BRIEF MENTION

A girl may say her heart is bro
ken, but SO long as she is interested
in her complexion and the curl OF
her hair, don't believe 1t.
Styles change. The old-time stage
william always wore puttees and car
ried riding crop. The movie VII
lain merely flicks ashes carlessly
from his cigarette when he is cor
nered.
Good luck is mostly the absence
of bad luck.
Everybody sometimes is wronged;
everything some day may be righted.
A fool trusts to luck; a wise
man to pluck.
If you can't be married to your
wife and your work at the same
time, you will have to get divorce
from one of them.
You don't need to believe all
you hear, but you should be sure
you hear all you hear.
A "hard-boiled" man keeps every
body else in a stew.
Europe never will settle down
until she understands that she must
settle up.
Then there is the man who can't
fall because he has never climbed.
Everybody looking for a soft
snap is in hard lines.
Make your automobile last-and
your home first.
Some men look so hard for "easy
money" that they strain their eyes
until they can't see a job.

HOW SUCKERS ARE
TRIMMED IN ST.

One of the glories of the Com
stock when assessments of 20 and
so cents a share were levied on
mining stocks, was an exemplifica-
ton of that social pastime known
as freeze-out. This was accomplished
on the stock exchange by levying
assessments, advertising the fact in
some obscure publication, whose
chief attribute was an anaemic cir
culation and thus advertise the le-
Ultimate owners out of their hold
ings without their knowledge or
consent. The game was worked
early and often and the manipu-
ators waxed fat and prodigious
profits that were not credited to
mine operation. The same system
has been evoked in San Francisco
through the purchase of Divide
stocks owned chiefly in Tonopah.
The purchase is solely for the pur-
pose of acquiring legal standing for
a speculation that defies the blue
sky laws. The modus operandi is the
ancient one of skinning the rabbit
after catching. Having acquired a
pretty seal and. stock ledger the
new owners usually found the en-
tire capitalization had been issued
so no more stock could be sold. This
suits their purpose. An assessment
is levied and the fact is advertised
in a quarter where the prying eyes
of stockholders are not likely to
ferret it out. Should they become
conversant with the fact they are
privileged to meet the call by
pungling up the cash. This compli-
ance often follows a scare but the
result is the same. Not l per cent of
the stockholders know anything
about the assessment and the
ground work for the next step in
the conspiracy is laid. With ninety
nine and one-half per cent of the
original stock reverting to the treas
lry by default the manipuiators
get out their homes and whet their
knives for TIE sucker skinning con-
test. With all the stock in the treas
ury the unprincipled boosters begin
their campaign and skyrocket the
price that will encourage the old
holders of certificates to engage in
The lid is off when it comes
to delivery. The man who paid
honest money for his stock during
the Divide boom tenders that stock
to his broker after selling at the
fictitious figures established by the
stock exchange. The broker notifies
his client that the paper is worthless
as it had been sold out under de-
linquency. The only alternative is
for the seller to cover by placing
buying order which is filled by the
bunco men of the San Francisco
Stock Exchange at their own price
for they know they have in their
clutches one whom they proceed to
rob of his hide, hair and tallow.
Bush street says this is legitimate
and directors of the exchange
wonder why trading is dead

Great Britain plans to spend H.

ten years in constructing great
dockyard and craving docks for

count Grey in the House of Lords
in answer to question whether the
new naval base was aimed at Japan

only justification for the Singapore
naval base is the possibility, how

If such war did occur, it would
