HAD TO WHISTLE TO PASS
French Surgeon Tested Officer Sus-
 pected of Facial Paralysis

A Parisian journal tells little story of l young Parisian who, in civil Hte' had long worn a monOcle in his lett eve and had continued the habit as an officer. He had been wounded. was cured and asked to be returned to the front. He was to be examined and concealed the monocle, thinking he might be charged with myopia in one eve When the chief surgeon examined him. after looking well over his face he said sharply, "Whistle!'
 The soldier whistled like a blackbird.
 This is curious" said the surgeon, and. calling a young assistant, he said again to the soldier, Whistler He whistIed again That is curious said the young assistant.
 Another surgeon entered and the pa tient was called upon for the third time to whistle.
 An" said this surgeon, this is cur ious"
 But" expostulated the soldiers. "I don't see why there is so much of this. I'm not to serve as a locomotive
 Tt is all right" said the chief sur geon. You may return to the front
 When the soldiers arrived at his regi- ment he gave to the regimental sur geon the note that had been given him by the examiner. This surgeon said in his turn: will you please whistle :" He whistied This is curious" said the surgeon
 It seems that when man wears a monocle it gives to the face the appear ance of facial paralysis. The opera tion of whistlng is a test. The facial paralytic cannot whistle.

Wall Street Keeps Its Poise In Face
Of international Com.
pIications

New York, May 14.--Apprehension
arising from the latest international
complications was reflected to no
uncertain extent In today's stock mar
ket. Standard shares broke from
three to FIVE points and those war
speclalties which recently made high
re,ord quotations. largely as result
of speculative excuses, declined FIVE

ing the most ground.
Wall street was outwardly in full
possession of its habitual poise, but
an undercurrent of uneasiness was
everywhere manifest. Recent liquid.
alton OF many speculative accounts
has put the market in a strong tech
nical position and 1t is the general
understanding that the monied in.
terests are prepared for almost any
eventuality.
Today's decline lost little of Its
severity from the fact that It was
more or less gradual. Opening pric-
es failed to measure the degree of
anxiety shown after the first hour,
when a steady ebbing away Of values
set in, continuing to the end. indeed
lowest prices were registered in the
last hour, with few fitful and unim-
portant recoveries at the close.

The Trust and Cartel

When Joseph E. Davies, CHAIRMAN
of the Federal Trade Commission,
openly advocated In Chicago ad-
dress the adoption of the cartel
methods in the effort of the United
States to gain world trade h, opeced
rather new line of thought for
American business men.
Chairman Davies, first aud fore
most, may set some folk thinking who
entertain the kindergarten idea that
all combinations are destructive TO
competition and necessarily opprt IS
the consumer. He calls to mind the
fact that there are certain advantag
es. especially in international con-
petition, that the combination may
make possible.
His citation of the cartel system is
interesting, because through that ar
rangement the product of German
commercial development, many Of
the beneficial results of cooperation
have been effected. And such de.
velopment In Germany. It should be
remembered has been unhampered by
the legal restrictions.
In English common law, in it's
earliest manifestations, any combina-
ton tending to restrict competition,
especially In the necessaries of life,
was penalized. American law of the
present day declines to recognize any
agreements OF this nature. That idea
Is thoroughly imbued In the Ameri-
can mind that 1t may be a surprise
to know that there are no such limi-
tations in Continental Europe.
Perhaps on that account the devel-
opment Of European trusts" has
been along different lines than ours.
Therefore, 1t should not be concluded
that in advocating the cartel system
Mr.. Davies necessarily defends the
trusts as we have them. The cartels
OF Germany are different from any.
thing We know.
They represent consolidation ra-
Their than cooperation. They repre-.
sent other ideas than the mere regu,
lation Of prices by agreements. lndi-
vidual management is encouraged,
and competition is effectually stifled
by the assignment of certain amounts
OF business to each concern Which be-
comes part of cartel system.
Underlying the cartel is the same
idea of saving in the cost OF pro
duction which makes many OF the
great American combinations posi-
BILE. Whether the American system
of having a single control or the Ger
man system OF cooperation with indi
vidual management retained, mean.
the highest efficiency remains to bC
seen.
or one thing students Of the Ger
man systems are convinced. Tn,
cut throat" competition feature Il
eliminated, employment thus is stan
dardized and there are fewer periods
OF reckless production followed b,
long periods of reaction ana unem
. ployment.
Chairman Davies, suggestion a
: least is of value in directing atten
: ton to the marked difference be
, tween German commercial dev, lop
ments and our own. Since both stu
ations probably represent stagcs., ri
Their than the ultimate end d .,t;l
} development they are all the NOR,
worthy of study.
