Many people who do not believe in the Bible have never found out what it says. The way of the transgressor has to be hard in order to stand up under the heavy traffic.

The habit of the fool, be he investing | his money in securities or chancing it on a race horse, is to rush in blindly and take a chance, whether or not he has sufficient | knowledge and, information to justify his! venture. ~ Gambling wilt hazardous. always be spend his money intelligently. Not so long ago, it was next to impos- sible for any one-save asdinancial wizard ; to find out anything definite about the! ; condition of a corporation. tirely different situation obtains. Cor- porations have found that it pays excellent i dividends, in the form of public good will, | to make their reports simple, complete and ; The Securities and | promulgated | easily understandable. Exchange Commission has rules under which any corporation offer- ing securities for sale must make available to the public exhaustive information con- cerning its condition. And the nation’s leadirg stock exchanges have gone to great lengths on their own account to eli- minate abuses and questionable practices, and to aid the invester who is foresighted enough to investigate before he buys. Whether you purchase five shares of stock or ten thousand, obtain all the infor- | mation you can concerning the company in which you are interested, and analyze it. Remember the fool and his money! THE MOST DANGEROUS PLACES The most dangerous place you can be in the ordinary course of existence is in an automobile. The second most dangerous place is in your home. These deductions are made from figures recently released by the National Safety Council, covering the accident record during 1935, when accidents caused more than 100,000 deaths. Automobiles accounted for 37,000 of the total—an all- time high record—and home accidents for around 31,000. It is a sad commentary on-the habits of the American people that easily avoid- able home accidents cause more injuries and deaths than industrial accidents. The average American industry has made as- tonishing strides in reducing both the fre- quency and Severity of accidents. Part of this achievement followed better guarding of machinery. But the most important cause of the reduction was the instillation of a philosophy of carefulness in the work- men. At home and on the road, the man who wouldn't think of taking a chance at his work, apparently feels free of such “inhibitions.” The driving errors that cause motor accidents are well known. Not so well known are the principal causes of home accidents. Falling out of win- dows, slipping in the bathtub, falling down- ‘ampering with electrical equip- ment—these are sources of thousands of deaths and injuries each year. These figures should make you think —and think more than once. The hospital and the morgue await those who are thoughtless, careless and reckless. THEIR REAL NAMES Most of the leading movie and radio stars would not be recognized by their ad- mirers if they should use their real names in the advertisement of a picture or broad- cast.

All of these projects are what are known as multi-purpose projects. The | Tv.A, project, for example, is in- tended to provide protection against floods, to improve navigation on the Tennessee River, to generate elec- trical energy, to increase the fertility of the soil, and to promote the eco- ! nomic and social weli-being of the | people of the Tennessee Valley. The Boulder Dam project, on the other hand, was undertaken primarily to supply water for domestic use and si 1 for irrigation purposes to cities and| pose—to wit, the generation of elec- farms in Southern California.

In establishing these vast hydro- electric undertakings in various sec- tions of the country much has been as “yardsticks.” But the advocates of the yardstick theory do not make it clear what the yardrtics will be used to measure. Will it be used to mea- sure the reasonableness of the rates charged by private utilities, and thus make easier the task of the regu- latory commissions entrusted with the duty of establishing rates for util- ity service? Or will it be used to mea- sure the cost to the government of generating electrical energy as com- pared with the cost to private enter- prise? These are, of course, quite different uses of the yardstick. The first use assumes the retention of private en- terprise, the object being to make it contemplates the substitution of gov- ernment enterprise for private. prove to be an unsatisfactory, yard- stick.
