FOLLOWING a campaign remark
able for it's lack of political meet
ings and public speaking on the is
sues, the election of last Tuesday
brought results which were surpris-
ing to many, who had hardly realiz-
ed that a general election was held.
The effort to inject the "wet" and
dry" as an issue, beclouded to
slight extent other issues of far
greater Importance to the people;
which permitted the candidates to
escape giving public expression on
other points and issues, which will
come before the legislature during
the approaching session.
The bitter feelings which result
ed from the primary fights for nom
ination of tickets, seems to have
been more bitter with the Republi-
cans than in the Democratic party.
So far as could be observed, there
was almost a total absence Of money
used to influence voters; much to
the satisfaction of everybody but the
floaters.
Wilmington and New Castle coun-
ty entered the contest with more
vigor and determination to get the
voters out and display real interest
in the results; which is shown by
the splendid majority for the whole
ticket as nominated.
In Kent the Democrats made their
most determined onslaught and
elected every candidate with the ex-
ception of the Congressman and the
Sheriff. The former won on the
dry sentiment of Democrats who
resented the action of their candl-
date, who after wet" plank was
voted down by an overwhelming ma
iority in convention, made his can
vas openly as a follower of the
wet side of the problem. The Kent
Sheriff won as the result of a sense
less fight against the Democratic
nominee by enemies within his par
ty. The same applies to the condi-
tions existing in the Republican
District in which North Milford
forms a part; for here the ticket
was knitted by men who gratified
their spleen without regard for the
welfare of their party.
Sussex seems to have been the
victim of revolt in both parties, but
the Republicans displayed the vim
dictive and open fighting against
parts of the ticket, which gave a
Democratic Senator from the First
Senatorial District; which was be-
lieved to be an impossibility, and
lost three of the county offices to
the Republicans. Sussex elected
the Congressman by nearly S'OOt
majority, but lost every State Sena'
tor, as well as several members oi
the House, which should have beer
elected, but for the open cutting o.
the ticket.

Effectiveness of the publicity OBJ
tanned through the Del-Mar-Na
Eastern Shore Association is en-
phasized in the fact that two of the
more prominent and nationally cir
culated magazines in their issues
lust appearing published illustrated
and descriptive articles written by
Edwin C. Totten, publicity man for
the Association. These articles
were: "The Del-Mar-Va Trail" in
the October issue of The American
Motorist, and Blood Will Tell" in
the November issue Of Field and

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
Diversification Essential.
BY GEORGE 7. HUGHES.

One other point deserves notice ne
fore we leave the subject of restrlc-
tions put upon legal investments lor
savings banks That is the inslstence
upon diversitication even among Sc
curities which presumably are the
safest possible.
Take, for instance, the provision
laid down regarding electric light ahu
power aud gas bonds in the proposed
amendment to make these Obligations
legal in New York state. ThiS was
that not more than 10 per cent OF the
assets of any bank should be loaned
on or invested in such gas and eIec'
trio bonds and not more than per
cent of the assets in the bonds or
any one company. II it is necessary
for a savings bank, restricted as 1t Is
to Investments of the very highest ue
gree. to practice diversitication, It IS
al the more necessary for an Inul,
Vidual investor who allows hlnSelI
more latitude in his choice of secufl-
ties to spread out the risk over a Wlde
field, geographically industrialiy y ana
among different corporations IN the
same line Of trade.
1t is this rule OF diversification
which is the secret of the success or
the British investment trusts. AS
far as these organizations have pros
pered in the United States they nave
followed the English rule. When
they have confined themselves to
stocks or bonds of different corpora
lions in any one field they have not
done as well as when they have IN
vested in securities representing many
kinds of businesses. One of the most
successful of these American organl-
cations. which as has been said are
comparatively new in this country,
makes it d rule 10 put not more than
10 per cent of its assets into securities
in any distinct class of industry and
not more than IA per cent into any
one security other than governmental
securities.
1t cannot be repeated too often that
there is no such thing as absolute
safety in any investment. United
States Government bonds may be an
exception, but it would be difficult to
lind any others. The best insurance
is to distribute ones funds over
large variety of stocks and bonds and
this Notwithstanding that only the
most conservative are selected.

standard in construction and equip

instruments and auXiliaries. The
Ford Airway is now standardizing the
multimotored monoplane in its serv-
ice.
Standard signals have been tenta-
lively worked out. 1t is proposed that
all aircraft engaged in passenger
traffic with a crew of more than one
person shall be equipped with radio
apparatus capable of supplying com
munication with airdromes below
them. Airdromes of first class also
must be radio equipped with blinker
