TRUST LAWS AND
UNFAIR COMPETITION

Washington, June 14.-Results of an
extensive study Of Trust Laws and
Unfair Competition were submitted TO
President Wilson today in q report
prepared by the old bureau of Corpor-
atoms for its Informative value 10
Congress in enacting legislation. Fed
eral antitrust laws. judicial decisions
and their influences upon forms of
business organization are discussed as
are the state laws and those Of for
eign countries.
The chief conclusions of the study
are that the development of antitrust
legislation and consequent judicial de-
cisions have been important factors in
shap ping forms Of business organiza-
ton and that interpretations Of the
Sherman law, especially the more re-
cent decisions, have demonstrated its
far reaching effect. Practically no
twilight zone has been left, the report
says which cannot be reached by state
or federal law.
although the Sherman antitrust
law is comprehensive in its scope
SAYS the report. "it is not SO clearly
established that the judicial decisions
afford a basis for determining with
exactness the lawfulness. or unlawful
ness, when taken severally of many
particular devices that have been used
collectively TO control the market AL
most every decision has been based OF
a complex set of facts and the use OF
number of different devices to re-
strain trade"

TODAY'S BEAUTY
SUGGESTIONS

Face powder simply covers up an
unattractive complexion and leaves
no lasting benefits. Those who
have tried a simple spurmax face
lotion find it much better, as il
removes skin discolorations, such
as freckles and tan, and makes the
skin smooth, white and velve,y
This lotion as made by dissolving
four ounces of spurmax in one-half
pint hot water, then adding two tea
spoonfuls glycerin. This complexion
beautifier does not rub off or show like
powder. and gices more refined ap-
pearance. 1t removes both shininess
and sallow-ness, rapidly giving the skin
a permanent healthy. youthful appear
ance.
An especially fine shampoo for this
weather can be had at trifling expense
by dissolving a teaspoonful of can
throx in a cup of hot water. Pour
slowly on scalp and massage briskly.
This creates a soothing, cooling lather
that dissolves and removes all

STUDY AND PRE-
VENT|oN OF TUBERCU
L0SIS- ANNUAL

Seattle, June 13.-Subjects of the latest
Significance in the treatment and preven-
ton of tuberculosis will be discussed
during he next three days at the nth
annual meeting of The National Asso-
citation for the Study and Prevention of
tuberculosis, which meets in this city
tomorrow. Among the principal topics
of discussion will be immunity against
tuberculosis, vaccination to prevent the
disease, artificial pneumothorax as a
method of treatment, housing in its rela-
ton to the tuberculosis problem, and
methods of preventive work for anti
tuberculosis organizations.
The subject of immunity will be dis
cussed by a number of speakers in the
Clinical and Pathological Sections, par
ticularly on Tuesday night by DR.. En-
rico Castelli of New York who will pre-
sent the results of experimental work
carried on by the Faculty Of Medicine
of Genoa, Italy, in an endeavor to render
children and adults immune against at
tacks of tuberculosis. The Wednesday
morning session and Clinical Section will
be devoted entirely to the discussion of
artificial pneumothorax or the compress
sion Of the lung by the injection of nitro
gen gas in the pleural cavity as an aid
in the treatment of tuberculosis. This
method of treatment has been in vogue
for several years, and the results of
numerous experiments will be summar-
lied. Before the Sociological Section,
important papers on the relation Of bad
housing to infection from tuberculosis
and what steps can be taken to prevent
unsanitary conditions will be discussed.
Between 300 and 500 delegates and MEM
bers from all parts of the United States
are to be in attendance at the meeting.
The first regular session will be held to-
morrow night at which time the subject
of Child Welfare in Its Relation to
tuberculosis will be discussed.

NO REWARD FOR
PASSENGER PIGEONS

Washington, June 14.-Recent wide
spread newspaper accounts to the ef-
feet that the United States Department
Of Agriculture is Offering $4,000 re-
ward to the person finding a passen-
ger or wood" pigeon nest containing
two eggs, resulted In hundreds of let
ters being sent to the Department
The report il not based upon facts as
the Department has offered no such
reward, and there Is every reason to
believe the passenger pigeon which
formerly roamed the country in hocks
Of millions is extinct In 1910 about
81. 900 in rewards were offered by
Clark University for the first undis-
turbed nests OF the passenger pigeon
70 be found in the United States
This was a great stimulus to action.
The hunt for this pigeon was fruit
less. The offer Of rewards was re-
fully established that the pigeon was
extinct.
The passenger pigeon up to 1885
ranged the American continent east OF
the Rocky Mountains. The mourning
dove has often been mistaken for the
passenger pigeon, which in general
way IL resembles. However, this bird
is quite distinct from the passenger
pigeon; it is shorter and has different
color markings.
The press reports stated that the
now extinct passenger pigeon was val
ued because Of its usefulness in de-
stroying the gypsy moth and other
moths and pests which are doing mil
lions Of dollars Of damage. Although
the preservation Of this pigeon is
much to be desired. it would be Of
absolutely no value in eliminating the
gypsy moth as the pigeons are almost
entirely yegetarians in their diet.

The abbreviation Fps" to signify Pc
SOS, was the origin Of the American
dollar mark, according to a Spanish
American scientist. When America
was first settled, the Dutch and the
Spanish were strong competitors for
the trade Of the world. The word dol
lar is but corruption Of the Dutch
'thaler' or "tnaller,'.a coin much used
in commerce at that period. and which
superseded the "pieces-of- eight" OF
Spanish coinage. The peso or plaster
which was the Spanish. name for
pieces Of eight" was worth approxi-
mately the same as the thaler and as
the Dutch name was easier to say, II
found a place in our language in the
corrupted form, while the abbreyfation
for the peso remained as the sole re-
minder of the Spanish mintage in our
financial records.

Singing sands, which give forth a
musical humming when moved by
strong winds, are found sometimes to
have the sound increased to a kind of
boot when a small quantity Of the
grains is clapped between the hands.
The most remarkable Of such sands
are said to be situated in Kausi,
Hawaiian islands. The Colorado des-
ert also contains similar material:
Manchester, Mass, has a famous
singing beach," and other deposits
have been reported. The microscope
shows the grains to be almost perfect
ly spherical. They lose their peculiar
property when removed, and one the
ory is that the sounding is due to a
thin Aim Of gas.
