BABSON PARKS, Mass. — At
first thought it would seem im-
possible to buy General Electric
or any other stock on a given
day for perhaps 20 per cent less
than its quotation in your daily
newspaper. Yet there are times
when this can be done if bought
in conjuction with other good
listed stocks at the same time.
To do this you must buy the
stock of an Investment Trust.
But first let me explain the dif-
ference between the two groups
of Investment Trusts.
Open-End Trusts
These Trusts are often limit-
ed to owning certain groups of
Securities. Some of them buy
only bonds; others buy only list-
ed stocks which pay dividends;
and others confine themselves to
definite industries such as the
railroads, or the utilities, or the
industrials. The total quantity
of securities which they hold
may increase or decrease, ac-
cording to the amount of mon-
ey the Trust obtains from or re-
funds to its shareholders; but
the relationship between the se-
curities held for investment and
(Ross,

Trust but through a Stock Ex-
change from someone w h o
wants to sell. Similarly. you
sell the shares of a Closed-end
Trust, not back to the Trust,
but through a Stock Exchange
where your broker finds some-
one to buy them. This means
you might lose money when sell-
ing at a greater discount from
each share's asset value than
when you bought; Init converse-
ly. you are likely to get some
bargains when buying such
shares.
For instance, your broker
could give the names of two or
three Investment Trusts— with
good managements — where the
market value of the holdings is
over 20 percent above the price
which you would need to pay for
the stock of the Investment
Trust. This means that by buy-
ing such Trust stock you indi-
rectly buy at a big discount the
stocks which it holds. Why
more people do not avail them-
selves of these bargains is be-
yond me.

the goat" of successful mature
businessmen and experienced
lawyers to have to go to Phila-
I delphia and "sit on a hard
I. E. McKelvey this week re-
ceived a letter from Flight Of-
ficer Chester W. Moi;in, serving
overseas with the 451st Bomb
Squadron telling of his activi-
ties and assuring Mr. McKelvey
that he was avenging the name
of his late sen, Quinn, an avia-
tion cadet who was killed on
routine flight out of Blaekland
Field, Waco, on Oct. 4.
The boys were students to-
gether at the University of Ark-
ansas and were at the San An-
tonio cadet center together, con-
tinuing their training. Quinn
was to have received his wings
only a few days after the
fatal crash. FO Morin is a nav-
igator flying in France.
The letter follows in part:
"Since my last writing I have
fulfilled my desire to deliver a
load to the Huns for Quinn. My
first attempt was foiled when
we were forced to abandon our
ship by parachute, but close as
the escape from fatality was for
me, I was back the next day.
"by all reasoning, I
shouldn't be here today
though. I don't know, hut
regardless, I'm continuing
to fulfill my duties to the
best of my ability. That, I
am sure, is just what you
are doing in perhaps a dif-
ferent way, hut an equally
important one. Mr. McKelvey
it's the gasoline that keeps
us in the fight, so cheer up,
keep it coming and we'll
put an end to this thing at
the earliest possible mo-
ment.
"1 know you are grieved at
your loss, but it wasn't in vain,
believe me. Quinn was the best
friend I ever had anil I've tried
to understand why such a good,
honest sincere fellow should be
taken from us. 1 have also tried,
but in vain, to understand why
my pilot and one of the gunners
didn't get out of our ship safely,
because I was last out and
should have been the loser if
there was to be one. Such mat-
ters are beyond my comprehen-
sion and everyone elses, too, in
my opinion.
"There must be, and I am con-
vinced that there is, a power
over us, God, who is responsible.
We can't see why he brings such
unhappiness when he is report
ed to lie so kind and merciful;
but at the same time, we must
trust and believe in Him.
"I'm sorry to be reminding
you of the tragedy again, for its
best, it be forgotten. I will never
forget. Quinn and offer the fol-
lowing poem in his memory. The
poem was captioned "The Last
Flight."

PROVIDE A FLUE
for Venting Gas Heating
Modern Gas Heating requires a flue so it can be vented. Only when
heating is vented are wall sweating and stuffy air eliminated. So in
your modernizing or new home building plans be sure to include
enough flues for venting the heating. Sketch below shows how flue "
can be built in chimney for venting modern floor furnace. Such a
flue or "thimble" should be a part of every fireplace and chimney.
