METHODS OF PROCEDURE
BY TRADE COMMISSION
Rules of Practice Partly Follow the
Program Adopted by
the I. C. C.

Methods to be followed by the newly
organized federal trade commission in
regulating the business of the country
are outlined in the rules of practice,
made public today. Framed with a
view to keeping proceedings in as sim
pie form as possible, they follow in
many respects the practice established
by the interstate commerce commits
sion.
Although the federal trade commits
sion law and the Clayton antitrust
law clothe the commission with broad
discretionary powers. the rules of prac-
t1ce follow the law closely. They pro-
vide for daily sessions in Washington
to consider pending cases and make
orders.

TOWN BECOMES CENTER
OF THE THEATER Of WAR
Dixmude, Wiped Out by Shells, De.
scribed By National Geo.
graphic Society.

Among the European towns that
were in existence before the war. but
which long continued hail of shells
and explosives have swept away. is
Dixmude. month-long center of the
Flanders battle theater. This city, as
1t was in 1914, is described in a Ma
tional Geographic Society statement:
'Dixmude. the melancholy little viii
lage of yesterday and the ruins Of to-
day, was once a brave, wealthy mer-
chant city, with more than 10000 in
habitants. In the days of it's pros
perity it was a port for large ships,
and the products Of many countries
filled its warehouses. In those days
it was a strongly walled and Fashioned
city. and its we'll trained citizen SOL
diery knew how to uphold the honor of
their thriving port upon the sluggish
User. The German invaders, however,
found no evidences of the old time
walls and fortifications, nor of any
User quays.
Becomes "Decaying Village
"Dixmude. just before the war has
tened the final process of it's ooIitcra-
ton, was decaying village of LOO
people, with grass and weeds growing
in its sleepy streets and in it's large
Grand Square. that square roomy
enough to hold in comfort a mass
meeting of twice the towns popula-
ton. This large square, the splendid
Church of ST. Nicholas, that stood upon
it, and some solid old stone houses
lining the crooked streets remained to
bear testimony to pixmude's earlier
importance.
Much of the citys splendor was
wiped out by the soldiers Of Ghent
and Bruges in the middle Of the six
troops burned 900 homes. the palatial
guild and corporation halls and the
chateau at Dixmude. Its walls and
the palaces of it's merchant princes

STATEMENT DEFENDS
HONOR OF THE M|DD|ES
Issue Declaration Of Principles in
Connection With Academy
Scandal.

ANNAPOLIS Md, June 26.-Because
they feel that the public has not had
sufficient information to understand
clearly their attitude and that grave
suspicion is resting upon thenk that
their whole code of morals is on trial.
the members of the regiment of mid
shipmen have issued declaration of
principles in connection with the
"gouging" scandal at the Naval Acad-
emy.
After referring to the oath of mid
shipman to sacrifice all to patriotism
and honor the statement says: No dis
honest practice. where knowledge of
such practice has been had by the
members of the corps, has ever been
tolerated in the regiment of midship-
men. Honesty and veracity have been
demanded of every individual For our
mutual protection We have frowned
upon any leanings toward policy less
than scrupulously honest and frank.
Far from countenancing irregularities
where they have been detected, We
have shown our willingness to aid the
authorities in Riding the naval serv-
ice of the undesirable member who
may have been guilty of the miscon-
duct.
Honor Committees Discontinued.
In view of this state of affairs the
honor committees of the several class
es were discontinued as unnecessary
in a military institution where the
principles of honor and truthfulness
are the basis of discipline. We have.
notwithstanding the discontinuance of
those committees, upheld the ideas of
honesty and veracity as Il matter OF
LOYALTY and obedience
Therefore, since we believe the honor
of the Naval Academy to be at stake.
and since we consider it imperative
upon ourselves to protect it, we present
this declaration OF our principles, in
order that our attitude in this matter
may be made clear, definite and final
Admiral Fullam's Statement.
After referring to his own efforts to
keep up the standard of honor at the
academy, and expressing confidence in
Admiral Fullam says: The whole
naval system is one of honor from
start to finish. 1t is the best honor
system that exists in any institution
or in any service. Other honor systems
are unnecessary for men of honor. and
none of them will ever make dis
honorable man honorable. The super
intendent must emphasize the fact that
nothing is more reprehensible than at
tempts to shield guilty men by throw
ing the responsibility for their mis-
conduct upon others, or by bringing
discredit upon those who have used
every possible means to establish and
maintain high standards"

was cleverly concealed. Williams was
apparently very angry when the officer
found and took from him the razor.
Both in Bath and at the Jail in Au-
gusta the little fellow in the brown
suit was identified as "Curley," who
had left the Augusta Jail after serving
a term there from Skowhegan and who
had been freed from the institution
according to an official of kennebec
County, within the last six months.
According to a Bath man who was a
roamer himself, years ago, and who
claims to know the small man in
brown, having met him in his travels
on the road. and who conversed with
"Curley'' through the bars Of the win
dow of the lookup when the trio were
in Bath "Curley" is from st. John and
a man Of bad reputation. The big man,
Williams" would not come to the
bars to talk with the Bath man but
the Bath man thinks that he was
known in the old days as Flaming
King
On the way up to Jail aboard the
train the big fellow kept working at
his handouts. OF him the Bath for
mer acquaintance says: He has a
large voice but there's nothing in it,"
The officers Of Augusta were of the
opinion that the Bath police had made
no mistake in arresting these men and
bringing them up the line.

October 6 and Unusual eff
forts Being Made by Stores to
Display the Finest Wares of
the Year

Augusta dealers are now beginning to
open the treasure boxes Of fall wear
ables and it is from these that the first
glimpse of the really-to-be things are to
be obtained. While the feature displays
have not yet been made, but are still
held for the great days, October and
!, when everything that is new will be
shown at it's best. still. behind the
scenes the goods are in evidence. The
tendency toward closely tailored lines is
especially noted.
In dresses this is particularly notice
able, with hip effects and some tunics
in evidence Colors run principally to
blues, blacks. browns, old rose, prune
and green. At Chernowsky's there are
some very practical street dresses in
serges and silk combinations and in
silks with fur trims. The Bussell Il
Weston Co will show handsome models
in a great variety of desirable combina-
lions. Fur trimmed serges with short
Russian tunics and sleeves Of silk, plain
serges and pretty mixtures in blue,
brown and green.
The D. w. Adams Company will show
a captivating afternoon gown of brown
satin CharmeOSeCCe trimmed WIFI n
light brown fur and Georgette crepe
sleeves Here also are some very prac-
teal serges for morning or school wear
in the fashionable colors of the hour,
Russian green, African brown, navy and
Concord.
N. Richmond has devoted considerable
space to dress and waists which con-
form to Fashions demands. In waists
perhaps the greatest color variety is ev-
idenced. There will be found an ex-
elusive smart model of pussy willow
taffeta in the new blue-violet shade.
Peach. taupe and field mouse are also
novelty effects that will be seen.
In general collars are convertible
from the low neck to the high military
vogue as preferred. Roman stripes. too
will have their run of popular favor.
The great Combined Fashion Show
event which has been officially set for
October 6 and Z will unquestionably
bring out even newer things than are
to be seen today. These display days
have awakened stir Of deep interest in
shopping circles and developed the
keenest rivalry for superior showings.

MADE BY THE CITY

Many improvements in highways,
sidewalks, sewers and other public
conveniences have been made by the
city this summer. The construction Of
the Pettingilrs Corner sewer is now
under way and it is expected that it
will be completed in about two weeks.
This sewer has been greatly needed for
years, and an improvement in the
properties at Pettengili's Corner is al
ready noted where property owners
have been encouraged by the giving of
proper sanitary conditions to enlarge
and improve.
A 500 foot sidewalk has just been
completed on Mt. Vernon avenue, ex-
tending from Mill street to the ice
house. On the north side Of Bond
street a 800 foot sidewalk extending
from Mt Vernon avenue to Water

BULL MOOSE SHOOK
HEAD AT AUTOMOBILE

Perhaps the bull moose in Maine
have been told by the heralds Of the
forest that they are protected by law
now, perhaps they have not; but up
Unity way there is bull moose that
has some odd notion in his head about
his rights-and that's a fact.

gentleman moose in the -Four Mile
Wood so-callcd, near Unity. Driving
along the highway the automobile APP

til so close that the driver feared the
fellow would run away without allow
ing the occupants Of the car good
look at him. Slowing down he drove to
within a few yards Of the prince Of
the Maine woods.
The bull lowered his head. shook his
antlers in warning. and tried his best
to tell the driver to get his blooming
automobile out Of the road. Every
time the driver let the car run ahead
braced as if to charge. Accepting the
challenge finally, the dryer started
slowly ahead along the highway block
ed by the chagrined young fellow
with the lowered antlers. The bull
hraced for a charge and when the car
was close to him leaped ds if to hook
up his big steel antagonist on his
head and hurl it into the brush. The
automobile had called his bluff' at
last, for instead of charging headlong
into the car the bull circled and made
off into the wood at a fair pace. Per-
haps he is now Wondering what man
ner of new animal is encroaching up
