The first definite step toward limitation of non essential enterprises requiring capital expenditures, was taXen yesterday by the Federal Reserve Board, which an nounced the appointment of a commit tee of three bankers to act in an ad visory capacity to the capital issues of private securities. The advisory committee, together with committees organized by each of the 11 Federal Reserve Banks, will practically administer the new system, which is based entirely on the theory of voluntary co-operation on the part of the capitalists. Through the Federal Reserve Bank committee and the advisory committee the Federal Reserve Board's capital Is sues committee will give or withhold its sanction to proposed issues of large amounts. Railroads to Be Left Oat. Railroad financing will be left en tirely to the Government Railroad Ad ministration and the Federal Reserve Board system will apply only to securi ties involving municipal public utility and industrial financing. Later the board hopes to devise a Nation-wide method of dealing with transactions of smaller scope. The advisory committee consists of Allen Br Forbes, member of the firm of Harris, Forbes & Co., New York bond dealers: F H. Goff. president of the Cleveland .Trust Company, and Henry C Flower, president of the Fidelity Trust Company, of Kansas City. The committee's counsel will be Bradley W.

Temporarily the Federal Reserve Board' capital issues committee will not pass on individual securities Issues aggregating less than S500.000 in the case of industrial and public utility corporations, and $250,000. in the case of municipalities, nor upon securities having a maturity of less than one year. Legislation is now being framed pro viding some measure of compulsion In the Government regulation of securl ties issues. The board counts strongly however, upon voluntary co-operation and cites that already many appllca tlons have been received from prospec tlve issuers of securities. At each of the 12 Federal Reserve Banks local committees will be organ ixed to assist the central commitee consisting of the chairman of the board and the governor of the reserve bunk and three other bankers or business men. It is distinctly understood, says the Federal Reserve Board's announcement. "that the capital issues committee will not pass upon the Intrinsic merits of individual cases, but only upon the question of whether the objects for which money Is to be raised and spent are essential to and compatible with the National welfare at this time.' Applications for approval of security Issues are to be sent to Washington and the committee here If necessary will forward them to the district Fed eral Reserve Bank for Investigation. The system Is somewhat similar to that of Great Britain. GREEN FUNERAL'TODAY PROMINENT LUMBERMAN MOURNED BY LARGE CIRCLE OF FRIENDS, Shipyards Prowler Sought in Vain.

Which do you eat a hen's egg or a duck's eggf" asks George Taylor, in the role of an advertising genius,, of Edward Everett Horton, in the role of a prospective advertiser. "Why er hens eggs, of course, says E. E. H. WhyT pursues the questioner. I why, I don't know," says E. E. H. "I guess I eat 'em because I know more about 'em. Who ever heard of order ing ducks' eggs?" Just so, says the advertising geni- ous. "Yet, you ve got noining against duck. It's only that when a duck lavs an egg she keeps quiet about It. When a hen lays an egg, she tells the whole world. It's all advertising why. even a hen knows that it pays to adver Use," and here Mr. Taylor stopped to give an excellent Imitation of a hen announcing the achievement of a per sonal egg. Later on In the comedy, when E. IS. H., as the skeptic, has learned that it pays to advertise, he, in turn, springs the hen episode and the imitation of her cackllnk on his father, a dyed-in-the-wool ontl-advertiser, and again the audience shrieks with mirth. Play Full of Laughs. If there is anyone in the audience who wasn't converted to advertising before that merry little comedy at the Baker dropped its final curtain, that person sat where he couldn't hear the millions of reasons given in favor of ad vertising, backed up by Incontrovertible evidence In the form of statistics from the biggest advertisers In the country. All of this, mind you, is done in such fins vein of comedy that it I casts a spell over its hearers. It is all concerned in the telling of a very clever story about a lazy, spoiled son, who didn't want to go to work simply because his father had so much money it wasn't necessary. But father got dreadfully bored with son on an income and merely ornamental, and with the connivance of a sharp-witted little private secretary, with whom son was in love, father lays a plan to en trap son Into working. Father s plan works, but proves a boomerang, for son engages In a small soap business with an aim to buck the trusts. Father represents the soap trust and he laughs amiably for a while oh, for quite some while, until son's flamboyant advertising begins to bring results. Ruth Gates Is Charming. Well from here on you can see the story, but you'll have to see the play itself to get the keen comedy, the un adulterated fun and the many side plots that thicken things considerably, sometimes for the hero, sometimes for father. Ruth Gates. In adorably feminine graces. Is the secretary, and wears some smart new Springish toggery for our delectation. Mr. Horton admirably fits Into the role of son, who becomes father's rival In business and then his partner and Mr. Taylor makes brisk and sure-fire the comedy of the adver tising genius.
