THE MAGAZINES

Juvenile GambIers.-Any . morning In
Chicago or New York one may see girls
of 16 and II, with their heads close to-
gether over a newspaper liquidation, trying
to figure out winners during their street
car or elevated road ride to the factories
and offices where they are employed, says
Edgar Grant Sisson in The World Today
:for December, Listen to them and you
will hear the language of the track. They
know the relative regulations Of the jock
eys, and can talk glibly Of their riding
weights and Of their seats in the saddle.
They know the, horses and their supposed
1ikings for track, weights and distance.
They are ready for handbook pluck1ng.
Only one thing is worse for these girls
than losing, and that is winning.

December says:
The universal interest awakened by recent ex-
periments with that wonderful property of
matter, radio-activity, has served to. make the
world of readers generally aware of the fact
that diamonds phosphoresce brilliantly in the
dark when exposed. to the emanations from ra-
dunn. Indeed, it has been suggested that this
property offers sure and ready means Of de.
tecting fra udulent stones, But Sir William
Crookes has just discovered that radium produces
another effect upon diamonds which is still more
remarkable and possibly of more commercial i'm.
portance. It appears to be able to cure the de,
feet Of 'off COLOR stones by changing their OBJ
jectionable yellowish hue to the desirable pale
blue blue-green tint characteristic Of first
water gems.

Washington, Dec. 19.-Among those
who are best acquainted with the
presidents views and purposes in re-
gard to the solution of the trust prob
lem it is expected that in a message
to congress, after the holiday recess,
he will urge the wisdom of requiring
that all corporations engaged in inter.
state commerce shc,l be organized un-
der federal chart2s and thus pass
under the control of the general gov.
ernment so far as their corporate
capacity and behavior are concerned.
This course will be the result Of a
long study and exhaustive inquiry
into the conduct of interstate corpora
tions and their effect on the public
in the matter of trade, prices, supply
and demand, transportation and dis
tribution The range of this inquiry
will finally be shown in the published
reports Of the investigation of the
beef trust, the oil trust and the to-
bacco trust.
The beef investigation is finished
and voluminous report, embracing
the work of a number Of special ex-
pert agents of the department of com.

hands of the president for several
weeks. The oil and tobacco inquiry
is now being prosecuted and probably
will be concluded within the next few

Industrial conditions are mainly IA
vorable and with seasonable activity
in retail and holiday distribution in

Cold weather has stimulated heavy

reports of widespread activity in holi-
day distribution come from the Pacific

which latter reports cotton marketing
slower and collections tardier. Plen-

the holding Of cotton easier than in
other years. Industry as a whole is
active, iron and steel notably so, but
