Nor can any human being tell be-
forehand what sort of a wife a girl
will make. We Rave all seen Tightly
flibbety-jibbety hoydens settle down
into the most domestic Of wives and
mothers. We have seen girls who
were wildly extravagant with papa s
money become tightwads with their
own, and we have also seen domestic
girls who had got enough domestic
ity and who refused to go in the
kitchen after marriage, and we've
seen prim little Puritans turn into
flirtatious flapper wives.
SO, ipasmuch as those who marry
have to live together. it is a pretty
good idea to leave it to the victims
to select their own poison.

Another way a girl can test her
love is by trying to determine her
own reactions to a mans conversa-
ton. Any woman can listen on for
ever while a man tells her how much
he loves her and how wonderful she
is, but if she begins to be bored when
he switches the conversation to him
self and commences to mOnologue
about his own interests, then she
merely likes him. 1t takes love to
make woman want to hear every
thing a man thinks about himself

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
By George +. Hughes
Twenty-Second Article.
CAUTION TO SMALL INVESTORS,

One rule of sound investment which
many people overlook is that the smaller
your capital the more conservative must
be your securities. I am often told that
this or that investor must have a large
return because his capital Is so small.
NOW exactly the opposite Is true. The
small investor cannot afford to look for
a large return He must have above
everything else security Of principal. He
cannot afford to take chances, no matter
how small. because he cannot sufficiently
diversity his list Moreover, the large
capitalist Is in a position where If
one or two of his commitments prove
unsatisfactory it Is a matter of only
minor Importance.
The same thing might prove a dis
aster to the small investor. 1t fol-
lows that what may be a good in
vestment for one may be strictly un-
suitable for another. A widow with
no experience in financial affairs and
entirely out of touch with busin ess
conditions requires a different invest
ment list from man actively en-
gagged in trade. This is especially
dependent upon the income from her
securities She has, however, one
compensation in that to her market
ability is a secondary matter. The
business man must have securities
for which there is a ready sale. as it
Is conceivable he might need money
at any time for use in his business.
Or he might want to borrow upon his
stocks or bonds at the bank. and
banks loan money only on securities
with a ready market.
The widow. on the other hand. re-
quires only a steady and assured in
come. She can afford, therefore. to
take bond or mortgage not 80 read
lily salable. and, other things being
equal, slightly higher return can
be obtained from the security with
a less active market. Every investor
should make perfectly plain his or
her own exact financial situation to
the investment banker or investment
adviser in just the same way as he
or she confldes in a doctor or a
lawyer. In this way investments can
be suggested which meet the need of
the particular individual.

PANAMA CANAL AS AID
TO u. S. COMMERCE
Makes Highest Record in 1928 in
Shortening Routes to Pacific
Countries.

NEW YORK, May 26-Reports that
the Panama Canal made it's highest
record in 1923, and that it now ex-
ceeds in net tonnage that of the Syez
Canal call attention to the remark
able increase IN our commerce with
the Pacific countries which the canal
brought into closer touch with our
great commercial and manufacturing
sections. The countries and colonies
to which the opening of the Panama
Canal gave a shorter vessel route to
the Atlantic frontage of the United
States were fifteen in number, China,
Japan, Korea, Kwangtung, Asiatic
Russia, Hongkong, the Philippine Is
lands, Australia, New Zealand, Chile,
Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Salvador,
and Bolivia, whose commerce passes
by rail to the Pacific ports. The sail
Japan's great port Of Yokohama was
shortened about 5000 miles by the
opening of the Panama Canal as
compared with the former route, by
way of the Suez to Shanghai, China,
about 1900 miles; to Melbourne, Aus
tralia, nearly 1900 miles: to Yelling
ton, New Zealand, about 5000 miles
as compared with the shortest sail
ing route by way of the Strait of Ma
gellan; to Vladivostok in Asiatic
Russia about 1000 miles; to the west
coast of South America the sailing
distance was reduced to about one
third that formerly travelled by way
of the Strait of Magellan, at the
southern tip Of South America.
Fifteen Countries I'm Close Touch.
With all of the fifteen countries to
which the Panama Canal brings the
fvny ,far ~
into closer touch our own commerce,
says the Trade Record of the Ma
tional City Bank of New York, has
shown an enormous increase, far
greater than that with other parts or
the world. The total trade with ia
pan, for example, in the calendar year
1929 was $611, 100000, against $751;
100000 in 1913, the year preceding
the opening of the Panama Canal;
with China. s296. 100000. against $685.
900, 900 in 1913; with Australia. $780,
100000, against s54,0O0.OO0; with New
Zealand, s41,000,000. against $4,000
600; with the Philippines, S127,000,-
900. against s46,000,000: with Hong
kong, s37,000,000. against $4,000. 600;
with Chile. s123 900. against Sac
900. 900, and with Peru. $4,000 600,
against S18,000.000 in 1913.
With the fifteen Pacific countries
and colonies which were brought
closer to our Atlantic frontage by
the opening or the Panama Canal our
trade in 1923 was $1,532, 900, 900,
against s460,000,000 in 1913, an in
crease of 233 per cent, while the in
crease in trade with other parts of
the world was but 20 per cent.
Hawaii Not Included.
The above figures of trade with the
Pacific countries which the Panama
Canal brought into closer touch with
the Atlantic frontage of the United
States do not include trade with
Hawaii, to which the sailing distance
from New York was reduced over
5000 miles, since the figurse of Ha-
waiian trade are usually included in
those Of the United States. of which it

ATLANTA. MAY &c tSpeciaD.-
Wholesale business in the southeast

canvass of the jobbing houses today
reveals the fact that business in the
last week showed some Improvement
over the week before and indications
of further improvement in orders from
the smaller retailers are not lacking
as hot weather approaches.

of a large firm, which is about to

doing a volume of business. which it
is expected will surpass any record

Dick Lynch. of Carteret, was taken
to the hospital when he was burned
as he was riding in the car of Louis

was suffering from shock and
bruises. Horvath ran up on the side

ed by the fallen wire, and the auto
mobile of Martin Travinski, of Lau-
rel street, South Amboy, ran into a

granting a recount of the votes cast
in the general eioct:on in the first

or not the election results which de-
feated DIR. ]. P. Salter. candidate for
reelection and pat into office his
Democratic opponent Jacob Grau-
sam were correct. The Democratic
candidate beat DR.. Saiter by total
of twenty-five votes.
1t is believed by the Republicans
that with only a twenty-five vote
majority over him, DIR. Salter has a
good chance of retaining the office
of township committeeman in a re-
count, which according TO the Re-
publicans will show many ballots
which should not have been counted
and some which were counted that
should have been cast aside. The
Democrats on the other hand are
said to welcome the recout to prove
beyond the shadow of a doubt that
Mr.. Grausam was fairly elected. 1t
is expected the recount will start
within few days.
