STOP KILLING YOURSELF
What's Best Aqe
To Have Child?
BY DR.. PETER J. STEINcRoHN

When my children were
young, my husband and l
were also very young. We
were unsettled, restless, NOV
ing from place to place and,
really, a couple of kids trying
to raise a couple Of kids!
1t seems to me that very
often children of older parents
are born to perople who are
at an age to appreciate them,
impart the real values of life,
and give them a strong home
background.
If l had young children now,
l think l would be so much
more ready to accept them
and value them than / was at
the age of 10.
Maybe it's just my magma
ton. but children Of older par
ents often appear to me to be
more poised, more at ease,
more fundamentally sound.
Such qualities are impaired to
them by parents who are
mature themselves and who
know life's real values

Gam l too old to have a
baby?"
That is the question one
hears most from women who
have not been blessed with
children in their younger
years. Either because of a
late marriage or because they
have been unable to become
pregnant earlier, they are
now hesitant to have a child
when they are in their late
sos or early 4Os.
Here is the other side of the
coin. A letter from a woman
who believes that children do
not get the good breaks if
they are born to very young
parents:
Dear DR.. Steincrohn: l fl
nally could not resist writing
to you with regard to babies
born late in life in contrast to
those born to young parents.
Most of the letters / have
seen in your column seem to
express the feeling that these
babies born late in life do not
have as good a life as those
born to young parents. l
strongly differ with this view.
l am 40 years old, have two
grown children, the older is
81, and two grandchildren.
Luckily, l have an interesting
career and although my fami-
ly is raised, my life is a full,
interesting and challenging
one. l have, however, felt that
the first eight or 10 years of
my children'S lives were not
good ones compared with the
stable, secure existence older
parents can give their off
spring.

The Slow Dollar

There is a new man emery

Street. He is as sleek as the
old-time broker. but not as
slick. The new one Is not in

fluctuations of the market,
and never aims for a killing.

agement.
It's a slow dollar, but a
very fat one.
OTTO MARX, Jr., epito-
mics the new breed. He Is 81,
a man with the sun-squinted
eyes of the sailor and some
gray on top. Unfortunately,
Marx comes from a family to
whom success in life is a mo-
notonouS fact. Otto, ST., for
example, died last May at the
age of SO, and no one ever
heard him applaud any of the
family for becoming tOp-flight
attorneys, businessmen, or
brokers. 1t was expected.
The old man was so sue
ceSSful as a cotton broker, a
tycoon in dry goods, an inves-
tor in Southern real estate,
and the Electric Boat COmpa-
ny, that in Birmingham, when
the name Marx is mentioned,
businessmen assume you are
referring to the father. He
wanted none of his children in
business with him, and adj
viSed them to paddle their
own canoes, if they could find
canoes. And paddles.
Otto Junior went to Wall
Street and studied under Sid
ney Weinberg Of Goldman
Sachs. He made his best
move when he married the at
tractive Page Maxfield of the
Virginia Maxfields. In the
war, Marx was a naval Off
Ger and commanded DELFT,
the USS Raybold. When it was
over, he borrowed $10O, 900
from his father to open a
business in Wall Street.
Marx Senior was anxious to
see what his son would do
with such a gold-plated pad
die. He didn't have long to
wait. Otto secuted the Wall
Street firms like a woman
lingering a rack full Of bar
gain dresses. After a time, he
decided to manage his ia
theirs New York office. It was
an investment business, but
Marx decided to make the
firm full members Of the big
brokerage exchanges. Still la
ter, he became a partner Of
Ladenburg, Thalmann, invest
ment bankers.
Father, of course, wanted to
know how his 100000 was
doing. In a way, Otto Marx
was too busy to explain. Also,
the money was too busy to be
returned. The son had discov-
cred something which such
firms as Kuhn Loeb, Goldman
Sachs, and the engineering
firm Of Coverdale and ColpittS
had learned years before:
