ANTITRUST BLUFF AND BLUSTER
The Provisions Against Interlocking Di-
rectorates Would Work Great
Hardship.

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: I am greatly pleased with your
recent editorial headed "Too Much Bluff
and Buster i'm the Antitrust Bills You
clearly point out the unnecessary hard
ship which the bill forbidding interlock-
ing directories would work in the case
of a person who happened TO be director
or officer in any sort OF railway enter

like place upon the board of his local
bank, no matter how remote. BY failing
to carry your discussion Of the bill just

"A feature of special interest to the writer.

stances the holding Of a dictatorship at

A DEMOCRAT WITH A SMALL ID"

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: once upon time there was a great
politician who always and everywhere
proclaimed Il am a Democrat" He has
passed on. And now in this year of our
Lord 1914 another man has arisen who
says 81 am a democrat with a small d..
just as often in speech and in letter as his
predecessor.
John Martin tells the truth the whole
truth and nothing but the truth when he
says he is "a democrat with a small d.
Having been born In a monarchy, having
lived most Of his life in monarchy, how
could ii be possible for him TO spell
democracy any other way? II takes
great many years for some men TO learn
what our country means 10 its citizens,
and so we must not think too harshly of
Mr.. Martin for standing true to his early
convictions. fostered I'm another country.
If he continues to live I'm America for
many years | am sure he cannot but he
influenced by our principles. and some
day will say. "Once | was blind. but now
can see" He is on his way-for he has
come as far as Staten Island and that is
pretty near New York. the great Ameri-
can stronghold.
Mr.. Martins attitude as a member of
the New York Board OF Education again
shows up that small ID" for he considers
that it is wrong for a school teacher TO
become mother. and wants her dis
charged for such a crime. Some day New
York is going to have a real Board OF
Education which will not spell democracy
with a small ID" nor with even capital

capitals. large capitals. both IN letter and

COMEDY OF KISSES.

A bit Of comedy came into a dull
London court the other day, a COM
edy of kisses. Mr.. and Mrs. Samuel
Alexander, in Aldgate, keep dodgers.
One of these dodgers bears a striking
resemblance to Mr.. Alexander. Mr.
and Mrs. Benjamin Shrimpsky are
next-door neighbors, and Mrs. s.,
said counsel for the plaintiffs, had
told other neighbors that she had
seen the ledger kissing Mrs. Alex
ander in the kitchen at midnight.
Not only that, but Mrs. S., who was
Of a musical turn, gave vent to her
feelings in song. One of these songs,
sung in her back yard in a very loud
voice, was; ooh! father, if you don't
come home I'll run away with the
lodger." Mrs. A. and the lodger
both gave evidence denying the kiss
ing. The jury found for the plain
tiffs, with f5 damages for Mrs. A.
and 1 farthing damages for Mr.. A.,
not half enough for a mug Of ale.

MAN WHO SLEPT FOR LIVING
Peculiar Occupation Of EnsIishman as
Disclosed In Advertisement
Printed In I'LL.

To sleep for ones living may APP
peal to some as a more attractive
alternative than to work for ones liv-
ing. But the feat has been achieved.
In the Daily Courant Of August
8, 1771, the following advertisement
appears: nicholas Hart, who slept
last year in st. Bartholomew hos
pital, intends to sleep this year at
the Cock and Bottle in Little Brit
aim" Some further particulars of
this professional somnolist are found
in the Spectator for October 1 of
that year. It appears that Hart was
every year seized with a periodical
fit Of sleeping, which began on Au-
gust 5 and ended on the eleventh.
Its various stages are thus de-
scribcd:
"On the 1st of hat month he grew
dull; on the I'd, appeared drowsy;
on the Sd, fell a-yawning; on the
4th, began to nod; on the 5th,
dropped asleep; on the 9Th, was
heard to snore; on the 9TH, turned
himself in his bed; on the 9Th; re-
covered his former posture; on the
9th, fell a-s%tretching on the 10th,
about midnight, awaked; on the
18th, in the morning, called for a
little small beer" This performance,
it is asserted, gained for Hart
enough to support himself for .
twelvemonth."

ONLY THREE PRIMARY COLORS
Union Of Red, Yellow and Blue Give
Birth to All Varieties of
TInts.

Red, yellow and blue are the three
elementary colors whose union gives
birth to all the varieties that delight
our eyes. We have an illustration of
this in one of natures most beauti-
full phenomena, the rainbow. 1t is

We distinguish the red, yellow and
blue in all their purity.
Life is unproductive until the
three united in one bring all things
to perfection. Plants will blossom
into a bright passion of life under
the influence of the red and yellow
roys, but no fruit appears without
the added power Of the blue ray. The
red is the %calorie, OF heating prin-
ciple; yellow, the luminous or light
giving principle; while in the blue
we have the power of actinism, c-
