FOR UNIFORM LAWS.

The legal condition of the country
which permit law such as the work
men S compensation or eight-ho day
statutes to be proper in one state and
unconstitutional in another must APP
peal to observers from foreign lands
as being particularly ridiculous and as
much so as many honored European
institutions seem to US. There certain
ly is need Of achievement of success
10y the commissioners on uniform laws,
a body of men working to change state
laws in such a manner that what is
a crime in one state may not be per
fectly legal few miles distant over
an imaginary line.
Many organizations are coming to
recognize the absurditv of the existing
condition and the crying need for a
change. The General Contractors
association, whose membership covers
most of the large cities of the land
has found that a uniform workmen s
compensation law would be better than
various laws existing now in different
states and would be better even than
the conditions of states where no com
pensation law has been provided.
Uniform state laws as to practice of
medicine are needed, say members of
the federation of state medical boards,
| The demand for uniform marriage and
divorce laws has long cried out for
recognition.
The chief obstacle in the way of the
achievement of these uniform laws is
the fear that the rights of some state
viii be encroached upon by the fed
Grated states as whole. There are
interests that thrive through the abil
| ity to do in one state what they are
forbidden to do in another and they
naturally are opposed to uniform laws
1t would probably be found that just
such interests are really behind much
of the cry of state s rights and al
arguments against the making of sim
liar laws for every state in the Union

LINED FACES.
They Are often Due to Thoughtless
Childish Grimaces.

Childish Grimaces.
The wrinkles on many middle aged
faces could be traced to establish grim
aces. Every one hears mach of smil-
ing eyes. Probably they owe much OF
their. popularity to the fact that they
do not produce wrinkles. The smile
which creases the face into dozens of
fine lines does produce wrinkles. Grim
aces are in the same class with this
face lining smile. They should be dis
couraged.
Many children, too, perform little
tricks with various parts of the body
which result in awkward or ungrace-
full habits which are later hard to over
come For instance. the double jointed
child who can bend his thumbs and
fingers in all directions often does so,
to the admiring wonder of his play
mates. until his knuckles are enlarged
and misshapen.
The small boy that can swing from
his arms IS sometimes cheered, even
by his elders, into dislocating a shout
der. The little girl whose parents
smile at her when she walks pigeon
toed sometimes does so until she has
formed habit of walking with her
toes turned in.
Far be it from any one to discoura sc
childish play. Gymnastics and all sorts
of bodily exercise, If properly directed,
lead to agility and strength. But chill
dren should be discouraged from in
dulging in grimaces and trick"
which viii in time distort their feat
ures and bodies.

Crescents on the Nails.

The little white crescents at the base
of the finger nails can often be devel-
oped by daily soaking the fingers in
warm, soapy water and gently press
ing the soft cuticle with an orange
wood stick Trim off any rough par
hcles Of cuticle, but do not cut any
oftener than is really necessary. BY

HOME HINTS.

When curtains are hung up to
dry they should be hung double
over the line.
Pillow cases should be ironed
lengthwise and not crosswise.
a veil can be made crisp if
dipped in alcohol and hung up to
dry.
Tablecloths should be slightly
starched. They keep clean long
er and look better.
Cotton sheets are more econom-
zeal than linen; they last longer
and are much more healthful.

is probably the rarest aims dish to be

famous bell there was entirely de-
stroyed some years ago.

PATENTS LOSE STRANGLE HOLD
Supreme Court Decides that Patentee
Cannot Control Retail Price Of
His Commodity.

Washington.-The so-called patent
monopoly" which threatened to pre-.
vent cut rates by retailers in all pat.
ented articles on the market, was de-
stroyed by decision Of the supreme
court Of the United States.
The court held that the owners of
patents are not given the right by the
patent law to control the price at
which retailers must sell to the con-
sumer. The decision applied only to
the nerve tonic, for which a patent
had been issued, but will control all
patented articles being sold under re-
strictions not to resell at cut rates.
The court reversed the policy adopt
ed in the famous "mimeograph" case,
decided little over a year ago. when
only seven justices were on the bench,
but allowed that case to stand as far
as it goes Thus was accomplished
what has been unsuccessfully sought
in congress ever since the "mimeo-
graph case" was decided.
In the "mimeograph case" Justices
McKenna Lurton, Holmes and Van
deventer upheld the right of patent
owners to place restrictions on the
nature Of articles to be used on the
patented articles sold. Chief Justice
White and Justices Hughes and Lamar
dissented In this decision Justice
Day, who was absent a year ago from
the court, and Justice Pitney, appoint
ed since then, joined with the chief
justice and Justices Hughes and La
mar in overruling the policy advocated
by the four justices who handed down
the courts decision in the "mimeo-
graph case"
Justice Day announced the decision
of the majority members. The four
minority justices contented them
selves with a mere statement that they
dissented. Justice Day said the man
ufacturers relied chiefly on the min.
eograph case" An examination of the
opinion of the court in that case, he
said, showed that the restriction was
restrained because the machine was
sold at cost or less and that the owner
depended on the profit realized from
the sale Of unpatented supplies to be
used upon the machine for reward for
his invention. No such condition ex-
listed, he added, in the present case.

SCOTCH VERDICT MOT PROVEN
Editor Newett Admits He Could Not
Prove EH-Presldent Was Drunk
and Claim for Damages 10
Promptly Waived.

Marquette, Mlch.--TheOdOre ROose-
welt won his libel suit against George
A. Ncwett, who charged the colonel
with drunkenness, and having waived
damages after the defendant had Ut
tered rctraction, the jury awarded
nominal damages Of six cents. Each
party to the suit will have to pay his
own expenses
When the defense opened, Mr. New
cit took the stand and read a state
mcnt I'm which he said the stories Of
Roosevelt's boozing we're in general
circulation but that he could not ind
a man who was willing to swear to
II and enable him to prove his state
ment.
The libel was published in good
faith, Newett said in the belief that Il
was true and proper information. That
1t was true, the defendant said he
believed until the trial opened.
No demand for a retraction ever
had been made, he stated, and when
the bill was filed against him there
was nothing left for him to do but
make preparations to contest the suit.
Forty dispositions were taken in yari-
GUS parts of the country.
Roosevelt arose and waived his
claim for damages, and the jury rend-
cred a verdict in accordance with
Michigan law which fixes the value
Of a mans reputation at six cents
where he does not claim more.
The libel of which Colo.I Roose-
welt complained was published Oc-
tober II, 1912, in Mr.. Newetts weekly
paper at Ishpeming, the Iron Ore. It
took the colonel to task for preach
| ing" to others when "he himself gets
! drunk and that not infrequently, as
all his intimates know"
The first witness in the case was
Roosevelt and the last on for the
plaintiff was Admiral George Dewey,
whose testimony was introduced by
deposition. Between them were James
r. Garfield, Robert Bacon, former SEN
| ator and Ambassador to France; Gift
ford Pinchot, Truman Newberry, for
mer secretary of war; Major General
| Leonard Wood, chief Of staff; DR.. Ly.
man Abbott, George B. Cortelyou, DR..
! Albert Shaw and William Loeb. Jr.,
Jacob A. Riis, and many newspaper
men all Of whom testified orally or by
deposition that Colonel Roosevelt did
not get drunk" as charged.

BALKAN PEACE TREATY IS SIGNED
End Reached At Last in Long strUg-
gle Of Allies Against
Turkey

London-The eight months war be-
tween Turkey and the allied Balkan
states IS ended The treaty Of London
was signed In the picturesque gallery
Of St. James palace. Sir Edward
Grey, the British foreign secretary,
presided over the formal!ties. The
following peace delegates signed the
preliminary treaty:
Osman Nizam Pasha, for Turkey;
Steion Noyakayitch for Seryia;
Dr.. Daneh, for Bulgaria; VI Skoloudis,
for Greece, and ~. Popoyich, for Mon
tenegro.
The only dramatic feature OF the
historic occasion was VI. Popoyich's
expression OF keen disappointment
that Montenegro had been 'dispoiled
OF her just share Of the spoils Of a
triumphant war" and Of the hope that
England which took the lead in the
spoiIation," would take every step to
compensate Montenegro for her sacri-
fee
The Bulgarian delegate proposed
that peace become Immediately ef-
feCtiYe without rdtlncdtlOn OF the
treaty. This proposal was rejected
and the delegates then left having
agreed to meet later to consider the
adyisability Of an eventual annexed
protocol.
After the treaty had been signed Sir
Edward suggested that the conference
limit it's discussion to a constitution
for Albania, tho delimitation Of the
southern frontier Of Albania and the
status Of the Aegean islands The
ambassadors now are awaiting further
instructions from their governments
regarding n constitution for Albania,
but the conference is working in great
or harmony and expects to conclude
itB labors by the end Of June.
