SOFT DRINK COMPANIES
WAGING LEGAL BATTLE
COCA-COIAA COMPANY OPPOSES
USE OF THE NAME ''CHERO-
COLA" TESTIMONY TAKEN.

Litigation of considerable import
ance is going on between the Coca
Cola company and the Chero-Cola
company over the similarity, claimed
by the former, between the words
Chero- Cola, in block type letters, and
Coca-Cola in script letters.
All of last week was consumed
in taking testimony in Atlanta.
The Chero-Cola company applied to
the United States patent Office FOR
registration of the hyphenated word
"Coca-Cola" printed in plain block
type, which, it is claimed by them,
would make it entirely different from
the registered mark of any other cola
beverage. The fact was further cited
that it is and has been the policy f
the Chero-Cola company to sell it's
product only in bottles making no
sales of syrups in bulk to fountains.
This idea was, as is set up in their
argument, to prevent any other cola
beverage being substituted for Chero-
Cola and to prevent this drink being
sold for any other beverage. 1t is
held that every bottle contains dis
tinctive four-color label, wholly UNI
like any label used by bottlers of any
other cola beverage, and a cap or
crown of entirely different nature.
The United States patent office al
lowed the Chero-Cola company to
register this name, whereupon the
Coca-Cola company filed objection to
the registration, alleging that the two
names are so similar that the public
would be deceived in purchasing
Chero-Cola.
The patent office allowed testimony
to be taken which would tend to
show, pro and con, deceptive similar
ity and confusion between the two
trade marks, or trade names, and
during the past week testimony along
this line has been taken by commits
sioner. one side of the case being
concluded Saturday. Testimony of
the Chero-Cola company, in the ma
ture of rebuttal, will be taken within
the next month.

ness Was Overcome by Applying
Little Thought

We spent weeks and weeks after
we had got our new home on paper
in planning the color scheme and the
wall decorations. and in deciding just
how we could make our old furniture
fit into its new environment, remarks
writer in the Houston Post. We had
started out ten years before with mis-
sion furniture-it is so satisfactory in
living room when there are growing
chiidren-and 50 we shut our eyes to
the delight of the colonial mahogany
and white paint. and built our room
around the old things.
We had the woodwork stained dark
brown and a brown paper with light
er brown figure in il put on the walls
The fact curtains were cream scrim
and the overhangings were brown
easement cloth.
There were three windows at each
esld of the room, and a French window
opened on the porch at each side of
the fireplace. So the room was very
light. but somehow when we got this
far we were disappointed-it wasn't
the cheerful. coy room we had
planned.
After studying the problem for
some time we decided that it was too
heavy looking, and SO much brown was
monotonous. 1t lacked living color.
We wished we had chosen a CAV
chintz for hangings instead of the
plain brown But as we hadn't
thought of it till too late we set about
bringing the rooms to life with the
remaining furnishings.
We bought two wide wicker chairs
and cushioned them with cretonne in
which there were old blues, gold and
orange, with touches of black and
white. We bought tail wicker floor
lamp-there is nothing that softens
room like wicker-and i put a lin
ing of the cretonne under the shade.
l made orange shades for the side fix
lures and bought two or three pieces
of the bright painted tin that Is In
vogue Just now, one gorgeous yell

ADAPT FASHION TO PERSON
Woman Who Follows Ediets Too

Good Appearance.

Suppose you have wide, awkward

adopt the pannier skirt and give your
self the appearance of awkwardness
the extra fullness is bound to pro-
ducef or, il you are five feet ten. will
you wear your skirts so many inches
above your boot tops that you will of
necessity appear absurd--like a lamn
post in rufIie?
Not in appearing conspicuously t1ff-
ferent or overemphasized lies the
charm of dress. Not in following tho
mode so slavishly that you look like a
replica of everybody else you meet
lies any of beauty; but in so adapting
current fashions that they seem to be-
long to you rather than you to them.
So. too, for hats. A tiny little tur-
ban pulled down over small and ex-
pressionless eyes and topping a long
ili-shaped nose only accents the lack
of beauty of the features below IT,
While a large. graceful hat may throw
kindly shadows over a tired or hollow

Want HIM RANKED
ASLIEUTENANT

Quietly and without the blare of
trumpets several influential friends of
John Philip Sousa, the famous band
master at the Hippodrome, are endeav-
oring to have the president honor the
March King by appointing him to the
rank of lieutenant OF marines, on the
retired list. .. 49,.
While MIR. Sousa was long bandmas-
ter OF the U. s. Marine Band in Wash
ington and served brilliantly in that
capacity through the term of four
presidents he was never given a COM
mission. After he retired his success
sor, through special act of Congress
was given the rank of lieutenant OF
marines, and Mr.. Sousas supporters
think that the bill should be antedat.
ed so that he could enjoy the same
distinction, in recognition of his years
of service dedicated to the country.
MIR. Sousa has been decorated by the
king of England, and many European
countries have honored him during his
worlds tours but up to the present
time his own country has not official
ly bestowed an honor upon the pop
ular composer and bandmaster. Those
who are interested in the project, plan
to have the bill presented in Congress

If Guardsmen Make Progress
on PunchboW Range Ter
ritory May Send Team

Upon the regularity Of practise and
the skill in rifle shooting developed
among members of the National
Guard of Hawaii this Spring and sum-
mer depends whether Hawaii shall
send a team to the mainland this year
to compete with the best shots OF the
organized militia, the army and the
navy for honors with small arms.
The long trip and the heavy expense
makes IL almost a certainty that no
team will go from here to Jacksonville
unless there is a very good chance that
in the team matches and in individual
shooting the Hawaiians will land near
the top, If not at the top of the list.
The showing last year of the National
Guard team from the territory was
good, but it will have to be even bet.
ter, in prospect, to warrant the same
expenditure this year. With the.
splendid Punchbowl range to practise
en-, officers of the guard think some
of the men who are now crack shots
should make the best in the country,
and that those who have now no rec.
crds as marksmen should advance to
the second rank at least before next
fall.
