approximately what to expect
from the AVERAGE of his royalty
investments. Knowing these factors,
he is as content as the man who buys
a lot in growing city and watches
the town grow out and beyond, en-
hancing the value of his property.
A well bought royalty has the security
of good real estate with the specula-
tive possibilities of the stock market.
The experience of this one man may
serve as valuable food for thought
for many others who are trying to
establish social security for themselves.
