Wilson's Views on
Trust Legislation
WILL BE SOUGHT THIS WEEK
BY CONGRESSIONAL
LEADERS.
Expect Currency Bill TO Pass by
December 20-FloOd of Legis-
latiOn Turned Loose.

WASHINGTON. Dec. President
Wilson's views on trust legislation are
to be sought this week by congress
sional leaders upon whom will fall the
task OF mapping out the antitrust pro-
gram for legislation action. The last
week has developed a pronounced
view among Democratic members OF
the senate that the antitrust acts OF
the present session Of congress should
be few. and should effect only the
more obviously needed reforms in the
field OF combination and corporation
activity.
While the president has announced
his purpose to send n special trust
message to congress in the near fu-
ture. the scope of the communication
has not yet been outlined.
The demands OF Democratic leaders
during the last week. for speedy ac-
tion on the pending currency reform
bill. have had a marked effect on the
senate. Confident predictions are
now made that the bill will pass that
body before December 20: and that
an adjustment Of differences between
senate and house can be reached
shortly after that time.
Republican members have made g
clear they do not want to be charged
with delay of currency reform, and
will not use obstructing tactics TO Of
feet the changes they would like 10
see made I'm the bill.
Flood Of Legislation.
General legislation which had been
held in restraint throughout the spe.
cial session. broke over the barriers
last week and is flooding every chan
mel OF congressional action. The
house has before It during the com
ing week Alaskan railroad legislation.
Thomas naval holiday resolution. i'm
migration regulation. high cost OF liv-
Ing Investigations. the lobby commit
tees report and numerous other mat
ters OF compelling interest TO that
body. II is the hope OF house lead
ers now that the senate viii be abls
10 complete the currency bill so that
a two weeks recess can be taken for
the holiday season.

officers and 1.267 regular coast artil

ARE YOU LIKE THIS GIRL7
By Beatrice Fairfax.


He s in love with you-and you know
it, but he won't say so--and what are
you going to do about it9
Now, ho win the world do you know
he is in love with you9
What has he done to make you thinl;
so2
Told you he liked the color of your
eyes, bought you bunch of violets ID
day when he happened to feel generous
and wanted to see what you d say
when he gave them to you, tried to get
him to let him kiss you-fudge-not a
thing in the world little girl-and the
sooner you make up your mind that re
man is going to die Of love for you with.
out ever making single moan the ber,
ter off you IL be.
Probably the young man you thin;
is so dead in love with you is sorry
for you
He sees that you are weaving some
sort of impossible romance with him
as hero, and he doesn' t know what
to do about it. He is doubtless asking
his chumb how to act to keep you from
throwing yourself into his arms.
Sounds cruel doesn't it, and unsym
pathetic'
Well, my dear little girl, am afraid
it is very unsympathetic indeed,
All the love making is not done by
the men in these days.
l know myself three different men
at this very moment who are almost
crazy to escape girls who are deter
mined to pursue them or any other
man to the ends of the earth-iust
to have the excitement of some soyt
of love affair.
You are not in love with this young
man, little sister, you just want him tC
be in love with you-and that ism 7 fai'
and it ism 7 safe.
Love is an edged tool, and oh, how
deep it cuts in careless hands,
Half the poor girls who throw them
selves into the river are driven to that
terrible step because they ran after
some man who was really trying in the
half.dumb masculine fashion, to be a,
decent as they would let him be.
Men are not all brutes and not al
fools, Some Of them try very hard &c
bo straight with the girls they know,
Be one of the girls who help the
men you know to be decent-that's $ d
sweet, sensible, nice little sister
When man falls in love with yoi
he II tell you Of it--never fear,
And until he does--don 7 worry about
the volcanic state of his feelings.
