CHICAGO, March IA R).-With

today underwent an early sag. Word
that chain stores in New England had
cut bread prices 1c a loaf tended some

Comparative quotations:
On today'S downturns May wheat
touched the lowest price yet for the

only a scattered sort, despite state
ments that heavy world shipments
were offset by evidence that increases

The fact that this Is the time of
big arrivals of wheat from Argentina

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
Sound Inrestment PoIicy.
III GEORGE r. HUGHES.

Sound Investment Policy.
In view of the record heights to
which security prices have mounted
since the first of this year II becomes
important TO re-examine the essentials
of sound investment policy.
Let us take first the case Of man
who Is already holder of stocks and
bonds on which he has substantial
profits at the present level. The first
impulse is always to turn this paper
profit into cash. Take, for example,
the holder of American Telephone &
Telegraph stock who purchased the
shares in the neighborhood OF par In
1921. or even earlier. Such an in
weston has seen his capital appreciate
in market price so per cent or there
abouts. That certainly makes the
temptation to realize very strong.
Telephone stock is used here only
as an illustration. There are any
number of securities, some of them
bonds. which could be instanced.
What is the proper course to pursue?
Now. the answer varies according
to the security in question and ac-
cording to the status of the investor
but 1t is not TO be found in the price
originally paid. Whether or not one
has a profit on an investment stock
or bond is of no Importance as far
as reaching a decision whether sale
is advisable. IT is, of course, impor-
tant to the individual. but 1t throws
no light upon the problem Of the flu
ture of that particular security.
The same rule does not apply in
investment matters as in speculative

vagaries are unintentional.
There Is a growing demand in the
financial world for policies of full and
open publicity in respect to earning
power and assets on the part of cor
poratiOnS. The New York Stock Elk.
change is at the forefront of the
campaign for more completeness and
more frequency. in respect to financial
reports. There is at present wide
diversity as to the current practices
of corporations, and in the present
situation it takes great skill to COM
pare the performances of corporations
which have widely divergent policies
in respect to publicity. Outside of
the railroad field the American Tele-
phone & Telegraph Co., the United
States Steel Corporation and the Gen
eral Motors Corporation are leaders
in the fullness and candor of their
current reports to shareholders con-
corning the success or failure of the
enterprise in which they are inter
ested. On the other hand, the Mackay
Cos, which is listed on the Stock
Exchange, issues an annual report
which tells little or nothing.
Railway Reports Best.
1t is holding company, and in it's
income report lists only the dividends
extracted from operating subsidiary
companies. including the Postal Tele-
graph Co.. revealing no figures for
the operating company. AS a class,
the railroads publish the best reports
of earnings in accordance with stan
dardiZed form, as prescribed by the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
Other factors being equal, it is bet.
ter to buy securities of companies
that issue full and frequent earnings
reports. If you do not understand the
meaning Of the figures yourself, you
may be sure that they will be reflect
ed more or less in market prices of
the securities.
But, as the Nation becomes coun-
try of investors, the need of training in
the schools concerning the language
of ccounting-should be APP
parent to all.
Adults who have finished their for
NAL schooling, who are DESTROYS of do
ing some Independent reading along
accounting lines, can profitably do so.

THE BUSINESS OF GETTING
AHEAD.
Reading Financial Statements.

The widespread diffusion of owner
ship of corporate securities in the
United States creates a need hiterto
non-existent for general training in
the reading and Interpretation of
financial reports.
The clamor for corporations to
publish fuller reports concerning their
earnings and their assets will be I'M
availing, unless the vast public on
the receiving end develops a capacity
to understand the story behind the
figures.
1t Is clearly an educational problem.
Training in bookkeeping should no
longer be reserved exclusively for
accountants. Practice in reading and
interpreting the language of accoun-
fancy should be incorporated for all
students in the high schools--as a
branch OF applied arithmetic Such
a course would plainly be of greater
practical value to students than pres
ent high school courses in trigo-
nometry and calculates, which though
Of great value to handful of scientists
and engineers, are of no direct worth
to the general run of students who
will eventually enter business and
the non-engineering professions.
Until recently. accounting training
training bookkeepers. A new type of
course has been introduced into some
of the more progressive schools and
universities for the consumers, rather
than the producers, of figures. These
courses are intended to make 1t feast.
BILE for bankers. bond statesmen, inves-
tors, and business men to grasp quick
ly the meaning of items In corporate
balance sheets and income accounts.
Obscurities Give Trouble.
With comparatively little prelimi-
nary training, the average intelligent
person can readily size up the main
features of clearly drawn up finan-
cial statement. The difficulties arise
primarily from obscurities in the
statements themselves. Sometimes
