CENSORSHIP OF "ADS"
M. Robert Herman Warns Local
Club Against Stock Firms With
Rad Rennfa f;onS
Bad Regulations.

washington stands ahead of most
other cities In censorship of adver-
tising.. declared NJ. Robert Herman,
member Of the Investment Bank
ers' Association. in an address before
the Advertising Club of Washington
at the City CLUB yesterday.
1t is to the: interest of the ad-
vertising men Of Washington to see
that the advertising here is properly
censored. the speaker said.
Referring to: the so-called blue
sky operations" he said that this
form of business was as prevalent
in Washington as in any other city
In the country and pointed out the
advantages to the local merchants
which would result II such business
were eliminated. Through the blue
sky" operations money is being con-
stantly taken out of communities in
stead of being allowed to circulate
there, he said.
Mr.. Herman warned against buy
ing stock and dealing with a firm or
individuals who have bad regulations.
Even though firm which has had bad
reputation reorganizes and manages
to get several men of good reputa-
tion to serve them In an executive
capacity. II Is still dangerous to deal
with them, he continued
He told of methods of advertising
to build up the good will of the pub
lie. and concluded with a short tech
nical talk on financial advertising.

KANSAS CITY, Mo, June s.-Heavy

floods are expected, according to re-
ports from over Kansas. The rain

one to seven inches.
In many places the rainfall was so
heavy that wheat. which had begun
to ripen. was beaten into the ground,
according to reports from south
central Kansas. 1t will also prevent
getting harvest machinery into the
fields for more than week, reports
from many places showed.
The rain was very damaging" p.

NEW YORK. June 9-Plans 10 as

ing s1S0,000,0 600 to Iiquidate overdue
foreign obligations were discussed at
a meeting of the advisory council of
the far eastern division of the De-
partment of Commerce. No definite
action was taken.
Z. S. Glines, chairman OF the coun-
Gil, expressed the opinion that the
Chinese government had no accept
able security to offer for a new loan
at this time. He said that participa-
tion by the United States government
in the matter should be avoided
OF the total amount owed abroad
by the Chinese government, II was
said, 40 per cent represented over
due obligations to Japanese business
concerns and about per cent
debts owed to American interests.
Mr.. Glines said that tremendous
pressure" would be brought to bear
to protect American interests should
foreign holders OF the overdue obli-
cations of the Chinese government
railways take over these lines. He
said such a course would probably
result in Americans and Japanese as
suming control of the Peking Suiyan.
I'm the event the French ratify the
'nine-power Chinese customs treaty." "
he said, 81 would recommend such
revenues be funded for the purpose OF
taking up overdue foreign obliga-
tions. Since the internal native loans
would have to look to this entirely,
there would be considerable pressure
brought to bear by the Chinese for a
government that functions like a
government"

BOND Quotations
SHOW WEAKNESS
Slight Reaction in TWo-Hour
Trading-Foreign Issues
Are Also Quiet.
BY GEORGE #. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, June 9.-Trading in
terest in bonds was at a low ebb dur
ing today's short session. Quotations
for high grade securities were in
clined TO be reactionary. This was
true of libertys and the frst-grade
rails.
Even the speculative enthusiasm
manifest all the week in the foreign
issues waned today.
As far as there was any feature
today 1t was found among the junior
rails, which were subject to the same
Influences that advanced the price of
railroad stocks. The st. Paul issues
were conspicuous in this respect, no.
tably the short-term As of 1925.
In addition to the Austrian loan
next week is expected to see new
government financing in the shape Of
treasury certificates. The offering Is
not expected to be a large one, but
the coupon rate may have some sig
nif1cance as to the future of the
