SHARES WITHOUT PAR VALUE.
Considerable attention is being
given to legislative reforms that have
been carried into effect by the laws
of Alabama, California, Idaho, Col
orada, Delaware, Illinois, Kansas,
Maine, North Caroline, Maryland,
Massachusetts,, New Hampshire,
New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Penn
sylvania, Rhode Island, Utah, Vir-
gina, and Wisconsin, making it COM
pulsory for the directors of corpora
tions to fix the consideration for
which shares of stock may be issued;
or providing that in addition to
stating the number of shares au-
thorized, the certificates of incor-
poration shall also set forth an
amount of capital with which the
corporation is to carry on business,
this usually being an amount equal
| to SIS, or some multiple thereof, for
each share authorized; and making
the directors personally liable for
the debts of the corporation until
this amount has been paid in. The
theory of non-paf value is that shares
are merely an evidence OF the pro-
rata interest Of capital and earnings.
The legislation is most states recog-
nizes capital" and earnings" as
fundamentally different, and dis
solves the commonly accepted theory
their fixed relationship. One State
has explained: "The intent and pur-
pose of this act is to require a share
OF stock to be treated and represent
ed, subject to lawful rights, pri-
vileges, limitations and restrictions,
as mere evidence of an aliquot part
or divisional interest of the assets
and earnings of the corporation is
suing the same, whatever the extent
of value of such assets or earnings
may be, to the end that misrepre-
sentation or misunderstanding aris-
ing through the difference between
actual value of share of stock and
the value appearing on the face
of the certificate therefor may be
eliminated.
1t is wholly unnecessary to state
that there have been numberless is
sues of stock whose printed value
was governed entirely by the i'm
agination. Mining and oil promo
tiers visualized their dreams in long
rows of ciphers. A far greater
abuse has been perpetrated through
actual deception- minus the dreams
by means of which "watered stock"
has been unloaded on the public. The
principle has been the same regard
less of whether it was foisted on
Wall Street or Smiths Crossroads.
The United States government has
been engaged for several years i'm
making a physical valuation of the
railroads of the country. Perhaps
the results will help to fix the, actual
par value of shares Of the different
carriers. It must not be overlook,
ed, however, that in the legislation
enacted by the several States emu
merated above TIE earnings" is an
item of Importance quite equal to
that of capital" when it comes to
fixing the price Of shares. The
theory of the several States is to
make it plain to the investor that
his dollar has definite value, no
matter whether-he is buying pound
of coffee, drink of soda, or share
of stock.

"HUMANIzING" LEGISLATION.

The Senate has before it the Shep-
pard- Towner bill which, regulates ma
ternity and infancy rights. This
measure is sometimes called the
'baby BILL" because among it pro-
visions is included the care Of babies
and small children whose mothers
are obliged to leave them in order
to work for their support.
Still another measure known IS
the Public Welfare bill is being
worked out in Congress, with Cen
eral Sawyer, physician to President
Harding, directing it's course. The
President stands sponsor for this
measure, and as result there is
likely to be early action. 1t pro-
vides for a Department Of Public
Welfare, and it is urged that the
creating of this branch of govern
ment work will find favor in the

SUN HAS SET ON CAREER OF
jim THORPE, WONDER ATHLETE
(By Norman e. Brown.)

IL Few athletes receive a unanimous
vgte when fans or experts vote on
'the greatest man. in any branch of
3port. Jim Thorpe is n OF these
5nen h at some time OF other have
5stood out 50 prominently in their pro-
Yfession that there is no doubt as to
their greatness. Consequently the
passing Of the Indian wonder from
athletics draws attention and regret.
Thorpe announced when his pro-
feHioual football team played it's A.
nal game of the aso a short time
ago that he had ended his days on the
gridiron. And it is a good bet that he
will not return to baseball. Time has
taken it's toll. %
Football experts are agreed to a
man hat Jim Thorpe was the great
game. And this never was intended
to belittle the wonderful playing of
Ned Mahan, Ted Coy, Willie Heston
and other stars.
Thorpe simply lived for football. !
Starred for Years.
Jim was a product of the Carlisle
Indian school, which produced Frank
Mount Pleasant and other great Red
man stars. He first attracted attention
in 1901 at the age of sixteen. starring
in track and field events and at foot
Dali. But IL was not Until several years
later that his wonderful playing under
Glen Warmers tutelage won him
worldwide fame. Fleet as a deer,
brainy in his handling of the ball and
his running, superbly built for speed
and endurance, and possessing the
colorful setting aided by. the flowing
of Indian blood in his veins. he was
the most talked of athlete Of his day.
For four years at the Indian school
he played the caliber of football
against college teams that caused him
to be placed on the All-Amertcan
teams each year.
In 1912 he added to his fame by go
ing to Stockholm with the American
Olympic team and there this really
native American startled the athletic
world by winning both the p%entathlon
and decathon titles. In the events in
which Thorpe was entered the judges
! work consisted mainly in figuring out
who finished second, third and fourth.
And then occurred the only blemish
in Thorpe's career. The Amateur Ath-
| letic union investigated charges that
Thorpe had performed al a profess
sional. The charges ended in Thorpe
returning his Olympic medals. The
| charges, nevertheless. did not dim the
greatness of his proves as an athlete.
He had played baseball during his
school days and John McGraw, with
an. eye to the drawing powers OF the
great athlete, signed him to play with
the Giants.
AS a drawing caro- Thorpe was a
success for a while. His general play

HOLSTERS WORK
OUT new SYSTEM
: FOR FOOTBALL
Oates" Will Be Barred
Completely During Foot
ball Season.

Indianapolis, Ind, Dec. ga new
system in football training is being
worked out at Indiana university for
Roscoe (Cow) Minton, former Indi-
ana gridiron star and coach of the
freshman squad last season. The
plans were let out at the recent BAN
quet here of the Indianapolis alumni
for the team. Here are some Of the
proposals.
Dates will be barred completely
during football seasons at Indiana
hereafter.
All "he-men'' are expected to try
out for the football team.
Only a physicians certificate of
inability will prevent a student who
does not ppear in football toys from
being placed on the Stacker list.
Freshmen will be taught football
instead of trying to learn the plays
of the different ~elevens Indiana will
meet during the
Second. third or fourth elevens will
be used for the varsity battering ram
so that the freshmen when they be-
come eligible for the varsity, will
know something about football instead
of merely having a conglomerate mass
of plays as used by the universities
of the central west running through
LneiT NedQS. ~.
The plan has met with favor among
the faculty and undergraduates at the
university. and was received enthnd-
asticafy by the alumni. ~. -,
A new spirit has dawned already at
the university, according to reports at
the dinner. 1t was related how one
athlete did not want to get mussed
up by tackling opposing players In
forming interference for the mar with
the ball. He therefore spent most of
last season warming the bench and
was almost completely ostracized by
his classmates, the co-eds in par
ticular, it is said.
Coach Ewald o. Stiehm told Of the
difficulties Of schedule making and
stated hat while the 1922 football
card was not all that could be desired,
it was the best o%btainable and made
a better schedule possible IN 1928.
Indiana's 1922 football schedule
follows:
Oct. 7-De Paw at Bloomington.
Oct. 1+Minnesota at Indianapolis.
Oct. 21-Wsconsin at Madison.
Oct. 28-Michigan Aggies at Bloom

ing, too, was satisfactory. But he
could o master big league pitching.
Long hours Of coaching by McGraw
and his li%eutenants failed to remedy
Thorpe's weakness as a batter against
c~urved-ball pitching. Eventually he
was sent to the minors. He has been
back and forth several times since,
playing with the Reds, Milwaukee and
Akron. oH ~" =
Football His Favoritc.
Neither track athletics nor baseball
could make Thorpe forget his first
love, football, however. He was sought
by the leading professional teams ev-
cry fall. For several years he led and
was the star of the Canton, O., team,
which claimed the worlds title repeat
eddy. Thorpe's ability to maintain his
wonderful speed and endurance and
ability through a of grueling con-
tests against the picked graduates Of
American colleges "a phenomenal.
But g finally told. The past season
found him handicapped with injuries
something new to the elusive
Thorpe. And his speed was missing.
So it looks like goodbye to the
greatest Redman that ever wore a
spiked shoe.
