HOLLYWOOD, May 81 (NAN.A).-
Mrs. Patrick Campbell is the latest of
the famous to arrive in movieland.
This actress, whose name is associ-
ated with the most triumphant history
Of the English stage, is seeing cinema
land from the comfortable purlieuS of
an Hotel Ambassador bungalow and
saying little about her plans as yet.
There was never a better field for
great actresses who feel they wish to be
on the retired list than now. Laura
Hope Crews, for whom the lure of the
fcotlightS had begun to wane, coaches
Gloria Swanson in her talkieS, and with
splendid results. What's more, she goes
of about the country selecting new
leading man types for Hollywood try
outs.
When Norma Talmadge began a
talkie version of "Du Barry" she had
for coach no less a person than Mrs
Leslie Carter. This famous actress
came out of retirement to find place
waiting for her in the movie village
and a much-needed place, too.
,. Mary Pickford is said to be thor
oughly disguised with results on her
present picture. Whether the queen of
movies doesn't approve of her dictional
efforts or not, she has not said. But
here is a place for Mrs. Patrick Camp
bell and her ilk-women who know his
trionicS fore and aft and who have
learned them, not in a season or a few
: brief seasons, but through the years of
bitter legitimate schooling which go to
make up the finished actress.
Cyril Maude, receiving congratula-
lions from the heads of Paramount lot
at the conclusion of a first rough draft
of Grumpy" let's us in on the secret
that here is another sincere effort which
has hit producers expectations
The motion picture industry did a
very radical thing when it coaXed back
from his Devonshire retreat the famous
English actor who created this role and
who has for some time now forsaken
the stage.
That his tallkie is considered an out
standing success Is evidenced by the
fact that Maude is comforting on a
November return to HOLLYWOOD. All
sorts of plans in the of1ng-Lonsdale
comedies; some of the things he has
made in the past and loves.
Edmund Goulding may direct him.
He would like that, he tells me. He
also has vast respect for the direc-

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHICAGO, March 6.--The State tries
to safeguard the savings of its people,
but all too often the people ignore these
efforts and insist on relying on their
own judgment, according to Robert G.
Clark, president of the National Asso-
citation of Securities Commissioners,
who spoke on the Halsey. Stuart 81 Co.
radio program last night.
Greed and avarice-the lure of gain
break down common sense and caution,
he pointed out. and as a result the
savings of lifetime may be lost. He
urged that investors be certain that
they deal only with reputable invest
ment houses and brokers whom the
local State department has approved
after a thorough investigation
Telling how the State seeks to pro-
tect the investor, Mr.. Clark outlined
the work which is being done in many
States by the security commissions In
the effort to cut down on the millions
which are lost annually to the stock
swindler. He explained how the fraud
act" which is operative particularly
in a number of Eastern States, has
exposed a multitude of fraudulent
schemes through investigation OF Sc
curity selling plans. He also showed
how the regulatory act" requiring the
registration in a. public department OF
every person or concern which intends
to offer securities for sale to the public,

has served to cut down thes number of
dealers in fraudulent securities.
He emphasized the primary RESPONSE
bility, however, of the buyer in all sit
uations, saying:
Can it be assumed, then, that every
bond or stock offered in a regulated
State is desirable investment? BY no
means. Many of them are highly specu-
lative. But the State asks a dealer to
give exact facts. If a man wishes to
speculate, knowing the risks as we'll as
the attractions, he has only himself to
blame If he loses his money. No man
should speculate if he cannot afford to
lose. Under no circumstances should
he gamble on borrowed money Many
a tragedy has resulted from so doing.
Can man, then, who lives in a
State having regulatory law deal safe
ly with the strange salesman who pre-
sents himself at the door? No. The
passage of a law does not insure its
obedience. Robbery is forbidden by law,
but we still have robbers. Likewise, I'M
licensed statesmen will elude the au-
thorities and attempt to prey upon the
unwary Ascertain first whether he and
his house are properly registered or
licensed
Beware of the man who urges haste.

ON FLORIDA fruit
Department of Agriculture
Notes Many Price Declines
| In Weekly Review.

Nearly all the important fruits and
vegetables except apples and cabbage
declined in price during tn last week of
February. Markets apparently were well
supplied and dealers were unable to
maintain recent price levels. The higher
temperatures which prevailed in many
parts of the country may also have
added to the dullness of markets or
taken the edge off the trading.
Cantaloupe acreage IN the Imperial
Valley of California is being greatly in
creased this season. A preliminary re-
port shows about "a 400 acres of covered
melons, as against 16, 800 last year and
$4,000 in 1928. BY far the leading
variety is Hale'S Best, which natures
early. The covered paintings of Honey
Dews and Honey Balls together are also
being increased by 1000 acres to total
of nearly 5000, but other miscellaneous
varieties are decreased. Two years ago
the covered Honey Dew and Honey Ball
acreage was less than 1900 together.
Movement of Imperial Valley green
peas decreased to 20 cars and Mexican
arrivals we're only 100, but shipments
from Imperial Valley are due to in

shipments from California totaled about

BRITISH BANK RATE
CUT TO PER CENT
Decline in Open Market Charges
Leads to Reduction
Today.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, March 6.-The Bank OF
England reduced its discount rate today
from Az to per cent.
Principal reason for the reduction
of the bank rate was found in the diff
ference of / per cent between market
discounts and the official minimum
which made the latter ineffective.
The recent inflow of gold, with more
to come from Australia. placed the
banks gold position with sufficient
strength to enbale it largely to ignore
the continental demand.
The international money market po-
sition also has improved since the Bank
of England made its last reduction. In
view of further decline of the open
market discount rates in New York
which were taken in some quarters to
foreshadow a reduced New York bank
rate, authorities here took the oppor-
tunity of giving the trade of the coun-
try benefit Of another half per cent re-
duction.
The downward movement had been
largely discounted by the stock market
where the prices of investment issues
and government stocks yesterday were
firmer Their tone this morning was
even better after the announcement Of
the reduction was made.

The tax on dividends is an important
item in the returns of many taxpayers.
AS defined by the revenue act the term
dividend" means any distribution made
by corporation to its shareholders,
whether in money or other property, out
OF its earnings or profits accumulated
after February %, 1918. If a dividend
represents profits earned by corpora
ton prior to March /, 1918, there is no
tax.
A dividend may be payable out of
current profits or accumulated surplus
but 1t has no legal existence until 1t
is declared" by formal resolution OF
the directors of the corporation. The
ordinary form of dividend is period
ical cash distribution of current profits
However, dividends may be paid in Sc
curities or other property. For ex-
ample, corporation may distribute
among its stockholders securities in
which it has invested its earnings. Such
securities are to be reported as divi-
dends by the stockholders at the faiI
market value on the date the dividends
become payable. Dividends paid by a
domestic corporation are subject to sur
tax only, which is imposed upon net in
come in excess of $4,000.
