Bill Not introduced.

Pursuant to the purpose OF admin
istration leaders to exhaust the sub
ject il was determined by the house
judiciary and senate interstate com
merce committees not to introduce at
this time the measures relating to In
t~erlocking directorate prohibition, de-
f~initions of restraints of trade and
specification of "cut throat compe-
tition.
Hearings on these questions are to
be held before the bills go to con-
gress.
The interstate trade commission bill
introduced Friday will be taken UP
Immediately by the house interstate
and foreign m committee.
which may see fit to alter the provis-
Ions suggested by the judiciary sub
committee and Senator Newlands,
chairman Of the senate interstate COM
merce committee.
Fifth Bill to Wait.
The fifth of the proposed bills, that
TO authorize federal regulation of rail
road securities, probably will not be
drawn for several weeks. AS a basis
for this measure however, a bill in
troduced some time ago by Representa-
tive Adamson of Georgia probably will
be taken.
Plans for the hearings now are IN
gaging attention of the legislative lead
ers. When the Democrats of the SEN
ate interstate m committee
met to discuss the subject the sug-
gestion was made that hearings should
be conducted jointly by house and sem
ate committees in order to expedite
consideration OF the bills. This idea
received very little encouragement,
however, from the house leaders in
charge OF the antitrust program and
the plan hardly will work out, unless
strong pressure should be brought to
bear on the ground that everything
possible should be done to expedite the
business of congress so there may be
an early adjournment.
Joint Hearings Difficult.
With two committees in the house
already engaged in preliminary consid-
Grafton of the subject and with the
prospect of another division of juris-
diction in the senate between the jul
dietary and interstate commerce COM
mittees it was pointed out that joint
hearings could not be conducted with
out considerable difficulty. Democrats
of the senate interstate commerce
commission were inclined to insist
that all the trust measures be refer
red to them when the bills are intro.
duced in the upper branch.
Members of both committees after
discussing at some length the ques-
tion of making the bills party meas
ures through caucus action expressed
the hope that il would not be neces-
sary TO handle them in this way, as
was done with the tariff and currency
bills.

These writings were done with a sty'

GOOD IN GARDEN MOVEMENT
City Of Duluth Has Demonstrated
That II ls Of Value In Many
Different Ways.

In the summer Of 1918, the Duluth
Commercial club obtained three va
cant lots in different parts Of the
city and put a man in charge of the
three tracts. He conducted demon
stration gardening through the sea-
son; was always available to help puz-
zled gardeners: guided the school chill
dren in their work, and otherwise
stimulated the garden movement In
the city.
From an importer of garden prod
ucts, Duluth became at least a pro-
Queer of its own supplies. Duluth's
hinterland is developing agricultural
ly, but the garden movement In the
city has lost none of its significance.
It has promoted the ownership OF
many homes; 1t has drawn children
from the street and made them gar
den enthusiasts; It has induced great
er efficiency among w~age-earners
through contentment and more health
full surroundings, and it has made Du.
luth a city of gardens beautiful to be-
hold.
or greater value to Duluth is the
moral effect on the city. The rising
generation is one Of gardeners. Fac
tory workers and office employees not
only raise their own vegetables, but
they have developed their bodies by
the exercise. The demand for saloons,
gambling houses and similar resort
Is dying out.

TOWN.
" HELPS
MOVE TO ABOLISH FENCES
Pittsburgh Newspaper Regards Idea
With Favor, but Has Doubt OF lite
Pr~aetlcabIlIty.

Baltimore comes forward with q
community back yard idea, already the
subject Of practical experiment In
that city, remarks the Pittsburgh Dis
patch. 1t aims to abolish the insight
ly back yard and its rubbish-hiding
fences, and to create instead a neigh
borhood open space or park and play
ground that would keep the chill
dren of the streets and offer residents
instead of a little ~cooped-up and prac-
tically useless piece of private domain
a chance to stretch themselves and en-
Joy a freedom of movement to be had
in no other way.
A correspondent who directs atten-
ton to the scheme suggests that II
might be expanded into q factor In
reducing the cost of living If the com
munity would devote part Of the
open space to growing fruit or garden
truck.
Admirable as the idea may seem in
the abstract, it may be questioned
whether neighborhood human nature
has arrived at the perfection neces-
sary to its success. 1t is not difficult
to imagine a refractory resident an
gered by some neighbor spelling the
whole plan by restoring his fences.
1t may be doubted, too, whether this
could be avoided by any binding agree
ment being secured in advance. Then,
also, there is always the possibility Of
an untidy neighbor mussing up the
community back yard, Of clothesline
fights and dogs and chickens and all
the numerous troubles that add spice
II not sweetness to neighborhood ex.
istence.

In the southern part of that state;
that 1t is never troubled by insect

it.
No tree is exempt from insect pests,
and camphor trees may be found with
such a thick incrustation Of the red
scale of the orange that bark on twigs
may scarcely be seen. Mosquitoes
avoid camphor and its fumes and
therefore will not literally "roost"
upon the tree, but they do not avoid

grows. The camphor tree Is a prime

FIGHT PLAGUE IN THE ORIENT
American Anti tuberculosis Society
Has Been Active in Movement for
Health Preservation.

tuberculosis is one Of the most Sc
rious public health problems of the
Orient. Active organizations to fight
this disease have been formed in
Japan, the Philippines, India and Aus
tralia. A movement is on foot for a
national organization in China and in
a number of cities local work has been
started. While no accurate figures
are available, those who are in po-
bition to know claim that consumption
takes annually from 100000 to 1,O0O,-
lives in China alone. In India the
death rate is fully as high, and on &C
count Of caste distinctions and native
superstitions, the problem Of proven
ton and treatment is peculiarly diff
cult. The Japanese government has
taken a hand officially in the control
of tuberculosis, and is cooperating
with two well-organized private asso-
Citations. The death rate, while very
high, is lower than in China and In
dia. Under the direction Of the United
States public health service a move
ment for the prevention Of tuberculo-
sis in the Philippines has also been
organized.
The National Association for the
Study and Prevention of Tuberculo-
sis, with headquarters in New York,
although organized especially for work
in this country, has been largely In
strumental in the establishment of
anti-tuberculosis movement in most
of the oriental countries, as we'll as in
Africa and South America.
