jurisdiction. While officials at Wash
ington are divided on this point, the
view held by many is that the recent
decision Of the United States supreme
court in the Hartman case further
complexities the situation.
Some express the belief that the de-
cision will prove farreaching in its
effects; that it not only seriously cur
tails the power Of the interstate COM
n.erce commission to make inquiries
such as were made in the case Of the
Hartman lines, but that 1t places a
limitation on the power Of the commits
sioner Of corporations in his relations
with Industrial corporations. This diff
ference, it is held, merely emphasizes
the necessity for such changes In the
law as will clearly define the powers
Of the interstate commerce commission,
the bureau of corporations and the de-
partment Of justice in their relations
to corporations doing an Interstate
business

MEMS CLOTHES.
Not What They Used to Be In the
Days of Elizabeth.


Most men nowadays do not get
much pleasure from dress and scarce
ly notice the changes of fashion in
mems clothes. They are vaguely
aware that hat looks odd when its
shape is old fashioned, and they ac-
cept the hat Of the moment because
they do not wish to look odd them
selves. But this is a merely negative
interest. They are also apt to be con-
temptuous Of women's greater inter-
est in the fashions, as If it were a
mark of frivolity.
This, Is an ignorant mistake. Dress
is or ought to be an art, and therefore,
If only a minor art, it is Il more seri-
Gus matter than any of the games to
which many men give so much time
and pains. Besides. men have only be-
come Indifferent to their clothes in
modern times.
In the heroic age of Elizabeth they
made themselves as smart as pea
cocks. Great soldiers and poets then
took pains to be in the height Of the
fashion, and fashions changed with
some violence and rapidity. In the
eighteenth century, too, which we do
not think of as a time of effeminacy
In enterprise nor In seriousness, they
were as splendid and extravagant in
their dress as women.-LOndon Times.

WONDERS OF VELOCITY.
A Piece of Thin Cardboard Will Cut
THROUGH Wood

Velocity has a great deal to do
with one substances ability to break
through another, and it is remarkable
what can be accomplished by COM
paratively soft substance against a
much harder one when the former is
given enough velocity. A bullet made
Of 4 tallow candle would smash fiat if
fired against board from a toy gun,
but when shot from an army rifle it
Will so right through the board. A
stream of water has been known to
have such swiftness Of movement that
sword was broken in two when a
strong man tried to cut it through.
Cyclones have been known to drive
such frail projectiles as straws well
into tree.
An interesting experiment showing
what n soft substance can do may be
performed by attaching bristol
board disk to the motor Of an electric
fan and setting it to revolving at the
fans usual rate If a piece of wood
such as lead pencil, for example, be
carefully applied to the edge of the
revolving disk, the wood will very
readily be cut through OF course If
the disk were to revo,ve slowly the
wood would soon blunt its edge.--Path-
finder.

my son was for years troubled with
his eyes. He tried several kinds of
glasses without relief. The optician
said there was defect in his eyes
which was hard to reach.
'He used to drink coffee. as we all
did, and finally quit it and began to
use Postum. That was three years
