Dangers Of Penny
Stocks illustrated
By Break in Rails
United Business Service
Emphasizes Need for
Careful Study
Special Dispatch to The Star.

BOSTON, March 22-Recent
action of some low-priced stocks,
especially the nose dive in certain
reorganization rail equities, has TO-
cused attention on this section of
the market. 1t has also led to some
rather unwarranted conclusions
about oW-priced shares in general,
according to the United Business
Service.
Two weeks ago Emil Schram. pres
ident of the New York Stock Ex-
change, warned of the dangers of
indiscriminate buying of low-priced
stocks. This warning was fol-
lowed by the sharp slump in certain
rail reorganization stocks-which
incident is being cited by some as
an example of what can happen
to those who put their money into
low-priced shares. Actually these
particular rail stocks had nothing
more between them and absolute
worthlessness than the doubtful
prospect of a favorable Supreme
Court decision. The court found
against them and down they went.
The United Business Service holds
that this is not a Just basis for con-
demning all low-priced shares indis-
criminately. Rather it simply shows
what can happen to rank out-and-
out gamble. There is no denying
that a greater degree of risk is in
volved in purchasing the average
loW-prlced stock than in buying
equities in the higher price brackets.
Yet, it cannot be claimed that the
latter category is free from poten-
TALLY sour situations any more than
it can be said that the former is de-
void of promising ones. Any such
generalization is foOlhardy.
The greatest danger in either case
lies in buying stocks without first
making thoroughgoing study of
their worth. There are more stocks
which would qualify for inclusion in
the average investors portfolio SELL
Ing above 10 than there are selling
below 10. But this does not mean
that the average investor should
avoid all low-priced stocks Just be-
cause they are loW-priced There
are number of examples of good
value in the low priced group-stocks
having real stature-Which have
as much relative intrinsic worth as
many higher priced equities.

My two small children, 2 and
4 years OF age, are going to spend
the winter in Washington. They are
sleeping on Army cots which I have
tried to make attractive by putting
checked gingham covers with q
ruffied valance over them. For the
first time since they were born I am
having trouble getting them to 20
to bed. They do not like these beds
missing their own little cribs-and
/ am quite sure the youngest is
afraid he will fall out as he Is used
to having the sides up on his crib
Can you suggest some way that I
could make them feel safer other
than just putting chairs beside the
bed?
MRS. E. LIB.
Answer-The loss Of their own
beds added to all the other new ad-
]ustments the children have to
make is bound to cause a sense of
insecurity which sideboards on the
bed will help alleviate. But aside
from that you will have to teach
them to realize that these beds are
their own and help them to enjoy
getting into them. I would suggest
that you get enough wooden fencing
to make a foot for the bed and a
short side piece. You will find this
at the building supply houses. It
comes in sections with palings and
the strip which goes at the top and
bottom which must be nailed in
place. Get palings with a rounded
or fiat top, not the peaked ones, as
they would be dangerous If the chill
dren fell against them. Give the
children the idea that they are going
to help make their own beds. Let
them. assist or watch the mailing.
Interest them in watching you paint
the fence. When 1t is dry attach
the fencing close to the foot of the
bed by mailing it into the floor and
the wall. Hinge the side section so
that it swings like a gate from the
wall, at the head, along the side
Of the bed. The children will ac-
quire sense of ownership as they
watch the work being done. When
you put them into bed let them pull
the gate and tie 1t to the side of
the bed so that they get the idea
they are safely tucked in.
