BANKERS FAVOR BLUE
 LAW ON STOCKS

(Continued From Page One.) should say that the most natural thought of a business man would be to favor such legislation. There are large amounts of money taken out of town by these 'fly-by-night' concerns which if not spent in this way would be turned into the channels of legi- innate business and the merchants would be benefited by it.
 There should also be such a law to authorize some one to pass on the value of such stocks and securities be- fore they are offered for sale in or der to protect the laboring man for he is the one oftenest the loser and the one who most frequently believes the misleading advertisements of such concerns
 t-I should be in favor of such an act.''
 Samuel B. Plotkin, lawyer said: :: '1 should favor such an act. because it would tend to protect the innocent victims of such promotion schemes and most of those who fall for them are inexperienced. You can never entirely do away with fraud and worthless schemes but by such an act you could make it much more difficult for them to succeed and re- duce them to a minimum. Let us have such an act by all means"

PARIS SPURNS
 "SOuP AND FISH''

Paris-The Parisian dandy who used to be caricatured in the Amer ican funny papers is as dead as one of the nails in PharaohS coffin. He has been replaced by a broad-should- cred young man who goes to the the atre in a colored shirt and a soft col lar and likes ito wear his ordinary business duds to a. dance.
 No amount of soft persuasion by French society critics, led by Andre de Fouquieres, the nations Beau BrummeI, nor of biting attacks in some of the Paris newspapers on the present ''rough-neck'' modes in men s dress, can ever bring him back. One Frenchman who was asked to stop dancing in the ''swellest' Paris res taurant because he wore sack suit created such a scene that many guests fled, fearing he was about to wreck
 No More Stiff Collars.
 The latest lament on the subject of soft collars comes from Edouard Pon- tie, well known writer. In about a column and a half Pontie sheds tears over the departure of the Partisan who knew how to dress and bemoans the fact that Frenchmen got out of the habit of wearing stiff collars dur ing the war and simply can't be drag ged back to style.
 Years Eve when these fellows were forced to wear something like evening dress they only donned dinner coats and actually appeared in soft collars" writes Pontie. All pohteness and all correctness in mems dress have de- parted
 It's Positively Shocking.
 'SThe thing is more shocking when we consider that these roughly dressec Frenchmen are seated with parties of women more gorgeously gowned than before the war. The women parade beautiful decollete robes, pearl neck laces and diamonds. But their danc- ing partners look as if they had des- cended from some centre of Apaches- It is up to the women themselves to call men to their senses"
 One dancing club after another and one restaurant after another has sought to enforce the "evening dress only'' rule for men, but the only 'eve- ming dressers' are foreigners out do- ing the sights. In perhaps the best known restaurant in Paris a few nights ago, Frenchman wearing hunting jacket, corduroy brooches and leather puttees danced among a crowd of Americans and Englishmen all in evening clothes and he didn't seem to feel at all out of place.

JAPANESE WOMEN CLAMORINC FOR
 MORE EDUCATION

Tokio-The problem of Japanese women seeking higher education is not to demand that the doors of the Imperial University be opened to them but to improve and raise the standards of their present schools so that they will be prepared for en- trance to the university. in the opin- ion of Mrs. Lillian Francis Fitch, rep resenting the bureau of education of the department of the interior of the United States, who has spent the past four months in the Japanese Empire on an official investigat tion for the American government.
 "At present" says Mrs. Fitch, ''the schools For girls here are in many resjects excellent, but they do not go high enough in their work. The girl who is graduated from them is not equipped to enter the Imperial University, but should have further training
 Mrs. Fitch who came to Japan last September as the first stage of a tour around the world for the bureau at Washington has made an extensive study and investigation of women's school in the Empire. She has con ferred with Marquis Okuma and other leaders of Japanese life and thought and has addressed many of the girl students of the nation.
 The movement for the admission of women to the higher schols is ra- pidly gaining momentum, the Amer ican Educator thinks.

CHINA PUTTING
 DOWN BANDITRY

Shanghai-ReportS brought to Shanghai by river craft from the- up per Yangtsze are that the Chinese authorities in seeking to quel1 out lawry and suppress disorder. follow ing the footing of the city of Ichang by mutinous troops, have adopted the most drastic methods. All captured bandits. say the reports, are executed with little or no formality.
 A scene characteristic of descrip- tionS of the working of Chinese jus tice was described by Captain T. F. Doyle, of the steamer Mai Shun which recently came to Shanghai. When his steamer was at Wanhsien coaling Captain Doyle said those aboard saw 2S culprits led to the river bank. These were forced to kneel in a line and then the execu- tioner with his heavy two-handed sword proceeded slowly down the line, a head falling with each swing of the sword.
 Such wholesale executions, the cap tain said became almost daily event in the winter months at centerS on the river like Wanhsien.
