What strange journey that wasl The waves played

This trick did not fail in its purpose. When they
landed the island the alligator called twelve OF
the strongest algators to him. nstructing them that
they must not harm hair on the boy or the dog,
that they we've his guests. He also commanded them
to swim along the bank of the river and stand guard

better here and could live in peace. But l see

In our world we have a Henry Ford,
Who has millions many,
Would he help poor worker
By giving a red penny?

With numerous bags of gold,
I wish he'd act once as Santa Claus
Before he gets too old.
But the worthiest man to workers all
Is Comrade Ruthenberg, sincere,
Who knew what he was working for,
And fought without any fear.
Comrade Ruthenberg has passed away,
We sure do miss him.
And has babe us carry on our work,
For years until we win.

of courage. enterprise and initiative.
The man in business on his own is
necessarily somewhat of a commercial
Spectator.
If disinclined by temperament to
assume the economic hazards. he
should not be heading his own bust.
ness. He should be working for some
one else. getting for the time being
at least guaranteed income rather
than one contingent on profits.
Without Remuneration.
The huge annual figures of business
mortalitieS show that many enter
prises work without any remuneration
whatsoever. Education. study of cur
rent conditions and better statistical
and accounting knowledge concerning
ones own business affairs change the
character of business risks. eliminating
all the avoidable hazards resulting
from ignorance or mismanagement.
However. even ideal personal equip
ment cannot eliminate risks which are
unavoidable in the nature of things,
such as future conditions dependent
on unpredictable accidents of weather
war and other external forces.
AZ any given stage, however, the
man at the helm in business must
formulate policies. He cannot long
afford to sit on the fence. If his pro-
gram is based on either optimism or
pcssimism regarding the future, it
may or may not succeed, but if his
business program is built on a yes
and no. attitude he may be sure he
will get nowhere.
Constitutional inability to reach de
.cision stamps an individual as UNI
qualified for leadership. Such a per-
son. however. may make good in the
ranks.

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
puts" and "('alls. -
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.


A reader asks me to explain puts"
and "calls,' how they operate and
what uses they serve. A call gives
the buyer of the call the right TO
compel the seller to deliver TO him
certain number of shares of stock at
a; certain price at any time during
fixed period Similarly a put gives
the buyer of the put tho right to
compel the seller To receive from him
a certain number of shares of stock
at a certain price at any time during
a fixed period.
That is the general definition, but
usage here in America lays down
some additional rules. The matter
can be best made clear by an illustra-
ton. One day early this month u. S.
Steel common was selling at about
157. On this day the put and call
quotation for Steel common was three
points down for the put and five
points up for the call. This meant
that the buyer of the call could de-
mand of the seller 100 shares of Steel
common at a price of I62 any time
within the next 80 days, and that the
buyer of the put could demand the
seller to receive from him 100 shares
of Steel common at 1914 at any time
Within the next 80 days. In both
cases the price of the option was
$l37.50 for 100 shares.
II is the custom in this sort of trad
ing for the period during which the
option is TO run to be 80 days and
usually there is no change in the
price. The variation comes i'll the
number of points away from the
market the put and call dealer is
willing to do business Note that he
would sell a put three points down
under the conditions prevailing when
the above quotations were made, but
the call price is five points above the
market. The inference was that the
nut and call man believed it was more
likely for Steel common 10 advance
than for it TO decline within the next
t3o days: .,,,s.,., -.
same day the above quotations were
obfained. General Motors was quoted
m roints up for a call and 10 points
down for put: Here the option sell
81. considered the chances for rise
~. n fall in 1.-The price OF General
Motors during the ensuing month
evenly balanced.
