ARC TRANSMISSION
SUPERIORITY SHOWN

WASHINGTON. April 16.--The ex-
tensive experiments in radio com

giant wireless station at Arlington.
Va, and the scout cruiser, Salem
have demonstrated the superior eff
cheney of transmission by means of an
electric arc instead of through the
usual spark II was found by naval
wireless experts that at ranges above
1000 miles the continuous or "un-
damped" oscillation from the arc is
much more efficient than the waves
from the spark,
Al ranges of two thousand miles
this increased efficiency is four times
that of the spark wave. Previously
II has been claimed both in the United
States and abroad that the radiation
was the same from both methods. The
navy investigators find this To hold

IT Is CRUEL TO FORCE NAUSEAT-

SICK CHILD.

Look back at your childhood days.
Remember the dose mother insisted
on - castor oil, calomel, c~athartics.
How you hated Them, how you fought
against taking them.
With our children it's different.
Mothers who cling to the old form of
physic simply don't realize what they
do. The children's revolt Is we'll
founded, Their tender little "insides'
are injured by them.
If your child's stomach, liver and
bowels need cleansing, give only deli
cious "California Syrup Of Figs" It's
action is positive, but gentle. Millions
of mothers keep this harmless fruit
laxative handy; they know children
love to take it; that it never fails to
clean the liver and bowels and sweeten
the stomach, and that a ~teaspoonful
given today saves a sick child to-
morrow.
Ask your druggist for a 50-cent bot
tie of california Syrup of Figs"
which has full directions for babies,
children of all ages and for grown-ups
plainly on each bottle. Beware of
counterfeits sold here. See that is is

careful examination, I have come to the
conclusion that chapter 287, laws of
1913, is constitutional.
"2. To violate the provisions of this
act, some person, firm or corporation
doing business in two or more sections
or communities in this state, dealing
in q commodity in general use must:
(a) Pay a higher price or charge a
lower price for like commodities in
one section or community than is paid
by such person, firm or corporation in
another section or community, allow
ing the difference, if any, in cost Of
transportation.
CD And the paying Of such higher,
or selling at such lower price must b9
with the intent to create a monopoly
or destroy the business Of a competi-
tor or to prevent competition. In
other words, the gist of the offense. is
the intent with which the prohibited
acts, are done, but this intent may be
shown by acts of the defendant and
| other circumstances surrounding the
transaction.
"3. The paying of a higher price, or
charging Of a lower price by any per-
son, firm or corporation doing bust
ness at two or more points within this
state for any commodity in general
use at n point than is paid by such
person, firm or corporation at another,

cost Of transportation, If any, in the
absence Of explanatory circumstances
negativiting such Intent, constitutes
in my judgment, strong evidence tend
ing to show a guilty intent by such
person, firm or corporation, to violate
the provisions OF the statue under
consideration. But the circumstance
surrounding the act of paying a high.
er price at one point than at another
in this state, after allowing for the
difference in cost in transportation, II
any, may be such as to negative ar
intent to create a monopoly or destroy
the business of a competitor or pre-.
vent competition. .
To illustrate:
A line elevator company doing bust
ness at two or more points in this
state has, as a competitor at one point
an independent buyer or a farmers
elevator company. The, Independent
buyer. or farmers elevator company
as the aggressor, Voluntarily puts the
p, price on grains above the legitimat,
market price at that point. In m,
opinion the line elevator compan.
would have a right, for the purpose O.
meeting competition at hat point, tt
follow and pay a price equal to thu
price paid by the independent buyer o.
farmers elevator company at tina
point. without being required to pa.
a like price at other points. For il
such cases the raise in the price by tn
line elevator at its point of competi
ton with the Independent buyer O
farmers elevator company, would b.
for the purpose only of meeting 1T
competition at that point and not witt
any intent to either destroy the bust
ness of a competitor or prevent com
petition.
