BABSON DISCUSSES BONDS & INTEREST RATES

utilities and industrials than into
rails.
Bonds For Ordinary Investors
The average investor to whom
yield is important would be JUST
fed in putting small part of his
bond funds into medium grade
utility and industrial issues. On
long-term issues of such bonds, he
can now obtain yield of about
3.75 per cent on rails, 1853 per
cent on industrials, and 1862 per
cent on utilities. But at these yields,
| prefer nontaxable bonds, such
as municipals and high-grade reve-
nue. issues for those who are in
the high tax brackets and who do
not worry about marketability.
| would recommend that pur-
chases of medium-grade corpor-
alton bonds be confined to first
mortgage is.Sues. Medium grade
bonds are. influenced in price move
ment by what happens in the stock
market. In no case should the aver
age investor place any of his funds
intended as a nest egg for later
purchase of stocks in otter than
short-term high-grade issues. even
though he NAV have to m2tza some
sacrifice of yield.
Convertible Bonds
Ordinarily. | like 70 recommend
convertible bonds to my readers:
but in view of uncertainties in the
stock market it is questionable
whether verv ranv purchases I'm

Again 7 recommend to individuals

T. Coleman Andrews, the former

NO REASON FOR HASTE

Speaking editorially, the New York
Times recently had something extremely
worthwhile to say on the subject of the de-
velopment of nuclear power for peaceful pur-
poses
IF we have been slower than Britain or
Soviet Russia in developing and introducing
nucear power" the Times observes, sit is
because of our favorable economic situation
We have enormous deposits of COAL Nuclear
power is still costly; coal power is cheap.
Hence there is no reason for haste"
Moreover, this paper continues, There
is no such thing as standard reactor-that
is, furnace in which heat is generated and
turned into energy to drive a conventional
turbine and generator" There are instead
many different kinds of reactor designs-all
highly experimental all unproven as yet
The Times ended its editorial in these words:
(Which type of reactor shall we build? There
are arguments for and against each of these
types, for which reason we shall have to ex-
pertinent with ALL"
The Times remark cover the main points
of the powerful case against a "crash" pro-
gram of developing atoms for peace. Such
program would, by its very nature be enor-
mously wasteful, simply because not enough
is knowG as yet about this extremely COM
plex matter. If we were in dire need of new
sources of energy-as England is for in
stance, We would have no choice. We are for
tunate in having conventional energy sources
in abundance Thus, we can conduct an or
derly atomic program-a program that will
ultimately produce maximum result at min
imum cost

TWO REVOLUTIONS

Every school child learns of the indus
trial revolution-a revolution that utterly
transformed mans way of manufacturing
goods of every kind. The agricultural revo-
luton has been equally thorough-going-
and should be given equal attention.
A Boston bank sums up what has occur
red in a single century. One hundred years
ago two-thirds of all the workers in this
country devoted their efforts to producing
our food and fiber. Now that production is
accomplished by only 10 per cent of the
working population. Thus, 80 per cent of all
workers can turn to doing other jobs and
making and processing and distributing
other things. That is one reason for Ameri-
can material abundance American liv-
ing standards.
This almost unbelievable change has
been brought about by better farming tools
and methods. Among them mechanical
farm equipment dominates. 1t is not too
much to say that the first workable tractor
ended one era and began another. Then came
all the other modern machines and attach
ments, to make possible production at maxi
mum efficiency with minimum labor-and to
provide the means for conserving the land
for the future.
The industrial revolution continues, with
ever-improving tools and techniques. So, in
exactly the same way, does the agricultural
revolution, thanks to farm equipment and
the other aids.

BUSINESSMEN ALOFT

One of Americas great corporations re-
Gently placed an order for three jet planes
to be used by its executives. At present, this
corporation operates fleet of five piston
engine planes. It's activities in this field
serve to underscore the growing Importance
of business flying.
Last year, the Civil Aeronautics Admin
istration reports business planes flew an
estimated 100000 hours In terms of hours,
though not of distance, that was more flying
than was done by all the domestic airlines
put together. 1t was an increase of 800 per
cent in business flying since 1916. A similar
increase during the next decade would bring
business flying to about 13 million hours an
nually.
Think of that figure alongside the newt
able jump in military, private and CONNER
cial flying, and you have some idea of how
crowded the skyways are going to be in an
other decade. 1t all adds up to further
warning that broad steps must be taken to
improve our air traffic control system before
traffic gets out of hand.

How valuable is local newspaper adver-

tion which represents a traditionally hard
headed profession, has to say: mo business
man or woman in any town should allow a
newspaper to go to press without his or her
name and business being mentioned some
where in its columns. This does not mean you

per but your name and address should be
mentioned if you do not use more than a
two-line space.

Its the most important asset AT

popular young male student "lf :
she happens to be good lookings

beautiful girls depend on their

Pretty girls. he says. are not

they think the world owes them
some sort of special alteration. III

are usually bad sports. "The mere

he says. seems to make them de1f

His examples include swiinmingS
skating, skiing. 81
"Oh, yes they'll sit around in a.
bathing suit and look pretty but
they don't want to get their hair
wet or ruin their makeup" he
says. ALSO they may corral the
most tremendous wardrobe, riding
clothes, ski stuff, skating skirts
that are worn like fashion show
rather than to contribute to the
activity planned for them. fu
This young man seems to feel

that she makes sincere effort to-
be gay on date. and that IL just

leaders, Bal Gangadhur Tilak,
the predecessor of Gandhi.
Tilak carried on his cam
paign through his newspapers,
which were strongly critical of
the British rulers of India. In
1897 he was sentenced to ID
months imprisonment for Sc
dition.
His revolutionary wing Of
the Indian National Congress
won control in 1907. The fol-
lowing year he was again con-
victed of Sedition. This time
the sentence was six years in
a Burma prison. Tilak used his
enforced leisure to produce
books which placed him among
the foremost scholars Of the
day.
From his release in 1914
until the coming of Gandhi he
was the leader of the nation

bers of the Washington NJ
miSmGtic Society:
The governmental and none
tary system of the Roman
Republic functioned well
enough to make Rome the
first power, and later the only
power in the then-known
world. But it carried the seeds
of its own destruction.
After a few decades of dog
eat-dog warfare and the MUIR
der of the great julius Caesar.
the Roman world fell by de-
fault into the cold hands OF
Octavianus Augustus, the first
emperor.
Some Of his successors were
honorable reformers, some
tyrants and madmen, several
of these finding their ignoble
end by the cold steel of assas-
sins. The coinage, however,
flourished and some of the best
specimens of Roman art can
still be enjoyed in the imperial
denarii and large bronzes.
In fact, the frequent
changes upon the throne were
incentives for the engravers to
show greater variety in the
coinage. The portraits of the
