Blue SKY Law constItutIonaI.


Secretary of State Power, having
made formal request of. Attorney
General Collins for statement of the
salient points of chapter 81 Of the acts
of 1916, being "An act to regulate the
sale and purchase in Mississippi Of
stocks of private, foreign and domes-
tic corporations" ETC., in other words,
the "blue sky law" Gen. Collins has
gone into the act very thoroughly and
has rendered an official opinion. which
will be well worth careful study.
The law was approved by the gov
ernor April 8, 1916, and became effec-
tive on June 2. The attorney general
opines that the law is constitutional,
that 1t is illegal to sell or offer for
sale any foreign or domestic corpora
tion stocks that do not have real tan
gible assets behind the concern that
all values other than cash for stock
must be passed by a duly qualified
state officer or commission appointed
by the governor; applies equally to in
creases of stock out of proportion to
the real value thereof; does not apply
to corporations organized prior to the
enactment; provides for severe pun
ishment for the violation of its pro-
visions.

To Keep Skin Healthy
Youthful, Wrinkleless

Now that the social season is here,
be especially careful to keep your skin
in fine condition. You know how con-
spicuous complexion defects appear
under the bright light of the drawing
or ball room. Also how very evident
are some makeups when similarly IL
Eliminated. I have myself discarded
cosmetics entirely, using process
which gives far better results. and
which leaves no trace on the skin. At
night 1 smear on a thin coat of ordi-
nary mercolized wax. washing it off
next morning. This gradually absorbs
the devitalized particles of surface
skin; just as gradually the more youth
full skin beneath comes forth, providing
complexion as clear smooth and deli
cately tinted as a young girls. Get an
ounce of mercolized wax at your drug
gists and try this remarkable treat
ment.
Remember, too, that wrinkles. even
the finer lines, are not easily concealed
In brilliantly lighted room. You can
quickly obliterate these hateful marks
by bathing your face in a solution of
powdered saxolite. one ounce, dissolved
in witch hazel, one-half pint. And your
face won't look sticky, as after using
pastes.--Aunt Sally in Womans Realm.

quickly he averted a wreck, but half
a dozen of the passengers on the bus

EYRE GIVES HELP
TOBALDWIN MEN
Chester County Senator Says
That He Is Satisfied Bald
win Will Be Elected

T. Larry Eyre, Senator elect from
nor's managers in his fight for local
option in the session of 1915, came out
in a statement last night in which he
strongly urged the selection of Repre-
sentative Richard ]. Baldwin, of Del
aware county, for speaker of the
House.
The statement, which created con-
siderable stir at the Capitol, gave the
result of study of the situation by
Mr.. Eyre in the course of which he
said that he was satisfied that Mr.
Baldwin would be elected.
Mr.. Eyre said: II have canvassed
the speakership situation very care
fully, and am thoroughly satisfied that
Mr.. Baldwin will be the next speaker
of the House of Representatives with
at least ITO vote for him in the Re-
publican caucus on the first ballot,
which is more than a sufficient num-
Der to insure his election on the floor
of the House.
Il have read the claims of the op-
position, and from personal knowl
edge of the situation know that many
OF the assertions are without founda-
ton in fact, and are simply put forth
for the purpose of trying to influence
votes.
'Mr. Baldwin has unquestionably
represented the views of the constitu-
ency that sent him to Harrisburg, as
is strongly evidenced by the large ma
jority which he had in his district both
at the recent primaries and the recent
general election.
Chester county has not always been
in accord with the views of the Rep
resentatives of Delaware county, but
has always found that Mr.. Baldwin
was out in the open in his advocacy of
any issue that he believed the majority
of his constituency favored, and there
is not the least doubt that Mr.. Bald
win will give to all labor bills, local
option bills and bills of any other
character the widest latitude that
could be accorded by anyone else who
could occupy the position of speaker.
II have absolute confidence in the
wisdom of the trainers of the Constitu-
tion, when they separated the govern
ment into three branches-eXecutive,
Legislative and judicial-and / do not
think that one branch of government,
by coercion or otherwise, should at
tempt to direct the action of another
branch in the selection of a presiding
officer.
II believe that the factional politics
of Philadelphia should not be injected
into speakership contest, nor do l
think the speaker of the House should
come from Philadelphia, as that city
to-day has more than her fair proper
ton of the offices in the State of Penn
sylvania. The speaker, in my judg-
ment, should come from q country
district, and should be a man who has
had the legislative experience that
qualities him to command the respect
of the entire membership of the House
of Representatives, and in looking
over the membership of the House
of Represe it must be conceded
that there is no man who possesses
these qualifications to the same de-
gree as they are possessed by Richard
J. Baldwin, of Delaware county, who
will certainly be the next speaker of
the House of Representatives at Har-
risburg."
