HIT BY SEC
BY ERIC FRIEDHEIM

High pressure stock.selling meth
DDS of Wall Street customers
men" drew the fire of the SEC
today.
Convinced that these individuals
stimulate large-scale gambling in
securities by the public, the com
mission indicated it would require
stock exchanges to impose drastic
curbs on their activities.
Chairman James M. Lands ano
Commissioner William o. Douglas
expressed the opinion that many
customers men help in creating
artificial market conditions BY
encouraging their clients to buy
and sell stocks indiscriminately
Disseminate RumOrS"
Douglas asserted:
Customers men being i'm con-
slant contact with tickers and
news are frequently influenced
BY shOrt-term considerations.
They disseminate rumOrs, inside
dope among their customers and
prospects. They frequently have
been primarily interested in gen.
Grating trading by spectators
since their compensation Is de-
pendent, indirectly, upon the
volume of business transacted
through them.
"At times their activities
reach the proportions Of high
pressure SaleSmen whose frantic
telephOning and whose conduct
are more compatible with the
boiler room than with custom
ers' rooms Of brokerage firms"
The practice of some customers
men in using persons of promi.
nence, such as motion picture
stars and sports figures, in their
stock promotion schemes also
stirred the commissions ire.
COddled Ball Player
A recent commission inquiry
disclosed how a customers man
Of q large brokerage house fire.
quently allowed a popular baseball
player to make quick profits
through inside information. This
was later used as a selling argu-
ment by the customers man in
his relations with other clients.
Douglas outlined these two steps
to limit the operations of this
group:
/. Customers men should have
no interest. directly or indirectly,
in any security for themselves, ex-
cept that which they have ac-
quired for bona fide investment
purposes.
2. They should be prohibited
from having any interest in an
operation designed to distribute
securities. s-

JUDGES DECREE
PUTS WELFARE

Unique Solution Marks
Divorce Case

CHICAGO, Aug. ~ (C.TPSJ.
In an unusual divorce decree,
Judge Joseph B. David, of the
COOK County Superior Court,
granted Edward G. Kuehn, real es-
late broker, a divorce from Mrs.
verna G. Kuehn, on grounds of
m1ldelity, yet granted the wife
custody of the children.
"As the Master said" Judge
David ruled, "let him without
sin cast the first stone The
court may be all wrong in its
Interpretation Of the law, but I
stu am not ready to subscribe
to the doctrine that If a mother
is guilty Of infidelity, that is itso
facto enough to deprive her Of
custody Of minor children.
NOT CHATTEL
Children are no chattel to be
played with like bottledores and
shuttle cocks.
I'VE can no. permit, as the
ancient courts once did, a father
to tear q sucking child from
the mothers breast"
Judge David indicated that his
ruling was temporary, and ex-
pressed the hope Mr.. Kuehn
would appeal.
Let the higher court take
children away from a mother
because she has erred once" he
said. II will not"
BATHED IN NUDE
Earlier, when Mr.. Kuehn testi-
fled that his wife and another
man went bathing one night,
with no clothes on" Judge David
remarked:
"Oh, what's all this? Be
cause a woman and a man go
bathing at night in the nude,
don't see anything wrong in
that. They do it all the time
in Japan. Lots Of people think
We wear too many clothes

nominated for the presidency at
VineIand, N. J., by convention

Frederick Douglass, the negro re-

Electricity

Hard to define in a scientific way
II can simply be said that electricity
is composed of electrons, the unit of
negative electricity, and protons,
the positive electron. Both units are
so inconceivably small they may
be regarded as mere charges of
energy. To DR.. William Gilbert, who
became physician to Queen Eliza
beth in 1901, goes the credit Of call
ing that something" electric. He
originated the term electric as a
name for any substance such as
amber that was stimulated by fric-
ton. Electric" comes from the
Greek "Elektron. meaning amber.
This was because Thales, a Greek
philosopher, way back in 600 B. c.,
discovered that a piece of amber
rubbed with cloth possessed the
power Of attracting feathers, pieces
of paper and other light bodies.

The Ginsing Plant

The ginseng plant is ten to twenty
inches tall with single stem from
a spindle shaped root that is often
branched. From the top Of the
stem three compound leaves radi-
ate, each composed Of FIVE leaflets
radiating from the top Of the pc
tiole. The two leaflets next to the
petiole are much smaller than the
others. From between the leaves
rises a cluster of small whitish flow
ers followed by berries that are
bright red when ripe. The roots re-
ouire six to ten years to become
full size. The Chinese provide the
