The idea is that should develop ments unfavorably affect any one in dustry or any one section the others would not be involved. People who write to me for advice upon invest ments continually declare that they wan£ "absolute safety.” Now there Is no such thing as absolute safety. Safety is a relative term. The saf est investments are United States government bonds and the factor of safety declines as you go dowti the list and as the return on the invest ment rises. That is to say roughly as a class investments returning 6 per cent are than those re turning 7 per cent. There are, of course.

But these are exceptions and the untrained investor is in no position to recognize them. He may, however, compensate partly for the additional risk by this prin ciple of diversification. It will be at once obvious that when ones capi tal is very small it is impossible to diversify. This is one of the rea sons why the small investor should take only securities of the highest grade. It should be added also that while diversification is generally an advantage it can be carried to an extreme. If you divide up your funds among too many different kinds of bonds it becomes difficult to keep yourself properly Informed. And everyone should be able more or less to keep in touch with the affairs of the corporation or in dustry in which he is financially In terested. This last rule Is one to keep in mind when you are aakfcd to put your money in some enter prise a long way from home. Christian One Os Witnesses ’ Before Jury WASHINGTON, June 3.—George B.
