The Chamber declared that
further study should be made into
what might be regarded as the best

Branches Will Make Possible
Floating Securities Without
Making Application Here.

By the Associated Press.
To facilitate flotation of securities
and ease the task of protecting in
vestors from fraud, the Securities
and Exchange Commission has de-
cided to set up branch Offices in seven
key cities.
The cities are New York, Boston,
Chicago, Denver, San Francisco, Fort
Worth and Atlanta. The Offices will
be organized as soon as possible
The S. E. c. has considered the
project for some time with the view
to obtaining increased efficiency. Cor
porations could take initial steps in
floating securities without the neces-
sity of communicating with Wash

The Offices would also furnish
points where investors might make
complaints about representa- tions
made to them in the sale of securities,

tional debut in this country about
two years ago." Mrs. Martens said,

the role of Elsa in "Lohengrin. :"
From then on she was given princi-
pal parts.
In 1916, she was engaged by the
State opera in Vienna for leading

Richard Strauss "Ariane in Max

ten," as Christine in "Intermezzo"
and later, as the Marechale in
"Rosenkavalier."
