another fake stock enterprise is
exposed
The company WAS represented 10
prospective investors as the man
ufacturer of a malt powder which,
when placed in water. would make
Z per cent beer.
There would be millions in it
II such a powder was possible.
Col. Mulberry Sellers never

ters offered shares in the enter
prise. The come-ons licked their
lips ana bought stock.
Now the investors have head
aches and not from consumption
Of the company's product. They
find they have purchased chunks
of blue sky.
The stock they purchased had
not been approved by the State
Securities Commission. the COM
pany was not incorporated. nor
had the statesmen peddlng the So
called securities dealers licenses,
AS required by state law. None
of the provisions Of the Indiana
blue-sky law. passed by the last
Legislature for the protection Of
innocent investors, y had been
complied with.
Yet the stock was sold readily
to investors who didn't take the
trouble to investigate the status
of the securities. They didn't even
bother to inquire whether the Sc
curities were approved by the
commission. They just bit.
It's mighty hard even for a per-
feet blue-sky law to protect in
vestors against their own folly.
There are always lambs begging
to be sheared and fake stock pro-
motors willing to oblige.

NO TEARS
IN COURT

Judge Hurley of Chicago, hear
ing a breach of promise case
against an Indianapolis surgeon,
ordered the jury from the room
when the fair plaintiff started to
cry on the witness stand, while
telling the story of her blasted
love affair.
Lock up the jury" abruptly
commanded the judge. 1--WE are
not going to have a weeping YER
dict in my court Unless the plain
tiff controls her emotions in the
presence of the jury, l will dis
miss the case"
What are we coming to? No sob
stuff in a breach of promise case?
That's robbing the ladies of their
most potent court weapon. Like
staging Hamlet without the dur
able Dane in the cast.
If that dry-eyed precedent is fol
lowed, next they will be censoring
the love missives read into the
court records, and heart balm
cases will lose their popular APP
peal. They'll become just musty
lawsuits.
Damming the tear ducts may
take some of the joy out of life for
the spectators at the trial. Still
it may not hamstring justice.
But if it is desirable to exclude
emotional appeals from breach of
promise cases, why not from other
trials? If a iachrymal shower
might so influence the jury in a
breach of promise case that justice
jumps out the window, what's the
effect of all the playing on sym
pathy, sentimental appeals, emo
tional claptrap and sob stuff per
mitted before the juries in crimi-
nal trials from petit larceny to
murder?

THE DRIVER

Well, where are we going? Oh,
nobody knows. Just out in the open
where everyone goes. A drivin' the
car full o. kids is the thing that
always occurs with the comm Of
spring.
There's something about 1t that
gets in the blood The airs full o.
pep-and the road full O. mud. But,
shucks, it's real fun to be flirtin
with luck, and trust to the fates that
the car won't get stuck.
You see little byways where traffic
is thin, and clatter along in yer
bundle of tin. You're driving the
family, an oughta be glad-in spite
of the fact that they're drivin you
mad.
The wife tells you this, and the
kids tell you that. No wonder you
never know inst where you're at.
They call you the driver-thats just
a wise crack, Gauge really the driver
is sittin' in back.
The man at the wheel has my
sympathy, yea. lie drives, but he
has very little to say. It's fun to
go touring. It's pleae9at to roam.
But, shucks, for the drivcr-it's fun
to get home.
Now that marble season IS on,
even the kids are rolling their own.

NELLIE TALKS A
BIT ABOUT STAGE

A breath of New England country
life is brought to Keith's this week
when Nellie Durham of Norway,
Me-, the champion fiddler of his terri
tory and the protege Of Henry Ford,
who is attempting to revive interest
in the old-time dances, and who fid
dies some old-time tunes while his
neighbors, who are travelling with
him, give an exhibition of how
they danced in the old days.
Mellie's debut into Keith-Albee
vaudeville is not only an unique ex-
perience for Nellie but is likewise Il
novelty for Keith patrons. Away
fromthe blase showmanship Of the
hardened actor, and away from
theatrical embellishments, Nellie in
his simple stage setting, barn
dance with mis- Norway neighbors
earnestly stepping TO Mellie's tunes
produces an odd sensation to the
theatergoer.
Unaffected and void of coaching
Nellie makes his gestures and spon-
taneous speeches and announce
ments. No one has ever told Nellie
what TO say or explained in lengthy
speeches the psychology of getting
his work across the footlights, yet
heart and soul and audience finds it
self with Nellie.
mo, L am not nervous about fac
ing people, said the seventy-two-
year-old fiddler. II consider them as
my friends and treat them as such.
Courtesy is my WatChWOrd, and
want to tell you it sometimes pays.
| Everyone back stage is nice to me
and my idea OF theatrical life, is
that the whole thing is like one big
brotherhood"
After Dunham's first stage appear
ance in Boston, Mass, one Of his
actor colleagues, Jack Wyatt, Of the
Scotch Lads and Lassie," presented
him with a watch. which was one
Of the first timepieces ever manufac-
tured by the Waltham Company.
Nellie prizes the watch very highly,
and the spirit in which it was given
means more to him than the actual
value Of the watch.

The belief In these quarters is that

Of the causes underlying the frequent
border incidents.
The Bulgarian government, without
awaiting the receipt of the note, i
said to have reinforced frontier posts
and given strict orders to the authOrl-
ties to prevent all clandestine border
crossings.
