BLUE SKY Law
Is Explained by Bank
Comm'r. Lawrence
In Enliohtening and Interesting Ad-
dress Before Augusta Chamber Of
Commerce Members on Thursday
Evening - Secretary Clarke Pre-
sents Sales Plan for Merchants

That the Blue Sky Law of Maine
and of most of the other states SIM
lpy try to see that the facts regard
ing stock arc presented to the public
in their true light and do not try to
discriminate between an investment
and a speculation. was the state
ment of Fred +. Lawrence, bank
commissioner of Maine. in an address
before the members of the Augusta
Chamber of Commerce at the MONTH
ly smoker which was held Thursday
evening at the Chamber of Com
merce assembly hall.
Mr.. Lawrence told many interest
ing and instructive things about the
workings of the department and
the things that they have to over
come. He said that they seldom
find cases where they are sure that
facts regarding the corporations in
which it is sought to sell stock, have
been misstated Intentionally but that
there are often times when they
have an idea of that kind.
He told of the ways in which the
promoter and his friends get an ad-
vantage over the later investors by
getting in on the ground floor" One
of the ways in which this is done is
to water the stock. Even this is not
against the Blue Sky" law after the
corporation is on its feet End if the
other stockholders permit it. But
these things are covered up and IL
the other stockholders find it out 1t

Colby Grad Speaks
Before College ssY"

Mrs Ethel Haywood Weston, O.
graduate of Colby in 1908, addressed
the members of the Young Women's
Christian association of Colby. COL
lege on Wednesday evening. Mrs
Weston is grand president of the
Sigma Kappa Sorority and chairman
of the National Pan-Hellenic Con-
gress. Mrs. Weston. said that there
are four qualities which have come to
be recognized as the true character
istics of Colby women. These are
loyalty, courtesy. dependability and a
high ethical and moral standard.
".Those who are most loyal to Colby
are not those who simply stand up
and cheer at football game. but
those who are always ready to CO.
operate with the college authorities
and ready to keep their share of the
rules and regulations of Colby. They
are the ones who feel that these
regulations are not restrictions but
wise rulings.
Courtesy means kindness. tact,
'graciousness. They say that the true
meaning of courtesy is kindness of
heart. To be tactful is to put people
at ease. Sometimes l feel that we dc
no show enough graciousness to the
people raound us. Due to our New
England heredity we are reserved and
cold when we come in c1ntact with
southern women we realize that we
are lacking graciousness."
The third point that Mrs. Weston
emphasized was dependability. saying
that our word of honor is not a mere
expression, but that it means a great
deal When we give our word to dc
a thing we are ready to do it ever
| though it affects our convenience.
The last points, those of a high
moral sense and ethical standards
"are necessary for civilization" said
the speaker. Campus citizenship
means high ethical standards.

FINE BASKETBALL
GAME TONIGHT AT
HIGH SCHOOL GYM

Two OF the best games of the sea-
son are to be played this evening at
the Waterville High school. The To-
cal boys are to show their wares
against the Dexter Quintet, while
the girls are to play against the
Skowhegan girls.
The boys have been working hard
perfecting their plays and have pro-
crossed SO that their passing is al
most perfect.
This game with Dexter will prove
to be one of the hardest games of the
season. Dexter had one of the best
teams in the State last year. And
this year one that they can we'll
boast of. The game is to be played
under strictly amateur rules. Rob-
ert Owen of Oak Grove who is a
member of the board of recommend
ed officials. will of1iciate.
Waterville's star center, Carter,
will be in the : me this evening and
will try hard to pile up the local
score. Saucier will probably play
tonight. He was unable to play
against Hallowell because of an in
jured foot sustained in practice.
The boys have won the first two
games of the season and will not lei
this one slip away from them with
out putting up hard fight.
The girls are out for the cham
| pionship this year and if they win
over Skowhegan they will have one
OF their hardest opponents defeated
Skowhegan defeated Cony, so win
for the local girls means n great deal
Waterville's new bleachers will be
used. The High school band that has
been doing such splendid work ir
showing it's school spirit, will play
several selections.
The game will be called at
o'clock.
The following boys are in the line.
/ up: Capt. Sterling. Thibodeau, Sau.
cier. Potter. Carter, Mgr. Smith
Larrabee and Clarprood.

Three Secret
Societies Abolished
at BoWdOin College

Bowdoin College. Brunswick. la-
1S-It was announced today that q,
meeting of the Student Council q
| Bowdoin college on Jan. II n was
voted to abolish three secret societies
at Bowdoin. Icy this vote the two
Junior societies. AbraXas and Frla&
and the Freshman society. 4. q, viii

down, Pa. was appointed to draw up
plans for the founding of three new
groups-Sophomorc. Junior and Se-
Nor societies.
The Student Council has for some
time been studying the condition Of
the present societies and decided that
a change was necessary. The Abraxas
was founded in 1898 and later reor-
ganized i'm 1913. The Friars were cs-
tablished in 1906. while the L. Q. was
not founded until five years later in
1911. Originally all these societies
were intended to he honorary socie-
ties
The Student Council decided that
no society could at the same time be
both honorary and oompetiti"c. yet
this is what the Bowdoin societies
have been attempting. II decided that
L. Q. was not representative since Il
is composed of members OF only five
fraternities. At the same slime II
siders ny Freshman Society IN be
foolish, for on the very face OF things
it is seen thCt no knowledge Of the
Freshmen can be obtained so carly
after their arrival at college. Often
many good men. sometimes the best
are left out. Thus they decided that
the very purpose OF 4 Freshman So
ciety is useless. and that they would
substitute for such n society n Sopho-
more one. Along with this they have
decided to establish one Junior and
one Senior Society.
To push either the Friars or the
AbraXas ahead one year and make II
a Senior society would he unfair. Ac'
cmordingly the Student Council de-
cided to abolish both and form two
entirely new societies in their place.
This will do away with the COMPETE
ton between two societies In the
Junior class. and give each ~ the
three upper classes n secret society.
For these reasons it was felt that the
best plan was TO change the present
conditions entirely and start with
new foundation.
The special committee that was
appointed last week Is already draw
ing up plans for The new societies.
which will have new rames and new
pins. This same committee is 10
draft rough constitutions and plan
generally for the starting OF the new
groups in June.
1t is the plan that these new so
ciet:es shall be pureyl honararv with
no competition. 1t Is also hoped that
Call Day will be originated here al
Bowdoin modelled after Yaie's famous
Tap Day. On this DAY the new mem
bers of the societies will be chosen by
being tapped by the present members.
After the first year the new mem-
bers will be chosen by the members
of the Society without any interfer-
ence on the part OF the Student Coun-
Gil. and in fact the running OF the
societies will be entirely in the hands
OF their own members.

Some Historic Facts
Colby First Graduates

Colby college has shown most re-
markable growth since the founding
In the year 1890 The first class that
graduated from Colby contained just
two members. One Of these men was
George Dana Boardman. who became
a missionary to Burma. India. and
the other one was Ephraim Trip.
afterwards principal Of Hebron Acad-
envy. These men graduated just 100
years before the class that will go
out this June. In 1872. just 50 years
after the first graduating exercises
at Colby college, the men who went
forth with diplomas, numbered eight.
Among the members Of this class was
Nathaniel Butler. Jr., now famous as
dean OF the University college, Uni
versity Of Chicago. Now the Tooth
commencement approaches and there
are 50 seniors looking forward to
their degrees.
But this Is not the largest class
that IL in college at the present time.
The Junior class numbers 81, So men
and a women; the sophomore class
has III members, IS of which are men
and 4s women. The largest enter
Ing class that has ever come to Colby
applied for admission this fall and
there are 100 freshmen Of which class
there are lo3 boys and II women.
Besides these regular students there
are IS special and unclassified stu
dents and one graduate student. The
total number Of men are 2s9. of wom-
en- 1ss and the total number of Colby
college students IL 4s7, which is the
largest number that Colby ever had
before.
Endorsements Of the student body
means that the equipment must also
b increased. Plans have been In
progress for several years for new
buildings and the drives that are be-
ing conducted will mean. IL they are
successful. that Colby will have new
equipment. At the present rate OF
growth II II only q matter Of a few
years before Colby will be one Of the
bigger colleges Of New England in
stead OF one Of the smaller colleges.
