TRUST WILL REORGANIzE.
No Trouble in Getting Inside Law Is
Contemplated.

Chicago. May 3o.-Joseph B. Moos, pres
ident of the ]. & B. Moos company, the
principal Chicago defendants last night
said that in his opinion the principal re-
suit of the United States supreme court
decision in the tobacco case will be a
strict definition of exactly what the
Sherman law prohibits and what it
allows.
THAT in reality said Mr.. Moos, 'is
the real bone of contention. AS 1 under
stand the case, and kilograms 1 have re-
ceived today, the decision simply demands
the whole business back to the United
States circuit court in New York that
originally passed on the matter to work
out plan of reorganization in conjunc-
ton with the companies affected.
1--WE will do everything we can possibly
do to help the court reorganize our bust
ness. This will be complicated and ted
ious thing and will require vast amount
of labor. So far there has been nothing
done toward that end. BY that I mean
that we did not make any plans for re-
organization in anticipation of the decis-
ion, as there were so many ways the de-
cision might have been given"

of half dozen women, and four out

| The other two didn't give any reason
just said they'd always wished they'd
been born boys instead of girls.
| Have you ever noticed how often
you hear this sentiment expressed
among women. especially of the
younger generation?
How 1 wish I had been born a
mani"
| Why. to one young woman I've heard
say that she was heartily glad she was
a woman, I've heard ten say they wish
they had been born on the other side

Incidentally, I can't recall that
ever heard a man say he wished he
had been a woman. Car you?
Isn't it queer?
And yet I can't quite condemn the
attitude, because I must confess that
I've been one of the ten sometimes.
But do think there is a good deal
more OH the reverse of the medal than
many of us who envy men their free

merely the shouldering of new and tre-

to be able to seek out the one you love
and WOO her, instead of sitting with
folded hands hoping against hope that

which. like as not, he never will.
But turn the medal over again.
Isn't it wond erfuI to know that the one
who lays his heart at your feet has
chosen you out of all the human be-
| ings he knows to be his mate? The
man can only know that the woman
has chosen him out of the few who
have sought her, not out CT all. There
| is one joy in having the right to choose
out of all the world, but there is an
other joy in being chosen out of all the
world.
These are but two ways in which the
medal you thought had only one side
lean be turned over.
Doubtless you can find others for
yourself.
