that the output of bicycles in the
United States increased 7O.7 per cent

At the same time the production Of
motorcycles increased in still great

motorcycles were produced, having q
value of $S,O15,9SS, while in 1914, the
output had increased to e2.793 motor

JUST THE CHILDREN MoURNE1
None Came to Claim the Body Of
Old George, the Cor

About us everywhere in the fiotsam
Of the human tide are drifting mystic
ries we accept without inquiry. There
are such people in Sacramento as "Old
George the cornetist," who recently
fell dead in New York city.
Day after day he appeared at the
same corner, offered his familiar tunes
to the admiring children and the some
times abjuring adults, and collected
the pennies wherewith to buy food,
clothing and shelter.
No one ever asked him his right
name, but the children loved him.
Then one morning, as Old George
raised his horn to his lips, it clat-
tered to the pavement, and the song
he was planning to give the crowd
ratified in his throat as lie toppled over
dead.
The children mourned him for sew
eral days. No one came to claim his

It's Valuable Now.

When William Jessup, who formerly
operated a wooden mill in Princeton,
died 20 years ago, he left among his
effects large keg Of Russian red dye
stuff. Each housecleaning time his son
in-law and daughter, Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles F. Woods, had to shift it
around. Woods had tried to sell it
to wholesalers in vain; they didn't
need it.

Mr.. Woods when they cleaned house
last summer.

it; I'm tired of looking at it," said
Mrs. Woods.
Being dutiful husband, Mr.. Woods
obeyed.
Now the Russian dye is said to be
unobtainable at any price, and the
amount that Mr.. Woods burned would
have netted at this time from $500 to

trade commission. The procedure is
purposely made as simple as possible.
The relief is aimed to be speedy. Red
tape is cut off and results obtained
by short cuts; hearings are held in
formally; complaints and those COM
planned against sit around the same
table with the commissioners. The
satisfactory part is that the spirit of
the commission has been accepted by
business to be a spirit of accommo-
dation and helpfulness. The good faith
of the commission has been accepted;
and the business interests which we
have come into contact with have
been open and fair in their desire to
accommodate themselves to the law.
The powers of the commission are
constructive and corrective. Only
through regulated competition can a
democracy sustain itself. The prob
lem is to introduce regulation with
out unnecessarily impeding and ham
pering the sensitive processes of bust
ness. To regulate competition certain
rules must be formulated and en-
forced. Because it is charged with
the duty of making rules for commerce
in channels of trade, the commission
has been called by some the traffic
policemen of interstate commerce. In
this role its business is to promote
the rights Of the smaller as well as
the rights of the larger business units
engaged in and using the highways
of commerce in the United States.
Nincty-five per cent of the corpora
tions of the country have capitaliza-
tion Of a million dollars or less; but
the remainder own one-seventh of the

ficient rivals might adopt.

MARBLES IN BRowNIELAND.

"The Brownies" commenced Daddy,
said that they wanted to have game
of Marbles-a real game, where at
least hundred Brownies played in it.
And then when they got the number
to one hundred they began to think it
was not a large enough number
"Iet's ask one hundred Gnomes to
play against u.s. suggested one
Brownie.
"'Good! That's fine!' they all cried.
"'And how about the fairies? asked
another.
Lets ask the Fairies to be the
Judges of our game, and we will ask
the Fairy Queen to give the prizes
"T didn't know we were going to
have prizes,' said another Brownie.
"'Well, we must, you know, if we're
to ask the Gnomes to play against us,
and if we're to ask the Fairy Queen
and the Fairies to Judge who wins the
game
"'All right they agreed, but we
must hurry with our invitations
"Six Brownies offered to take the
invitations to the Gnomes to play Mar
bles, and to the Fairies to Judge the
winners of the game. And these six
Brownies dressed up in their best
brown velvet suits with their brown
velvet helmets on their heads.
"They went in a different way than
they had ever gone before, and the
Gnomes and Fairies were so excited
at seeing them that for a long time
they could not understand what they
were saying.
''For, you see, the Brownies did not
walk or fly or crawl when they went
off with their invitations. Instead
they rode in carriages made of tiger
lilies, which were drawn by eight
green Toads.
"The Toads hoped along and drew
the carriages, and sometimes when
the carriages upset, the Brownies did
not, mind in the least, but got right in
again, after they had cried Whoa to
the Toads.
'And when they had told the
Gnomes and Fairies why they had
come, all were very happy and said
right away they would be delighted to
go to the Brownies game Of Marbles
in the afternoon.
"And sure enough, they all arrived
just at the very moment they were
asked for. And not to be outdone by
their fine hosts, the Brownies, the
Gnomes went to the game in big
automobile made of the roots of old
trees and lined with fresh green
ferns. They really had to help make
their automobile go-but it looked
very gay and like the cool green woods
and they had most impressive horn.
They had asked Mr.. Crow to sit on
one side of their automobile and to

way-and very often when they Just

bile was very, very large, and with a
number of Gnomes pushing every few
seconds and with Mr.. Crows horn, the

WILL HUNT "MAD" COYOTES
Uncle sam to Spend $75,ooo in Cam
paign Against Pest.

Uncle Sam is going to spend $4,000
in an effort to kill off the mad"
coyotes in the Western states. The ap-
preparation recently made has enabled
the bureau Of biological survey of the
United States department of agricul-
ture to put five inspectors and 100
hunters in the field, in addition to it's
existing organization. These men are
to serve in Oregon, Nevada, California
and Idaho, and along the border in
Utah.
The coyote has always been a pest
TO stockmen, but with the advent of
rabies it has become serious danger
to persons as well as to stock. In
many sections Of Oregon, Idaho, Cali
fornia and Nevada, parents are AFRAID
TO send their children 70 school unless
they are well guarded, and there is
always danger that domestic dogs will
be bitten by the mad animals and
spread the disease TO the families Of
their owners.

Residents of a certain street

of a marine recruit carrying a

glimpse. Two, older marines
met the recruit, took the UNI
brella from him, and broke 1t
up. paying not the slightest
heed to his plea that he had
purchased the thing Just ten
minutes before. Then the older
marines gave the recruit a lee
ture on military proprieties.
There is no service regulation

there is an unwritten law Of the

COYOTE FRIGHTENS THE TOWN
Savage Animal Finally Driven Away

Danger.

attacked two dogs at the residence OF
Thomas Dorithy.
Mrs. ]. Hardy, who was passing at
the time, narrowly escaped being BIT
ten when the coyote broke away from
the dogs and attempted to attack her.
The dogs pulled it down again, how
ever, before it reached her.
During the recess period it appeared
at the schoolhouse, but the children
chased it in body and frightened It
away. They were not aware OF the
real danger.
A number of hunters are securing
the hills close to town in an endeayor
to locate and kill the coyote.

BY JOSEPH E. DAVIES,

BY JOSEPH E. DAVIES,
Chairman Federal Trade Commission.
Not long ago two young men who
had saved some money out of
their wages, embarked in small man
ufacturing business themselves. They
found difficulty in procuring certain
raw materials as advantageously as
their former employer could. The
party furnishing the raw materials,
they said, had an understanding with
their former employer. This, they
claimed, was unfair competition.
They filed complaint with the fed
eral trade commission. After inves-
tigation it was ascertained that the
reasons assigned for refusing to fur
nish the raw materials were that the
young men did not have credit or
cash to buy. When this fact was
made clear, the young men arranged
to pay cash. Thereupon the party
complained against agreed not to dis
criminate against them further in any
way but to furnish them raw mate
rials on an equal basis with their
competitors. There was no formal
hearing, no long drawn-out litigation;
the young concern could not have
stood it. The whole matter was ad-
Justed within a few weeks and the
small industry afforded a chance, on
an even footing, to work out its sal
walton.
Another case. A large corporation
engaged in a certain manufacturing
practice which in a single state was
costing it's rival, an independent,
thousands of dollars every month. The
matter was taken up with the cor
poration alleged to be offending and
the matter settled. The offending cor
poration agreed to desist in its prac-
tice not only as to the single inde-
pendent directly affected, but as to
all others similarly situated. The
smaller company was saved. The large
corporation was not haled into court;
there was no publicity, no interfer-
ence with the normal course of busi-
ness; and the whole matter was dis
posed of speedily and satisfactorily.
These are typical cases illustrating
the daily routine work of the federal

U. S. EXPORTS FOR ONE

More Goods Shipped Abroad Than

The foreign trade of the United
States which has been growing in
leaps and bounds since the European
war began at last has broken all rec
ords of the world, according to Uncle
Sans official figures. Statistics made
public by the bureau of foreign and
domestic commerce, department of
commerce, show that $410,000,000
worth of goods was exported from the
United States in March, 1916-more
than any nation in the world ever
exported before in any one month.
The exports in this one month
were $113,OO0,OO0 greater than in
March, 1915, and nearly double the
average for that month for the pre-
ceding five years. For a period Of
nine months the exports exceeded by
more than $1,0O0O00,O0O the record
for the corresponding period of any
preceding fiscal year.
