cision favorable to the Steel Corporation
case and other recent antitrust deci-
sions against the Government, has raised
rtous doubt as to the future enforce
ment of the Sherman antitrust Jaw
along what they regard as practical
lines.
They fear the decisions indicate a ju-
dicial disposition to construe the Sher-
man law in far narrower scope than
the Department OF Justice officials have
conceived
The National Cash Register case was
admittedly regarded by the Department
of Justice as the strongest the Govern
ment has had In the criminal series un-
der the sherman law.
While the action OF the supreme Court
in refusing the writ to review the case
was not accompanied by any formal
opinion and there is no direct evidence
how the court regards the attempt OF
the Government TO enforce the criminal
provisions OF the statute there appar-
entity can be no escape from the con-
clusion that the court found no error
in the judgment OF the Circuit Court of
Appeals. which held that two of the
counts against the defendants were bad.
The first count against the cash regis
ter defendants. on which they were con-
victed, was that OF "a conspiracy TO
restrain trade by unfair methods OF
As to this the Court of Appeals held
that there were errors by the trial Judge
below in admitting evidence and In
the jury. On this count re-

MR.. FOX VISITS JACK RABBIT.

Jack Rabbit had just the kind of an
experience that Mr.. Fox told him he
would. In trying to grow long tail
by wetting himself in the brook and
drying himself in the sun he caught
so bad cold that for a week or more
he could not get out of his burrow,
and finally he sent a squirrel to ask
Mr.. Fox if he would not come to visit
him and bring some wisdom with him,
for he was still too i'll to go out, and,
more than that, he was lonesome from
staying so much alone in his burrow.
Tell Jack Rabbit that | will come
this afternoon" said the fox when the
squirrel had delivered the message,
and early that afternoon he set out for
the visit to the rabbit.
Jack Rabbit certainly was glad to
see him and set out for him the best
that he had in his home. There were
bits of lettuce and a fine bunch Of
sweet clover, and, most delicate of all
to the rabbits palate, were tender tops
of some celery plants which had late
ly put their heads above ground in
Farmer Johnsons garden.
Mr.. Fox made believe that he en-

To be neat and to be simple is the
province of the dress which is made to
be worn about the house for the daily
use of the housewife. The house dress
has it's own devotees among design
ers, and their thought is spent upon
making it attractive and substantial
and entirely suited to the needs of the
woman who busies herself with the
affairs of her housekeeping.
To be successful with the house
gown is to understand first how to Sc
lect the material for making it. This
must be a durable wash fabric in a
neat pattern and stable colorings The
crispness and freshness of the newly

ROBIN DEvOURS MANY WORMS
Menu White Gruhs, Beetles, Wasps,
Moths, Ants, Etc.

Could you, upon demand, with your
eyes closed, recall to mind, and de-
scribe accurately enough for identi
fcation purposes, Robin Redbreast,
the cheerful companion of everybody,
everywhere?
Put to the test at a dinner recently
not one of the diners could depict Mr.
from his bird fellows. And yet, Robin
is the most common and familiar of
our birds, recommended by orni-
biologists as a convenient size for COM
parison with other natives of birddom
His clear song is held up to the be-
comparison by which the student may
learn to distinguish the songs of other
species.
If you have any sentiment left in
your soul, at the mention of his magic
name you will fly away with Robin
Redbreast to the land of your lost
youth, where old-fashioned sweet
smelling posies bloom in the door
yard, and on the limb of the old ap-
pie tree, close by the open window,
you will hear him persistently calling
again and again-far too early in the
morning "Cheerily- cheerily-
cheerup"
Is he not worth saving for his beau
ty and good cheer, alone?
Besides being general good fell
low Robin is most useful and indus
trious citizen. Mrs. Robin demands
very fine grasses with which to line
her coy nest, and when the baby
Robins 'arrive, they have such enor-
nous appetites it keeps both Mr. and
Mrs. Robin on the jump to supply
their steady demand for fresh earth
worms
The Robins include in their dairy
menu white grub, beetles, cutworms,

MYSTERY PARTY is AMUSING
While Weird Story is Being Related
Candles Go Out to the Amusement
of Children Present.

If you are looking for some form of
move, entertainment, give mystery
party. Not long ago a hostess enter
tanned at a party which was a great
success She led us into a darkened
room, and, when all were seated, she
brought in single on which were
placed three candles This single
was set on a low table, in full view
of all, and the candles were lighted.
When all was quiet, she began a
weird ghost story, in the weirdest part
of which the first candle went out; in
a few minutes more the second candle
went out, to the increased amazement
of the spectators. When the story
reached it's thrilling climax and the
third candle mysteriously went out,
there was rush for the door, and the
hostess felt that her scheme was a
success.
The candle extinguishing is easily
explained The wick of each had been
previously cut, and each was cut a
different distance from the top of the
candle. This is done with sharp
knife, and the two pieces of the candle
are then pressed together, so that the
cut cannot be detected. If any diff
Guilty is found in making the two parts
stick together, it is overcome very
simply by heating the wax very slight
