Them as he could reach the new laws
OF the state legislature affecting them.
one the sanitary law and the other

Under the new sanitary law. ALREADY
IN eject, the chief requirement is that
articles OF food Of every description
must be protected with a dust proof
cover. This means no more displays
OF berries and fresh vegetables on the
sidewalk In front of the stores pre-
senting such an inviting appearance.
Articles displayed outside must be on
stands at least two feet above the
sidewalk and the display Of meat out
side Is absolutely prohibited.
The provision that dust cloth coy
ers must be used means that all dis
plays OF goods in the store not IN
cases will have to be covered with a
cloth that will keep the objects from
the vision Of the purchaser. The law
also provides that stores must be
properly screened and ventilated. A
license OF three dollars year must
be procured from the state commits
sioner by bakeries, meat markets anc
slaughter-houses and the state com
missioner has right to revoke any
license.
| Mr.. Flynn stated that this law orig
mated with number of prominen
merchants and that all Of the bes
merchants would be glad to observe
1t. Prosecutions for violations vii
not begin for few weeks until the
merchants have had an opportunity 0
familiarizing themselves with the Law

provision that the dry measure mus
be abolished and that everything sol
In bulk must be weighed. peck q

fusion. This law Is in effect now wit
the exception Of provision whic
goes into effect October |. This la
| ter relates to berries which canno
be sold by the box but by the PIN

New York. Dec. 12-Maintenancs Of the
Sherman antitrust law and Federal con-
trol OF corporations was advocated today
by John Hays Hammond. capitalist and
mining magnate. before the National
Civic Federation. Mr.. Hammond, who
spoke on the subject. .'shouid the sher-
man Antitrust Law Be Amended" said:
ITO remedy the potential evils OF trusts
the Federal antitrust law-the Sherman
act-was passed in 1850. but until the
last few years II has been in q state OF
innocuous desuetude.
Unfortunately Il has been invoked
too frequently in recent years 70 punish
the offenders rather than to prevent the
offense. Its application has been de-
structiye, rather than conservative and
constructive.
Il favor maintaining the basic prin-
ciple OF the Sherman antitrust law until
new. substantive law shall be enacted
to protect the interests Of the public
against possible aggression on the part
OF the trusts

the government should sanction busi-
ness amalgamation agreements he called
them). and said that independent coal
operators through the South and Middle
West were losing money through compe-

BRYAN Is NOT AWARE
OF OIL LANDS PROTEST

Secretary Bryan said that SO far as he
knew, Minister Hale, at San Jose, Costa
Rica. had made nc representations to the
Costa Rican government regarding a
contract for exploitation of oil lands
made by that government with the Pear
son firm, of London. This is the. Cowdray
firm. which has large oil concessions in
Mexico, and was seeking similar conces-
sions in Colombia and Ecuador.
According to reports published yester-
day, the ratification of the contract was
prevented through the influence Of the
United States. acting through Minister
Hale. In other sources, however, it was
stated that the congress OF Costa Rica
is opposed TO the granting Of monopolistic
concessions of any character. and that
for that reason the contract with the
Pearson company could not well be rati-
ned.

dulge in the fascinating steps of certain

consequently they have been penaliZed by

Not only must they abstain from all
social privileges until the Christmas holi-
days, but they dare not leave the campus.
The dance at which they offended took
place last Saturday night 1t was given
by one OF the fraternities in the wom-
ans Club at Swarthmore.

lowing resolution:
Resolved. That we do not countenance

and Boston at any dances where the
