raerce Commission.
Washington, June 21.-A case Just
brought before the interstate com,
merce commission involving the for.
eign carrying trade of the United
States IS accepted as being the fore
runner of legislation by congress ex.
tending the scope Of control Of com
merce to the foreign commerce OF the
country.
The case is brought by the Cosmo-
polltan Shipping company of Philadel-
phia, charging a combination between
the Hamburg-American and several
other foreign shipping lines to control
the traffic between European countries
and inland points in the United States.
The charge is made that shippers are
coerced into employing these lines by
contractual arrangement between the
foreign steamship lines.
According to the complaint on
which action was taken by the COM
mission the Hamburg-American Packet
company has built UP complete mo-
nopoly of the eastbound traffic orig

did you ever think" said an old
printer, "that we really notice only the
upper halves of the letters? The lower
halves are in many cases only the
stems, the remainders Of ornamental
fourishes which have been gradually
reduced in size and length and are now
meaningless. Take, for instance, the
heading Of a paper. Cover up with
blank sheet the lower half Of the let
tiers, and even if you did not know
what they were you would have no diff
ficulty in reading the words. Now, re-
verse the process and cover the upper
half, and if you did not know the words
it would be impossible to make out the
letters. This fact is even more plainly
seen in the case Of the Roman letters
used for headlines. An L might be
mistaken for an I, but nearly all the
other letters are so plainly indicated
by the shape Of the upper half that the
lines may be read without difficulty
