wonder, We'll, was the rest of that
act as dull as We supposed?"
Surprising as 1t may seem, Miss
Beatrice Lille, erstwhile queen Of
the London music halls, is an ideal
Shaw heroine. Although she Is
allowed little chance to romp hither
and yon according to her former
accomplishments, she is remarkably
efhcacious in her delivery Of Shavian
wit. Miss Hope williams is much
less successful. Her lines come, as
they always have come, from a CEN

them little except monotony.

COLDS THAT DEVELOP

Persistent coughs and colds lead to
serious trouble. You can stop them now
with Creomulsion, an emulsi6ed creosote
that is pleasant to take. Creomulsion is a
new medical discovery with two-fold &C.

membranes and inhibits germ growth.
Of all known drugs, creosote is recog.

of the greatest healing agencies for per.

TN 1881 many individuals, many families
l. and many business organizations came
face to face with hours of need and found
in insurance dependable friend-a friend
that was able as well as willing to help in
their emergencies.
Through the timely aid of funds from
all forms of insurance, many adversities
of life were prevented from becoming
tragedies, and many untoward eventswere
robbed of their terrors and expressions.
Life insurance, unlike some other forms
of property, instead of adding to or in
tensifying the woes Of the public during
period of economic readjustment, minis
tered to many and provided relief and
comfort 10 scores of persons who had ex-
hausted all other means.

Smith describe and differentiste be-
tween pol in Stock Exchange affairs,
and a syndicate"
"A pool exists when you undertake
with others to subscribe to a legal
document obligating yourself to take q
certain percentage Of stock bought or
sold" Mr. Smith rejoined. whereas in
syndicate you merely agree to buy
stock on a joint account with others in
an equal amount"
"Wrat you've described as q pool"
Mr. Gray insisted, is a group of men
who have gotten together for the pur-
pose Of Illegally operating on the up
side or the downSide."
Told to Define Terms.
Il think the attorney ought to define
what he means by illegal or improper"
Senator Couzens demonstrated, so the
witness can answer"
Il don't mean that the contract is
illegal or improper" Mr.. Gray ex-
planned, but that the regular pool pur-
pose is to cooperate with the specialist
on the floor Of the exchange who gives
to that pool inside information as to a
particular stock"
Il have never heard Of that being
done" Mr.. Smith protested
you've never known the specialist
to show pools the information as to
buying and selling orders on his books?"
Mr.. Gray demanded.
IT never did" Mr. Smith responded.
You'd concede that such a practice
was dishonest?" Senator Glass inter-
vened.
Il don't know. Senator Mr.. Smith
demurred. L conceive you could go to
specialist and ask what kind of bid
he had on 1000 or 500 shares of a
stock
THE fellow who'd do that would pick
a pocket" the Virginian drawled. and
Mr.. Smith commented that he'd 'let it
pass"
But take the Radio pool" Gray
went on, 'Meehan, the exchange spe-
cialist, was a member"
"Mr. Meehan has never been a mem
ber of any pool" Smith rejoined. The
pool account has always been in his
wife's name"
There was a moment Of silence and
then Mr.. Gray returned to the attack,
saying that Is merely a measure
for evasion and concealment."
Doesn't Know Of Raids.
"No, I've done the same thing" Mr.
Smith replied, "for the same reason.
There is a rule Of the Exchange that
you can't be broker and principal at
the same time"
Mr.. Gray insisted that the use Of a
wifes name under such circumstances
was merely subterfuge" and Mr. Smith
dropped the point, to go on with a de-
scription OF the radio pool
The whole object of this organiza-
ton was to put the stock up fictitious!y,
wasn't it?" Senator Glass asked.
Il wouldn't say that" Smith coun-
tered. 1T had great deal of earning
power at the time
DO you know anything about bear
raids?" Senator Fletcher, Democrat
Florida, put in. Organizations of
people seeking now TO depress market
prices"
No, I don't" Mr. Smith told him.
What are all the reports on that
subject-something manufactured by
the newspapers?" Senator Glass in
quired.
L would think So" replied Mr. Smith.
He, too, was excused after agreeing to
bring III the record OF transactions and
participations in speculation for several
years back.
Prior to calling the two stock opera =
tors the committee heard a general

ization, and considerable expert COM
