An UnhrOken Smell.

When we have "spell O. weather"
and wet weather at that, we have only
to recall the climatic conditions of
Dartmoor, in England, in order to be
thankful for a little.
The moor has, says a writer in
COrnhill, an eternal procession Of
clouds, infinitely varied in form, light
ed with white radiance or lowering
in gloom, rent, tattered Or filmy, gath
ering, menacing, creeping round to
swathe you in a mist of rain, or drop
ping one Of those silvery showers
lighted with sunshine from behind.
Of heavier rain there is no lack, and
all one can say of the perennially
beautiful moor is summed up in the
verse invented by its enemies:
The south wind always brings us rain.
The north wind blows it back again.
The west wind surely means wet
weather.
The east wind wet and cold together.

Dog sweaters are the --latest thing"
in canine clothes, says the Philadel-
phia Press. They are not the old-fash-
Toned blankets made in the many diff
ferent styles of the past dozen years,
but knit sweaters made with as much
care, apparently as those the athletic
girl wears while skating.
But these sweaters are just now in
tended for the dog that goes riding
with his mistress in an automobile.
For this purpose the aforesaid mis-
tress discovered that the blanket, no
matter how tightly it fitted "dear
Fido," was not sufficient to keep him
warm in the cold air that whizzes
past the occupants of an automobile
as they dash along. So she had the
sweater knit for him, and the question
Of how the dog was to be kept warm
was solved.
Only few of the new kind of "dog
clothes" have been made as yet but,
as one fair automobilist expressed it,

Graduation from the Naval Acad-
envy at Annapolis is not prerequisite
TO winning a commission in the navy.
Not long ago nine enlisted men were
promoted to the rank of ensign, having
shown themselves fit for service along
with those who had had the formal
training of the Naval Academy. TIL,
promotions were made under a recent
act of Congress, which authorizes the
Secretary of the Navy to recommend
to the President not more than twelve
men each year from among the boat
sWainS, gunnerS or warrant officers
whom he considers capable of perform
ing the duties of ensign. The men so
promoted are in line to become rear
admiralS, or even admirals.

Many church organizations regard

figures are contradictory. Writers in

which appeal, but which are followed
by others showing that the reformers
exaggerate. 1t is full time, therefore,
that somebody should collect accurate
statistics. A resolution introduced In
the United States Senate imposes this
duty on the census bureau and in.
cludes the record of marriages also.

merit Of securing some figures which
could be accepted as having authority.

THE POTTfR'S CLAY.

With all the triumphs Of human in
genuity, pottery has not advanced
step in the perfection of its handl-
work since wheels were first turned in
the streets of Teheran. Steam and
electricity may do their best to tempt
the clay to a new Elasticity, but all
the finest work still comes from the
old Wheel The potter can shape his
wet clay to the best advantage when
the hands control the machine, hand
responsive to the busy mind. A writer
in the London Mail tells how he saw
a potter coaXing, persuading his clay
into shape.
The wheel was whirling in a zinc
pan. 1t was thing like a small
grindstone, revolving horizontally, the
same sort of wheel that hummed in
Babylon and Nineveh before the Bible
was written. A foot-crank and pedal
held it in control, and near by stood
a woman, weighing gray-green clay in
to balls, and ranging them where the
potter could reach them easily.
The man straddled his stool and
stretched his foot to the pedal. He
had reflective eyes, peaceful beneath
his spectacles, and there was about
him an air of confident purpose. He
took the stuff between his fingers,
tried it with trained thumb, glanced
at the hub of the wheel, and threw
the ball of clay 1t struck and whirled,
and with his fingers he drew it to a
cone.
1t rose under his touch like liv-
ing thing, compelled. His cupped
hands rose over it's crown, and the
cone was a beehive; a thumb COM
PEELED it, and it was a basin. A fore
finger touched it, and it grew taller,
narrowing nervously; and presently
the petal of it's lip was poised on a
slender neck. Down slid the thumb,
and the clumsy thickness of the base
dwindled while the structure grew.
A touch here, little guidance there,
and the clay was lifted from the wheel,
a lordTy fiagon.
There are six thousand potters in
England working in this primitive and
wonderful way. Here in this district
Of seven miles, called the lotteries, are
kilns and smoke and desOlation, with
shapes of beauty rising all the time
from the turning wheel. All grades Of
workmen are busy here. There is the
journeyman 'thrower," who is perhaps
turning out cups. They come from the
wheel like bullets from Il machine gun.
He can read a paper While he makes
them. His hand moves over and I'M
der, tightens here and leases there,
until the marvel is accomplished. Then,
between perhaps the hundredth dozen
and the next, he becomes an artist,
and turns his clay to the shape Of his
fancy. 1t may be that he makes a
vase, a bowl or a chalice. Then, hay
ing for the moment given rein to his
fancy, he returns to his cups. Such
scope is there in this kingdom Of wet

The unanimous decision of the 81.
preme Court of the United States suss
tanning Judge Grosscup's injunction in
the case of the Chicago packing com
panies is Of Importance not only in the
application of the antitrust law to
those companies but in it's application
to industrial companies and combina-
tons generally. It's Importance in this
respect is due to the fact that in
measure it establishes a definition OF
interstate commerce. In decision rem.
dered years ago the court held, in sub
stance, that manufacturing was not i'll,
terstate commerce; that the operations
of manufacture were necessarily local
and therefore could not be regarded as
commercial. 1t was generally infer
red that concerns engaged in manufac-
turing were not engaged in interstate
commerce and therefore were not sub
ject to the provisions Of the antitrust
law. The present decision in effect
declares that concerns engaged in man-
ufacturing may also be engaged in in
terstate commerce and therefore may
be subject to the provisions Of that
law. Speaking of the decision, Judge
Grosscup says: 1.-The substance Of the
case presented to the Circuit Court
was whether the purchase Of cattle
from sellers living in different States
to manufacture into dressed meats and
the sale Of such meats to purchasers in
different States constituted interstate
commerce" The general doctrine thus
established, that all such transactions
constitute interstate commerce, is
plainly Of pretty wide application. AS
President Roosevelt remarked in his
Philadelphia speech, Cali great bust
ness concerns are engaged in interstate
commerce." This is as true, only in
somewhat less degree, of great con-
Germs engaged in the manufacturing
business as of great concerns in lner-
camille business. The former, like the
latter, are both buying and selling in
different States, and this part of their
business is by the constitution subject
to regulation by Congress. If in con-
Quoting this part of their business they
violate the provisions of the Sherman
law they are subject to it's penalties
as much as they would be if their bust
ness was wholly mercantile. Judge
Grosscup is right in saying that the
decision "fortifies the Sherman act"
and that sit is a. long step in the direc-
ton of effectual government supervis
ion" He may be mistaken, however,
in the opinion that ''the organiza ton
and supervision by the nation itself of
the great corporations of the future"
will follow as a natural and logical
sequence. If it results in minimizing
the hurtful restraint of trade the coun-
try will have reason enough to rejoice.
