LYRIC

AmerIca's Secret Service, some times referred to as the "eye of the nation" always contains an element of interest to the general public be- cause of the unheraIded success which follow it's operations and the secrecy which surrounds the movements of its operatives. Agents in the service, both men and women, are aways at nand when wanted, and when the criminal, whether of low or high de- gree, least suspects their presence they find themselves in the tolls of Uncle san's drag net which slowly but sure- lv draws it's meshes about the offender relentlessly.
 The play is one of the strongest that has ever been produced by the play CTS since their first appearance in Bridgeport and the manner in which they have done justice to their parts makes them deserving of full meas ure of credit This is particularly true of the work of the leading lady, Miss Alice Clements, who scores repeatedly in the dual role of Sylvie Engot the wife of a thief and as Mrs. Helene Faber. the wife of a prospective Amer ican ambassador and a secret opera tive Of the famous secret IFACS' '5SE ond only to her is the work of Walter Marshall who as Henri Delcasse, Turco spy and German agent keeps her busy not only in trying to discover and frustate his plans but in hiding her identity as the wife of the thte1 early In the story.

The program is to be carried out in connection. with the one hundredth anniversary of the Church and the money is to be used for extending the church's work throughout the world.
 John L. Stone, chairman of the committee in charge of raising the fund said that with the business ex- pension which will follow the declara- tion of peace, there also must be spiritual aid.
 Shall Americas activities in this new day of peace be solely commer- Cial?' he asked. Such an outcome would give the lie to our present pro- testants and could be interpreted as proof of the long sighted mercernary shrewness."

rating the business Of financing ship

ticular attention to investments in

issued by the Kogyo Ginko to absorb
capital for investment abroad are to be
regarded by the Bank of Japan as being
on a footing with national bonds, and
thus every facility will be afforded for

Liberty Shoes" Expected

Government control Of leather and
footwear is coming nearer. Prices for
hides have been officially fixed for an
experimental period of three months,
and the next natural move would be in
the direction of establishing maximum
prices for leather, which, in turn,
would pave the way for the appearance
of the Liberty shoe," which some
manufacturers believe to be inevitable.
The establishment of standard ma
tional shoe, with maximum price, ac-
companied probably by the fixing Of
maximum profits on other shoes, has
been the subject Of various confer
ences recently. These drastic regula-
tions, of course, will affect the several
hundred shoe manufacturers Of New
England to a greater or less degree,
but the more far-sighted manufactur-
ers appear to be Of the opinion that

What Is Stock Worth?

With the absence of official informa-
tion concerning the character of the
latest offer by British interests to take
over the International Mercantile Ma
rine Company's English tonnage specu-
lation is now rife in Wall Street over
the possible benefits to the stockhold-
ers if the deal is put over. Some op-
timists have gone so far as to predict
that the preferred stock should be
worth from $125 to $140 a share under
the plan. These same people are not 80
sanguine as to what the common stock
holders would get. All agree, however,
that the outstanding 6 per cent bonds
would be retired at 10, the call price.
1t would not be surprising to see the
old fight between the common and pre-
ferred shareholders revived before the
present negotiations have gone very
far.
