THE BUSINESS OF GETTING
AHEAD.
The Habit of Discounting.

Discounting is the process by which
the Wall street man adjusts himself
to anticipated developments Of the
future.
The successful speculator-and he is
a rara avis, indeed-seeks to CAPT.
talize at the Stock Exchange events
long before they actually occur or
become visible to the general public.
AS a result of this process Of an
ticipation the stock market frequently
runs counter to the plain logic Of
current events. Security prices are
affected in advance by rumors as well
as by official announcements, by
fancy as we'll as by facts. Suppose
q company declares an extra d1Vldeno
on the common stock. That action
IS obviously favorable to shareholders.
and the amateur would expect to see
the stock rise as soon as the announce
ment has been made. Instead, the
stock frequently acts perversely, and
actually declines.
Good News Was Out.
Such a reaction is usually ascribed
py financial writer's to profit-taking
on the theory that the good news was
out. Those who had bought the stock
earlier in lunches, rumors or actual
crease would be forthcoming became
sellers as soon as the announcement
was made Presumably these venture
some folk bought the stock at lower
levels in anticipation Of rise. When
the rumor turned into a fact and the
announcement was released to the
public those who had discounted the
development were ready to sell out
and convert their paper gains into
cold cash.
Similarly, unfavorable events are
anticipated by short selling. This
process tends to relieve the market
somewhat of shocks and jars.
Speculation is hazardous activity
In which the average amateur loses
money. Good advice to the novice
would be to stay away from specula-
ton. Yet in the ordering Of his own
life, apart from speculation, the aver
age man can take a leaf from the book
Of the skilled speculator and acquire
the habit of discounting.
The business man who foreSees
what the trend will be and gets ready
for it finds himself able to survive
Industrial storms and depressions. The
less far-sighted man, who is incapa-
BILE OF discounting. is perpetually being
taken by surprise, and when major
downward movements occur IN busl-
ness he Is likely to be swept into
bankruptcy.
The hired man, in his own develop
ment, should know which way the
wind is blowing in his own career.

1922" said the board. "Sales Of de-
partment stores showed the usual sea-
sonal growth in october, but, owing
partly to less favorable weather con-
ditions and to smaller number of
trading days. were at a somewhat
lower level than in the same month
Of last year.
Wholesale prices of nearly all
groups of commodities declined in Oc-
tober and November. Prices of
bituminous coal, however, advanced
sharply as the result of foreign de-
mand caused by the British coal
strike, but recently there has been
some decline in coal prices. The price
Of raw cotton, after falling rapidly in
September and early October. has been
steady in recent weeks. Prices of non
agricultural commodities, as classified
in the Bureau Of Labor Statistics
price indexes, declined slightly be
tween September and October, while
those Of agricultural products declined
about 2 per cent to the lowest level
since the Summer of 1924"

MEN AND MONEY
By W. S. RukeySer.
(Copyright. 1920

Bankruptcy is an economic purga-
tory In which business organizations
rid themselves of the sins Of the past.
ordinarily, the process consists of
eliminating fanciful superstructures
of inflated stock and bond issues
which were created during the dream
days when the hopes of the promoters
ran high. In the proposed reorga MIA
zion of the bankrupt Chicago Mil
waukee and st. Paul Railway Co.

correct inaccuracies of nomenclature.
The new company will be known as
the Chicago, Milwaukee and Pacific
Railroad Co. The. revised name will

before the war the st. Paul was ex

enough. Sometimes they tell TOO much

other standard railroad names are
inadequate descriptions of the system.
II we have a period of wholesale
mergers and consultations 1t would
lie desirable to have widespread re-
christening OF the major system. For
example. there is nothing IN the name

ings which were clearly indicated by
the earlier sequence OF events.
This duller attitude Of mind Is illus.
trated by the story about a man who
fell from the fortieth story Of the
Woolworth Building. AS he passed
the twentieth floor he was heard to
remark: well. I'm all right so far. "
Shrewder people learn to read char
acter and get ready for certain reac-
tions from individuals long before
they occur.
The process Of discounting is always
more or less speculative. for 1t deals
with the future. which Is to some
extent unknowable. But the person,
skilled in d.scounting the future. Is
quick to revise his expectations in the
light Of changing events.
The person who discounts events
has a sense Of the dynamic, endlessly
changing character Of life. He does
not make the mistake Of believing that
the circumstances of the present will
be frozen into an unchanging, static
fabric for all future time.

graph company had a broadcasting
station WEAF in New York which
operated on a 491.5 wave-length and
had the field to itself at this wave
length. The Federation pointed out
that wave-length of this type in Chi
cago would not crowd the air and
would make it possible for the Fedora
ton to broadcast its programs all over
the country.
From the lengthy correspondence
one can easily see that the department
Of commerce is determined to keep or
ganized labor off the air. 1t is deter
mined to keep union organizations
from having a station to counteract
the vicious open-shop propaganda that
is being spread on the capitalist-con-
trolled radio stations.
The Chicago Federation of Labor
station WSFL is determined to go on
the air. II the department of COM
merce refuses to issue a wave-length
for the Federation station, the station
will broadcast and make test case
Of this discrimination.

Six New Schools to
Open in the Chicago
District During May

Six new schools containing a total
OF about 5000 seats will be opened dur
ing this month, according to a state
ment by one of the members of the
board of education. Two of these
schools will be opened this morning.
They are the Farsnworth school at
Balmoral and Linden avenues, with a
seating capacity Of 864. and the Bridge
school at Grace street and New Eng
land avenue, containing 672 seats.
The remaining four schools are to

nues, 76S seats; Hale, end street and
Under avenue, 76S seats; Scammon,
Henderson and Keeler avenues, 7es

Rockwell streets.
In the next three years 1t is planned
to build so new school buildings and
additions with total seating capacity
Of $1,000. Thirteen additional build
ings providing 10000 more seats are
to be built at once In an attempt to
abolish the shortage OF seats in Chica-
90 schools.
Chicago school children are increas-
ing at the rate OF 10000 a year and
the board claims that to meet this
increase at least 20 schools must be
built Immediately.
