on the map.
Using your town or city as a
center, make a series OF concentric
circles-that is, series of circles, one
outside of the other, using the same
center. The radius Of the first circle
should be equal to 100 miles on the
map. You can get this distance from
the scale of miles that comes with the
map. The radius of the second circle
should be 100 miles more, or 200 miles.
The radius of the third should be 100
more miles, or 500 miles. The rest
of the circles should be drawn in the
same way. the radius OF each success
sive one increasing by 100 miles.
II every circle were drawn with
the same size line. it would be neces-
sary to count the number of 1o0-mile
intervals between your location and
q distant station every time you
wanted to use the chart To eliminate
this, make each fifth line darker than
the rest, as shown in the illustration.
II is then a simple matter to de-
terntne the distance between your
location, and any other point in the
United States, because each heavy line
interval represents 500 miles and each
light line interval represents 100
miles. For points in between you
can easily guess ehe smaller distance
or you can make dotted circles at 10
or 90 mile intervals to give you more
exact locations.

Association of Commerce is making

Lighterage companies say that
while operations are slowed up, they

thrown on the railroads, thousands
of tons of material being switched
through and around the city which
ordinarily is carried directly across
the harbor. The Bethlehem Steel
Company and other big industries
generally report raw material re-
serves and believe they will be able

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
BY GEORGE T.. HUGHES.
FOOLISH SPECULATION.

A woman investor consulted me the
other day about some income bonds
and preferred stocks of certain
railroad. She had taken these Sc
curities in exchange for others in a
reorganization, and at present the
bonds are not paying interest, nor is
the preferred stock paying dividends.
1 advised her to sell. on the ground
that she needed income and could not
afford to hold securities on which
there was no return. She was q
woman of small means, largely de-
pendenr~Ior her living upon income
from investments. She thought per
haps the advice was good. but OBJ
jected that if there were any chance
of payments being resumed within q
year or two, or if, as she put it, The
market is likely to advance" il
would be better for her to hold on
There is no adequate reply to that
argument except to say that neither
] nor anybody else knows anything
about the market price a year or two
hence or even six months ahead, TO
put it conservatively. If We did know
we could all speculate and all get
rich without working. a highly de-
sirable condition, but not likely TO be
achieved in this world All | could
tell her was that she must do one of
two things. either continue TO specu-
late-for that is what she is doing
now, although she owns the seCu-i
ties outright--or to sell d the mar
ket price and reinvest her funds in
some sound security. :
But how foolish it is for a woman
unframed in business or finalce TO
attempt to match her wits against
those OF the traders in stocks or
bonds. Disaster is sure TO follow If
you are going to speculate, you must
do it at your own risk, with the bene-
Mt only of such counsel as you can
get, but never with any assurance OF
success. Those who prefer to take
this course should not go to an in
Vestment man for advice.
