The New York City water
consumption record is 148 gal
lons per person daily. This is
about five times the amount of
water consumed daily by the av
erage Londoner. Some British
commentators are using this fact
as a basis for chiding New York
ers for a careless use of water.
These gentlemen should keep in
mind that Londoners do not have
anything like the facilities for
using water New Yorkers have.
There are probably twenty bath
tubs in New York for every one
in London. Also, about 100 New
Yorkers use shower baths com
pared to one Londoner. Besides,
the New Yorkers drink a lot of
water. The average Londoner is
more inclined to quench his
thirst with ale.
Predicting Sex
A German physician, Dr. Wil
helm Witzel, claims he can fore
tell the sex of an expected child
by looking in the eyes of a mother-to-be.
Doctor Witzel says the
eyes of an expectant mother
change and the changes vary ac
cording to the sex of the baby.
This claim is being checked by
United States army medical offi
cers in Germany. The doctor has
been permitted to gaze into the
eyes of thirty-five expectant
mothers and has in each case
stated what he predicts the sex
of the coming child will be. A
report on the results is due soon.
Please Note
An expert who says his state
ment is based on United States
weather bureau data reports
that the windiest city in this
country is New York. The hot
test city is Kansas City, Mo., the
coldest, Minneapolis. Also, says
he, Santa Fe, N. M., has the most
sunshine of any town in the U. S.
A., and Miami, Fla., the most
thunderstorms.
Aiking
Queries from clients. Q. In an
account of Mary Garden's return
to Scotland I see it stated that
she is "American - born." I
thought she was born in Aber
deen, Scotland. A. Mary was
born in Aberdeen but was
brought to this country by her
parents when six years old. She
first lived in Chicopee, Mass.,
then Hartford, Conn. After that
in Chicago where she made her
debut as a singer at the age of
16 in Gilbert & Sullivan's "Trial
By Jury." Q. Are you familiar
with a poem referring to the
cold, flat "duty" kisses the aver
age husband gives his wife when
leaving for the office? A. You
seem a trifle bitter about this
matter. Only poem I know of
dealing with it is one by Inge
borg Hoerner:
Of all life's torment
Lord, spare me this
The quiet sting
Of a dutiful kiss.
Among the Married
When Myrna Loy informed her
current husband, Gene Markey,
that she had decided on a di
vorce she did so over the tele
phone, from Hollywood to Lon
don, The conversation lasted
thirty minutes. I am a great ad
mirer of Miss Loy's acting. I
would like to see her happily
married. She was born under the
sign of Leo. In a forthcoming
issue I shall quote what the star
gazers have to say about the
handling of a Leo woman. I
shall also report what our Horses
At Women experts say as to what
makes a woman of Myrna's gen
eral characteristics happy. I trust
these helpful hints will prove
beneficial to Miss Loy's next
husband.
Horses and Women
I have continually claimed
that one of the major causes of
unhappy marriages and subse
quent divorce is the practice of
so many people saying to single
young women, between the ages
of 24 and 28: "What, not mar
ried yet?" Innumerable young
women trying to wait for the
right man to come along get so
weary of having this question
tossed at them that in despera
tion they will marry almost any
body for the sake of being free
from this highly irritating query.
Phone 2-6419
O. E. Job, 2370 Houiton road,
Nuriet' Training school In San
Illlllllllllllllllllllllll,
IIIIIIMIIIIIII
That is, these harassed young
women accept practically any
man who proposes. Naturally
the marriage is usually a failure.
Why not let the bachclorettes
alone? Don't rush them into a
matrimonial failure by the high
ly personal query aforemen
tioned. Longevity
The people of Nebraska live
longer on the average than those
of any other state. So boasts an
Omaha subscriber. What he says
is true. However, I challenge
this subscriber or any other Ne
braskan to name a native of
their state who can top the rec
ord of John R. Voorhis, of New
York city. Mr. Voorhis was born
at 738 Greenwich street, New
York city, and lived there all
his life. He died at the age of
101. Now let this Omaha client
name a Nebraskan who lived 101
years In the same house. If he
can do so he does not have to
send me a stogie.

MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THIRTEEN
Babson Discusses
By Roger W. Babson
Babson Park, Fla., Feb. 3
Many letters have come to me
asking that I suggest an invest-
in e n t which
combines: (1)
proper diversi
fication; (2) an
inflation hedge
based upon low
cost compared
with liquidat
ing value; (3)
a fair interest
yield, and (4)
freedom from
labor troubles.
av.i
this last is
very important. After consider
able thought, I recommend
stocks of good long established
fire insurance companies, and
herewith are my reasons. Any of
these stocks can be purchased
through your local bank.
1. Insurance companies are
actually well diversified and bal
anced "investment trusts" with
a second source of earnings from
the insurance business. This sec
ond source will often produce as
much income as the stocks and
bonds which the company owns.
Furthermore, the purchasers of
this form of investment trust
should receive more income
and certainly more security
than by the direct purchase of
most securities. For instance, the
Home Insurance company, the
stock of which sells at S35 a
share, has invested assets of $60
a share.
2. Fire insurance stocks arc
selling at a low ratio to liquidat
ing value. To take the ease of
the Home Insurance company
again as an example, it is sell
ing at about 85 per cent of its
current liquidating value. Since
1935 the average annual range
for all fire insurance compan
ies has been less than the liquid
ating value. As most fire insur
ance companies have a portfolio
of good common stocks, they
should be a fair Inflation hedge.
Ratio of Dividends
Below Normal Average
3. Generally dividends on fire
insurance stocks gradually in
crease. The ratio of dividends
paid to investment income re
ceived is below the normal aver
age for other classes of stocks.
This shows conservative manage
ment. The leveling off of prem
iums will stop the drain on sur
plus and permit greater divi
d c n d s. Increasing dividends
should cause increasing market
prices.
4. There are cycles in the in
surance business. The cycle now
is that of a period of good earn
ings, which give a yield between
4 per cent and 5 per cent al
though a large part of the as
sets are in government bonds.
Perhaps never before in history
has property been so nearly in
sured to full value. The rates are
not ordinarily reduced until five-year-average
results demonstrate
them to be too high. When rates
again begin to be reduced andor
fire losses increase, dividends
and prices of fire insurance
slocks may again decline for a
period.
Labor Troubles Direct
Attention To Advantage
5. A period of labor troubles
such as we are witnessing today
should direct attention to the
advantage of insurance company
slocks. The cost of labor for the
insurance industry is around 10
per cent of the volume of busi
ness. This compares with a labor
cost of from 40 per cent to 50
per cent in most industries.
This gives a great advantage to
fire insurance companies.
Any increased labor costs go
into the expenses and arc taken
into consideration in the fixing
of rates as well as in the pay
ment of taxes. If drastic labor
trouble should occur, this type
of company, having a small in
vestment in plant, can be moved
to a new locality. But the per
centage of labor cost is so small,
this is seldom necessary.
Ultra-Conservative Should
Buy Stock In Ten Companies
I use the Home as an illustra
tion because it is the largest in
the United States in total admit
ted assets and in premiums writ
ten, although only the fourth in
policyholders surplus. I happen
to be a director and have great
confidence in its president, Har
old V. Smith. Also, there are oth
er good companies such as Great
American, American of Newark,
Firemen's of Newark, Aetna, Na
tional Fire, Continental, Fidell-ly-Phenix,
Insurance Company of
North America, Springfield Fire
& Marine,
If you are ultra-conservative,
buy some stock in all ten com
panies. Then you should have
the best possible combination of
safety and income. Another sug
gestion is that you look at your
insurance policies. It you find
