LACK OF WIND DEFEATED PLANE
IN HAWAII FLIGHT, RODGERS SAYS
Failure to Find Air Tender Was Only Hitch in Plans,
Commander Avers-Crew Sailed Craft With
Jury Rig 400 Miles,

Of the water in ordinary weather al
most indefinitely.
The morale of the crew was high.
They were always cheerful and
worked with as much energy as If
they had been getting a full ration
every day.
AS a matter of fact 1t appears from
what we heard after our arrival that
we were the least concerned people
In the world as to our safety.
1t should be understood that the
flight was planned to be a nonstop
flight If favorable winds were found.
In event that we struck an unfayor-
able wind it was planned that we
should refuel from q station ship along
the route and retake off for Hawaii.
The only miscarriage of the plan
was due to our failure to find the
Aroostock, the ship we had selected
to refuel from, having passed close
above all other station ships en- route.
The PN-9 was sailed under fabric
jury rig approximately 400 miles
safely to port, and secured before any
of her crew left her.

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
RETURN ON COMMON STOCK.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Next to the matter of price which
was discussed in the preceding ar
ticle, the prospective investor in COM
mon stocks has to consider the return
on his money. 1t is very easy to cal
culate the yield which a certain stock
returns at any given price and any
given dividend rate. If, for instance
the dividend rate is 81 a share an
nually and the stock sells for 1l6 the
yield is 6 per cent.
Now what the investor wants to
know is whether per cent is an
adequate return under prevailing con-
titions in industry and in finance.
That is not SO easy. Some light will
be thrown upon the problem by COM
) pairing this 6 per cent return with
that afforded by grade bonds at that
particular time. Under some condi-
tions per cent may be very liberal
and under others II may be niggardly
The greater the spread between the
WELD of the bonds and that of the
stocks the more attractive the return
on the stocks.
The general level of money rates is
another important consideration If
funds can be borrowed cheaply 6 per
cent on ones stocks holdings may be
very attractive, but if money is dear
and the banks charge high rate for
accommodation per cent may be un-
attractive. Then again the still more
important matter of the permanency
of the prevailing dividend rate is still
10 be inquired into. Stocks sell in the
open market not alone or even prin-
cipalIy on their present dividend rate.
but on expectations of the future. A
very high return indicates doubt as
20 it's permanence and conversely a
very low return indicates hope of a
dividend increase. Stability of market
, price shows conviction that the divi
fsfend rate is to remain uncha S ed in
definitely.
Only the well informed or the well
advised should venture the acQuiSi-
lion of stocks as investments.

industry has come back.
The low prices Of sugar this year

over sugar tariffs to disappear. The
political phases Of the subject still re-
main, however, and apparently will
continue as long as the major political
parties have opposing tariff views.
