If 9. i - ii- CLEVER FANNIE WARD AT THE GRAND TOMORROW. Having scored such a pronounced success as the vivacious little Eng lish actress in the days of the pow dered wig and courtly manners in "The Winning of Sally Temple," the charming Lasky actress, Fannie Ward, will" now be seen as a modern and Clever young society woman in the nhntn-dramatic adaptation of Stanislaus Stange's clever comedy, "The School for Husbands," which will be the LaskyParamount picture at the Grand tomorrow. The photo-play version of this clever story was prepared especially for Miss Ward by Harvey T. Thew. Each production in which Miss Ward appears proves her more ver satile and more charming, until now she is hailed as one of the foremost actresses on the screen. Either, in intense dramas as "The Cheat," or in clever comedy as "The School for Husbands," Miss Ward excels. Miss Ward is first seen in a rather faded wrapper, eye-glasses and her hair brushed straight back, but later appears in an array of gowns such ae she only can wear. For this pro duction Miss Ward selected from her famous wardrobe some heretofore t unseen creations. Included in the cast are Jack Dean, Frank- Elliott, Mabel Van Buren, Edythe Chapman, James Neill, Frank Borzage and others. The production was made for the Lasky company under the direction of George Melford. Is W.L. Groom, President of Great Concern, Who Writes Facts on Tanlac.

' THE GLOP.V OF THE MATTON . ..U AM ALU ilA VI (AQRAPH tAil "That her little one may live she sacri fices herself and if need , be' she faces a firing squad gladly that her country may be free." WHAT "LISTING" MEANS. What is there in the so-called "list ing" of a stock or bond which places it in a different class from the un listed security ' This question is a composite of various queries which have come to this department in relation to the matter of "listing." Many of them re veal that there still exists much pop ular misconception as to its mean ing and purpose. It is important, above ail, that the public should banish any idea that the listing of a security by an ex change means that the exchange au thorities recommend the stock or bond for investment or speculative purposes. Yet it is a fact that a se curity acquires, as the result of list-1 ing, a place in what we might call "market aristocracy." But why? The answer is found in the fact that a listed security has been found, upon examination by stock exchange authorities, to conform to certain pre scribed standards of legality, safety and workmanship.. A stock exchange does not guar antee a listed security; it assumes no responsibility for the future price or position of the stock or bond, and it does not offer its judgment as to the value of the property. But it does certify that care has been exercised in examining the securities, and the listing is to be regarded as reason able assurance that the securities have been legally issued, that as to text and printing they meet the re quirements which are a protection against misuse, and that they repre- ' sent at the time of listing a prop erly organized solvent and going con cern. The rules of the New York Slock Exchange as to listing are more drastic than those of other exchanges in this country. At one time this exchange had an unlisted as well as a listed department, but the former was abolished in 1910, with beneficial results. A corporation desiring to list secu rities on the New York Stock Ex change files a comprehensive applica tion, presentinsMvitU it a payment of $50 for each $1,000,000 or part there-) of of the par value of any class ofi security to be listed. The corporation must recite the de tails of its organization and the na ture of its securities, and must de scribe its properties. These details have to be presented very fully. A committee of five passes upon the 3 X V. - application, us juagmeni suujeui iu the ratification of the governing committee. Listing assures the public of great er publicity as to the security. Not only are the reports contained in the applications open to' the public, but a corporation with a listed security must answer certain requirements as to the periodical publication of a financial report. Listing makes a se curity a member of a continuous mar ket; it increases its value as col lateral. There are, of course, numerous se curities which, though not listed, are of standard and stable character. This does not mean that application for their listing has been refused, but that the officers of the corporations behind them see no advantage in ,having them listed. Questions and Answers. How about that "severfth point"? The little Ku-Klux-Klan men seem to have disappeared from the advertis ing columns. Has the concern behind them disappeared, too? W. K. E. Our inquirer refers, it is evident, to the Sterling Gum Co. The "seventh point," which so many readers of the Sterling Gum advertising and so many patrons of the company's com modity sought to locate in order to gain a handsome prize that "seventh point," seems to have been discovered at last and to have bean found of a sharp and painful nature, at least to holders of the company's stock: The company's assets have been sold in li quidation to the American Chicle Co.. the latter company agreeing to take all outstanding stock at 40 cents per share. There was $6,000,000 of stock, par value $5. At one time the stock was active and rose considerably above par, but the price was not maintained after it began to be known that, despite the big men in the coni: pany, the, profits promised for it were not being realized. A lavish sum was expended in advertising. In this and other ways the cash resources were depleted to an extent which left the company without substantial founda tion for public investment purposes. fi IIX 'afterwards. She asked whether it was close 12 cents in postage stamps Proper to feel that we have more ngnt to cover expenses to ask our friends to do favors for -x- us than to ask mere acquaintances, whether or not we should. say things to our friends we would not say to those we do not know quite so welL Personally Ethel felt that we often abused our friendship. She does not think we should ask of our friends many things that we could expect equally well of others. She believed in leaning upon them only in emer gencies Marie, on the other hand, declared that she thought we. should be just as quick to go to our friends as to our own people. "After all," she continu ed, "if that Is not our privilege what shall distinguish a friend from an ac quaintance?" There is no doubt that we are often inclined to abuse friendship. How ever, I feel that this is very seldom the case. Most of us value our friends too highly to even wish risking their displeasure. In answer to this argument from me, Ethel said she felt that what I had brought up was the greatest argu ment in behalf of her point of view. "We don't appreciate our friends enough," she said. "We take them for granted after a while, and it is then that we begin imposing upon them." This view won me to her side, and gradually all the girls admitted that they were often tempted to take unfair advantage of their friendship. Not that they did their friends any severe harm they simply abused the priv ileges which a true friendship inev itably brings with it. ing between $0.01 and $0.25, are fixed by the Curb Association, but these others, as given, are the commissions generally applied. Are public utilities under regula tion as to rates charged? . P. P. Nearly all Statei of the Union have commissions which are in authority over public utilities, and while not all have the power to fix rates, they all exercise considerable regulative authority, f Sora of them cannot fix a rate without special authority from the Stale Legislature. But it. is, on the whole, to be considered the fact that, public utilities are under reg ulation as to rates by the respective SlateCommissions. Public utility in terests light, power and traction are now preparing to ask authority to make rate advances in order to offset abnormally high prices for fuel, materials and labor. (Copyright, 1917, Investors Public Service, Inc.) What are the commission rates on orders for execution on the New York Curb? F. X. M. The regular scale of commissions of the New York Curb Market Asso ciation follows: On stocks selling at $0.25 and under $1, 2 pier cent, of the amount involved; on stocks selling at $1 and under $3, $3.12 per 100 shares; from $3' to under $5, $5 per 100 shaVes; frdin $5 to under $10, $6.25 per 100 shares; froni $10 to un der $200, $12.50 per 100 shares. The minimum commission in any single tranisactiori is $1 but on stocks of very low market value the commis sion above $1 ia figured on the basis of $0.50 per 100 shares on stocks selling at $0.10 and under $0.25, and the same rate for stocks selling un der $0.10 per share.
