New York (UP)--Lack of cor poratc funds for the development of new business is a serious handi- cap to advertising, but this condi- tion can be rectified through financing which is. expected to fol- low modification of the present Se- curitics Act.
 There is hardly a business con-. cern in America that has not, di- rectly or indirectly, felt the force or recent legislation in it's busi- ness. In general, this legislation has been constructive and protec- tive. The Securities Act, intended to prevent the fraudulent distri- button of corporate securities, is a commendable step in the right di- rection. Some notifications of this law are generally to be expected and doubtless will pave the way for new financing of the better type. Then companies which have withheld advertising plans or. cur- tailed their promotional activities will be in position to appropriate funds for merchandising their products as they formerly did.
 The effect of the recent legisla- tion on security fotations has been to frighten corporation directors from seeking new capital which they so badly need. While this was certainly not the intention of the lawmakers, the psychological effect has been to Setard financing

either for raising new capital or
 for refunding maturing bonds or
 notes. While it is true that many capital issues have been registered
 with hte Federal Trade Commis- sion under the act, the sale of these
 issues is an entirely different mat
 ter. There has been little or no
 market in the first place, and sec-
 ondly, many companies whose
 bonds or stocks would be eagerly sought by the investing public were
 they put on the market, have de-
 clined to accept the new respons-
 ibility placed upon them in con-
 nection with the marketing of new securities. :. It has already been demonstrat- ed how difficult it is to refund ma- turing issues of bonds and notes
 under present conditions. Many defaults are threatened because these issues cannot be refunded without placing corporations di- |rectors in straightjacket. The re- suit Is stalemate which has its effect upon every phase of busi- ness.
 When corporations can operate
 profitably and liquidate their fund.-
 ed indebtedness, or when. they can
 refinance, they will be able to em- Iploy more people, spend more mon- ey to develop new business
 through advertising and other pro-
 motionai activities, and get rid of
 the four-year-old bugbear of de- pression and Encouragement.

car fin time to see Jed dart from behind a tree, pick 1t up, and run on down the road in back of the warden's wheezing vehicle.
 Plop! Another short fish went overheard. Then another. and an- other.
 Suddenly Bart turned around. What yer doin' anyhow, back there?" he growled.
 Nothing. Recitin' poetry, Bart"
 "Ye're nuts, grunted Bart dis gustedly and turned once more to the road ahead"
 Martin wiped his hands together. The last short fish was gone. He bent over and put his diminished string in order again.
 They struck the paved road. Bart stepped on the gas. Martin leaned out of the car. Old Jed stood at the junction of the roads, his stubby arms laden with fish. He seemed to be laughing. Martin lighted his pipe, prepared to enjoy the rest of the ride into Deane.
 Bart hustled Martin into court. "Failin' to put back into the waters wherefrom they had been taken fish of illegal size," boomed Bart pompously.
 The County Judge leaned over his desk Are those the fish?" he demanded sternly, pointing at the now frozen string of pickerel dan gling in Martins Tight hand.
 That's them, yer Honor" said Bart eagerly. Measured 'em my self"
 Martin held the string up ex- L. fl. f,.1 AnIr f.f numerous. But every fish on it eighteen inches long at least. Some of them over two feet. The County Judge sputtered. He was a fisher man himself. He didn't ned tape measure to tell that those fish were well over legal length. Martin said nothing. He just stood there, smil- ing blandly. the picture of perfect innocence.
 Bart gasped. Could his eyes be deceiving him? Sweat beads stood out on his forehead. He fidgeted from one foot to the other while court clerks Uttered.
 They they must have growed some since he caught 'em," stammered Bart. 'I swear they were under twelve inches when l measured 'em. Honest yer Honor" The County Judge glared sternly at Bart Case dismissed" he thundered. He delivered a cutting lecture to the warden on the ini- quity and the dangers attendant upon false arrest. "Be more care full in future, Ford,' he concluded. "The defendant Is entitled to trans portation home. See that he gets it."
 "Yes sir" said Bart meekly.
 Martin was Apparently uncon- scious of the venom that streamed from the warden's eyes. His own thoughts dwelt pleasantly on the swell fish supper that old Jed Bar clay would be cooking for himself in his little shanty in the woods.

across the lake with the warden after him.
 Halt, ye danged poacher!" screamed Bart. But Lute was stopping for no one.
 He cut across a corner of the lake, plunged into some brush, wallowed. through deep snow drift, hit the ploughcd-out Barlow road, crossed it and disappeared into the pine woods on the other side. Bart was right on his heels.
 "Stop Stop in the name of the Iawr' he called out between short gaspfhg breaths.
 The judge kept on as hard as he could go. The situation, he real ized, was a bit undignified for a Justice of the Peace but neither fear nor fright were written on his countenance. He was grinning. At last when he could go no further, he halted, and leaned panting against the side of a fat-trunked hcmlock. Within few seconds. Bart, virtually exhausted with his long chase, caught up with him and stood facing him belligerently. "Rcckon Got Ne
 With the GOods''
 Reckon I got ye with the goods this time, Martin" he rasped. "Wheres yer fishin' license?"
 He was confident the Judge didn't have any. Martin burst out and reached in his pock- cts. To the astonished warden's goggle-eyed amaZement, he pro- duced the little card. Bart took 1t numbly, read it, turned it over. read 1t again. It was Martins li- cense all right. Bart's face turned suddenly flame red.
 "Ye danged idiot!' he roared an- grily. t'What in blazes did ye run fer if ye had license? That's all l wanted to see"
 Martin burst out laughing. "I know 1t, Bart" he said between spasms. "But the other fellow . didn't have any. And I !. figured if I ran you'd chase me-"
 Bart's words were far from pretty. "Who was that guy?" he demanded fiercely.
 That's for me to know and you to find out" The judges smile was disamingly frank.
 Bart pondered that one darkly for a moment. Then his cold, hate filled eyes lighted up.
 Anyhow" he said slowly, you and me are goin' back to the lake, Judge. Might be some O them fish ain't legal size. Jest too bad for ye if they ain't.'
 Martin shrugged his shoulders. "Suits me-" he said with an at- tempt at nonchalance. But he cursed under his breath. He knew quite well some of the fish were just trife short of the required twelve inches. Bart would hold him strictly to the letter of the law, too. Even quarter inch short would be called undersiZe. Martin doubted if old Jed would

explained with biting sarcasm that he didn't choose to have criminals and law breakers riding in the front seat with him. Then he climbed in under the wheel. Though he road was ploughed there was still frozen crust of slippery snow on it, and in spite of chains the car lurched and skidded perilously as 1t crept along toward the paved state highway that would take, them into Deane, the county seat. It took all .Bart's at tention and ability to keep the car out of the ditch. Progress was slow. zf
 After a particularly wide slide. Martin pushed open the side cur tains and glanced back to see their zig-zag track. A litle exclamation escaped his lips. At discreet dis tance in the rear, and keeping to the shelter of the woods that lined the road, old Jed Barcley was fol- lowing them. Martin made vigor- ous signs to the old timer to go back, to go home. Hell, no sense both of them getting caught.
 But Jed paid no attention to him. The old man was making frantic signals of his own. At first Martin was annoyed, then puzzled. Finally he understood. A wide grin

Between nibbles, he squatted on his launches around a blazing camp fire of dried pine logs set on the shore in little cove sheltered from the wind. old Jed Barclay stood beside him, mittens off, warming his gnarled, blue-veined hands in front of the fire.
 Mighty nice of you to help me, Jedge,h he said, his sharp little blue eyes twinkling. 'I kin clean and slit them fish and wry 'em, and they'll help out my victuals a lot this winter. Seems like they ain't nobody wants to hire wood- chopper as old as me no more"
 "Shucks, yoA ain't old, Jed" laughed Martin. Wish I was as stout a man as you"

 Some of them,' amended Mar tin He looked about warily, as if he were watching for some one. Lute Martin Wasn't
 Rightly A Judge
 Lute Martin wasn't rightly a judge. He held a commission as Justice of the Peace. But he seldom worked at it. Mostly he stayed up at his cottage close to Lincoln Lake and hunted and fish ed. The better people down in town at Barlow, that is better by their own standards, raised their eye brows whenever Martins name was mentioned for the Judge had been known to brew himself more than one batch of beer at Lincoln Lake and Bart Ford, the game warden suspected that for man of law, Lute was occasionally careless con- cerning the date on which the deer season opened, of when trout fish ing was closed.
 Bart and Lutc were bitter enemies. They fought an endless feud, grimly as far as the lanky. gimlet eyed warden was concerned but with good -natured antagonism on the part of the Judge To Bart it was a deadly serious matter. To Martin it was more of a game, mental stim ulation, q glorious matching of wits. No doubt about it, in the eyes of the righteous and smugly self-satisfied, hard-bitten New Englanders in Barlow, Lute Martin was pretty much of a renegade. He associated with the worst characters. Old Jed Barclay for instance who had never saved 0 cent when he was younger and now that he was no longer able to get job had difficult time sub sisting in the winter.
 The nasty-nice element at Bar low thought the county poor farm was the proper place for Jed. But none of them dared mention it to him directly. He possessed a tenn per that could flare up dangerous ly on occasioIf
