NEW YORK, March 1O.-The stock

the violent advance OF Friday being too
heavy to be absorbed without price

Trading was again on an enormous

today was 1,186200 shares and the
record for one hour made on March 2.

and 3 O'Clock
General Motors was again the center
OF interest. The initial sale was 20 600
to 16034. Any of these prices was a
new high record for all time. and con-
trasted with the closing quotations OF
159a4 Friday. Great strings of stock
came out on the tape between l60 and

top, temporarily at least. for selling

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
Advantage for Bondholder.
NY GEORGE r. HUGHES.

The recent offer by the Public Service
Corporation of New Jersey OF an issue
Of AZ per cent bonds illustrates several
points Of investment interest To stock
holders as well as bOndhOlders. The
bonds are debentures; that Is to say,
direct obligations Of the corporation. but
not secured by mortgage. They were
priced at 98 and so to maturity In 194S
will yield only trihe over $50 per cent.
At first glance 1t would seem that
there was nothing particularly attrac-
tive about Az per cent unsecured
bond giving so small a return. Never
theless the privilege of subscribing To
these bonds which was given TO the
holders of Public Service common and
per cent preferred stocks commanded
an immediate cash price in the open
market
The explanation was that the bonds
carried conversion option into COM
mon stock eXerciseable at any time on
or before February /. 1880. on the basis
of % shares of stock for each 81 900
principal amount Of debentures. At the
issue price of 98 the equivalent quota
ton on this basis for the stock would
be $445 a share. The stock was SELL
Ing more than points under this price
when the offer was made.
II will be seen then that while the
option OF conversion had no present
value, investors took into account the
fact that they had two years in which
to exchange the bonds for the stock
In other words they had two-year
call" on Public Service of New Jersey
common stock at figure which they
might reasonably expect to mean a sub
stantial profit at some time or other
during that period.
The advantage the stockholder ha'
over the bondholder becomes evident ir
Just such situations as this one Stock
holders received the preference in sub
scribing to these bonds, preference
| which was In effect an extra dividend
because If they did not care to avai
themselves of the opportunity they
could sell their rights" tn some one
else.

During the World war it became the
fashion to dismiss doctrines or ideas
with which we did not agree with
such labels as unpatriotic, Red. pro-

and so on. If our arguments against
such ideas were weak the labels. were
always capable of discrediting them.
Such labels have sinister conn0ta-
ton which, to many minds, is amply
sufficient to bring into disrepute the
object to which they are applied. The
label may mean little or nothing. Yet
for many unthinking persons 1t has a
vague and terrible significance.
How many of us, for instance. un-.
derstand what the label "unpatriotic"
means?

w bent with age,
A man who knows by heart the page
That other men must turn today.
Surely the world must love the sage,
Respect the words that old men say.
But old men learn one lesson more,
After the heart has learned the rest !:
That youth cares little for the lore,
The knowledge, by old men pos
sessed,
For youth would rather life explore
Than ask the old which way is best.
For life is not an enterprise
That men can master in a school;
Man finds the truth because he tries,
And in exceptions finds the rule !;
Perhaps the wisest of the wise
Are those who first have played the

Although our words are often spurned,
Although the world will listen not,
A lesson that is quickly learned
Is just as easily forgot.
Only the man that fire has burned
Believes that fire is really hot.

MONEY.
Ever since the world began the pos

been the incentive for others to seek
to take it away and add it to their
own stores.
Sometimes this is done by honest
means, by the channels of trade. But
always there are dishonest and I'M

you know is dangerous?
Earning money and saving money
are useless efforts unless when you
have acquired the money you are
wise enough to take care of it.
Don't gamble in stocks. Wiser and
richer men than you have "gone
broke" trying to make money in ''the
market"
Unless you know about them, do
not buy any securities Of any kind
without the advice of some one who
is acquainted with the investment Of
money.
If your money is in bank, and
that is where it should be unless it
is already invested, get some officer
of the bank to advise you.
