Sometimes a sweater that has been
sent out to be laundered will come back
distorted in shape. Often 1t Is the
sleeves, which will be abbreviated to
nothing or stretched to almost twice
their natural length. In the latter case,
procure some thick boards, just the
length that you would have the sleeves.
Dip the sleeves into boiling water, push
board into each so as to stretch it
transversely, then dry in the hot sun.
When dry, dip again in boiling water,
this time slightly salted, and dry again

The Guards in Camp.
Camp Jennings, J
Jacksonville, Florida, 7
September 9Th, 1903. )


Company "Dn arrived safely in
camp at O'Clock this morning, a lit
tie the worse for wear but cheerful.
At East Palatka the company was
Joined by company l. of Miami, COM
pany / of Key West and X of DaytO-
ma, which made up the entire second
battalion of the Second Regiment.
The boys were also joined by COM
pany J Of St. Augustine, of the First
Regiment. This made an entire sol
dier train of thirteen coaches.
On arrival the various commanders
of companies We're furnished with
transportation to the grounds, four
miles distant, and the trolly ride was
real treat, saving the men a long
tramp through the sand in midday.
The camp grounds were reached at
10 :05, when a rest was taken to await
the arrival of baggage. There was
some delay IN getting the equipage to
the grounds owing TO the scarcity of
teams to transport it. Tents were is
sued this afternoon and now the
quarters are assuming an appearance
of order.
The camp grounds extend along
the river front some half mile and
the location is all that could be de-
sired; it is cool and pleasant with an
abundance of shade trees.
The routine duties of camp began
this afternoon and the boys are up
against the real thing called solder
ing. They are all taking as matter
of course and are performing their
duties willingly and cheerfully.
The Guards compare most favora-
bly, with any other company in camp
in appearance, in number of men and
all other respects. Their efficiency
in drilling showed up far above the
average and their officers are proud
of the showing made.
Nearly all of the hard work Incl
dent to establishing camp is finished
and by tomorrow everything will be
in much better shape for comfort
and that's what we are looking for,
and that's what we'll get. J. d. b.

Two Chronic CraEes.

One of the ways to get into swell So
ciety is to butt in through the turf or
the tan bark - the race track or the
horse show. A certain well known man
has already spent $5OO,OO0 on the tan
bark without penetrating the outer Gu
ticle Of the haut monde, and when he
has spent another $500,000 he will still
be butting. There are two crazes which
cannot be cured--the craze for society
and the craze for political office.-New

AMERICAN BAR ASSOCIATION
Divided as to Whether Formation Of
Trusts Should Be Stopped.

Hot Springs, Va, Aug. 27.-At the
morning session of the American Bal
Association the annual address wa.
delivered by I.eBaron B. Colt of Rhode
Island, United States judge of the first
circuit. Judge Colts subject was the
''Reasonableness of the Law"
The committee of legal education
was presented by Joseph II. Beal OF
Massachusetts.
Walter S. Logan of New York, made
a verbal report from the committee or
commercial law. He commended the
national bankruptcy law and then dis
cussed the trust question. He said il
would have to be settled by the law
yers; if they did not the demag ogues
would.
If combinations continue, competition
will cease and commercial jurispru-
dence will eventually be entirely
changed. The committee, he said, had
reached the unanimous conclusion that
modern industrial combinations should
be stayed --
Charles F. Henderson of Nebra ska,
said the report of the committee had
filled him with amazement, surprise
and indignation. He said the report
was calculated to send the association
asunder, and he resented the attempt
TO turn the body into "a political hust-
iEgs." He asked that the report be
read. There was opposition to the
motion and considerable confusion.
The convention agreed to hear the
report at once 1t was read by Chair
man Logan and was very fully discuss
ed
On the subject of trusts, the report
of this the important question now be-
fore, the American Bar. 1t says COM
bnations are rapidly driving out of
business the small dealer and the
small producer. These two classes
heretofore. have furnished the largest
number of petitioners in bankruptcy
courts. But now industrial combina-
Itions of gigantic magnitude. too large
for bankruptcy court to manage and
two rich to need to be called before it
have been substituted.
The report deals at great length with
the modern combinations and refers
particularly to the United States Steel
Company, the Standard Oil Company,
Copper Company, and
the shipping trust.
Three remedies are suggested, in
brief as follows:
"First-We can tax them to death; or
if that is too radical remedy, we can
tax them until their growth and en-
is impeded.
"Second-We can compel them to
render better and cheaper service.
'."Third-If necessary the State itself
can enter the industrial field as pro-
Queer and restore the force of competi-
ton to its former supremacy by being
itself a competitor
The report is signed by all the mem
bers of the committee
