APPRECIATION OF SIGNAL SERVICE

While it is eminently proper to applaud the who works out the details of department it is often due the energies of those entrusted with executing the plans which makes it readily effective and to the purpose for which it created This shown in the growth of the Signal Service in Alaska which has become one of it's most important institutions This result is due in great measure to the class of who have been entrst ed with the work of bringing the far places of the Terri tory into closer touch So well has this work been deve oped that 1t has become than means of com municationt has become part of Alaska itself in that the Signal Service do not halt their formal duties but become part and parcel of the social life of the munity in which they live
 On several occasions the service has been put to the test where big events called for quick and thorough and in each instance it has not been found wanting This result is due to the pride each and every member of Uncle Sams Signal Corps takes in the work.
 The injection of personality into the service has been productive of bringing the general public to greater ap precation of this necessary adjunct daily business and personal activities. Especially this evidenced by the cordial relations existing between the Signal Corps and communities like Seward the terminus of the cable office, which has become the heart of communca tion with it's pusaons felt throughout the Territory Seward feels proud of the service and so of those whose untrng energies and efforts to please have brot about the happy condition.

EVERYMAN'S

nv GEORGE r. HUGHES,

II we would clearly understand the
mart short selling plays in the mar
ket. to a technical description OF
which three preceding articles In this
series have been devoted, II Is neces-
sary, at this. point to digress bit.
As has been stated. as far as the
puhlic goes. short sellers are always
in a decided minority. Their opera
tions are looked upon with suspicion
and often condemned outright.
To sell something one does not
own in the hope OF making proft
has even been described as immoral
and from time to time legislation has
heen enacted against the practice.
The hear. by some is regarded as a
wicked and designing person who
sloats over the misfortunes Of others.

however. will show that the tnd4ct-
ment cannot be sustained. AS far as
the morality of the matter goes. 1t
might be argued what difference Is
there between a speculator who buys
a security expecting to sell 1t to some
one else for more money later on and
a speculator who does his selling first
and his buying afterward?-, In both
ca ses the motive is to profit by fiuctu-
ations in market prices. II one is
legitimate the other Ia.
Nor Is it true that short selling
depresses values. II may for a time
depress prices below values. but only
for a time. Sooner or later the short
seller must buy back the stock he
has sold and his purchases are often
the only support in a declining mar
ket. That Is assuming his judgment
is correct and the market does de-
cline. II he has made an error and
the market advances. he Is. and this
is not unusual, obliged to cover" his
stock. the technical phrase for COM
pleting a short transaction. by pay
Ing a higher price and so sustaining
a loss. Moreover he assumes great
risks.
Theoretically there is no limit to
the possible loss In the case Of a
short transact whereas one who
buys limits his commitment to the
actual price of the security in ques-
ton. without short sellers market
declines would be more violent and
market advances more extravagant
than they actually are. 1t Is to the
interest Of the investor who wants
the greatest stability in the price of
securities that the spectators whose
activities make market that Il be

Cheap Stores Benefit.

There is third group Of enter
prises that Is depression proof, and Is,
in fact, helped by a general spirit Of
economy and falling prices. Pre-
eminent in this group are and 10
cent stores. which not only are helped
by falling prices for the things they
sell and by lower operating costs dur
ing times Of depression, but by an in
creased disposition on the part of the
buying public to watch nickels and re-
spond to the price appeal. Makers of
cheap shoes are somewhat in the same
class. George F. Johnson. president
of the Endicott Johnson Shoe Co., for
example. told me that In times Of
diminishing prosperity buyers turn to
cheaper products such as his com
pany makes. Cigarette venders' sales
Indicate that their business is also de-
preston proof. Even during unem-
ployment the smoking habit continues
unabated. Public utility companies
which specialize in service to con-
sumers in the homes are more helped
than hurt by depression. which re-
duces their operating costs. while
their rates remain virtually un-
changed. On the other hand. booms.
accompanied by price imitation. are
genuinely harmful to companies of
this type, ana curing tne pOSl-WdT III
flation which eliminated in 1920, pub
lie utility companies, and 10 cent
stores and even the railroads were
seriously embarrassed by rising costs
and unchanging selling prices.
Since the reaction, which ended
about October 20, the stock market
has revealed little except public
apathy. The old lures are temporarily
lacking. With average prices only
moderately below the peaks estab.
lished earlier in the season, amateurs
no longer are moved by dreams OF
substantial and record breaking rises
of stocks in general.
Until new major incentives oper-
ate, the Street Is likely to witness a
selective market. in which there will
be discrimination in accordance with
the special facts surrounding the pros
poets of individual companies. That
is a more tedious process than specu-
lation in the large. and is less likely to
appeal to the public than to semi
professional operations.
