Favor Pools IN
| Foreign Trade
Southern California Business Men
Argue For Modification Of
Antitrust Laws

Los Angeles, Aug. pa brief
hearing today by the United States
trade commission indicated that in
southern California a majority of the
men interested in expansion of Am
erican trade aboard are in favor of
amending the national antitrust laws
to permit pools or combinations for
the benefit of foreign commerce, but
are divided upon the scope and appli-
cation OF such combinations or pools.
Among those who testified were
manufacturers interested in pushing
patented or trade marked articles in
foreign markets. These were unani-
mously opposed to marketing combin.
atoms of competitive lines. On the
other hand, bankers and manufactur
ers or dealers I'm staples favored
marketing combinations or cooperat
| i've agreements between manufacture
ers Of all lines of goods suitable to
foreign markets.
At the same time every man who
gave his views declared that the ex
pansion of American trade in South
America and the rest of the worlt
depended primarily upon extension Of
credits and adequate shipping facili
ties.

Attempted Landing Of Germans on
Coast Of Gulf Of Riga
Frustrated

London, Aug. 24.-From details of
the attempted German landing in the
Gulf of Riga last Saturday as publish
ed in the Novoe Vremya, it appears,
says dispatch from ePtrograd to the
Central News agency, that three
large transports filled with troops ap.

German squadron. The German ships
were allowed to come close to land
before terrific artillery fire was OPP
ened by the Russians.
a duel between the cruisers and
shore batteries continued for about
two hours when the last transport was
sunk. Only a few boats then re.
manned and these were soon smashed
to pieces by the Russian fire.
The German squadron managed to
destroy some houses with their long
range guns. During the attempt to
land at Perneff the Germans also des-
cended on Gainash to south OF Per-
noff Two lighters filed with troops
on attempting to reach the ocean at
Gainash were sunk by Russian shells.

SAYS DOCTORS CHARGE
FARMERS TOO MUCH

Edwin Laporte of Alabama, writing
in the current issue of Farm and Fire
side about doctors charges, especial
ly among farmers, tells as follows
what he knows about doctors charg-
es in his part of the country:
81 wish to say that here in Alaba-
ma the doctors are charging from sew
en- to ten dollars for trip OF seven
to ten miles. And after coming and
examining you instead of leaving
some medicine to cure you, a pre-
scription is written. A trip to town
must then be made which means a
delay of four to six hours to get the
medicine and paying the druggist sew.
enty-flve cents to one dollar more.
THE doctor will not come unless
he gets cash, or his pay is guaran.
teed by some rich man or the coun-
ty. Perhaps on the same trip he
calls on Mr.. A. Mr.. b, Mr.. n, and
Mr. T, charging all the same fee He
is away from his Office probably not
more than three hours If he has a
car, or five hours if driving a horse.
A fine thing-from seven TO thirty
dollars for his trip and opinion with.
out giving any medicine!
Now I, for one, am disguised with
federal law makers who allow such
things, and ! think the people should
demand of Congress that law be
passed to govern the mileage and
obllge the doctors to carry an ordi.
nary supply of medicines for COM
mon diseases, 1t is what I term a
druggists and doctors syndicate.

NATIONAL UNIVERSITY is
PROPOSED BY CLAYTON
Would Provide Short Cut to World
Peace, Says Commissioner of
Education

Oakland, Cal, Aug. IA short
cut to world peace through the estab.
lishment of a university at Washing.
ton, ID. c., with a thousand profess
sors and an income of $l0,O0e0O0 a
year to support it and teach students
of all nations was suggested here to-
day by Philander C. Claxton, United
States commissioner of education at
the annual luncheon of the board OF
managers of the American School
Peace League.
81 would like to see q magnificent
university founded by this nation at
Washington with an annual appropri-
alton of $lO,OOO,OOO," Mr.. Claxton
said, "so that thousand of the best
professors might be gathered there to
teach pupils from all parts of the
world. Such a university would be
attended by pupils from all parts of
the world, young men and women
edSeT 10 We taught, anu VIM 'O"'N
carry back to their native countries
a doctrine of right and brotherly love
that would do more than anything
else to bring universal peace. "
"The United States would be doing
a greater good than We can imagine
by founding such a school and at an
annual cost which would be less than
that of a warship."
Mr.. ClaXton made the suggestion
after Dr.. David Starr Jordon, chan
cellor of Stanford university had term
ed the education of Japanese in Am
erican universities, "a large factor In
promoting friendly relations with ia
pan"

Russian Ship Torpedoed
Berlin, Aug. 24.-The German ad.
miralty today announced that a Ger.
man submarine had torpedoed and
sunk a Russian auxiliary ship at the
entrance to the Gulf of Finland.
Repudiate Russian Claim
Amsterdam, Aug. 25.-Russian
claims of great German losses in the
naval battle in the Gulf of Riga are
repudiated in a semiofficial telegram
received from Berlin, which saws that
no dreadnought or cruisers were sunk
or damaged.
The telegram repeats the official
statement of August 81, that one
small German warship was sunk and
two others put out of commission and
says:
Torpedo boats appearing here had
orders to cover the blockade of the
port. An artillery combat which de-
veloped with the port field batteries
resulted in the silencing of port
battery.
1.-THE field batteries were success
fully bombarded. One Russian steam
er and six sailing vessels were caught
and sunk. The ships sunk, according
to the Russian report, were steamers
sunk by us to barricade the road

Does Dentists Use
ss0f Cold Result in
acknowledgement?

San Francisco, Aug 23.-Are den
lists, or the use of gold for dental
work, in any way responsible for the
financial depression. This question
is of sufficient Importance to warrant
an investigation on the part of the
United States government. Further
than that statistics on the amount of
gold used in dental work will be pre-.
scented at the Panama Pacific Dental
Congress which convenes IN San
Francisco on August 80 for ten day
session.
In the past wo years the amount Of
| gold used for dental work through
the introduction of gold inlaying, has
doubled or trebled. There has been
a corresponding decrease in the
] amount OF silver used dentists, in
many cases, prefer gold to any other
material as they are more certain of
the results achieved. Only virgin go d
Is used and once used Is carried to
the grave.
Some time ago the government
started to find out how much gold
was lost through dental practice and
sent blanks to every dentist through,
out the United States for a statement
of gold used, These blanks were
looked at askance by the dentists as
many of them, knowing that United
States gold coin is OF uniform purity
were using gold coin for dental work
They were not sure that they had not
infringed the law against the mutila
ton Of coins. The government then
assured the dentists that there was
no law to prevent the use OF gold

5000 Persons
in Inundated
City Cut OH
Inhabitants Of Newport, Arkansas In
Desperate Straits; Seven
Drowned

Little Rock, Ark, Aug. % Five
thousand people in Newport, Arkan-
sas. tonight are marooned by the
food waters of White river. Accord
ing to a telephone message received
here, the populace is in desperate
straits. Eight persons are reported 10
have lost their lives. The town Is
inundated to a depth ranging from
five To twelve feet and most OF the
population has sought refuge In the
upper floors of the hotels and inc
courthouse.
Because of recent heavy rains, the
river rose to such an extent that all
the levees protecting the town gave
way early today, letting loose one oil
the most disastrous floods in the his
tory of the community. Two steamers
continued making trips up and down
the river in the Vicinity of New
port and succeeded in rescuing
number of families from the roofs OF
houses whittier they had gone to es-
cape the food. Finally the flood be-
came too great and the boats had to
withdraw.
All means of communication with
the town, save the telephone wire has
been destroyed and 1t is feared to-
night that even before morning the
telephone wire would be gone. Sew
eral passenger trains are stalled at
Newport.
With food and water supplies all
but exhausted and with many refu.
gees in the town from other points
along the river the situation was one
which authorities here considered as
grave.
The river although rising slowly
tonight was expected to begin falling
tomorrow morning.

HOW ONE FARMER GOT
HIS BUTTER CUSTOMERS

According to the current issue of
Farm and Preside the national farm
paper published at Springfield, Ohio,
a butter producer in Mount Jackson,
Virginia allowed his name to be quot
ed on the Washington, ID. c., Food
Products Bulletin which the post Of
flee authorities of that city issue lad
within a few days had received three
inquiries from housewives for prices.
Following is a brief extract from the
account of how he handles his bust
ness:
Immediately he replied to the IN
Quiries, quoting q price of q cents
the pound for butter-the customer
to pay postage, This, in spite of
the fact that he knew several Of the
fancy groceries of the national CAPT.
tai were asking 3S cents pound. lie
received a few trial orders, packed
the butter neatly and shipped it
promptly back. A worthwhile trade
grew up. He received orders for 81
pounds in single week and of course
followed his customers up with Offers
Of other kinds of fresh produce. A
prominent Southern hotel added its
patronage to the Washington house
wives-and the producer found to Ais
surprise one week that he had so
many orders that he would have 70
buy cream from his neighbors to sat
isfy the demand.
AT this point he might have fallen
down If he had not taken thought.
But he did. He examined every quart
of bought cream with careful scru.
tiny, and turned back good deal that
was not up to the mark.

err at Washington. | have never had

A high official of the Washington
administration explained today that
the present period of reconstruction
had been deemed the opportune time
to press the proposed treaty and that
the sole object was to place the Hal

destinies. 1t was declared that ten
years should suffice to give the is.

ton and marketing. The exchange
finds markets and sells annually an
average of $4,000 cars of citrus fruits.
Powell also was a witness before
the commission and expressed doubt
that American fruitgrowers ever
would be able to compete in foreign
markets owing to the low cost of pro-
duction in Spain, Italy and other for
eign countries.
