ble on stocks they never heard of through men they never saw and probably never will sec again."
 He said that Some years ago a New Britain man had an idea, whereby by sufficient capitalization ho could extend his business. He tried to get capital but was unable 10 do so. He was married, had q family, was a good father and paid his bills, but he could not get the money because his neighbors knew him. He tried to borrow at home. Since then the town has seen many stock 'slickers,' with their trousers creased, their hair just so, immacu- late. polished and with q wonderful line of talk. You and l have seen otherwise conservative businessmen in this city making such q wild dash to exchange their good American dollars for beautiful stock certif- cates with man they never saw be- fore on whose coat tails you could set 20 course dinner. The next day they wake up with a headache and their man is gone.
 Tn 1925 the loss in the United States In crazy investments was over a billion dollars, or more than $10 for every man, woman and child in the United States and all its terri torial possessions. In the year 1924 conservative New Britain investors lost more than $400,000 in fake se- curities. When you hire a Chamber of Commerce secretary you want him 10 bring new industries to your town. If he can dig out of his vest pocket an industry with a payroll of s?,000 a week you'd think he was doing wonderfully well. Yet sc,000 a week is only $100.00 year, You threw away SS,O00 asweek in 1924, every cent of which was a total loss"
 The speaker here told of the agreement entered into by the Chamber of Commerce early in 1925 with the Burns agency. He paid a tribute to the memory of the late

rum boats time and again, and they were beginning 10 suspect that they are the only ones trying to enforce prohibition"
 The meeting in the John Street Methodist Episcopal church was under the auspices of the anti -sa loon league. Federal District Attorney Sucker, who also spoke, charged that the hired men" of the anti saloon league in Washington were afraid to tell its members the truth about the enormous cost of really enforcing prohibition"
 Mir. Buckner, known heretofore for his frank criticism of present methods of prohibition enforcement. made vigorous attack upon those who, he said, have failed to provide proper judicial machinery to have prohibition enforceable.
 Advises Telling Truth
 why don't your people tell you the truth?" Mr. Buckner asked. Why fear the moral effect? What of the moral effect Of corruption, bribery, crime and general lawless- ness?'
 Explaining his situation as that of a lawyer advising his client, Buckner asserted that prohibition is not be- ing substantially enforced today and predicted that it would not be sub stantially enforced.
 The government" said MT. Buck ner, has selected fine man like Andrews to enforce prohibition, but he is all dressed up and has no place to go."
 He urged that pressure be brought to bear upon local and Tate officials to take an active part in an attempt to enforce the law.
 Put not your trust in the federal government to enforce prohibition" ," he said, Out turn to the govern ments in the separate states for your enforcement,
 Get a state enforcement law for New York and in other states place the local officers under a miscrope of political power. Use the miscrope at home and stop peering at Wash. ington through telescope"

New York, Jan. a LP--Construc- tlNe forces were again at work in doday's stock marks!, but trading showed a market falling off in volume.
