DAsHING PAST SIGNALS
\ NEW EVIL

Ii has been brought to the at- tenion of the Herald. and personal observation has confirmed the jus tice of the complaint, that in one respect the new traffic signals at the Center stimulate a species of improper driving that frequently is irritating to people who have just left the curb and are prepared to wend their way across the high way.
 This has to do with the effort by some autoists to pass on during the few moments when the yellow light is shining and just before the red pins them to where they are. Frequently, too, they push forward over the crosswalk lines just as the red light flares. In such instances, instead of putting on the brakes and stopping, they step on the gas.
 The evil is one not easily eradi- cated. It would require a traffic po- liceman at the scene to stop ii; and this employment of man-power is just what the trafflc lights are sup posed to avoid.
 Although the lights achieve their object in cconomizing with traffic policemen they are not as effective as bluecoats at crossings. There is nothing that can take the place of an arm-waying and watchful traffic noliccman.

FARM POPULATION
DECLINES 100000
Movement to Cities General
in All Parts of United States,
Survey Indicates.
By the Associated Press.

A decrease in the farm population
of the United States of nearly half a
million in 1925 Is reported by the
Department of Agriculture, which
estimates the number Of persons iiv-
ing on farms January /, 1926, to have
been 30,655, 900. compared with
81. .l34, 900 January l, 1925.
The estimated net movement away
from farms last year amounted to
901 900 persons. but there was an
estimated excess Of farm births over
farm deaths amounting to 422.00O,
which reduced the loss due to city!
ward movement to 1000.
The estimated decrease in farm
population in 1924 was 1872 900.
The loss of farm population In 1925
was general in all sections of the
country. The largest percentage de-
crease was estimated for the Noun
tain States, where the loss is given
as 39 per cent. The West South
Central States showed the lowest es'
timated figure, 0.2 per cent. The
average for the entire country was
figured at Is per cent.
Actual migration estimates, .disre'
garding births and deaths. show a
net movement away from farms for
the entire country of 30 per cent: the
figures for the East and West North

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
Warning to the Small Investor.
BIT GEORGE T. HUGHES.

"dFtuUk 10 tHe CufdU tUVeSt".
The first point to be observed about
the theory that common stock in
vestments are comparable to bonds
in safety and that they protect the
purchaser from a depreciatinR dol
lar which bonds do not Is that its
successful application depends alb
solutely on a wide diversifcation.
This theory, which has lately gained
a large following. was briefly out
lined in the preceding article. II Is
based on the idea that II shares In
a sufficient number Of different cor
porations are purchased II will not
affect the security of the investment
as a whole II one of these companies
turn out badly and dividends on
their stocks are suspended. 1t fs
claimed that the increased rates paid
out on the rest and the market ap-
probation in the value of their shares
will more than compensate for the
losses which 1t is admitted are sure
to occur now and then.
But all this implies that the capi-
tai to be employed Is large enough
to permit the buying Of an interest
in the business Of a large number
would not do. for instance, to put the
entire fund into railway stocks or,
on the other hand. into Industrial
shares. It would not do to devote
that part which Is set aside for in
vestnent in railway stocks to the
shares Of carriers operating in the
same section Of the country. 1t
would not do to put all the money
to be used in the industrial field into
stocks of companies engaged in the
steel, automobile, the oil, food prod
ucts or merchandising trades. The
sum must be divided up among the
leaders in each group and a proper
proportion preserved.
It follows necessarily that this in
yestment method. Is not adapted to
those who have only small sums to
invest. For such investors diversi-
fication would not be practical. This
point Is so important, so vital. that
Il can hardly be oyeremphasized.
The idea of buying common stocks
in particularly appealing to many
inexperienced investors. and it Is
easy to become unduly enthusiastic.
Probably the necessity for command
of adequate resources would rule
out most such would be BUYERS. The
suceestion that the investment trust
is the answer to this objection shall
consider when we come to the sub
1ect OF those trusts later In their
xrn ~
