was scarcely able to see the ball.
There was some criticism over holding
the match under the prevailing condi-

Hooks LIKE CHANGE
President Wilson's New Views
About Big Business.
Recent Utteranees Seem to indicate
That He Has Reeonsldsrsd Certain
Policies That Worked Much
Harm to the Country.

President Wilson. in his speech to
the United States Chamber of Com
merce the other day. said he favored
q modification of the antitrust laws
that would make 1t possible for Ameri-
can business men to bind themselves
together In common action In secur-
Ing foreign trade. He would encour-
age such q concert of action. he said.
provided that no combinations were
formed to exclude any manufacturer
or exporter.
His remarks were hailed with great
applause. as well they might have
been, since they were an approval Of
big business, which he has been fight
ing ever since he went into office. For
there is certainly no difference in
principle between trusts organized to
get foreign business and trusts operat-
ing in this country.
And what becomes Of the competi-
ton that he insisted was the chief
need of business when he demanded
the dissolution Of the big trusts? Is
1t not as desirable in the foreign trade
as at home? Or. putting it the other
way. may not combinations OF bust
ness men under proper conditions be
just as desirable and necessary in
handling home trade as In command
ing foreign trade?
Mr.. Wilson said, In his Indianapolis
speech, that he was not business
man. but in his Washington address
he shows signs OF an ability to learn.
But 1t is up to" him to explain why
trust Of the kind he recommends Is
beneficent, and other trusts that do
business at home are iniquitous.

Aviators' Safety Parachutea

The energies OF practically all the
inventors of parachutes for airmen
have been directed towards the devel-
opment OF a device for the airman
alone, the aeroplane itself being al
lowed to drop to earth unhindered.
Parachutes for the whole aeroplane
have just been designed by French
inventor. Two folded parachutes. con-
tanned in cone-shaped receptacles. are
attached to the wings as near the ends
as possible BY means of simple
mechanism, operated by the movement
of small hand lever, these para
chutes are pushed out Of the contain
ers, after which they are claimed to
open freely, no matter in what man
ner the aeroplane may be falling. All
the airman has to do is to hang on to
the aeroplane.
