Italeigh, Jan. 26.—1 f a bill recently introduced by Senator Dunlap, of An son, on behalf of the State Insurance Department, is adopted by the General 1 Assembly, North Carolina will have a blue sky-or securities law with toeth in it. according to Insurance Commissioner i Stacey W. Wade. Air. AN ade said he and his assistants wrote the bill on the basis of the best i features of b.ue sky laws of other states. It is very like the Georgia securities law. he added. ■ Dm* of the outstanding features of the proposed law for North Carolina is a requirement that all securities tot be' sc.d in this state, except for a few of the "guilt edge” variety, be qualified and listed on a register to be kept by the ‘ insurance commissioner and to be open to public inspection. In most states, said Mr. NY ade, it is necessary only to file a notice of intention to sell stocks and bonds. Qualifications of securities and their worthiness fyr enrollment is the insur ance commission’s register will be large ly a matter of discretion with the head iof the department, under the proposed ! law. but the.re are certain requriments outlined in the law that must be mea sured up to. These requirements are more stringent than they have ever been in this state heretofore, declared Air NVaed. The issuer of the stock for which sale application has been made would be re quired to post a bond of not le.-s than SI,OOO and not more than SIOO,OOO, in the discretion of the insurance commis sioner. Stock and bond salesmen would have to give bonds of not less than $.">.000 nor more than $50,000 before being au thorized to carry on their business. Here to fore the minimum bond has been SI,OOO. Salemen and dealers would al so have to pay the usual license fee. Under the present blue sky law, said Air. NVade, some security agencies are exempted from the license fee. Under this new bill even banks and trust com panies would have to secure licenses to carry on business in stoeks and bonds and other securities coming under juris diction of the insurance commissioner. Another new phase of Air. Wade's pro posed law is a clause making it unlaw ful for a newspaper to carry advertise ments of securities not listed on the in surance department's qualified register or not exempted from this requirement. Among the exempted securities arc Jionds issued by the federal government or any state and securities handled by any exchange of a city of 500,000 popu lation or over. Alortgage securities would have to be qualified. The insurance commission is author ized. under the new bill, to issue warn ings concernings the presence of b’ue sky law violation in the state and is re quired to advertise the names of stoeks and bonds denied entry on the qualified register. Punishment by a fine or not more than S2OO. a sentence of two years imprison ment or both, is provided in the bill for violation of any of its provisions should it be enacted. The measure is now in the hands of the Senate insurance committee and is expected to come up for consideration in the near future. POSTAL PAY AND RATE BILL STILL IN SENATE Bill Has Right of Way in l'p?x*r House of Congress ami Is Being Fully Dis cussed. Washington, Jan. 26.—The postal pay and rate increase bill continued to have right of way in the Senate today with its rate provisions still the object of at tack by opposition forces.

Duke University Thrills a Great Crowd. Durham, Jan. 25. —For 40 minutes here lass night the Duke university basketball quint kept 2.000 persons al most breathless by a brilliant passing and shooting game which kept the Uni versity of North Carolina on the de fensive and holding the narrow end of the score.

It was a beautiful game, infinitely more spectacular than those attending had anticipated. Tlie ease in which the Duke team p’ayed, and the skill demonstrated by the Tar Heels made it progress as if deliberately planned. It was a great game, and 2,000 fans unanimously say so.
