POPE TO INACCURATE.
WORLDS SMALLEST
Rail SYSTEM SOON
Vatican City Railroad, Having
Double Tracks, Is But
600 Feet Long

Vatican City, March 18th,
The smallest railroad in the world
will be inaugurated here in q few
months.
It is the Pope's own railroad on
which he can journey to the out
side world and on which visiting car
dials or heads of state or papal rep
1e%sentatives a enter the Vatican
City.
Only 600 feet long, 1t has double
tracks, several switches and a big
railroad station that would do JUS
tice to a railroad 600 miles long.
A hundred OF more workmen have
been busy since last April construct
ing the Zine" In back of st. Peters.
They have dug a 300-foot tunnel
into the Vatical Hill. It will be used
as the yard" OF the railroad, and
in 1t locomotives and cars, including
the Pope's special train, will be kept
and trains made up.
Bridge Was Necessary
The difference in level between the
southern side of Vatican City, where
the railroad begins, and the part Of
Rome that touches on Vatican City,
has neccssitated construction of q
bridge connecting the Vatican rail-
road with the Italian state railroad.
A section of the wall Of the papal
city was demolished. The bridge is
120 feet long-in fact, longer than
the Vatican railroad itself. Some of
its arches are IS feet high.
A beautiful ~poli-centric arch has
been built at the spot where the rail-
road enters Vatican City. It carries
two gates of iron and bronze.
The station, for its size, is one Of
ii the world. 1t is built in travertine
stone Of a soft rose color.
It is 100 feet long and has q CEN
trail hall 60 feet long, which will be
used as the "salone d'onore," or re-
ception room for august visitors.
The station will not be called upon
to handle much passenger traffic.
Passengers Are Limited
The railroad is not destined to ar
ry ordinary passengers, but merely
the Pope himself, papal nunci6s to
foreign countries, visiting cardinals,
bishops. nuncios, heads of states,
kings, princes and members of royal
fsmilies.
The road will do a modest freight
business. Is foodstuffs and merchan-
disc will come into Vatican City d.
lectly. In accordance with the Lat
Gran treaties no duty will have to
be paid OH these goods.
A great effort has been made to
prevent the modern garishness Of q
lailroad from conflicting with the ar
chitectural treasures of Vatican City.
scftened by centuries.
The Vatican hill, into which the
tunnel has penetrated, has been Or
namented with fountains, and land
scape architects have turned it into
\ garden spot.

Buying for Profit
BY GEORGE T, HUGHES.

One Of the phrases constantly used In
the talk about the brokerage Offices IN
Wall Street is good buying" Some
times they reverse it and say there is
good selling" in this or that stock.
What they mean is that the buyers or
the sellers, as the case may be, are
people of large means and well informed.
The small fry are supposed to do well
If they follow this good buying or this
good selling. No assumption could be
more dangerous. Sometimes when a
small investor Is asked to buy a stock
he is shown the list of directors, con-
tanning names of prominence, represent
ative of great wealth. This Is supposed
to be a sure indication of safety. 1t is
nothing of the kind. AS matter OF
fact, the big fellows make as many mis-
takes as the small ones do. They lose
more money. The only difference is
that when a rich man loses money, 1t
Is not a disaster.
In support of this thesis may be evi-
denced the portfolios of the investment
trusts, which were organized with SO
much assurance back in the now almost
forgotten days Of the bull market. These
investment trusts, as well as certain
financial organizations, normally large
buyers of common stocks, loaded up
est prices, but at levels which look abb
surdly high nowadays. Sometimes they
sold out at a loss and sometimes they
held on at larger loss, but one as yet
not accepted.
These trusts were understood to have,
and did have, the benefit of the best
advice that the financial world could
offer. There is only one of two con-
clusions possible-either that they did
not act on the advice given, or that the
advice was bad OF course it will all
work out eventually. The stronger Of
these organizations have large resources
and can afford to hold on until the re-
turn of normal times In business and in
the security markets.
The point is that the small capitalist
who took his cue from what he could
learn about the commitments of the
large capitalist made a mistake more
serious to him than were the errors OF
these more important people. There is
only one yardstick to use in measuring
the value of securities and that is merit.

There Is nothing for you to do but sit

of these rubber fingers that the patting
sensation is almost imperceptible. The

removable for cleaning and are inter-
changeable with tips designed espe-
