EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
One-Sllare Buying.

Letters from readers point out two
objectives. or rather difficulties, in the
way of such extreme diversifi cation OF
investment risk as is involved in the
purchase OF one share of stock at
time outside of New York. In the first
place many brokers refuse TO take an
order for one share, stating that the
cost of handling Is greater than the
commission.
This is undoubtedly true and prob
ably an investor who makes practice
of giving a broker no other business
than one~share orders would find trou-
BILE in making purchases. Particular
ly would this be the case when the In
weston resides at a distance from the
great financial centers.
The other drawback to an invest
ment policy of this kind is the situa-
ton which would be brought about IN
the settlement of an estate. The
transfer Of single share lots Of great
many corporations would indlsputabiy
cause trouble and expense, in some
instances so great as to make the
plan inadvisable. Each prospective
investor will have to weigh this obJec-
ton for himself and decide how TAR
he can go in distributing his funds
among a large number Of different Sc
curities.
There la asssuredly a point where the
gain from Investigation is offset by
the inconvenience. 1t remains true,
nevertheless, that there Ia less chance
Of loss when money is invested in as
many different kinds of enterprises as
possible than when it is put into one
or two corporations. One solution
worthy of consideration is the invest
ment trust Shares in these trusts
represent interests in varying lines
beven more minute than In individual
ownership of single shares OF stock d1-
rect. Tho investment trust has been
slow in gaining a foothold in this coun-
try. but it Is an old established insti-
tuition abroad.

SPRINKLERS FOR SCHOOLS $

Sprinkler systems, which operate in case Of fire. are in use in many buildings. not only as a means of preventing the spread Of fire. but also 10 reduce insurance premiums.
 Such equipment costs no more than q reasonable sum. which the saving in premium rates equal in from five to seven years.
 Economically, therefore, the sys- tenn is beyond criticism.
 School Committeeman William II Day, chairman of the school board subcommittee which is wrestling with the insurance problem, has let 1t be known he favors the sprinkler system for school buildings. The figures Of savings in insurance rates that he cites are similar 10 those which countless business concerns have weighed before adopting sprinkler systems.
 Schools, like other public property, should be conducted upon efficient business principles. Adoption of sprinkler systems would be a move in that direction,

The state of Connecticut is sup posed to be up in arms" against the Massachusetts plan to- divert the waters Of the Swift and Ware rivers so that Boston may have sufficient wanter to drink. But the situation reminds one Of the citizen who was locked up for some law iniraction. When his lawyer hurried 10 the cell and spoke to him through the door thereof. he ejaculated; "Gazooks al mighty, they can't lock you up for that" To which the poor creature behind bars replied: T know they can't, but here I am"
 While Connecticut Is discussing the serious results that will follow diversion ot the Swift and Ware rivers. how the lordly Connecticut will be lowered, how commerce will be threatened. and all the remainder ot 1t, the neighboring state is divert ing the waters. ..

HARTFORD COURT
 HEARS FOX CASE
Compensation Award Appeal
 Reaches Supreme Bench

Hartford. Oct. : (P-Three cases, put over until today because of the observance of Tom Ripper yester- day by some Of the lawyers inter ested, were heard by the Supreme Court of errors in completing the cases assigned for hearing at Hart ford in the October term.
 The first rase heard today vas that of John T. kAarns of East Hartford against Joseph W. Andree of Hartford and appeal of the de- fendant from the court of common pleas.
 The action involved the proposed purchase of q house on Prospect street in East Hartford the plaintiff claiming that he had made sever al changes in the property on sug- gestions Of Andree, who later re- fused to purchase. Judge Thomas J. Molloy found for the plaintiff to re- cover s161.S6 from which the de fendant appealed.
 The case Of Richard Fox Of New Britain against Edward McGrath of Hartford, the Fafnir Bearing com- pany of New Britain and the Amer ican Mutual Liability Insurance company of Hartford, IS an appeal of the defendant Fafnir company and the insurance company, from
New Britain herald., 1927-10-07

the superior court in which an award by Compensation commis- sioner Leo J. Noonann of the first district was upheld.
 The plaintiff, Fox. was employed by McGrath as window washer McGrath had a contract with the Fafnir company to wash the win. dows of the factory. Fox fell and broke a, leg in the course, of his duties. The commissioner dismissed the claim against Mcdrath and or, dered the Fafnir company and it insurer to pay compensation.
 The last case today was that. ot B. Vogel and Morris Fried of Hart ford against Sam Berman of Hart ford, an appeal of the defendant from the city court in which judgement was given for the recov- cry of so5s.4s. The case involved fur coat or coats. It appears that the defendant had purchased a coat off the plaintiffs for the defendants daughter. and that some alterations were to be made on the coat. The plaintiffs loaned the girl q coat temporarily. but the defendant in sisted that 1t was until the original coat had been satisfa ctorily altered. The defendant failed to return tho coat and the plaintiffs sued. The de- fendants claim was that the daugh- ter was in readiness 10 return the borrowed coat when delivery Of her own coat was made. and the su- preme court is called on to decide which version of the claims as re- presented to Judge Ross was cor. rect as a matter of law.
