WATERS FIND RICHES
In CHAMPAGNE CORKS
Collect Thousands of Them and Con.

Their Club Library.

New York. March THAT champagne
ccrks may be made an actual source OF
riches is the novel discovery just made
by New York walters. AS a result the
walters pursuit Of literature is booming.
for the corks actually are being convert
ed into books to be used in the rooms OF
their association, and many standard
sets already have been purchased with
the income from this novel source
The plan of collecting champagne corks
has been in operation about four months,
during which time thousands OF corks
have been gathered in. The corks are
obtained from the bottles of wine ordered
in the cafes and restaurants along
Broadway. and are brought to the asso-
citation headquarters, where they are
stored in barrels until such time as there
are enough to net a fair price.
The first batch. 5000 corks, brought
s. cents Il gross, netting about Sc. Then
another cork dealer heard what the
walters were doing and offered better
price. The association set the two deal
ers to bidding, and finally one agreed to
take the collection at s. cents a gross.
The largest collection for any one day
was after the night before" New Years,
at which time more than 1000 corks found
their way into the barrels. The present
accumulation, II placed I'm a pile, would
make a mound three feet in height and
six feet in diameter. 1t is estimated
there are at least 1000 in the batch The
association has netted so far $50 from

STOCK EXCHANGE
HAS RIGID CODE.
New York Institution Fixes
Strict Rules for Personal
Conduct.
POWER TO GOVERNORS
May Expel Members Without Re-
course on His Part-Sustained
by Courts.

The New York Stock Exchange has
the most rigid code OF rules for per-
sonal conduct Of any business organi-
zation or club in the United States. as
described by witnesses who have testi-
fed before Congressional committees
regarding stock exchange legislation.
As the brokers direct the operation
of the exchange through despotic dis
ciplinary measures. there appears the
reason for their opposition to regula-
tion, which would throw into the
courts the disputes which arise In the
exchange and which now are carefully
concealed from the public.
II broker calls another a liar he
is subject to suspension, and. accord
ing 10 members, Is suspended for q
time. Even an exhibition of bad tenn
per is likely to cost broker his rights
on the floor for time The enforce
ment OF such a code is not equaled by
any club.
The rules of the exchange place IL
in the power of the board of governors
to expel a member without recourse
on his part for any act which mill
tates against fair dealing or anything
that tends to operate against the best
interests of the exchange. In buying
seat and becoming q member a
broker literally signs the constitution
and the bylaws of the organization.
He places himself unreservedly In the
hands of the board of governors. This
body. exercising supreme authority
over 1,l00 men, is composed OF forty
members of the exchange. serving for
four years. Ten are elected each year.
so that a continual rotation or the
members of the board Of governors Is
assured.
The necessity for it appears to the
laymsn to consist In the extremely In
tangible basis on which contracts are
made. During a busy day II Is touch

the broker happens TO be trading for
himself. but :he contracts are religiousiy
fulfilled. II Is matter Of record, MEM
bers of the exchange declare, that there
is seldom the slightest question about
what these agreements are and that the
exchange proceeds smoothly.
The board OF governors, members Of
that body assert. expels or suspends for
a long period one member about every
year The short term suspensions and
the imposition or fines occur practically
every week. Publicity is not given these
sentences.
Some of the decisions of the governors
have been taken into the courts. J. c.
Milburn, counsel for the exchange, told
the Senate Committee on Banking and
Currency that the decisions OF the gov
ernors always had been upheld in the
courts.

the rapidity of mushrooms They are to

beauty has become impossible.

idea OF growing old gracefully belongs TO
a by-gone generation. Women Of all ages
wear the same costumes and the same
colors- They have the same opinions and
the same ardor of enjoyment. Only in
the provinces does one find today elder
ly ladies who inspire confidence.
In Paris the ravages of time are re-
quired by the institutes of beauty, and
these are In such demand that every
hairdresser's shop has put up a sign
'Institut de Beaute.' Even some barber
shops are hanging out shingles bearing
those magic words. For the beauty doc
tors are not all women. Institutes of
beauty promising youth and freshness
are frequently conducted by men. And
the tale of how Marshal de Richelieu COM
batted old age is known in every insti-
tute.
The marshal's skin got too big for his
face as he grew old. To prevent II from
wrinkling he used to have it pressed up
and tied on the top of his head every
morning.
Every night when retiring he had veal
outlets attached to his sunken checks so
as to give them freshness.
