As foretold in our last issue, the
Kangaroos vindicated their good
name and maintained their enviable
position as the banner squad by
winning the drill prize for the third
consecutive time, feat, by the way,
which has never before be n
equalled hereabouts. They have
thus established a record for efficien-
cy in drilling which is the envy and
admiration of all their rivals, and
they are now content to rest on
their laurels, secure in the knowl-
edge of their supremacy. The Kan
garoos did not accomplish this feat
because they coveted the prize it,

 Unfair competition, the sale of in feriOr lamps to customers of inde- pendent companies at greatly reduced prices. and sales of lamps under false brands are other Offenses charged.
 Although it was the intention of the department Of justice not to file any further antitrust actions until the Standard Oil and Tobacco cases had been decided in the supreme court. the electrical case is exceptional as it involves questions of the patent laws.
