Stronger Laws
On Securities
Proposed

BALTIMORE. Oct. IL (Spe-
ciaD Enactment of stronger
laws governing the sale of Sc
curities was recommended to-
day to the Maryland Legisla-
tive Council.
A special committee, headed
by Baltimore Attorney Arthur
w. Machen. jr., said that
Maryland laws on the sale OF
stocks are not adequate to pro-
tect the public from possible
fraud.
Maryland's so-called blue
sky law" was adopted in 1887
The committee said that this
law is mechanically cumber-
some" and requires the at
torney-general to get a court
order to stop the sale Of ques-
Itionable securities.
The committee said this pro-
cedure provides little obstacle
to fraudulent securities trans
actions.
| Under legislation proposed by
the committee brokers and Sc
curity dealers would be required
to register and renew their reg
istration annually. They also
would be required to register
securities to be sold in Mary
land.
The law would establish
criminal penalties for violating
the regulation and for violating
administrative orders issued il
connection with the law.
The committee recommended
that a new securities division
be established under the attor'
ney general to administer tbs
law.
A move to revive Maryland
blue sky law" was started last
year during the haSsle ovel
savings and loan associations
The attorney general discovered
at that time that several re.
Gently chartered multi-stocI
associations were preparing tt
sell large blocks of stock before
the savings and loan regula
tons could be placed on the
books.
The committee said that mil.
lions of dollars worth of secu.
rites, most of them unregis-
tered. are being sold annually
in Maryland.
1--WE do not believe that the
sale Of wholly unregistered Sc
curities in such volume is in the
public interest" the committee
said.

Thrift Week Set
For October 1921

National Thrift Week will be
observed by many financial in
stitutions in this area october
1921 in line with a Nation
wide observance.
The National Association of
Mutual Savings Banks released
plans for observance by its
members today and the United
States Savings and Loan
League will give its usual
strong support to the observ-
ance.
The National Thrift Com
mittee works the year round
to make people thrift conscious,
declared President Samuel w.
Hawley in statement. Very
few voices are raised to point
out the dangers of overextended
Indebtedness or to put in a
word for old-faShioned thrift, "
he said.

Auto Strikes
Slow SteeI's
Recovery

NEW YORK. Oct. II (AP)
Slack in the auto industry
has forced writing off of Oc-
tober as a major recovery
month in steel production, the
Iron Age said today
Its appraisal closely followed
disclosure that the Nations
steel output turned downward
last week for the first time in
more than two months, falling
to about 70 per cent of ca
pacity.
Auto strikes, first at Cen
eral Motors, then at Ford, lost
too much production to be
made up by increases in gen.
eral business" the metalwork-
ing weekly said.
Moreover, GIN has not sched-
uled expected overtime to COM
pensate for two weeks of shut
down in September.
Most of the steel GIN will
consume in October was turned
out last month, the magazine
said, and now the pattern ap-
pears to be repeating itself at
Ford.

selling on their cuisine and
service.
Only last week an acquiant-
ance. Just returned from
Europe, was lauding the service
aboard kim Royal Dutch to
the point of saying she had
never seen such excellent serv-
ice and attention"
In all the economic gloom
there is a bright light in the
airline business out West.
Relatively unknown outside
a limited area in the West a
few years ago, Continental Air
lines is one of the few in the
Nation showing a profit during
the first six months of this
year.
Airlift Magazine has called
Continental's utilization of its
five BOeing 707 jets "phenom-
email" The line schedules each
aircraft for Is hours flying per
day-probably the highest fig
ure in the industry.
Major factor in the high uti-
lization is the company's per
petual" maintenance program
in which major overhaul is
done on a regular daily time
table, eliminating the need to
pull aircraft out of service.
President Robert F. Six long
ago went for the instant
boarding" service whereby the
passenger checks his luggage,
climbs aboard and buys his
ticket en- route.
Starting in 1884 as the
Southwest division OF Varney
Speed Lines, Continental flew
the 520-mile route between
Pueblo and Ell PaSo and carried
nine passengers in the first Is
days.
To day the Continental sys-
tenn covers 1000 miles and
serves SO cities in nine states.

Jim Pyle has done aviation
and his country a great serv-
ice"
This was the praise issued
by FAA Administrator N. E.
Halaby this week following an
nouncement that his deputy
James T. Pyle. a former CAA
administrator, was resigning to
60 into private industry.
His new post has not been
announced.
Mr.. Halaby said, while I
understand why he feels it nee
eSSary to leave Government
service for private industry, I
regret we are losing him"

the detriment of its holders be-
cause the terms were extremely
conservative, he declared.
In addition to it's production
of asphalt roofing and siding,
Flintkote went into the gypsum
business, lime and limestone,
portland cement, prefabricated
panelized construction. paper
board manufacturing, CONNER
cial, industrial and residential
tile, aSbestos-cement pipe and
fiber-glass spray construction.
He predicted an entire new
industry will be founded on a
new company device which per-
mitS the spraying of fiberglaSs
for the construction of small
boats. the sides and roofing of
buildings and even the coating
of irrigation bitches to prevent
water leakage in dry areas.
Tested in Texas
The fiberglass coating of ir-
rigation bitches actually is be-
ing tested by the Kern County
Land Co. in Texas, and the first
years results indicate a ire
mendouS future for this type of
use, he said.
One of the first big struc-
lures with this type of roofing
is the new District stadium.
Mr.. Pecaro predicted new fiber
glaS uses would establish an
industry as great as the asphalt
roofing business.
The low-cost gypsum depos-
its in Newfoundland will add
substantially to profits, the
speaker predicted. The big lease
calls for payment of only so
cents ton of royalty on a tax
free basis. This is as cheap as
the taxes alone on deposits in
other locations, he said.

It will be on the 25-acre site of
the old Camden Coke Co. with
rail connections on the Penn
sylvania Railroad and PennSyl-
yania Seashore Lines. Supply
ships will be leased.
!, The tract on the Delaware
River was acquired from the
Public Service Co. of New Jer-
sey recently for an undiSclosed
sum, subject to approval by the
New Jersey Public Utilities
Commission.
& Addressing the Washington
eociety of Investment Analysts,
Mr.. Pecaro described the New
foundland deposits as adequate
for at least 100 years. A go
year lease covering 100 square
miles initially has proven gyp-
sum reserves estimated at As
million tons.
Can Be Expanded
The lease is renewable for a
second SO years and can be
expanded to cover 5000 addi-
tional square miles. he added.
The company also has acquired
D substantial gypsum deposit
near Fort Dodge, Iowa. and is
planning a plant there to serve
Midwestern States.
. Flintkote's expansion into
the gypsum business is part OF
} broad diversification program
which has greatly changed the
Eompany's outlook in the last
five years, Mr.. Pecaro told the
analysts.
The expansion has boosted
sales. while profits have been
reduced in early stages Of the
program. However, with earn
mgs improving each quarter
this year. he said the company
will be able to maintain divi-
bends.
He estimated that net income
for 1861 will be around 10 per
cent behind net of $12,963,627
in 1860. but that profits for
1852 should be well above either
1960 or 1861.
:, He predicted 1861 sales will
be around 3 to 5 per cent below
$252 million for 1860 but that
projects now on the way should
add $50 million to $50 million
to the annual volume.
This would raise the total to
between $285 million and $500
million. Still other projects be-
ing planned should raise the
total by another $35 million to
$50 million. he said.

Skote embarked on an intensi-

WORDS, WIT
AND WISDOM
BY WILLIAM MORRIS

@. Recently in one of my
classes the pronunciation Of
the word "hara kari" was dis
puted. I said the word was pro-
nounced ha-ra (both as as in
"cat~ KAH-rih, while the
teacher said 1t was pronounced
ha-ra KIR-ih. Kindly tell me
which is correct?-John Fratto,
Clarksburg, W. Va.
A. The term comes direct
from Japanese and is properly
spelled "hara-kiri," though the
spelling "hari-kari" is also ac-
cepted.
The pronunciation favored
by your teacher is the one also
favored by dictionaries, though
they indicate a slight prefer
ence for a long-h in the first
syllable - like this: hah-rah-
KEAR-ih. All told, however,
the World Webster Dictionary,
for example, cites four possible
recommendations Of this word:
hah rah KEAR in: ha-
ruh-KEAR-ih; hah-rih-KAH-
rih; and hah-ruh-KA-rih.A AS
the circus barkers used to say
Evening star., 1961-05-29

You pays yer nickel and you
takes yer choice"
If 1t makes life any easier
for you. note that the Japanese
themselves don't use this term
when referring to ritual suicide.
They call this ceremony, which
is resorted to by high-ranking
Japanese to avoid disgrace, as
"seppukku." The idea remains
distasteful to Occidental minds
but at least the word is easier
to pronounce correctly!
@. We Just came back from
a trip and I saw the word
"buses" spelled two different
ways on signs. I always
thought the correct way was
buses" but we saw several
signs reading "busses." I think
this is incorrect. What do you
think?-Dolores Kennedy. Oco-
nomowoc, Wis.
A. Either spelling is accepted.
American preferences opposed
to doubling the final consonant
in forming plurals and variant
forms of verbs (for example,
travel, Travelled, traveling). Brit
ish usage favors such doubled
consonants (busses, travelled,
travelling. But you can't draw
any hard and fast line; you
will find both styles in both
countries.

his books to readers whose let
ters are quoted in this column.
