SAYS JUDGES ANNUL STATUTES
Favors industrial Consolidation Un-
der Regulation by the Federal
Government.

Washington. Dec. IAN attack up-
on "court made law" as he character
ICED it, was made before the Senate
committee on interstate commerce., by
Prof. James A. Gray, Of the depart
ment Of political economy, University
of Minnesota. The Senate committee
is making an inquiry to determine
what changes. if any, should be made
in the laws governing corporations To-
ing business between the states. Prof.
Gray was invited to appear by Senator
Clapp, chairman of the committee.
Prof. Gray startled the committee
with the statement that the power Of
interpreting the laws should be in
trusted to an administrative body, and
that the ourts for all practical pur-
poses should content themselves with
the enforcement of law.
Courts Set Aside Laws.
At one stage in Prof. Gray's tcsti-
mony Senator Cummins, of Iowa, OBJ
served:
You seem to assume that the courts
have deliberately set aside or changed
the laws
Il do not think any man can doubt
that" responded Prof. Gray cmphat-
ically.
Prof. Gray questioned the effective
ness Of any antitrust legislation as
long as the courts exercise their pres
ont broad powers of interpretation.
lie took the position that the courts
had infringed upon the national legis-
!ature, as we'll as upon the executive
branch of the government.
II think the situation is hopeless,'
he said, "as long as the courts con-
tinue to administer the law by en-
forcement. We either must have a
constitutional amendment limiting the
powers of the courts Or get a new in
terpretation from the courts as to their
powers. Taken all in all, I think the
courts nave been marvelously free
from corruption"
Favors Consolidation.
Prof. Gray said that he favored con
solidation in industry. Such a system
saved waste and and effected econo-
mics that Injured to the advantage OF
the consumer and the public generally
"Ours is the only country in the
world" he said, that has undertaken

SEVENTH VANDERBILT CUP
RACE is RUN OFF ON SA.
VANNAH COURSE.
RALPH OEPAlMA WINS SECOND
New Record Created, the POP Miles
Being Run at Average Speed
Of 74.63 Miles Per.
Hour.

Savannah. Nov. 29.-As lie flashed
by the judges stand at the finish OF
the seventh Vanderbilt cup race. the
American automobile world hailed
Ralph X. milford. driver Of a Lo'
zier car. as a new champion.
Not only had milford broken previ-
Gus Vanderbilt records. he also had
surpassed the Santa Monica perfor-
nance of Harvey Herrick. in cover
ing 202 miles at an average OF 4.63
miles an hour. At hat he was pushed
to win the nerve-racking 292-mile CON
test by Ralph De Palma. the brilliant
driver OF a French Mercedes. De
Palma finished just a little more
than two minutes behind the winner
and eight minutes in advance OF the
other Mercedes entrant, driven by
Wishart, who finished third.
Only six of the IA cars that start
ed finished. Bob Burman and David
~Bruce-Brown, winner Of last years
grand prize race, were among those
forced to drop out through the defec-
ton of their machines.
The race was run without the ac-
ton of the usual toll Of human life.
Among numerous accidents which be-
fell contestants to the detriment OF
their chances to possess the coveted
trophy, only one imperiled life and
limb. A rear wheel on Bruce
Browns Fiat car flew off after a turn
had beer taken at slow speed. Bruce
Brown and his mechanician escaped
unhurt.
Burman Has Hard Luck.
Bob Burnan was the victim Of hard
luck. He had just driven his Marmon
around the seventh lap in record
time, one minute and a half behind
milford, the leader, when a loose
stone struck the gasoline tank con-
uection and broke it. Burman aban'
doned the race Joe Cyrus Patche,
driver OF the other MarmOn entry
also was running a good race when
an air pump ave way on the ninth
lap and forced him out of h con
test. Joe Matson took his Fiat back
to camp when a leaky adlat
threatened the destruction of his en-
CINE by fire.

ouicksand.

ouicksand.
Quicksand differs from beach and
other sand in that the individual
grains have become worn by water
or wind until the normal facets and
angles have been abraded and each
grain has become more or less spher-
ical. The coef3cient Of friction is thus
reduced to the minimum and the bed
does not pack when dry and when wet
behaves like fluid. The depth Of
quicksand is conditioned by the depth
Of the hardpan or other compact ma
terial upon which the sand rests. In
building operations on the lower end
Of Manhattan island quicksands are
encountered more than 100 feet in
depth. Near Pueblo, Colo, in 1875, a
train was drawn by a derailed loco
motive into a quicksand and was swal-
lowed up beyond discovery, although
probed for to a depth Of fifty feet.
In certain smaller littoral quicksands,
bodies which have been engulfed are
in time brought to the surface at the
edge Of the shivering sands. This is
due to the structure of the containing
bowl Of rock which permits q sluggish
circulatory movement Of the plastic
mass.

GRAY HAIR MAKES
YOU LOOK OLD
A Simple Remedy Brings Back
the Natural Co|or-Dandruff
Quickly Removed,

How often one hears the expression.
'Shc is gray and beginning to look old"
1t is true that gray hair usually denotes
age and is always associated with age.
You never hear one referred to as hav-
ing gray hair and looking young.
The hair is generally the index of age.
If your hair is gray. you can't blame
your friends for referring to you as look
ing old. You can't retain youthful
appearance if you allow your hair to
grow gray. Many persons Of middle
age jeopar'lize their future simply by
allowing the gray hair to become mani
fest. If your hair has become faded or
gray. try Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Hair Remedy. a preparation which a
chemist by the name of Wyeth devised
few years ago. 1t is simple, mex
pensive and practical, and will Danish
the gray hairs in a few days. 1t is also
guaranteed to remove dandruff and pro-
mote the growth of the hair.
1t is a pleasant dressing for the hair.
and after using it few days itching and
dryness of the scalp entirely disappear.
Don't neglect your hair. Start using
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur to-day, and
you will be surprised at the quick
results.
This preparation is offered to the
public at fifty cents bottle, and is
recommended and sold by all druggists.

EFFECTS Of THE
MOROCCAN ISSUE.
Germany Said to be in Serious Finan-

up Expected.

London, Sept. II. No notion OF the
real seriousness of Germany's financial
straits has cen given in any OF tie
strictly censored reports hitherto sent
out from Berlin. according to con-
tidential advices received by financial
houses here today.
The TACT is, these messages say that
The situation is little short Of desperate,
and very much longer continuation
OF the strain in Frapco-Gcrman rela-
tions will mean such business shake
up as the fatherland has never known.
Commercial men are thoroughly sick
OF the entire Moroccan affair, which
they regard as purely political.
Berlin, Sept. 14.-The German for
eign office today anxiously awaited the
climax Of the Franco German situation
which will be reached with the arrival
OF the French Courier who left Paris
last light with the Gallic standpat Reply
TO the German Moroccan propofals.
The Courier is due here late today.
The Bourse here, shaky for weeks, has
settled in depression that will result
in a general decline ip prices. The
french reply is supposed to be memo
randum of instructions for the French
Minister, NJ. Jules Cambou, ordering
him TO adhere strictly to the basic rrin
ciples OF Frances first proposal.

italy and TripOli.

Constantinople. Sept 14.-Turkish
oflicialdom is much perturbed today
by information that Italy has an army
ready to occupy and enforce protec.
torale over the Ottoman province Of
Tripoli. Though Turkish control Of
the country has long been merely nom
inal, its formal seizure by foreign
power would be very damaging to the
prestige OF the young Turk govern
ment. 1t is believed that Italy
has been promised German support in
effecting the grab, in return for its
own pledge to support the kaiser in the
event OF Franco-German hostilities.
Turkeys only hope is that England
may come to its assistance rather than
see Tripoli pass, even indirectly, under
German influence.
