October 22. 1956 Women Don't Have Knack of Stock Market, Expert Says By GAY PAULEY United Press Correspondent New York (U.PJ A female financial expert (aid today that women don't have the knark of making a killing on the stock market. "Not that women are stupid," said Mrs. Harriet Gardner Pal mer, whose maxim is "hardly anything is more fun than mak ing money." She said a woman usually does all right with the household pennies. And women frequently make big salaries in business and the professions. In thee cases, she said, women are deal ing with tangibles. "But playing the stock mar ket calls for mathematical de duction, for thinking in abstract terms," Mrs. Palmer said. "In these, the men excel. Our brains seem to operate different ly from theirs. Women do not take naturally to weighing some thing vague and only guessed at, against something else that has abstract qualities." Women Do Paper Work Mrs. Palmer, an old-timer on Wall Street, said "thirking through" on stock investments involved all sorts of abstractions how a stock's value will be affected by, say, the threat of a strike in the steel industry, or by a new action of the Federal Reserve Board. "Wall Street is swarming with women," said Mrs. Palmer. "But you know where they are . . -they're clerks, secretaries, sales women. They're doing the paper work. The men are the ones in the big money." But she immediately offered encouragement to all the gals eyeing the potential gold in stock transactions. "Women CAN learn how to in vest," she said. "I'm an example of what I mean." Mrs. Palmer, a brisk little woman in her 50s, started learn ing the basics of high finance by working as stenographer and bookkeeper In Wall Street dur ing the early 1920s. "Handling all that ticker tape gave me ideas," she said. It wasn't long until she was purchasing securities "on bor rowed money,' she said. Always Borrowed "I always borrowed. But for heavens sake don't advise other women to do the same for in vestment purposes. It can be deadly. You have to know what you're doing." Eventually, Mrs. Palmer and her husband, Harold, formed their own underwriting concern in the financial district. She since has been a partner in sev eral firms and an officer of a large East Coast timber company owned a big chunk of stock. They retired in 1949 and "are living quite comfortably, thank you, on our investments." said Mrs. Palmer. They live in Georgetown, Conn. Mrs. Palmer has put some of her findings in a book called "How To Become a Woman of Property" Henry Holt company, which will be published Novem ber 5. First Session Held By Jefferson PTA Jefferson Parent-Teacher asso ciation convened October 12 for the first meeting of the school season. Mrs. Fred J. Simcox, unit president, presiding over the meeting. Other officers intro duced were the vice president, Mrs. E. H. Pesenti; secretary, Mrs. Ira V. Lawrence; treasurer, Mrs. Dale Franklin. Committee chairmen are Mrs. Bill Barnes, membership; Mrs. Mike G. Wager, hospitality; Mrs. Lawrence W. Buonocore, ways and means; Mrs. A. L. Nash, room representative; Mrs. Lee Bray, publicity. As an incentive for a large at tendance of mothers, a room count is taken at meetings. The room represented by the most mothers receives as an award a View Master, with extra films. Mrs. William C. Stoughton's first grade had the greatest number of parents in attend ance, and Mrs. A. L. Nash made the presentation to Mrs. Stough ton. Should the same room win three times in succession, it auto matically will keep the View Master, and another will be purchased. Albert Huntemarin, band in structor, asked the PTA to con sider buying one new instrument a year.
