TO RESUME HEARING
IN ANTITRUST CASE

Boston, Mass, Dec. THE case of
the United States against the United
Shoe Machinery Company for alleged
violation of the Sherman antitrust
law will be reopened before the full
bench of the United States court
tomorrow, unless a further postpone
ment is agreed upon by counsel, The
case was suspended late in June and
transferred to special examiner for
the purpose of hearing testimony on
patents. The hearings before the ex-
aminer have occupied nearly all of
the summer and autumn, and it is
predicted that the hearings before
the full bench will consume another
two or three months. The case is
one of the most important of the an
thrust prosecutions begun during the
last year of the Taft administration

keepina Nails Attractive.

In nowise Is neglect OF the person
so readily apparent as in badly kept
nails. Neither can the manicure alone
be held responsible for their care On
the contrary, If woman desires she
can dispense with the manicurist's
services, save perhaps once or twice
month, and still have nice nails. Nails
grow rapidly and respond readily to
treatment
If they are III shaped give them
almond shaped tips that are most at
tractive by shaping them carefully
with the little sandboards. Use fine
pumice powder to subdue the rough.
ness or to reduce the little ridges that
sometimes appear, and employ the
scissors as sparingly as possible. Use
them not at all upon the nails them
selves, but merely for clipping the rag
ged edges of the cuticle around the
base Of the nail. Push back the scurf
skin to show the coveted half moons
with the aid Of the orange wood stick.
To make white spots on the nails dis
appear, spread over them Mt night n

OIL A bruised nail should be plunged
into hot water and held there for tif-
teen or twenty minutes.
Many of the vaunted powders and
rouges cause the nails to become brit

ing. so as far as 1t is possible 1t is
wise to avoid these
Plain petroleum jelly or olive oil will
answer every purpose Of the pomade,
and, as for rouge, 1t is not in good
taste to tint the nails very deeply, and
IL they are healthy and their possessor

be pink enough without the aid Of the

There Is no harm. however. In apply

DIFFERENCE IN FINANCING

A terrible affiiction seems to have
come to Republicans, especially those
who want to get back to the public
payroll If they look at the daylight
they see darkness, when they look at
the $5,600,000 state treasury balance
which the Democratic state admins
gtration has built up without calling on
the individual taxpayers for a cent or
increasing the corporation taxes which
provide revenue for the state, they
think they see a deficit. Nevertheless,
State Treasurer Brennan has all but
a few thousand dollars needed for cur
rent expenses of that balance deposit
ed in banks and building and loan as
sociations throughout the state. 1t Is
drawing the highest rate of interest
ever received. The increment in 1913
was S211, 50029-sufiicient to pay the
operating expenses of several state de-
partments. Under former Republican
regimes, the interest earning went to
enrich state treasurers and favored
banks.
In a desperate but futile attempt to
: answer the report of State Treasurer
Bennan for 1913, which shows Ohio to
be enjoying unprecedented prosperity
under the State Democratic admins.
tration, the Republican press Is quot
ing figures showing the increase in ex-
penditures in behalf of the state gov
& ernment in the last 10 years.
If Governor Cox were to permit
heads of departments and institutions
to keep their own accounts in private
banks and make expenditures indie
pendent of the state treasury and aud
itor's department, the expenses in the
regular reports OF the treasury and au-
ditor's department would not be SO
3 large. That was the case during the
years of alleged low expenditures quot
ed in the Republican press and 1t
proved profitable for certain individu.
ais and Improbable for the state.
The policy of the present state ad
ministration has been to make the
state auditors Office the clearing house
for all transactions, and that is simply
good business.

this aged look. The fat muscles OF the

are pulled down. and the result is a
haggard, unhealthful look

REVISED OWEN BILL
BEFORE THE SENATE
Guarantees Deposits and Calls
For Seven on Reserve Board.

Washington, Dec. IA revised
edition of the owen currency bill
bearing the stamp Of approval OF the
senate Democratic caucus was sub
mitted to the senate today. The
Democratic leaders worked all of
Sunday. The bill now provides that
after the expenses Of conducting the
regional associations has been met
and per cent dividends paid to the
shareholders, that surplus of 40 per
cent of the capital stock of the re-
gional reserve associations shall be
accumulated, following which any
surplus profits are to be divided into
two equal parts, one to go to the gov
ernment as franchise tax and the
other to go into fund to guarantee
depositors In member banks that
make up the regional reserve asso-
citation. The number of members of
the federal reserve board was fixed
at seven. The number of regional
banks will be left to the discretion Of
the federal reserve board, which may
establish any number from eight to
twelve.
Probably the most important work
of the caucus was the adoption of an
entirely new refunding plan to retire
the per cent bonds now held mostly
as basis for national bank notes,
Secretary McAdoo offered some sug.
gestions to the committee, which
were adopted with slight modifica-
tions.

DANIELS WOULD BUILD
ARMOR PLATE FACTORY
Suggests Uncle Sam Take Initla-
tive In Armament Reduction.

Washington, Dec. I. - Josephus
Daniels, secretary of the navy, has
made public his first annual report,
one of the chief features of which is
the announcement of his building
program" for the navy and his rec
ommendation OF the authorization by
the present congress of the construc.
ton of two dreadnoughts, eight de.
stroyers and three submarines. He
admits that it will be observed that
this is not large program, but says
that "it is a progressive one" and
meets the demands to go forward in
the continuation Of IAN adequate and
well-proportioned navy"
AS to the reduction In armament,
the report says: 81 trust that this
country will take the initiative and
that steps will be taken by a confer.
ence of all the powers to discuss re.
reduction of the heavy cost Of the
army and navy"
Secretary Daniels says that "the
time has come when the department
should be freed from excessive prices
charged by private manufacturers of
armor plate, guns and gun forgings,
powder, torpedoes and other supplies
and munitions" and recommends
that appropriations be made for a
government armor plate factory and
an increase in the gun factory, the
powder factory and the torpedo
works. Mr.. Daniels expresses the
belief that the government can make
armor plate much cheaper than 1t
can buy 1t.
