Col. George Harvey. who used to be

Christmas Eve in Paris for cen

booths extending from the Place de la

at La Trinitc, and there in the organ
gallery, the great master, surrounded
by his pupils and friends, would play
as if inspired, for Guilmant loved

The Horrible and the Absurd,
(Collicr's Weekly.


IF our after-the-war playwrieh hts
ever find themselves short of materi-
al" says our Paris contemporary
''L'OEuvre," we recommend to them
the history Of the Russian revolution
as an inexhaustibie mine. There the
horrible rubs elbows with tho absurd:
the shiver and the mad laugh alter
nate a true repertory for the Grand
Guignol." AS one eXample-there are
thousand hcrs--''L'O Euvre' calls
our attention to the following Statute
Relative to Women, Issued by the
Soviet of Vladimir" and published in
'IZvestia,'' tho official monitor Of the
Committee of WOrkmen and Soldiers:
EVERY woman who has reached her
eighteenth year is declared the pro-
perry of the state.
Every woman of eighteen yea RS
not already married is obliged, under
pain of very severe penalties, to regis
ter at the Bureau of Free Love
"Once registered, she has the right
to choose a mate wherever she wishes,
among men ranging in age from nine
teen to fifty.
Notes.
Il. The consent of a man thus
chosen is not necessary, and he has
no right of protest.
%. Men from nineteen to fifty have
also the right to choose women from
among those who have reached the
eighteenth year; the woman's consent
is not necessary.
20. Children issuing from these
unions become the property of the
state"
All this, no doubt. the result of pro-
found cogitations by some serious
philosopher Of human morals, hell
bent on the Improvement Of the race.
But doesn't it sound like some prepos-
ferrous masque of mock marriage that
one might expect to find at wild
Greenwich Village ball?

MT. CREEL COMES HOME,

Few acts by George Creel have 50

CURLING CROOKED PROMOTERS

The Capital Issues Committee which
dors the robe of authority on Deem
Der 81 can render no greater service
to the country than by recommend
ing to Congress Legislation which will
prevent stock fraud impcsitons. The
committee announces that it is pre-
pared to take this course in a Sup
plenleI1ta ry report to Congress-
Every year the public is nulcted of
millions of dollars through the issu-
ance of worthless stock. Some Of this
stock is without value because dis
honest promoters never intend 1t shall
have any value Other stock is worth
less because it is issued to finance en-
terprises launched without mature
and expert business judgment. The
former is vicious and criminal The
latter is above the law but the in
weston has nothing to show for his
money except the regrets of the pro-
motors. And that is a poor substi-
tute for dividends. In many cases the
widow and orphan arc deprived of
their inheritances and actual suffer-
ing is caused. Widows and orphans
make sweet pickings for the crooked
stock salesman.
Referring to This situation, the
committee states
The extent of the menace, due
to the issue of such securities to
the holders of government bonds
is revealed by the fact that
b schools are being established in
some parts of the country to drill
statesmen in the art OF persuading
investors to subscribe for unmer-
torious or worthless securities
This can only be prevented by
legislation vesting in some duly
constituted public agency full
power to restrain the offering of
fraudulent or worthless securi-
ties.
The capital issues committee
warns the public and earnestly
directs the attention of Congress
to the problem. 1t is the inten-
ton of the committee to make
supplementary report to Congress
recommending q law TO prevent
these existing abuses and such i'm
positions upon the investing pub
lie.
\ public agency with full power
to restrain the offering of fraudulent
or worthless securities" would prove
powerful medicine. Such an estab-
1ishment would not he necessary if
people would exercise common sense
and seek the advice of a reliable
| banker in their home town before in
vesting their money.
