|OIL STOCK SWINDLES
TO BE INVESTIGATED
BY ADVERTISING CLUB

NEW YORK, Sept. pa movement
of far-reaching influence has been in
augurated by the Associated Adver-
Using clubs for the suppression Of the
advertising and sale of fake invest
ment securities, and particularly oil
stocks, and the public is being asked
TO take an important part in curbing
the sale of such securities.
The greatest difficulty in all such
work, says Richard H. Lee, counsel
of the National Vigilance committee
OF the advertising association, arises
from the fact that the average person
who is defrauded in such deals, usual
| ly swallows his loss and tries to forget
| it.
| No action is taken against those
who have separated the victim from
his money because he shrinks from
publicity in connection with the mat
/ ter.
Campaign is Advertised.
| Now, the association has plans
which will not call for any publicity,
so far as the individual investor is
concerned, and the organization seeks
/ information from individuals as
means for helping save the money OF
other people who may be defrauded
| unless action is taken.
| In this connection, advertisements
are being placed in publications which
| hold membership in the advertising
! association and are thus helping to
put the good work forward, asking in
/ vestors to write, in confidence, con-
corning their experiences. They are
asked to answer the following ques-
lions, addressing their letters, in con-
fidence, to Richard H. Lee. 10 West
Fortieth street, New York city:
\ l. Have you during the last year
bought stock in any oil companies, or
oil leases or oil land?
2. Please give the names of the
company or companies.
4 g. How much did you invest?
i A. What returns have you received
: from your investment?
Il 5. What Mere the representations
made to you at the time you bought?
j 6. Are you satisfied with your bar
gain?
l., Z. What is your occupation?
g. Did you draw the money out OF
a savings account to make this invest
ment?
8. Whom did you consult before
! you made this investment?
, Following the survey that is be
ing made, the advertising associa-
ton is planning vigorous, nation
: wide campaign to educate the public
, to recognize the ear-marks of fraud in
] investments and to drive fake promo
! tiers into more useful occupations.

JUDGE RULES SOON
ON DEMURRER FILED
BY CHICAGO TRIBUNE

CHICAGO, Sept 24-The final ar
guments on the demurrer filed by the
Chicago Tribune against the city of
Chicago's S10,000000 libel suit here
to be heard before Judge Harry NJ.
Fisher today in circuit court.
According to comment at the close
of court yesterday by Judge Fisher,
the outcome will hinge largely upon
whether the city, in the present suit
is to be treated as acting in its gov
ernmental or corporate capacity.
Chester E. Cleveland, special coun.
sci for the city was asked by Judge
Fisher to discuss as an abstract pro-
position, the course that court should
take when the subject matter of a suit
affected some of the city's property
only incidentally. He wished the
views of counsel as to whether in such
circumstances the city was to be
treated simply as a private corpora
ton.
Involves Millions
The question arose after Mr. Cleve
land had quoted the supreme court Of
the state as holding that Chicago il
its private capacity, was subject tc
the same rules as natural persons un
less expressly exempted by statute.
The suit alleges damages of $4,000,
900 because the Tribune in the cam
paign of 1920 stated that the city was
broke. Attorneys for the paper filet
a demurrer and argued that upholding
of the suit would abridge the right O
free speech. Fl
The city counsel have countered this
with a declaration that right of free
speech carries no right to tell malicou.

Mrs. Margaret Bonniere of Murray Street, St. John, N. B., writes: T heard a lady saying, she bought a bot tie of pr. True's Elixir for her chil- dren, and it was splendid. I got a bottle and I think it is great"
 The laxative mentioned above is Dr. True's Elixir, the Family Laxa- tive and Worm Expeller. It is very pleasant to take: children like it, and it is mild in action. No harmful drugs.
 It's surprising to know the number of youngsters and even grown-ups who suffer from worms but don't req lize it. Every one needs good lax ative.
