quently adverted to in THE HERALD, and
the reasons hardly call for recapitulation
now. 1t is sufficient to say that such an
institution could bring around a more sys-
tematic and economical method of
handling real estate than prevails at pres
ent, with results far more satisfactory to
buyers. sellers and agents than those now
obtainable; and that the stocks and bonds
of the multitude of corporations doing
business or having headquarters in South
ern California could find list
ing place which would in time
place them in their true light before
the public, thus enabling the investor to
deal intelligently with them. As it
is now there is no definite authority on the
value of local stocks and bonds. and an
estimate of their respective values must be
based on street corner gossip and private
Information, neither of which is always re-
liable. There is here an abundance of
capital that would be invested in the shares
and securities of Southern California cor
porations, and thus be used in important
developing enterprises, if the values of
these shares and securities were publicly
fixed as would be done through an ex-
change in which they were openly bought

He made the first of his long promised ex-

was not complete success, yet it showed
some results. John Wexford, an en-

the subject. The exposure was an hour

was developed some remarkable results
were found. clearly defined RADIO
graph was obtained of the head, showing
it's Conformation, the position OF the ears
and the thinness of the hair in spots. In

where. One difficulty was shown, that of
