WHY— —
Companies Change Stock Value
From Par to No-Par
The term "no par value stock" Is
applied to the certificates of shares
of stock of any corporation which Is
authorized to divide Its capital stock
Into equal shares of no stated denom
inational value. These certificates con
tain no reference to the normal, face
or par value of the shares. The ac
tual value of each share can be esti
mated approximately by an outsider
at any time by dividing total net as
sets by amount of stock Issued. The
mnrket price also approximately Indi
cates the value. Whenever necessary
In the course of business, the value of
these shares may be fixed In amount
by the directors. The shares are
merely equal shares In property and
profits, or in effect, participation cer
tificates. About a third of Industrial
stocks are of this kind.
No-par shares do away with the
meaninglessness of “par value,” avoid
ing any supposition that there is an
equivalence between actual values and
par value of stock. In most states, a
corporation must obtain permission
from a state board to sell stock certifi
cates, el tlier directly or through
brokers. Authority Is usually required
to change par value or Issue new stock
certificates.
Why Terms “Racket” and
“Racketeering” Are Used
The terms “racket" and “racketeer
ing” have been applied In recent years
to various kinds of wrongdoing, some
of which may be actually within the
law. Colonal Randolph of Chicago
limited it to “a conspiracy to commit
extortion by Intimidation, force, vin.
lence, blackmail, arson, murder, kid
naping, bombing or undue influence."
The word originally had to do only
with violent noise-making, but In “The
Slang Dictionary,” published In Eng
land in 1S73, we find also the mean
ings, “n dodge, maneuver or exhibi
tion." The Oxford Dictionary gives It
os a slang term for a dodge game or
line of business. Vizetelly’s Deskbook
of Idioms gives the phrase "Tumble to
the racket" as meaning “to under
stand the plan or scheme."
Why Submarine Ha* Two Hull*
A submarine is composed of prac
ticnlly two hulls. The inner one Is a
cigar-shaped affair, called the “pres
sure hull,” which Is so constructed as
to withstand an external pressure of
88 pounds per square inch, which is
the outside water pressure on the hull
at 200 feet depth. Surrounding this
hull Is another hull of a nonstrength
type, which will withstand, when emp
ty, an outside pressure of but 14 to 18
pounds per square inch. When diving,
this hull Is Sited with and open to the
outside water; consequently, no out
side pressure upon it. Its vents and
kingston valves are left open during
submergence. The water entering this
tank destroys the buoyancy and the
vessel is able to be taken down under
neath the surface.. When it Is desired
to come to the surface the water is
blown out of this tank by compressed
air.
Why Term "Limited” I* Used
The word “Limited” In such a name
as “John Smith. Ltd.” signifies that
the firm is a limited liability company.
I. e., that the financial responsibil
ities of the members of the company
or the shareholders are limited either
to the face value of the shares they
hold In the company, or by any finan
cial guarantee they may have given.
Without this safeguard, the partners
In a business are liable to the last
penny for the debts of the partner
ship, even their private property be
ing Impounded, If necessary.
Why Peanut Shell* Are Uteful
Did you know that the lowly pea
nut shell can be reduced chemically
to a liquid that kills flies? Just think
of all the peanut shells people throw
away at the circus, baseball game,
movies, etc. But the peanut eaters
who attended the football games in
the Iowa State college stadium last
fall didn’t cause any hard feelings
among the clean-up crew. The more
peanuts eaten at the games the better
they liked It. They swept up the hulls
and carried them to the college lab
oratory where a chemist reduced
them to fly spray.
Why * Barn I* Rad
Custom has a lot to do with It. but
CHIEF HUMAN DESIRES
According to an advertising
authority, people are most eaa
il'y i$old something which they
strongly desire, or for which
such desire of the average per
son, it is said, including the fol
lowing:
To make money; to escape
physical pain; to be comfort
able; to avoid effort; to re
ceive praise; to sidestep troub
le; to attract the opposite sex;
to have enjoyment; to be in
style; to save time—and some
cither desires closely allied to
these.

such as Is used on farm buildings, 1*
the cheapest and most serviceable
paint there Is. It would be Just as
serviceable on a house. The red paint
customarily seen on barns is composed
of Venetian red, a cheap coloring mat
ter. mixed with a liquid which has lin
seed oil for its base. So long has that
combination been used on barns, corn
cribs, hog houses and other farm build
ings, that any other color causes com

Why We See One Side of Moon
The period of the moon’s rotation
on Its axis coincides with its period
of revolution around the earth. Due
to the moon's libratlon In latitude and
longitude, at various times small por
tions beyond the poles and at the east
and west rim are visible from the
earth.
Why Croaking Frogs Presage Rain
This superstition is common In the
dry country of southwestern United
States and is traced back to the
Arawak Indians, who were its early
inhabitants. A “frog cult” existed
among the primitive peoples of the
West Indies at about the time of Col
umbus.
cipaily of desires for things not
absolutely, essential to exist
ence, a? are food and clothing.
When One stops to think about
it, most modern desires are for
conveniences and luxuries
hardly dreamed of a century
ago.
In fact, if people were sud
denly tio become satisfied with
the mere necessaries of life a
majority of all industrial and
business enterprises would
have to go Out of business. The
creation of new desires, which
make for a higher standard of
living has been due largely to
the power of advertising.
New devices and products
which add to human satisfact
ion, comfort and enjoyment
would make slow headway
without advertising to create a
desire for them on the part of
the public.

acres covering a newly found
oil structure on the Iniskin
Chitina Peninsula, 150 rrAiles

the oil will be of paraffin base.
The new oil field is in a dif
