ing President Wilson today. Because
Of his illness he was unable to con-

Newlands had planned to suggest
the ACCESSIBILITY of creating a federal
trade board. modelled on the lines of
the Interstate commerce commission
to interpret and enforce the antitrust
laws. The president has been said by
many to favor this plan.
Interest In the proposed trust pro-

Hayes Hammond at the federation
meeting here today. Discussing the
Sherman law, Hammond said: "Un-
fortunately 1t has been invoked too
frequently in recent years to punish
the offenders rather than to prevent
the offenss. It's application has been
destructive rather than useful and
constructive. I favor maintaining the
basic power Of the Sherman law

lieve there is any need Of a law to
supersede the Sherman act, but 1t
does need further definition and am

Hammond said he believed certain
classes of corporations doing inter
state business should be compelled to
incorporate under a federal incorpor-
alton law having as one OF it's func-
tions, the power to determine the
amount Of capitalization of Industrial
corporations.

Treating a New Rope.

A new rope, particularly if it be sisal,
often causes trouble because of its
stiffness. If used as hayfork rope or
in any place where it runs through a
set of pulleys it is apt to be trouble
some until it has been used for some
time. This trouble may be avoided by
boiling the rope in water. The plan
usually used is to coil the rope in a
boiler or large soap kettle and cover
with water and bring to boiling heat.
The rope is then stretched out and al
lowed to dry. when it will be found to
be soft and pliable. Manila rope is
usually soft enough to use without
such treatment-J. NJ. Drew, Univer-
sity of Minnesota.
