LEHMAN CORP.
RECOUPS 1929
CRASH LOSSES
Managed investment Trust
Presents Illuminating
Report.
BY RALPH HENDERSON,
Times Special Writer

NEW YORK, April 9.-Few in
vestors have won back in the stock
market all of the money they lost
in the 1929 crash. Most of them
undoubtedly are happy If they
have recovered half of their losses.
Consequently, the report of the
Lehman Corp, an investment trust,
which has just been issued, is par
ticularly illuminating. That trust
has recovered all of its losses and
has made considerable in addition.
Lehman Corp. stock was offered
to the general public at $104 share
in September, 1929, about a month
before the crash. 1t Immediately in
vested the proceeds. At the end of
March, 1886, its security holdings
gave its stock value of $121.25
| share.
Arthur H. Bunker Is executive
vice president of Lehman Corp. He
has been in direct charge of the
trusts investments. Your corre-
spondent was interested in how he
had been able to do so well with
the funds at his disposal and per-
suaded him to discuss the question.
1--WE have about fifty people in
our organization, Mr.. Bunker said
Every one of them has some i'm
portant work to do in connection
with our operations They are ex-
perts in their respective fields.
They are able to gather and digest
facts which must be known before
investments can be made safely and
with the likelihood of yielding
profit.
First Hand Information
eve have men, for instance, who
visit the oil fields of the country.
They get first-hand information
about the operations of the differ
ent companies. They are able to
select those which show the greatest
promise of profits.
Our success does not necessarily
indicate that we are smarter than
others. 1t does indicate that the
making of investments is a spe-
cialized business, and that facts are
needed before investments can be
made wisely"
The corporation took it on the
chin like others while prices were
receding, however. AS a matter of
fact, its stock at one time was
worth only about $50 share. It's
greatest claim to investment SUI
periority apparently lies in its ability
to recoup. although the depression
was upon it. no doubt, before it had
an opportunity to get its organization
well rounded out.
Trusts Are Here to Stay
It's success and the success of some
others in the same field suggest
that investment trusts, despite the
kicking around they have had in
recent years, are here to stay. And
the chances are that they may win
back the respect they once had here
and perhaps equal the regard in
which they are held in Europe.
Generally speaking, though, the
management trusts have worked out
to much more advantage than have
the fixed trusts That is not sur
prising, for in the fixed type trust
about all the investor gets is diver
sification. The advantage of in
vesting ability is missed almost |
entirely

THE largest Of the sharks, the whale
shark, reaches q length Of 10 feet
or more. This fish, large as it is, is no
cause for alarm, however, for it feeds
only on small fish, fish which are al
most incongruous in size. considering
the size of fish they feed.
It is seldom that the whale shark
eats any fish larger than two inches
in length, and often it picks prey only
one inch long.
The man-eating shark, so called be-
cause at times it attacks human be-
ings, seldom attacks human for
food purposes. More often the attack
on man Is caused by fear rather than

the other night. A young man driving

colided with another car. The wind

dazed and injured. The guilty driver
stood before her. Excuse me, ma am,
excuse me, ma'am," said he, blushing.
1T sure was all my fault and I will
pay for everything. I hope you are
not hurt" He went on in his soft,
gallant drawl until no one could have
placed charges against him.
I told a young Southern housewife
of this incident. She was furious.
THAT is the trouble with our men.
They think they can feed us with
sweet words and will do nothing, be-
cause they hate to pay for licenses
and insurance. But the women are
beginning to worry them" And she

A TLANTA is a modern city, the
\ distributing center for the South,
and is showing signs of prosperity.
There has been large influx OF
Northerners. This, together with the
movies and the radio, is fast wiping
out the feeling of sectionalism. You
find the people appreciating the ways
of others as well as their own. But
in spite of the fashionable stores, sky
scrapers and new public buildings, you
can never mistake Atlanta for any
but a Southern city.
Atlanta is a city of social distinc-
tions and while the women tell you it
is not like it used to be, you are al
ways aware of the feeling of culture
and background. An interesting side
light on the social attitudes is shown
In the personnel Offices when an en-
ployer wants to engage a new clerk

from cultured fine family. Another
insists that they send him a country

her.

are lazy, and do not want one who

typist and I don't give a hoot how

But on the whole the women feel
that the girls from the old families are
best able to meet the public and
handle the executive jobs and that the
other girls should handle the detail
work, for. the latter are likely to be
more quiet and less assertive.
These girls have better sense than
to expect too much in the important

more than 1900 markers at strategic
points along all major roads to point
out for you places and events Of his
torical interest. A splendid guide
book, or key to all the inscriptions on
these markers, will be sent to you on
request by the commission.
OF course, you may stop and read
the markers. But that slow and pains
taking procedure isn't necessary. A
large numeral has been placed on
each one, and all you need to do is
to be on the lockout for the markers
as you ride along. Simply pick out
the marker number, turn to its proper
place in the guide book and, in a word,
read as you ride.
Now for a route that offers the
maximum in convenience and fas-
cinating things to see: First of all
head for Falls Church along the Lee
Highway. Keep straight ahead and
pretty soon you'll find yourself on
route 20. Continue on this through
Gainesville, Warrenton, Culpeper and
Ruckersville and finally, to Char
lottesville, focal city of your tour.
After seeing the historical and seem
ic sights in this vicinity, here's pleas
ant little circle tour you're bound to
enjoy: Starting from Charlottesville,
follow $50 through Waynesboro, past
Fishersville and then to Staunton.
From Staunton follow route II
through Greenville, Fairfield and
Timber Ridge and then into Lex
ington. Next tarry at least q half
hour at Natural Bridge and take route
240 through Glasgow and then SOL
into Lynchburg. Here you should
pick. up route 20 again and follow this
past Sweet Briar, Amherst and back
once more into Charlottesville.
For your convenience, mileages be-
tween the main visiting places are
as follows: Washington to Warren
ton, 48 miles; Warrenton to Fuckers
vile, Sc; Ruckersville to Charlottes-
vile, Is; Charlottesville to Staunton,
40: Staunton to Lexington, 81; Lex
ington to Natural Bridge, IA; Nat
ural Bridge to Lynchburg, 80; Lynch
burg to Charlottesville, 70; total mile
age one way, 319 miles.
HERE, indeed, is good news for dis
~ eliminating motorists: Roads
throughout your journey are in excel
lent shape. Only two construction
jobs are now under way and these
are barely worth mentioning. Both
are on route 20, one being just north
Of Livingstone and stretching about
q mile, while the other is half-mile
section near Amherst. The latter is
the worse Of the two-somewhat
rough but easily passable.
Probably you'll enjoy especially the
splendid new stretch Of bituminous

peper and Ruckersville. This was
opened to trafic only q month or 50

No matter how commercial and i'm

her gracious old customs. I'VE still

You find the table always so beau

Even in the poorest home tea may

Life for the Southern housewife is
far simpler and has less turmoil than
in the Northern cities. The poorest
mother keeps maid to help her with
the children and to do the housework,
or she insists on keeping herself well
groomed and young looking. She feels
1t her duty to herself and her family

Charlottesville, as is well-known, Is
headquarters for the University OF
Virginia, founded by Thomas Jeffer-
son. The cornerstone of the first
building was laid on October 6, 1917,
in the presence of three Presidents,
Jefferson, Madison and Monroe. 1t
was opened for instruction as the
State University In 1925. The old
buildings were designed by Jefferson
himself, the rotunda after the Pan
theon at Rome and the other build
ings after classical models. New
