|DREY POINTS OUT ANGER OF CONFLICT l WITH FEDERAL LAW |ys Combination of Mid
 ale Bethlehem Could Not
 be Accomplished AME PROBLEM AS l STEEL CORPORATION Eel Men Are All Eager to do Noth- { ing That Would Conflict With the Federal Statutes
By HOLLAND

lew York. October 15.-tSp seial. )-There
 3 single sentence in the brief state
 nt which William E. Corey made sup
 nentary to the announcement of the
 vale Steel transaction which contains
 philosophy of the combination so far
 the relation of this combination to the
 is concerned, and also contains an
 mation of one important feature which
 be adopted by the combination. MT. Fey said. as quoted, that combination fch included the Bethlehem Steel com hy and the new Midvale could not be
 de without violating the law The
 son was that the two companies are ind to be in competition so far as the
 rkets for certain commodities are con- ented by the new Midvale company
 made up of subsidiaries which are not
 lpeting industries.
 his statement reflects the organization
 the United States corporation and also
 { of the Federal Steel company out of
 ation. The great leaders in American Iustries learned in the Inid-nineties, before some of the large comblna- ns were effected, what the meaning of
 federal statutes relating 10 combin- pns in restraint of trade was. They realized that the good business con
 ions compelled the maintenance of |npetition, and that monopolistic control an industry was sure in the long run
 be harmful to that industry.
 With a good understanding of these h,ciples the late Norman B. Ream, rshall Field. H. H. Porter and Judge
 H. Gary, all of Chicago at that time San consultations which had in view vitalzing of the Federal Steel com by. That organization was occupied i h the manufacture of few commodi- B. It controlled to some extent certain ltricts Of the west The corporation {Wever, did not flourish although there Is no reason to complain of the man. isment.

Therefore, 1t was l)ized that if the Federal Steel com ny was to be successfully reorganized must be careful to avoid any action |ich placed it in hostility to the federal |tutes.

The science of the kitchen-as vital and as complicated science as chemistry, It. self-has been the life study of Mrs. Betty Lyles Wilson. And, because Mrs. Wilson gave to the subject all the attention, in- vestigation and research that is required of the scientist, she for a number of years has held unquestioned the title of the worlds greatest cook.'
 When The Age-Herald planned out it's housekeeper's demonstration. the end in view was to aid Birmingham women to- wards an appreciation of the sicence of right cooking.
 For Mrs. Wilson is being brought as lecturer during the coming week of the demonstration with the especial view of putting cooking in Birmingham on a scientific basis Mrs. Wilson will con- duct the school every day both on the double basis of explanation and demon stration.
 Reason in Cookery
 There is always reason for everything in the matter of cookery and Mrs. Wilson has studied out and proved the reason and will always explain it patiently and thor Ou6Hy. I1cT icCtuf tS duu QcifiOnoii deioiio will run the gamut from the A c of boiling eggs to the "calculus course'' in making and baking presidents cakes. And always she will pause her lecture to answer any question. Also, she Will be prepared at all times to offer any re- cipe for any viand to be made with any number of consumers in mind. She has costs at her finger tips and can tell Bir- mingham housewives how they can save their pennies in buying and utilize their scraps in cooking.
 Here is the practical teaching. Be- cause she has established her reputation upon this practical basis, she has been made head of the domestic science oe- partment of the summer school of Co., lumbia university. and for the same req son she has been made department edi- tor and regular contributor of many of the country's biggest journals and maga- zines for women.
 All of Mrs. Wilson's lore-all of the years of tedious self training and in vestigation and of discovery, as well as all of the years of triumph and of suc- cess-will be offered for the coming week to the Birmingham housewife free of charge.
 Aid Women Is Aim
 It is The Age -Heralds whim to make itself factor in the upbuilding of its city and to this end to be of aid to its women readers. The cooking schools conducted by this paper produce 8 money loss to The Age-Herald. They are not calculated to add to the rev. enue of the paper. But already rev enue of good will and appreciation has been achieved. The Age-Herald hal helped many a housewife toward 2 better understanding of the uses oi her kitchen and a more economica system of it's utilization.
 Mrs. Wilson will keep this aim con. stantly before her. It has been hel own aim, too. That is why The Age Herald has employed her--highest sal aried of all cooking experts-to de

CUM IS ACQUITTED
OF OLD CHARGE

Thirty minutes deliberation by a
jury in Superior Judge Conley's court
this morning freed o. X. Cuin of a
grand larceny charge more than three
years old. Cuin, together with his
three brothers, were arrested some
months ago.
At 1920 this morning the jury
filed out after receiving instructions
from Judge Conley. Less than five
minutes later they were recalled, re
ceived further instructions and again
retired.
Exactly thirty minutes later F. M.
Barto, foreman of the jury, announced
verdict of not guilty, only three
ballots having been required before
The jurors reached an agreement. The
first stood 10 to 2, the second II to /,
the third ballot resulting in Gums
acquittal.
According to Attorney O. V. Will
son, who appeared for Cuin, Judge
Conley upheld him in his contention
that the burden of proof rested upon
the prosecution to show that CUM
had changed his residence during
tbo nariod for n,oro tbao tbraa yaorS
that he was at large, subsequent to
the alleged crime.
E. r.. Simon, deputy district attor-
ney, this morning was unable to
say whether the case would be APP
pealed
Commodore Cuin, brother of the
acquitted man, will face a similar
charge on February 8.

CHARITY BALL TO

Invitations are out for a grand
charity ball, to be given by a cote
RE of Ell Centro's most charming so
ciety maids, for the benefit of the
Belgian sufferers, at Masonic hall on
Monday evening, February l.
No event of the present social sea
son has been looked forward to with
greater interest than the announce
ment of this splendid benefit for
"sweet charity's sake" and while the
beautiful thought of helpfulness orig
mated with the hostesses-Miss Jane
Kelsey, Miss Marjorie Paris, Miss
Inez Collier and Miss Nell McGlynn-
their many friends are not slow in
coming forward with proffers of aid,
so the success of the affair is already
assured
It was not till 500 invitations had
been sent out that the sponsors of
the benefit realized the futility of
attempting to reach every one who
would like to share in this benefac-
tion for the war sufferers, and to
those whose names were not in the
mailing list the young ladies extend
a cordial invitation to be present, and
Il there are those who would like to
land a helping hand, but do not care
to dance, donations, both small and
large, will be gladly accepted.
That the young people and their
friends will be well chaperoned, one
need but glance at the long list of

z GRADUATE AT
 HENDRIX IN JUNE COMMENCEMENT JUNE g SENIOR CLASS IS ONE OF THE LARGEST IN THE HISTORY
 OF THE COLLEGE.

Twenty young men and two young women will receive the degree of bachelor of arts from Hendrix College on June 9. The class is one of the largest on record at the college, and is composed of younger members than any other class that ever graduated from the institution. Nine members of the class live in Conway.
 The following compose the class Miss Ruby Baugh, Miss Ruth Baugh, Silas Fulmer, Paul Fulmer, J. H. Bishop, William M. Harton, James A. Anderson, Jr., Howard c. Johnston and Joseph R. Holmes, Conway; B. o. Womble, Fl Dorado; Henry A. Stroup, Ozark; Oscar Fawcett, Austin; R. c. Carmichael, New Edinburgh; Homer Hudson, Cabot; Robert w. Young and Ashley S. Ross, Okolona; Carter Jenk- ns, Emmet; William R. Stevens, Cor nerville; Jewel J. Propps, Center Point; L. D. Caudel, Greenwood Frank McAnear, Pearson. Joseph F. Rogers, who is teaching school at Ashdown, will receive his diploma dur ing the summer.
 l The officers of the class are: Joseph R. Holmes, president; Oscar Fawcett vice president; William R. Stevens secretary; Robert w. Young, treasur- CT; Silas Fulmer, class historian. l The commencement sermon will be delivered by pr. J. s. Carpenter, pas tor of St. Paul's Methodist church at Muskogee, Okla, on Sunday morning. June 6. Dr. Carpenter also will preach the annual Young Mems Christian As sociation sermon on Sunday after noon. The graduating exercises vii be held in the college chapel on Wed nesday morning, June g. Bishop E. E. Hoss of Nashville, Tenn, will de liver the baccalaureate address to the class. Harry G.

 The class is one of the most repre- sentative that ever received degrees from Hendrix. Clerics, orators, mu- sicians, lawyers, physicians, teachers bankers and athletes are among the number. In the latter class the fol lowing have won the college numeral Football 2, track 2, basketball 8, base ball 5.

TO ARREST POOL
 HALL OPERATOR MAYOR TO TEST LAW B. T. INGRAM OFFERS TO CLOSE PLACE IF EXPENSES ARE
 REIMBURSED.

Mayor Frank Jones stated this af- ternoon that B. T. Ingram, who open ed pool hall here Saturday, will be brought into his court tomorrow morn ing to answer a charge of violating the municipal ordinance prohibiting the operation of pool halls. This ordi- nance which MT. Ingram claims has been invalidated by decision of the supreme court in case taken up from Dardanelle. Mayor Jones, however. stated that the Dardanele case was one of an incorporated town, while Conway, as a city of the second class, has certain enlarged police powers which are different from those grant ed by the legislature to incorporated towns.
 After a lengthy conference with Rev. Otto Wilmington, pastor of the Baptist church, Saturday afternoon, MT. Ingram agreed to close his place provided the expenses he had already incurred, amounting to about $50, were refunded. No effort has been made to raise this amount.
 Since it's opening Saturday night the pool room has been enjoying a good patronage Mr. Ingram said to- day that the people who oppose the opening of such place will soon find that there is nothing objectionable about it. He has posted conspicuous signs forbidding drinking, betting or profane language in the room and de- clares that good order will be main- tained at all times.
