has plenty of manuals and other sources

ties, and was able to obtain the latest
information about corporations in gen.
eral He looked into the situation in this
stock and gave it as his opinion that it
was bought too high. and that the in
weston had altogether too large a pr
portion of his money invested in IL. KS
matter of fact, he advised, without
much qualification, a sale of the entire
200 shares.
The investor felt perfectly convinced
that This advice was sound and ~sS
more and more persuaded that he had
made mistake. What he did was to
go to his broker and put in an order
to sell the 200 shares at 20. Within tns
next week it sold at 50 Is. There It
stopped, and began to 60 down Wien
it reached o. the investor put his selling
order down to 65 When il reached %
he dropped his order to So. A few weeks
passed, and then all of sudden there
was a smash. and in the course of a
very little while the stock dropped to
- 1-2. Always the investors selling or
der was a little bit above the market
1t was finally caught by the market at
- Is. The stock went on down to about
80. and at the time this is written is
moving around in a narrow circle be-
tween that price and 80. me last C1vI-
dend due was not paid. and there has
been more or less of a scandal in tie
company since.
This investors loss of about $500 will
not cripple him, and he neither asks
nor deserves any sympathy. The sole
point of this episode, therefore, is TO
bring out the Importance of an old and
well-known principle in the speculative
market, namely. that when you make
up your mind that you are wrong, the
thing to do is to set yourself right. and
not to try TO tenporize with the stock
market. Take your losses and write
them off if you feel that you deserve
a loss.
1t is astonishing how many specula-
tive investors of this type keep on own
ing and holding stocks long after they
have ceased to believe in them. Men
trade too much on hope and expectation.
and neglect to base their operations on
facts and on judgment. That is possibly
one of the reasons why so many men
lose money in this speculative semi
speculative class OF securities.

On Lfndbergh's Resolution.

1T is held in political circles tnat the
less a man knows about matter the
better he is qualified to talk imparcaliy
Next to knowing all about a question,
knowing nothing about it argues an un-
biased mind. Owing to Mr. Lindbergh's
shrinking modesty "a rare and commend
able gift in his profession), no auto
biography of him appears In the Con-
gressional Directory. But from the ma
ture of his resolution it may be safely
assumed that he is unbiased. in that he
knows nothing of his subject.
But experience proves that thorough
knowledge of a subject insures good
workmanship. 1t has ever been seriously
claimed that to be good lawyer or
chemist one must study law or chem
istry; presumably to be a politician one
must study his own interest. Would one
of Mr. Lindberghs dairy farmer con-
stituents send a man out to milk cows
who did not know whether or not one
COW gave cream and the other butter
milk? 1t would be more than an even
chance that he would sit down on the
wrong side.
Goethe once said: I hate all bungling
as I hate sin, but particularly bungling
in politics which leads to the misery
and ruin of many thousands and mil
lions of people
ITO frame a currency bill that will
meet the present and future needs will
call for the highest intelligence and ex-
perience. How many Congressman who
are not bankers could even give offhand
a correct definition of money? To meas
ure up to its responsibilities, the COM
n1ittee to frame currency bill must
have a deeper insight into finance than
the mere knowledge that bank is
place where one can borrow money on
a note with a good Endorsement.
There are two things that look simple,
but are extremely difficult. One Is to
make an eel stand up straight on its
tall. and the other is to convince
politician that he is not unbiased on
any question merely because he can
plead absolute ignorance"
