Insist on an AntI-InJ Junction bill.


WASHINGTON, May 1l-President Roose-
welt will not insist upon the passage OF an
anti-injunction bill or a bill amending the
Sherman antitrust act, according TO state
ments made at the Capitol to-day after

at the White House. A few weeks ago Mr..

leaders that he would insist upon the pas
sage Of an anti-injunotion bill at this ses-
sion, and he also urged that action be taken
on a measure amending the antitrust law,

TO frame bills that would be satisfactory
to the majority Of the Republicans.
After conferences with a number Of public
men, including Solicitor General Hoyt OF
the Department Of Justice, Mr.. Townsend
concluded that the task he had cut out for
the House was one that could not be under
taken unless Congress was disposed to
remain in session all summer. MIR. Town

tions in the way Of the passage OF an anti
injunction bill and the constitutional OBJ
staces that obstructed the Civic Federation
bill or any other bill amendatory Of the

ministration will make no further ehort
to induce Congress TO pass laws on these
subjects at this session.

Great scientist though he was, the

the five to a three. On another occa-
sion he said, "Seven times nine. Mr.

How he nearly lost his life through
his devotion to science was told by
Lord Kelvin himself in the house Of
lords some years ago. He was en-
gagged In testing certain chemical in
gradients which could be safely mixed
together in particular proportions. but

Pie In Enuland,

Pie came to the fore In England
many centuries ago. 1t originated In
the form Of mince pie and was used in
the celebration of Christmas. In its
primitive stage it was baked in deep
sided dish. lined and covered with
rolled out dough. The filling was of
forcemeats. richly sweetened and
spiced. This splicing and favoring
stood for the presents which the wise
men bore to the Christ in the manger
For years and years this custom Of
having the Christmas mince pie pre-
vailed. but finally it was denounced far
and wide by the Puritans as form Of
idolatry, and the government after par
Lament had suppressed the celebration
of the birth of Christ took steps to stop
the baking and eating Of the mince pie.
Eventually saner reasoning led to the
taking off Of the ban. and the pie eat
ing custom was renewed. - London
