IT'S TRUE

Empress Elizabeth of Austria
liked to smoke cigars, too. And so did
the late Amy Lowell, Boston poet.
When the Cabots talked only to Lo-
wells, it may have been about Amy's
unusual habit.
Abraham Lincoln wrote poetry and
detective stories. But he was frankly
bored by reading the fiction written
by others.
Lincoln when campaigning for Con-
gress, carried harmonica around and
gave impromptu concerts to attract
crowds for his speeches.
During the War Between the States
Tad" Lincoln raised the Confederate
flag over the White House as a prank
Lincoln escaped four attempts at
assassinating him before Booth fired
the fatal shot.

Fire Insurance Stocks
Called Good Investment
Underwriting Business Imp roves Babson Finds; Hedge
Against Initiation; Probe of Investment One of
Most Difficult of These Times

| petent to invest their money today
should seek some type of advice
There are organizations who manage
money with a long and successful re-
cord behind them. In this group are
trust companies, investment trusts, in
vestment advisory concerns, and fire
insurance companies. If any grour
can invest successfully under today s
conditions, these concerns should be
in a position to do so. The past ten
years have wildly shown that the
management of money is not merely
a side issue. I know of deplorable in
stances Where business and profes-
sional men have devoted only thirty
minutes to the investment of the saw
ings of their entire lifetime
The oldest investment fund mana
ers in the country are the fire insur-
ance companies. Not only to these
companies use their capital in buy
ing securities, but they are also al
lowed to invest the money paid in
by policyholders. Hence, they resem-
BILE the very best investment trusts
except that they are much older. In
fact, they wer investing money when
the New York Stock Exchange was
still an informal open-air auction held
under an oak tree in Wall Street.
Some companies have an unbroken
dividend record which goes back even
beyond the Civil War. AS in any bust
ness or profession. so in the invest
ment of money, experience is of vital
Importance.
Underwriting Business Improves.
I have stressed the investment an
gle of fire insurance companies; but
that, of course, is not their real func-
ton. A good portion of their profits
comes from their underwriting "a
basic and essential service. This gives
their stockholders a double-barrelled
investment. One is protection against
the other. Under today's conditions,
underwriting business should show
excellent Improvement. Modern build
ing methods, sprinkler systems, and
fire-fighting equipment are steadily
cutting down the long-pull trend of
fire losses. AS building costs jump
sharply and commodity prices move
up spectacularly, people cover their
property and inventories more 0horo-
ughly and underwriting profits theo-
rettically should increase.
Last year the amount of fire insur
ance written jumped roughly 10 to
Is per cent, On the other hand,
drought and better business boosted
fire losses Is per cent. Hence, under
writing profits were sharply lower.
In recent months, however, fire losses
have been cut substantially. Invest
ment income last wear was of course
higher Dividends were upped only a
10 per cent because insurance
companies are not subject to the Fed

Tory considering present returns on
comparable securities. Furthermore,

unlike life insurance companies.
the fire organizations invest a large
portion of their funds in common
STOCKS. During the past five years,
nearly every common stock has shown
huge Improvement, both in earnings
ana price. We have however, reached
point in the business cycle when you
can nc longer buy stocks with your
eyes shut andP make money. Many
industries are nearing their peak in
earn ings due to cyclical and reform"
factors. The men who handle the port
foiios of fire insurance companies
study these group trends carefully.
They ere constantly shifting their
funds from industries where the out
look has become blurred to industries
where the prospects are still promis-
ing
Then, too, there is the initiation an
gle. Careful analysis of initiation in
France and Germany shows that real
estate, commodities, and certain types
of common stocks were the best
hedges. Bonds, annuities, bank &C
counts, and other fixed-income invest
ments suffered heavily. Hence, by buy
ing into most fire insurance compan-
les, the investor is getting at least a
partial hedge against initiation. Fur
thermore, the underwriting end of the
fire insurance business did not suf-
fer too much under initiation. AS soon
as there became definite signs of Sc
rious trouble ahead, companies re-
fused to write insurance for more
than one year. Then they were in a
position to increase rates almost as
rapidly as currency deprecated.
AS building costs rapidly mount
under initiation, property owners
place more insurance as they renew
each year. This boosts the volume of |
business. The number of fires also |
drop sharply. This reduces the losses. |
AS policies are for definite amounts,
few cases are taken to court. Settle
ments are made Immediately after the
fires, thus avoiding legal difficulties.
All in all, therefore, l feel that fire
insurance stocks offer good protec-
ton against initiation, economic re-
forms, social changes, and the like.
Naturally, l do not wish to make any |
blanket recommendation, but do sug
gest that investors conside this group |
carefully. The chief drawback is that |
few of the best insurance stocks are |
listed on the New York Stock Ex-
change.

Winston-Salem, May 28.-In my 30
odd wears Of investment experience
do not recall any period when inves-
tors were more perplexed and con-
cerned than at present. How can one
he sure about anything these days,
Mr. Babson?" is a question that I
heard on every hand this past week.
As thoughtful readers realize, this
country is going through a period of
great social and economic change. To
invest successfully under today's con-
dtions requires a wide background of
experience, a wealth of information
and plenty of good fortune.
For the first time in my life l am
holding more common stocks than
bonds The reason for this is that |
fear initiation and its consequent in
Jury to bondholders. My first requisite
in connection with any security for
purchase today is: What protection
against the uncertain future does It
provide? Many investors are so mud
died and confused that they have de-
cided to keep their funds in the bank,
to buy prime bonds, or to purchase
annuities. In my humble judgment
this is an unwise policy. If initiation
surprises you with all your funds in
fixed-income securities, you are
caught like a rat in a trap.
Investors Should Seek Help.
