Lawson, of the firm of Moss and Lawson and Company, members of the Toronto Stock Ex- change, presented an interesting and informative talk on the origin and history of the stock exchange and predicted that while the exchange was in its gloomy days at present, there would be a revival of business as the full impact of war orders made itself felt in the coming months. Mr. Lawson was introduced by Rotarian J. J. English, who sald that besides being a member of the Toronto Stock Exchange, Mr. Law- son was g director of the Western Canada Flour Mills, a member of the Toronto Board of Trade, a past president of the Board of Trade Club and active on the Federation of Community Services and in Y, M.C.A. work. "With gloom present in financial circles at the present time it is nice to come to a city that is humming with activity, and consider for a short time a situation that is simi- lar to that of 1914-15," Mr. Lawson sald in his opening remarks. The Stock Exchange had its beginnings in London, Eng. when the govern- ment had need for security brokers and from that point it was easy to switch over to industrial securities. Code of Ethics Devised The need soon arose for some form of organization to protect the brok. ers from the inroads of those out- side the organization. A governing body with a management commit- tee of ten was set up and a code of ethics between themselves and the general public was devised, with heavy penalties imposed for viola- tions. Some of the highlights of the present day rules mentioned in- cluded the restriction that a broker cannot buy from or sell to a cus- tomer, but can act only for others. And he may deal only in securities listed on the floor of the exchange. Then, too, the management is strict about the securities that are listed -- that they are bona fide, that the company listing them has sufficient and that they are properly financed. It is the duty of the management of the stock exchange to see that the management, of the company which is listing stocks has a good reputa- tion, even though they have suf- ficient capital. Cannot Set Prices The stock exchange cannot pass on the value of any stock or se- curity; no member may assist in setting a selling price; the sole duty of the exchange is to provide a market place for securities, Mr. Lawson pointed out. In the early days the chief business was in hand- ling bank stocks and a few utilities. Later as industrial expansion came into effect other - listings were handled, but it was well after 1900 (Continued on Page 8, Col. 7) Two Fires at Noon But ~ No Damage Reported The fire department Hreved two calls within five or six minutes just before noon today. Both fires were of a very minor variety and no property damage was reported. Overheated pipes caused a blaze at the home of B. Lott, 109° Bruce Street, Firemen answered this call and returned to the station within 9 minutes from the time they left, The second blaze, at 882 Simcoe Street South, was caused by spilled wax igniting on an electric stove. It seems that the wax was being heated in a tea pot, when the bot- tom fell out of the pot. There was considerable smoke and a scorching flame but fire was prevented from spreading in the frame _ house, which is owned by Jack Hester. * .s Sng | BINGO, OVER BURNS, WEDNES- day evening, 14th.

As a result of this wave of break-ins chief inspector Wilbur Dawn issued a warning to citizens to make sure their doors and windows are securely fastened before retiring. He pointed out that in warm weath- er the tendency is to leave doors and windows open, and little care is taken to see that screens are secure- ly fastened. At the home of L. Norsworthy, 137 Roxborough street, entry was made by opening the rear door with & skeleton key. About $40 was stolen from a drawer in the kitchen.

P. Mangan, counsel for the defendants, had submitted that it was out of order. The complainant is 76-year-old Henry Moore, a Pick- ering farmer. The case had previously come be- fore Judge Coleman, when a settle- ment was made whereby the father lived upon the old farm, and the sons paid him $250 annually. The latter had found his income insuf- ficient, disclosed Crown-Attorney Annis, and had applied for an old- age pension, with the result that the charge was laid against the two sons by the Crown. "It seems as if we. are in the wrong court before we start," said His Worship Magistrate F. S. Ebbs, later observing that "the judgment of a higher court certainly cannot be altered by a lower court." His Worship reserved his judgment until next week, and consented to the suggestion that it would not be necessary for the parties concernetl to be present at that time. CHARGE DISMISSED The charge of non-support under the Deserted Wives Act against John Netly of Oshawa was dismiss- ed in Police Court this morning. A settlement has been reached be tween the parties concerned. In Meeting Farm Help Crisis Over 1 ,000 Stutlonts Now! Working on Farms and | All Must Register To Get Employment Ottawa, Aug. 13.--It is pretty much up to individuals to decide whether or not they are visitors in Canada or residents so far as nat- ional registration Aug. 19, 20 and 21 goes, Jules Castonguay, Chief Regls- trar, said tonight. Visitors to Canada do not have to register smd anybody able to satisfy authorities that they intend returning to their own country in- stead of residing permanently in Canada will be regarded as a visitor. "A visitor may come to Canada for week, or a month or a year," said Mr. Castonguay. He believed the possibility of fine or imprisonment or both for fail- ure to register if required to do so by regulations wou!d guard against Canadian residents posing as visit- ors. Further, he said, the fact em- ployers must not, under penalty of fine, imprisonmen' or both, employ unregistered workers, should result in gil residents registering in or- der to maintain their means of live- lihood. ONLY 66 BRITISH 10 192 GERMAN PLANES DOWNED Record of Losses for Past Eight Days Are Compiled London, Aug. 13.--In the ast eight days of aerial warfare, three of which have seen the Nazis hurl huge air fleets against the British Isles, the Royal Air Force and anti. aircraft defenses have shot down 170 German planes at a cost of 62 British machines. Last night the Admiralty an- nounced that five German aircraft were shot down on Sunday during engagements between warships and bombers. The five machines were not included in the sixty confirmed as having been shot down on Sun- day, so the total of sixty-five is a new record. Ten of the 62 were lost on the daily and nightly R.AF..raids on Germany and Nazi-occupied lands 50 the ratio of British losses to Ger- man in the man-to-man duelling over the Channel itself is close to one to three. The German losses do not include machines destroyed on the ground during the RAF. attacks and those so badly crippled they probably did not reach home. Following is a compilation by The Canadian Press of the losses from Monday, Aug. 5, to Monday night, Aug. 12, as announced in official British statements: German British Monday 0 Tuesday ...

Aug. 13.--Four key members of the Australian War Cabinet died in the wreckage of an R.AAF. plane which crashed eight miles from Canberra this morning, taking nine lives. Killed in the crash, the worst in the Commonwealth since the outbreak of war, were Hon. G. A. Street, Minister of Army and Re- patriation; Hon. J. V. Fairbairn, Minister of Air (Military and Civil); Sir Henry Gullett, vice- president of the cxecutive council; General Sir Brudeaell White, chief of the general staff. R. E. Elford, secretary to Mr. Fairbairn, and the four members of the plane's crew iso lost their lives in the disaster which has stunned the nation. The plane took off from Mel- bourne for Canberra and there was nothing unusual in the performance of the army machine, as far &s spec- tators could see. Cause of the crash has yet to be determined. A mili- | tary guard was thrown about the | area and the curious were kept at a distance. The accident in which the minis- ters were killed occurred only a mile from the Canberra R.AAF. airdrome where watchers were awaiting its arrivel. They sew the | bomber bringing the ministers to | the capital for a Cabinet session drone in under ideal flying condi- tions, then rise, head south and dis- appear behind a low hill Blow to Nation Immediately afterward there was an explosion and flames and smoke shot skywards. An emergency squad which raced to the spot found the plane blazing beyond salvation. It was impossible to get near the ma- chine. When the flames shated it was seen that the entire undercarriage and the wings and structural sup- ports of the plane had been torn away. It is thought the pilot, in at- tempting to make a forced landing, creshed into a tree, which was found in the middle of the wreck- age. The death of the four Cabinet Ministers is a severe blow to this country's war effort. All four held important posts and were highly re- garded by their colieagues and pub- lic alike.
