HE CAN AND CAN'T.
“ He was a. traveling salesman for
"a hardware firm, and had been hurt
in a. railroad accident. As he
clumped along several weeks later
. on his crutches, a. friend shook him
v film the hand and said:
"Can’ t you get along without your
, crutches?"
“Well, my doctor says I can." he
hhuckled. "but my lawyer says I
can‘t."
Quick or Dead
_...___.
Is your child quick—0r dead?
« One or the other he must be. ac-
cording to Coroner Oscar “7011': of
«Cook County. 111.. where reckless
autoists take the largest toll of child
life in the United States.
; And, fathers and mothers. the
’responsibility rests with you. as well
‘11s with the automobile drivers, the
coroner says in a. warning issued in
connection with National Safety
Week.
Here is what he says you must do
'to protect your children:
' 1. Keep your boys and girls
of! the'sirocts. That means you
must not send them on errands
across streets or permit them to
.. play where automobiles travel.
‘ 2. \Vam them daily of the
dangers of traffic.
'3. Escort the youngest. to
school, thus personally teaching-
thcm the hazards of the streets.
“0! 19,000 persons killed by auto-
mobiles in the United States in 1924.
.5300 were children," said Coroner
oil! in his warning. “The over-
whelming majority of these young-
' ¥sters were killed while engaged in
unnlng errands or going to and from
school. In Cook County's huge toil
for six months, only three children
were killed while playing in the
- streets.
' "If this slaughter is not stopped,
-mothers soon will have to send their
' hlldren to the grocery in taxicabs
’in order to insure their safe return. "
. What the coroner says of Cook
County, 111., is equally true of this
state and this city. The price of
uarding the younger children from
reckless autoists, is constant vigil-
ance. plus making them realize their
eril.

Editor, The Evening Sentinel.
The letter of Mr. 0. F. Schultze.
published on your Booster Pagelast
,Friday evening. was very interesting
and is something for every business
man. as well as every resident. to
absorb. Nor-walk can be'lnade the

York. The Manufacturers. Retail
Merchants and Residents should co-
operate in their effort with The Eve~
ning Sentinel to tell the world who
we are, what we are, and where we

The writer is indeed pleased to
know that Mr. 0. F. Sehuitze has
been very successful in business and
is very well thought of socially. and
his methods to attain this position
are something to pattern after.

Herriot himself. like Ramsay Mac-

has grown a monster of vanity and
nerves; this honest. simple follow,
as he was before his power. can nei-
ther tolerable opposition nor accept
counsel. In public he is as peevish
and naughty as a prime. donna: in
private he is as inaccessible even to
his former friends as the Grand Mo-
gul. or ,Lloyd George in the last
phase. Instead of keeping a moral
inaccessibility which would have ex-
cused this. he has descended to
transactions to keep the power which
was ruining him. which for their
gcenrosity in extent and baseness in
quality are remarkable even in Paris.

the Mathews estate was known. was
completed. Into it LeGrand Lock-
wood and his family moved. after an
expenditure of about a. million and
a. quarter dollars.
For this sum there was to be a
short period of happiness for the
family—a short time in which. with
his fortune still waxing. he was to
fulfill his dream of living. almost as
in a feudal castle, in the town at his
birth.
Respected and honored alike. by
townspeople and national leaders.
LeGrand Lockwood was in his home
but one year. when the twenty-fifth
anniversary of his marriage was ob-
served. on June 9, 1867.
And so. as a writer of the time
puts it. “in their Norwalk home.

few. and the event was duly observ-
ed. LeGrand Lockwood at that time
was but 47 years of age. and his wife
three years younger.
For three years more they lived on
in harmony. while LcGrand Lock-
wood purchased art treasures to add
to ills home—«and then came the
crash. ‘

What ‘Tips’ Are Worth
By GmRGE T. RECESS.
(Gopmht. 1925.)
Nearly eevry day some one asks
me what I think about this or that
speculative stock. Now. what they
stock. almost always a more or less
really mean to ask. is not my opin-
ién of the stock but what I think
about the market for the stock
What they want to know is whether
the stock is going up or going down,
and how for and how soon.1 never
tell them. for the very reason that I
don't know and. for that matter. nei-
ther does anybody else!
There are people who make it a
business to give “tips" on stocks, and
sometimes they guess right and
sometimes they guess wrong. but
they are always gamers. As a mat-
ter of fact. it is far more important
for a speculator to know about the
general market tendency than it is
to know about any one particular
stock. Good stocks go down in bear
markets and poor stocks go up in

market is a bull market or a bee:
market is a problem which battle
at times the most experienced of
speculators.
Siamese. for the sake of the argu
ment. that the general course of the
market is evident. it then remains to i
be decided how far the particular
stock the inquire:- has in mind will;
participate in the current upward
or downward swing. as the case may
be. Then there are always unexpect-
ed and unfomeeble developmental
which will nullify the best planned‘
speculative campaign.
All these observations lead .up to
one point: Namely. that the predic-

the speculator. There are a few
common stocks with such long rec-

thus stocks are shares in corpora-

The man who buys them is reasona-

At least that is‘the general role.
