Octogenarian Office Boys. We arc trying a new experiment by niacin? our office boys with old men," avs a New York business man. "It has been hard to get boys for our of (k.es and those we do get are lack- n- 'in tVisi-ipline and reliability. Tlie old men are quieter, more tractabre, ake more interest in their duties, ana ,c willing to work for the same wages that we pay the hoys. . What ever the reason, the office boy of to- . y iS inferior to his predecessor of a deca-le ago. With the dwindling size yf the American family and the high er nandards of living, a shortage of working boys should naturally be ex pected. At any rat, we think that we have hit upon a happy solution of the problem." What Is a Profiteer? Since the siump in prices began last spring less has been heard of the proiiteer. and some tninK mat ne is vapidly going the way of ,th,e dodo and it)ur extinct species of brute creation. . ,ny discussion of profiteering today may sceni. therefore, to be a matter of merely historical interest. Yet the question is spmatimes asked: at just what point does : the prosperous busi ness man pass beyond the pale of the legitimate profit-taker into the cate gory of profiteer? A profiteer is usu ally defined as an individual who ex act more than the normal rate or return on his investment. But just what is meant by "the normal rate of return"? Profits vary widely in differ ent industries and iei different" es tablishments in the same industry. An abnormal period, such as a time ' of war, further complicates the process nvestot The Order of Bond. Advance The investor has been shown that .ill-edged bonds invariably have ad vanced with the lessening -demand for hank credit in past periods of'business ' readjustment and therefore has a clue to what , may be expected of this class , t. .1 .ui . 4 develops. But there is. nothing in this 4 rule to indicate how bonds of inferior rating will act. It is permissible, therefore, to look into the past for some kind of guide. The records show that investors exercise extreme con servatism when business confidence is Ht low ebb, confining themselves to issues admittedly safe but of relatively small interest return; and that when the outlook becomes brighter, fear for security of principal and interest, which has previously restrained pur chases of second-grade securities; is gradually allayed. Investors then feel pafe in committing themselves to these issues, and enjoy the higher income return. In a period of business liqui dation bonds advance in the order of their investment rating. The move ment in highly speculative bonds be gins last and is still in progress when the stock market has started to dis count revival of industry and, the be ginning of a new business" cycle. Kiiles Work Both Ways The history of economics not only supports the rules cited in the preced ing paragraph, but also testifies to the fact that they work both .ways. De- mand for high-grade, bonds farts off, of course, as returning confidence leads investors into higher yield securities. Still later in the business readjust ment idle bank funds, which had come free enough to permit specu lative purchases pf bonds with the aid of borrowed .capital, come into demand Rgain for actual cusiness financing. .The marcin of profit between Interest Pn the borrowed money and income murn on bonds which it is .carrying reaches the, vanishing point first in the case of high-grade, low-yield bonds, and they are sold in favor of something that will show a . current profit at the ruling rate for time money The investor who goes in for long-term bonds with the intention , of holding them until maturity or over B long period of years is not concerned vith this second phase of the rule. But it is to his advantage to know the influences which are brought to bear on the bond market in a "period like the present. These,rules admit of ex ceptions wherein particular issues or icroups may be influenced by special "ifcumstances. . w York Central Refunding 4 1-2 Xew York Central refunding, se ries A 4 l-2s, due in 2013, offer a good opportunity to the investor- seeking to lie up funds for a long period at a Tavorablo yearly return. Selling at 73, 'he yield to maturity is only slightly liighcr than the current, return of 6.16, lu cent, but the record of. past priees points to a sizable appreciation in H'fincipal over a relatively stiort pe 3 mk1. The high prices c ".recent years were 86 , in 1919, 87 5-8 In"l9lS, :i'S3-4 in 1917, and 96 7-8 in 19.6. This Ties, amounting to $40,0j00,000, is part of a mortgage held open to refund prior liens at maturity. An additional 25, 000,000 is pledged to secure $15, 000,000 of notes due in 1930N The Central system carried Its - property Investments at ' $l,110,000,00tf on ; De cember 31, 1919. Bonded debt scorning ahead 0f the -.refunding 4 l-2s -. totals 1493,-633,000,---but this issue- is" a first lien on 297 miles of road. Of the $8?3,- '171,000 authorized under this , loan, M93,633.ooo is reserved tpretire',prior Hens and $265,137,000 for the construc tion or acquisition of other Toads. roll-K mS stock, or for reimbursements of txpenditures. The system earned its Funded debt interest- 1.52 times Ust lar and .1,49. times in 1918.

"We have found that a traveling salesman with a fund of. general In formation on live current rnnina ph. Joys, an. ad vantage in selling: goods to me country trade," says an officer of a large manufacturing concern in the middle west. "As a- result ; of this discovery, we are supplying our men on . the road with a ' weekly bulletin containing news arid other facts put up in presentable form for their use. In making the country towns our salesmen -often have long waits be tween trains, f and of course we want them to put in as muc.h of this time as .possible with ; prospective buyers. Many country merchants have a lot of time hanging heavily on their hands and look upon the salesman's visit as a kind of social , event. .Of course, our men cannot talk shop all the time without ! becoming tiresome, and we want them to .sandwich their- business talk with, other things that will keep the . man interested. Moreover, if they display accurate information ', and sound judgment on matters of general knowledge they will win the man's confidence and he is then more than half .sold to ' us. If he has confidence in our salesman he will also , have con fidence in our goods." So Say We All 'j'Since woollen goods are getting so much cheaper," remarked an old-f ash ioned man the other day, "I hope that those who make our clothes will be able to put' enough cloth-into a pair of trousersN to make it once more possible for a fellow to pull 'em on over his shoes." - (Copyright, 1920, by N.

The bonds are thus a first collateral mortgage on l229 miles of road, or at the rate of $16,200 a mile. Otier funded debt of the system is $34,503,000, making a total of $54,503,000. against a book value of .' $72,451,000 placed on the properties by the Interstate Commerce commission in its reprfrt to congress under the transportation act. This system start ed to make a rapid recovery in earn ings even before the higher rates went into effect. Net income available for interest charges in. the first 10 months of the current year were $5,618,795, compared with $2,341,843 in 1919. In this period the company earned its whole year's -interest ciiarges 2.-19 times. In - tlie period' 1911 ttr 1919 earnings were ' 1 to 2.69 times these charges : countins out the year 19r5, when there was a deficit of $253,TO0 after charges. The company rejected the federal compensation offer for the six months ended August 31, and In that ."period earned $1,900,000 more than 'the government would have paid as rental. The first 4s sold as low as 60 early this year and the same In 1919. The range from 1911 to 191$ was 63-7-8 to 92 3-4. (Copyright, 1920, by N. Y. ' Evening t. .
