AMUSEMENTS What the Press Agents Say Abont MAE MURRAY IN FASHION ROW , Mae Murray in 'Fashion Row" latest Tiffany production for Metro release of this favorite star, at the Capitol theatre today. Crowded audi- epces testified by their reception of the new picture that "Fashion Row" is the best in Mae Murray's long list of successes. It has every pictorial and dramatic appeal that delights audi- ences. The story is interesting, the scenes are stunning, the cast support- ing the star is one of high excellence, and Miss Murray is ravishing in the dual role of two sisters. As Olga Gari. nova, the newest rage of Broadway, Miss Murray is dazzling, and in the role of the drab little Russian peasant girl, Zita, she shows how great must be her art to portray so realistically these ' contrasting characters. Miss Murray's gowns and dances are high- lights of "Fashion Row," while there are many scenes of lavish beauty. Earle Foxe, Freeman Wood, Elmo Lincoln and Mathilde Brundage are in the cast. "Fashjon Row" was direct- ed by Robert Z. Leonard. rs. will be received b, a Jor the purchase o wi nas the Fd .

Straus, President American Society for Thrift Hoarding is as unlike true thrift as a pile of iron ore is unlike a powerful locomotive. The iron ore represents potential strength and power. {But it must be put through certain processes of - ration and become ACTIVE before its usefulness is made available. . Hoarded wealth is a dead weight on business. Between the miser and the dthrift there is to choose ob A on the scales of moral and social valuation. | The hoarding processes grade u Ward from the 40: \ jsolute miser to those who for 'various reasons hide away tions of Epa \ of business. i were recently in the United States Treasury Department. These figures reveal that the amount of which may be termed as to $400, » persons who are definitely classed as misers with $44,000,000 hid- A hol" 000,000 of their earnings. In rural districts, especially where banking facilities are inadequate, there is much hoarding. This is shown by the fact that when a bank is started in a rural locality where no bank existed before, personal deposits made ,up largely from hoarded sums at once begin to make their appear- ance. About $125,000,000 it " officiall imate: is hoarded MAIN! communities.

In Premiums For Fire Insurance On | Rented Stocks. The following letter was received by the J. K. Carrol firm of insurance agents, and throws some light on the recent increase on premiums for fire insurance on retail stocks. It is from the Canadian Fire Underwriters Association: "Dear, Sirs: I duly received your letter of the third, referring to the recent increase in stocks in your i | city. I might say first of all that this | increase is not specially upon risks in Kingston, but applies to every specially rated place in Ontario and ; also in Quebec. "It is a matter of knuwledge, not man but to all classes of the community who read the public press, that the fire losses in Canada, and especially in Ontario, have been very heavy in the last few years. Efforts have been made by the Ontario Fire Prevention Bureau and by various public bodies including the Canadian Manufacturers' As- sociation to arouse the public, but so far apparently without success. "It must be borne in mind that the expense ratio of the companies is now 40 per cent. of the premiums, of which 5 per cent. represents the taxes td the dominion and provincial governments, so that in 1922 there was a straight loss of 11 per cent. of the premium income and last year a loss of 7 per cent. upon the prem. fums. The fire insurance companies have heen very patient | and ' have been hoping that there would be some change in the situation and the increases have 'been applied only to those classes upon which. the losses have been very heavy, and on those classes the assured have been ob- taining their insurance at consider- ably less than cost. "The fire losses should, I think, convince any reasonable person that the action of the insurance compan- ies is justified and reasonable. "Yours truly, "(Sgd.) John A. Robertson, Secre- tary."
