The stage, especially in the past few years, has provided notable ex- amples of actresses who continue to act well on into old age, and still held their audiences. Sarah Bernhardt and Eleonora Duse are illustrious exam ples which immediately leap to the mind.

AFFECTED BY SLUMP
Drop in Wall Street and Kings

Special Dispatch to The Star.
LONDON, December 17.-With anxi-
ETY. concerning the Kings Illness con-
tinuing to completely dominate the
financial situation, the great slump In
Wall Street iniects another depressing
influence on the general trend Of the
markets. The first considered Is e
check against boom conditions chiefly
affecting British funds and the other
high-class securities, while the Wall
Street breaks have affected industrial
speculatives, especially those dealt with
on New York account.
Thanks to the caution displayed on
this side Of the Atlantic, It may be
doubted whether losses sustained by the
investors and spectators here have
been severe or have extended over a
wide area during the American slump.
The London Stock Exchange is now
at a period Of the year when there is
usually slackening of business with a
tendency in many directions to effect
realizations, in view of the forthcoming
balance sheets. The success of the Ford
Motor Co. in getting its issue of 2,800,-
600 shares of stock many times over
subscribed is perhaps the most remark
able event in the capital market this
year and in the congested state of the
new issue market, a telling success.
Further circumstances which have
had considerable effect upon the gilt
edged markets have been the persistence
in the drain on gold from this country
to Germany.

INFLUENCED
BY HINTS OF WAR
Bolivian Issues Drop Sharply
Following South Amer

Special DiSpatch 10 Inc oIaF.
NEW YORK, December 17.-Due to
\ the warlike situation in South America
Soday, more attention was given TO the
market for foreign rather than to do
rAestic issues. The Bolivian group was
in a state of semi collapse, with the
September z per cent loan, which was
brought out at 97l2, selling in the
early afternoon at 85, break OF Z
points from Saturdays closing.
The older Bolivian issues were
steadier. as they have been fairly well
distributed. Even in them there was
considerable liquidation. The IS de-
clined about points and the rs over
points. both selling approximately
10 points under their high of the year.
While there was no selling pressure in
the market for the bonds of the stronger
governments and provinces of South
America, number of the weaker credit
province bonds were reactlonary. There
was also heavy tone to Central Amerl-
can issues which it is felt have been
brought out in too great volume dur
ing the past year and half. In the
last three months, of S115,000,000 for
eign issues, either government, munich
pal or corporation, $82,000,000 have
been for South or Central American ac-
count.
The irregular movements in stocks
were duplicated among convertible
bonds. most of which were lower. Ana
conda Copper rs were of 3 points,
Andes rs dropped Z points, Liquid Car
bonic 6s we're also off Z, Barnsdall 6s
over a point, j. Kayser 512s the same,
The new International Telephone con-
vertible 4l2s lost 2 points. :.
High-grade issues showed mixed
market. The range in most cases was
less than Il point. Many of these
bonds are now within short distance
of the lows of last Summer. On the
other hand. nearly 80 listed and un-
listed foreign dollar bonds were at the
lowest of the year. A majority of these
were in the South and Central Ameri-
can groups, with the next largest num-
ber of losses among German bonds.
Junior rails were lower, including st.
Paul adjustments, Chicago Great west
ern first As. and particularly the Florida
division 6s of the Seaboard Air Line,
which declined / to 212 points.

Twenty-onc American cities have in operation one
or more schools in which crippled children are edu
Gated in conjunction with necessary correctional med
ical and surgical treatment Remarkable results are
being obtained by these institutions.
The crippled child is social problem General,
he or she unable to keep up with normal classmates
and formerly permitted to drop out of school Ia
go through life handicapped physically and mentally
Education is more valuable to the physically defored
or crippled than to the physically normal.
Smaller communities cannot finance special schools
and hospitals for the instruction and treatment Of
these children, but there must be way for every
community, no matter how limited in population and
financial means, to give them education at least
Every physically defective child society makes indie
pendent through schooling correctional treatment
is good investment. Were that child to continue
through life public charge, the cost to society would
be far in excess Of the other cost.
Citizens and civic organizations are concerned and
should help make it possible give these unfortunate

STAGE PROFANITY
Detroit Neys)


Miss Peggy Wood, actress, talked to ministerial
association in New York the other day about stage
swearing. Preachers are not the only people who
would like an explanation of the blue haze that hangs
over the sources of presentday drama.
1t is high testimonial of the charm Of drama that
intelligent refined decent people continue to patronze
1t and endure some of its revolving Accomplishments
It is nonsense to talk of the realism Of the stage Why
should people pay money to hear language they would
resent as grossly insulting il uttered in their
upon the street or in the lobby of hotel?
Undoubtedly license in speech was resorted to orig
lnally IN the strenuous search for play material to
create thrill Once upon time an explosive "Damn'
startled the theater crowd But repetition lost the
effect All sorts of devices resorted to to get the
kick. The innocent young ingenue was made to sir
out an awkward cuss word. Finally the kindly matron
and the white-haired grandmother were drafted into
the damnng squad. No resources left untred now
to work the trick Everybody the stage times i.
making the fishwfe vocabulary seem innocent prattle
in some Of the so-called modem drama. .
Miss Wood told the preachers "the tendency to
emphasize by the use Of shock epithets is sign of
poverty in expression. She is right And the use of
such talk in plays is cheap and offensive sign Of
poverty Of expression on the part Of those write
OF the public depended upon to buy theater tickets

BANKS AND PROGRESS

To people unacquanted with the inside workings of
barking it appears that the bank far progress is
concerned, stands STILL Change within the structure
Of course take place but gradually and for this
reason it seems to many that the bank of today is
pretty much the same in its essential characteristics
and methods as the bank with which the great grand
fathers Of this generation did business. The American
bank. however, could not have stood still. Its import
in the economic scheme Of the nation has forced
it to grow with the country.
There are evidences that American banking is ap-
preaching an era of great improvement Constructive
banking movements now under way throughout the
country promise to make stronger banks efficient
banl<s banks offering wider service, better UNDER
staining of bantg bsin and out Of the cage closer
aliaices between banks and public, greater respect
for the banking profession and wiser spending and
more systematic saving.
Communities are vitality interested in bigger and
better banks. The oldfashioned, raditonbound bank
that refuses to adjust itself to changed conditions not
only throttles its development but that of the
territory it processes to An efficient progress
i've, helpful banking institution reflects itself in
prosperous and industrious community.
The fact that the United States and it's thousands Of
cities and towns have prospered and made progress is
the best proof that its banks have stood STILL To
NO small extent is the development Of the country trace
ahso the functions ably assumed by its providers Of
credit. Bsnkers must keep step with progress and
