destroyed. The water, which falls
sharply from the reservoir under 500
pounds pressure, rushed out over city
property, washing out a road and
endangering the poWerhouse itself. The
second break is about rs miles north of
where the first explosion occurred.
The two dynamite gestures have
caused intense excitement in the prin-
cipal towns of the ,100nlile valley, ly-
ing between the tall peaks of the high
Sierras and the brown hills of the

their Saturday shopping, gathered in
little knots on street corners of Bishop,

through a crevasse at McCrea, and
many more square miles had been
inundated by backWaters of numerous
lakes and bayous.
The greater part of five parishes on
the west side of the river had been
inundated by slow moving lake which
had spread more than a hundred miles
down the west Atchafalaya basin
through the Eyangeline country from
breaks in Bayou Des GlaiSes ramparts.
Backwaters from the NIcCrea crevasse
had welled slowly up the east side of
the Atchafalaya to the upper tip of
Pointe Coupee parish and were climb
ing levee around the town of Torras
near the mouth of Old river. Engineers
were doubtful whether the levee would
be able to restrain the mounting
waters.
In the vicinity of Crosse Tete, mid
way between the Mississippi and the
Atchafalaya rivers in the sugar
Bowl" citizens of Iberville and West
Baton Rouge parishes were concentrate
ing their forces upon the reconStruc-
ton of an old levee along Bayou Crosse

able to rear the levee to a sufficient
height to withstand the flood
Even as they worked, backwaters
were threatening them from the rear,

little hope that the section could be
saved from inundatiOn.
Hundreds of persons still were
clinging to their homes in the slowly
disappearing territory, lea:.g only
after the water had risen about their
homes, refusing to leave by trucks, only
to be forced - beg transportation by
boats.
Many, after remaining in their homes
in the forlorn hope that they would be
untouched by the flood, fled to levees
for safety. There, without food or
water, they waited boats to transfer
them to refugee concentration camps.
Along the west banks of the Atcha-
falaya the flood was on the last stage
of it's journey into the gulf, Grand
lake, into which the river passes,
emerging again on the opposite side to
pass into the Gulf of Mexico, had
swelled over the lowlands of Iberia,
Terrebonne and st. Mary parishes.
Towns in the lower tier of Louisiana
parishes either already had disappeared
or rapidly were vanishing.
The New Orleans weather bureau has
warned that the recession of the waters
should be slow and that towns on the
outskirts of the flood area should caKe
such precautions as might be necessary
to guard against the adverse possipll1ly
of rains and high winds.

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
Purposes of Puts" and Calls. =
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.


Continuing the discussion Of puts
and calls begun in the preceding
article. let us now see what purposes
arc served by this method Of trading.
Take the case OF a Spectator who
bought a call on General Motors good
for 80 days at 165 when the stock
was being traded in at l55. For this
option the buyer would pay the seller
$137.50 for each 100 shares Now the
position Of the Spectator who had
purchased such a call is this: No mat
ter what the market may do during
the next 80 days, he can always buy
100 shares for $16,500. Obviously, as
long as he could purchase at a lower
price in the open market his call
would be of no value and II General
Motors remained under 165 for all the
30 days covered by the option, the call
would never be exercised and the spec.
ulator would be out $13760. II. on the
other hand, General Motors should
sell in the open market at 167 he
would be able to buy 100 shares by
means Of his call at price 5000 lower
than he could without the call. so that
his profit on the transaction would
be the difference between 5000 and
3137.50.
Now take the case OF a put Sup
pose the spec1Ilato- had purchased a
put on General Motors at 145 when
the open market price was 155. In
that case no matter how badly Gen
eral Motors might slump at any time
during The 80 days. the buyer Of the
put could always dispose of 100 shares
for $l4.500. If the open market price
Of the stock held consistently above
the put price throughout the 80 days,
the option would never be exercised
and the speculator would he out sim.
ply the price he paid for the put.
Meanwhile, however. he has been
insured against either an excessive
rise or an excessive fall in the
market.
