Look After the Nails.

The us-iest nails can be improved by
taking the trouble to push back the
hard skin that grows at the base Of
the nails. This should be done after
the hands have been washed in warm
soap and water and are still moist. A
soft towel is the best thing to use for
the purpose, or an ivory or bone ina,
plement, such as is sold in manicure
sets.

WHEAT AND GRAIN.
Senator McCumber Wants Them to
Be Officially Iuspected.

Senator McCumber Of North Dakota is
greatly interested in the enactment of law
that will put the inspection of wheat and
grain under the national government, so
that the national label can be used in the
classification Of wheat in particular.
Under the many systems at present in
use there Is no uniformity In the grading
Of wheat" said Senator McCumber to a
Star representative, land the consequence
is that the producer is often unjustly
treated by the buyers, who enter into a
combination. There ought not to be any
such opportunity for discrimination against
the producer, the government should
grade and inspect the grain.''
Senator McCumber will make every eff
fort possible to get through legislation that
will prevent combination of buyers He
also talked with the President about COM
binations of wheat elevators in the west.
The interstate commerce commission is in
vestigating these alleged combinations, I'M
der the La Toilette resolution. and is ex-
pected to shortly make report. The
expectation is that the evidence will be
sufficient to enable the Department of JUS
tice to bring actions in the courts against
the combinations.

HEARING IS RESUMED
ARGUMENT ON PROPOSED COPY
RIGHT BILL HEARD.

The section of the copyright bill which is
intended to give musical composers a royal
ty for the use of their compositions on
sef-playing pianos and talking machines
Is receiving more discussion before the
joint session of the Senate and House
patent committees than any other portion
OF the measure. It Is understood that ar
guments on all other sections of the bill
have been concluded, although the hear
ings are to continue as long as there are
applicants to be heard.
Argument today opened with a statement
in favor Of the proposed protection to COM
posers by James F. Powers, president of
the Music Publishers, Association; George
w. Furniss and B. F. Wood, both repre-
senting Boston music publishing houses
also favored this section.
The Copyright Of Photographs.
The American Newspaper Publishers AS
ISOLATION, through its committee on COPY
rights. has filed with the Senate and House
committees ON patents protest against the
proposed changes in the law affecting the
copyright OF photographs, and especially
against amendments which in effect In
crease the penalties believed to be already
excessive, for the infringement, uninten-
tional or willful, Of Photographic copyright.
Inc HUDuSnerS Association or New FORK
has filed a similar protest.
The American Newspaper Publishers As
ISOLATION includes in its membership all
the leading newspapers in the country. The
newspapers which use illustrations consider
that the existing law is too severe in its
application to them. not requiring sutfi-
ctent warning of the fact of copyright and
Furnishing too harshly resulting unintention-
al infringements. The proposed amendments
Of the law seem to reduce the requirements
Of warning as to the fact Of copyright and
to increase practically the penalties for
infringement.
The newspaper contention is that Injustice
Is done by giving to the mechanical maker
of kodak snapshot the same protection
that is given to the author of a literary,
artistic or musical composition: by treat
ing the imperfect reproduction or imitation
in a newspaper of a copyrighted photo
graph as causing every copy of the offend
ing issue to become in the eyes of the law
an infringing damage-producing copy of
such photograph. subject to the penalty of
not less than one dollar for every such copy
and to other punishment; and by failing
to recognize that newspaper reprints of
photographs are not such reproductions as
can be substituted in sales for the originals,
and that instead of INJECTING injury by re-
ducing sales they often tend to advertise
and to increase the sales of the original
photographs.

cause he wished to defend himself ana not

continued Mr.. Storer. LAS long as that
man is capable, honest and patriotic, all
may be well, but suppose he was not and
the same amount of power was given into
his hands? What would be the result?"
Mr. Storer showed a letter from Vice
President Roosevelt dated July IL, 1900, In
which the reason for the transfer Of the
Storers from Madrid to Vienna was made
clear
Mrs. Storer had requested the transfer
because of the health of her son, who was
suffering from a pulmonary complaint ana
could not visit her on account Of the ell

In the letter Vice President Roosevelt
stated he would urge the transfer particu-

manner in which he has handled the sit
