There are some who frantical

workers seek a more adequate
share of the nations wealth
These same folks constantly be
wall the difficult time the poor
corporations are having to make
ends meet. We just came across a
couple of corporate situations
which are not too untypical.
Return on Investment
This is the interesting story of
the Western and Southern Life
Insurance Company of Cincin.
natl. Back in 1883, it started busi.
ness as a stock company with an
original investment of one hun.
dred thousand dollars. From that
day to this, not single penny of
new capital has been added to the
company.
In 1923 the Western and South.
ern was changed from a stock
company to mutual company.
They were required to publish
statistics and information to their
stockholders and the public Show
ing their financial status, and
guess what the facts revealed
:. ;. from 1883 to 1948 (6O ycars)
almost 35 million dollars was dis
tributed in cash dividends. In ad-
dition the stockholders received
stock dividends in the amount of
annther 80 million dollars.
When the mutual company was
formed in 1948 there were less
than Is stockholders who receiv-
ed 10 million dollars beyond
their original investment.
The long and the short of it is
in 60 years the stockholders
realized rs million dollars from
the original investment of 100
thousand dollars.
Oh stop those poor, bitter
tears!
That Isn't Bad, Either
And here is another neat, fac.
tual tale. The Reliance Life In
surance Company of Pittsburgh
started business in 1903. The or
iginal stockholders invested two
million dollars. In 1851 the COM
pany was sold to another life in
surance corporation for 27h
million dollars.
The Reliance Life Insurance
Company was more modest than
the Western and Southern. 1t only
gave out cash dividends of ST.
e40,000 during its life. But when
you add the sales price to the
stockholders dividend, the share
holders received profit of 20
million dollars, or 14O7 percent of
their investment.

boat pack. he had engaged two
conveys in a fierce, observance
battle. sinking in all 10 ships
and driving the rest into harbor.
Shortly after daybreak on the
fateful August "a, echo ranging
was heard and two escort-type
vessels of about 1000 tons each
were sighted. Both submarines i'm
mediately commenced approach
ing for an attack.
However. the larger of the two
ships suddenly zigged away and
entered Dasel Bay. The other
stayed outside and at this time
Hake broke off the attack, feeling
the remaining target was hardly
worth the torpedoes it would take
to sink him. Harder, however ;,
held on and Hake sighter her
periScope crossing in front, pass
ing between Hake the the enemy
vessel.
Exactly what was in Sam
Dealey'S mind is, of course, not
known: his previous record indi-
Gated that he would have had no
hesitancy in tangling with this
chap if he thought it worth while
Furthermore, he had more or less
got Hake into this spot and may
have felt that he owed it to the
other submarine to get her out
again.
But, whatever his motives, he
maneuvered Harder between the
other two vessels with the result
that the Jap. naturally enough,
took off after him instead of after
Hake.
With Hake a fascinated spec
tator. the Jap made his run.
Possibly Harder fired at him,
though Hake heard no torpedo on
her sound gear. The enemy
came on over Sam Dealey and
suddenly dropped Is depth
charges. Harder's periscope was
never seen after that. nor were
her screws heard again.

cisely as the words are uttered
there Is Q terrific detonation. One
torpedo has struck home.
Sixty seconds!" Logan is still
unperturbed. At that instant an
other terrific explosion rocks the
submarine.
Two hits for three fish. Dealey
smiles a tight smile of exultation,
But this merry afternoon is just
starting, for the other set of pro-
peller beats now joins in the game
and proceeds to hand out a goodly
barrage of depth charges as Hard
er still seeks the shelter of deep
depths.
Some hours later, after dark
ness had set in, the submarine
surfaced. In the distance astern
a single lighted buoy burned,
marking the location where the
fifth japanese destroyer in four
days had been sunk by this one
sharpshooting submarine.
Decorations for All.
When the news arrived in the
United States. accompanied by the
unanimous recommendations Of
all responsible officers, President
Roosevelt awarded the Congress
sional Medal of Honor to Sam
Dealey and the Presidential Unit
Citation to Harder herself.
Sam Dealey's widow received
the Medal of Honor in his name,
and the United States Submarine
Force reverently accepted the
Presidential Unit Citation in trust
for the day when another ship
shall be built bearing the name
Harder.
For neither survived the next
patrol.
On the morning of August "a,
1914. Harder dived off the west
coast Of Luzon, in company with
U. S. S. Hake. Being the senior
skipper, Dealey had decided to
make a reconnaissance in this
area in hopes that it might yield
results comparable to those he had
achieved only three days before
when, as commander of a Ave-
