The simplest inetuoil is to diver
air v one's holdinKs both us to lo
cution and industries. On t he
other hand. If any Investor diver
sities too much he Is sure to lose
something- on every disaster which
happens; hence, (Jn must use his
Judgment. This is being accom
plished today by some of the In
vest merit Trusts and I tankers
Shares which are being- offered.
The principle underlying rnosl of
these is very sound, only the
Trusts should buy their securities
when securities are low rather

jmld. 'Have your financial people

disasters." He answered by suy--ing,
'What lessons'." 1 replied, 'It

obliged In your stuiements of com
panies not only to Ihit all officers
and directors but something about
these men: not onlv a balance
sheet and financial stuteinent, but
a deluded Mutcment of insurance
curried hy these corporations.' Of
course these disasters, to u certain
extent, affect business hy improv
ing, for a short period, some lin
es. Huilding, for example, which
was temporarily sluck In Huniu

short period. On the other hand,

men. however, huve fulled to pro
fit hy Ihe fundamental moral les
son which these disasters present.
I refer lo the ned of always be
ing prepared for unexpected ev
ents. "The business man and Investor
should not look upon disasters as
something out or the ordinary hut
should consider I hem us normal
events. This not only means that
we should Insure unnlnst nil mis
fortune possible, but It niruns that
we should .always sleep with one
eye open, so to speak, ulld, expect
t rouble.
Should Carry Insurance
''Kor this reason I strongly rec
ommend that business men curry
every kind of Insurance, .possible,
especially business men who are
borrowing large sums of . money.
Certain public utilities buvc taken
out carllutuake insurance . during
the past week and such a step Is
entirely logical, especially ns the
cost iloefl not come out of the
stockholders. The various State
Commissions allow Insurance of all
kinds to be charged to the cost or
service, and arc willing lo allow
rales to he fixed to cover such in
surance as well os other expenses.
Therefore, the directors can pass
the cost of such Insurance directly
on to the consumer. This moans
that, the earnings of tho company
will continue ns large as ever,
while al the snine time, if a disas
ter should happen, there would brt
no loss tn tho stockholders.
3lnro Courage Needed;
''A few dnys ngo a gre:it event
was celebrated nt Cambridge,
Massachusetts, the taking com
mand of tho Continental Army
one hundred nnd fifty years ngo
hy Oeorgo Washington. President
Cool Id go honored the celebration
by hl.i presence. While talking to
day with a group of business men
ahoul the conditions surrounding
the business man today compared
with Ihe business man of Revolu
tionary Times 11 was shown with
what greater security n man can
conduct n business today thnn
formerly. One hundred and fifty
years ngo business was jnnde up
almost wholly of risks. First, there
was a great political risk of n
possible failure to whip Ktigland in
which ca.se Kngland would prnp
tleally confiscate all business In
this country. Then there was a
constant fear of being wiped out
by the Indians who were incessant
ly raiding the outskirts of our ci
ties and towns. Shipping, also,
was almost wholly a matter of
risks: not onlv were there no na
vigation charts, lighthouses, etc.;
but the sea was full of pirates.
I lence tho business man of Hint
dfiy was constantly beset with
risks taut we do not have to con
sider One hundred and fifty years
ago there was no way tn insure
against risks. There was no such
thing us marine Insurance, ami
fire insurance was just beine start
ed. T have In my office un iron
sign that the first American fire
insurance companies put on the
bnildines thev insure, such houses
being treated as great exceptions
as compared with all otlurs.
"The constant fear of trouble
during the early days of our na
tional existence developed the typ
ical Yankee whose character was
largely the foundation of Americ
an business thrift, con race. and
initiative. Although T believe In
tho elimination of risk bv legisla
tion and other menus, nnd the In
surance against risks when thev
cannot be eliminated, vet. I feet
there is a certain loss in character
development by having all risk el
iminated. Too much mice ss mak
es busmen men careless, indiffer
ent, and soft; whereas risk devel
op keenness, courage, and watch
fulness, present day conditions
probably develop timtdliv nccom
panicd by an unwillingness to
scratch and fight, !'.' per cent vt
