IS THE MARKET
TJIiC ni8Hii.oi small investors and speculators who htive'r iishrO
into the stock uun-krt dtirint; the past few years 11 re them
selves to Illume for the collapse of security values which swept
nwny their holdings, in the opinion of Knincis II. Sisson, widely
known N'ew York economist mid hanker. .
"The small investor is, to n lnriie extent, the victim of his
owii imagination," says Mr. Sisson in an analysis of the marltfft
decline published in the current issue of the Review of Reviews.
"To suppose that the selling Wave of the past few weeks
Was due to adverse developments of correspoiiditiK importance
in the Keneral business situation' would lie a fundamental er
ror," he adds, eslimaliiifr that "even in the absence of a pro
nounced increase in recent wciks, the ijencral level of industrial
operations npiieiirs to lie approximately equal to, or )nss'''l'
slij,'ht)y above, thai of a year iij;o." . ' " ' , '
..'
TRA(;i.'(f the plicnomenal rise in slock values which reached
its peak soon before lire crash, Air. Sisson observes that a
part of it was justified by the real progress of the nation 'u
business. "Hut this 'normal iovenrent; was immensely exasper
ated by the changed character of the investing public," he adds
-Millions of; persons who had never before considered such
speculation Were aUracled to Hie market by the fact that they
had. surplus incomes for the first time, he says, tind security
dealers established branches throughout the country to profit
by this now imirket.
'.'Thus (lie public that has lo n considerably extent deter
mined thp course of the market in the last few years is a public
uninformed as to intelligent 'procedure: in buying securilies."
his Review of Review article continues.
"The small investor's attitude towavd the market seems !o
bhve. been based on the view lhat there was no limit to the pro
cess 'of increasing corporate carniuji's,veinveslinjr the profits,
and thus still further increasing earnings. Hut the counlry's
business concerns obviously cannot go on indefinitely fulfilling
the demands of public imaginiitiour . ,
"When the realization filially came lhat priifs of many se
curilv.'s were out of all proportion to any prospective' earning
power, the reaction was similarly exaggerated. Not only did
I he fear of Iuks impel a rush of liipiidalion, but the disorder
was increased by the fact that innumerable small speculators,
mliible to supplement their impaired' margins were precipilalcd
into the market as sellers against their wills."
' This new investing class, or a large proportion of it, will
continue to figure in ihe market in the future, however, Mr.
Sisson believes.' lie adds that "there is a likelihood of improve
ment will) the gradual education of the investing public in busi
ness conditions and in' market, behavior." In his opinion the
inarkcl is coming back. ' ,
THE FORTY-NINTH
AI'ACT not appreciated by one American iii leu is that the
federal government .still controls an rtcii of 2!)(i,873 square
miles in public lands, comprising an undefined "forty-ninth
stale" as large as Texas and a half dozen small eastern slates
combined. Hut this "forty-ninth slate" will occupy public at
tMi'titnl sooit for it is President Hoover's policy lo transfer con
trol of the vast area from the federal government to the sepa
rate stales in which tjie hinds are located. '
Secretary of the Interior Wilbur explains the 1'rcsident's
purpose.
' "The plain and alarming fact is that, owing to many factors
including division of authority between state and federal gov
ernments, the 20 years since the public land rppovt under Roose
velt lias shown deterioration of these lands," he says. "Ther.
is more likelihood that real eoilccrvatioh and protection will
result from local control and local management."
" '
ALTlIOKlill most of these public domains, located in eleven
far western states- are composed of the mountain ranges
and desert lands, it docs not follow Unit they aVe waste lands:
on the contrary, they are of increasing importance, says Secre
tary 'Wilbur.' ' s
The agricultural and grazing lands of the valleys depend
almost entirely on the mouuliiin watersheds for their waicr
supply, he points out, while mining, grazing and foresting oper
ations oli the mountains have already threatened to destroy this
supply in some sections. State control of such lands would en
able each state to achieve a balance between its agricultural
and mining and foresting interests which would solve the prob
lem, hp believes.'
. Also, so long ns the lauds remain under federal control, says
S'oerctavy Wilbur, the slates will lake no steps to develop them
its public parks and reservations.
"Recreation has become of outstanding significance in the
life of the naliou,"lie says. "The mounlains, forest ami desert
and the great open places are necessary for recreation. Hut
rccreiilion must 1I based on Ihe
ural conditions prevailing in these regions. "' ' ''

P. S. Phenol Is not an acid., If

please refrain from calling phenol

And of course I had to rise to

TI10 Bran Obsession.
I have been eating bran 'for the
last , eight weeks every morning
and J feel fine. Father says he
read an article 'by you nssertlng
that bran will, form a dump in the
stoma civ or Intestine and necessi
tate an operation. Ho also says
(oh his own account) that it is
very heating tot the blood in sum
mer. I have been using the . . .
bran. (K. H. O.)
Answer. Father got my stuff
mixed up with tho almanac or
something. It would be ridiculous
to Jmagino that bran, would do
such things. Jlran Is not heating
to the blood, but perhaps tho pro
prietary cereal you' eat Is some
what heating In summer. I rec
ommend only ordinary wheat
bran.
Meningitis.
"Vhht Is tho cause of meningitis,
spinal meningitis? (R. C. H.)
Answer. Meningitis Is Inflam
mation of membranes covering
brain or splnnl cord. It may bo
caused by any germ Infection. But
epidemic ccrehro-spinnl meningitis
is caused by ft specific dlplococcus
that seems to be transmitted from
one person to another In the no?p
or throat discharge," much ns is
diphtheria or scniiet fever. . .
Olive or Cod. , .
Is olive oil more fattening than
cod liver oil? How much should
one take every day? Does warm
ing sweet milk destroy any of
the vitamins, in it?f,(M.
Answer. Cod liver oil . is the
more fattening. Take a tnble
slmonful daily. Merely warming
milk (not above' body or blood
temperature) does not destroy
vitamins; pasteurizing destroys
vitamins that is heating milk up
to l-ili degree, l- for.ifo minutes.
So does boiling.
