EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.
Sxty-Seventh Article.
"I WANT TO MAKE SOME REAL
MnNEV

Sfxty-Scventh Article.
II WANT TO MAKE SOME REAL
MONEY"
In times of stock market excite
ment, when prices are rising rapidly,
the difficulties Of the investment ad-
wiser are multiplied. 1t looks so easy
to make money in speculation that
the impulse to rush in is almost ire
sistlble. One reads in the newspa-
pers stories of the profits of this or
tnat notorious plunger who has ac-
cumuiated a great fortune without
any apparent effort. 1t Is not always
In STOCKS that these quick fortunes"
are made. Sometimes it is wheat
sometimes it is cotton and sometimes
II is something else. Anyway, it looks
very simple.
Quick Returns Desired.
Then when one looks at the stock
table on the financial page and COM
pares the quotation for some highly
speculative common stock with the
low hgureS Of the year and makes
rapid mental calculation as to how
nuch money he or she could have
made if they had bought at the low
and sold at the present price the
temptation to act becomes over
whelmnig. Only the other day a man
said to me that he had some money
to invest. l suggested a conservative
bond that you'd yield about per
cent. He was disgusted. Il don't
want something that you put in your
column. was the reply. Il want to
make some real money"
There are lot of people like my
friend. Generally, too. they are
people who can least afford to take
the risk that goes with speculation.
Fer whatever may be your theory
about the morality of specializing,
this much is certain: Every oppor-
tunity for speculative gain involves
possibility of speculative loss, and
one does not read in the newspapers
the stories of the losses unless they
bring police court notoriety. There
are people who make money in specu-
lation both in commodities and stock
Their number is not few.
But it is only one in a hundred who
keeps the money he or she makes in
speculation.
Money Made by Care.
In the long run more is made by
careful investment, the regular set
ting aside of proportion of ones
weekly OF monthly income, than in
all the speculation in the world
1t is very dull and uninteresting,
or. at least, it seems so, to buy sound
investment bonds the market price
of which is comparatively stable,
when stocks bought today are salable
IN tomorroW'S market at a profit of
dollar or more share. For one
who cannot afford to lose, however,
1T is absolutely the only safe thing
To do.

 In conclusion he declared that the senate, by yielding to the President, would turn a milestone in civilization in that it would determine whether this shall be a democracy or a monarchy. He added that by following the Pres ident the senate would ''enslave pos terity." Senator Underwood, replying briefly, credited Senator Norris with sincerity, but he derided the Nebras- kan's contention that there was danger uf coming generations being deprived of their birthright.
 "I am surprised at this attack on the President" he continued. "The executive has not violated the consti- tuition, but he has adhered to his plain duty to advise with congress.
 He should not be criticized. He should be commended. The Presi- dents message which this bill follows was in accordance with the law of 1918 dedicating Muscle Shoals to
 national defense and fertilizer pro-
 ductfon. The President is A practical business man. The Nebraska senator believes in government ownership and operation. He is entitled to be an adherent of that school. But | am not. Therefore, stand for a practical things, whereas the senator stands for theoretical thing. And
 he makes no denial of the fact that his bill is simply super-pOwer bill"
 Senator Underwood again referred to the presence of lobbyists and asked the senate: Shall we yield to their de- mands," referring to Norris dream of developing a million horsepower in the Tennessee river. Tt is lovely dream, but, whereas a million horsepower may and probably will in the future be de- veloped in the Tennessee, it will be a long time before the senate will au- thorize the necessary appropriations"
 He finished by an insistence that the senate take the practical thing at hand, and not jeopardize the entire project by grasping after impossible will O the wisps."

LEADERS ATTACK
 BALDWIN'S PLAN
 OF TAX REVERSAL
Snowden Calls Proposal Most Impractical And
 Ridiculous
fRy Associated Press.

LONDON. Dec. 17.-Premier Baldwin today outlined briefly and vaguely the British governments intentions for reversing the policy of the late Macdon- ald government which, on the ground they were of a protective tendency, abolished some war duties imposed on various commodities under the safe guarding of industries act.
 MT. Baldwin repudiated the idea of using the safeguarding of industries act as a wedge to introduce protectiye tariff, and admitted taxation of food was not practical politics. lie also stipulated that any industry requiring to be safeguarded must prove itsen nm nortant and efficient and to be suffering from exceptional competition through depreciated exchanges, bounties,. subsi- dies or debased labor conditions Ill con- peting countries.
 Suggests Committee
 The premier suggested submitting the ouestion of lapsed duties and the like to an economic committee, which he said first should deal with meat and fr,,it. These articles could not be dealt with by taxes. but he hoped it was not beyond the wit of man to devise some plan by which, without taking the food of the British people, it might be pos sible to modify the course of trade for the benefit of the empire.
 MT. Baldwin argued that when the labor government abolished certain duties, the duties had not been in force long enough to prove accurately thelr value. He proposed that any duty levied under the safeguarding of in dustries act should be general and not particular duty. Discriminating duties against particular countries had their drawbacks in working, while n general treaty was no breach of the favored nations clauses in treaties.
 Lloyd George Attacks Plan.
 The premier was strongly attacked by the late Chancellor of the Exchequer Philip Snowden, and former Premier Lloyd George. MT. Lloyd George de- clared the premier had already an nounced a general tariff and that his method was not very straightforward way of imposing tariff. MT. Snow den said that unless the premier more fully explained his plan in order to make it more intelligible, all he could say was that it was the most impracti- ble and ridiculous suggestion that ever emanated from the brain, even of tariff reformer.
 The house of commons adopted the kings address. Previously by vote of 339 to 151, the chamber defeated the official liberal amendment to the address offered by William Hedgewood Benn, which characterized the govern ment's imperial preference policy as dishonest

 The British, Gen. Mitchell said, are now trying to lay the foundation of air supremacy as they did with their fleet Japan owes her excellent ai' service, he said. to her efforts towards consolidation of all flying activities.
 Gen. Mitchell said the United States would control the sea by air within two years if each year the services were given appropriat ations equivalent to the cost of half battleship. In pro portion to the amounts spent the United States is getting the least out of its money of any country, he said.
 Favors Separate Unit.
 The witness favored divorcing the air services from the army and the navy and establishing single flying organization, so that a national air policy could be developed.
 The American army water-cooled pursuit planes are excellent at low alti- tude and as good as those of any other nation. General Mitchell said. but the army lacks suitable pursuit planes for action at high altitude and for the de fense of localities.
 In case of sudden emergency. the

 Would Train Pilots.
 The general said he would favor in creased reserves for the army air serv- ice. trained one day week with three consecutive weeks training once year. to keep up the necessary number of pilots in case of sudden war.
