SUPREME COURT ruling
CURB FOR ADVERTISERS
Decision Makes False Statements
Fraud Even When Full Value
Is Given for Money.

In defining more clearly than ever
before what constitutes dishonest ad-
vertising through the mails. the Su-
preme Court held. in effect. that ad-
vertisers. even though they give pur-
chasers value received for their money,
are guilty of fraud if by exaggerated
advertising propaganda they have led
clients to expect more. Officials de-
clare the decision will pave the way
to scores of prosecutions and make
possible the enforcement of a much
more stringent federal supervision of
mail advertising.
The opinion was announced by Justice
McKenna, reversing the district court
in southern Florida. which quashed an
Indictment against officials of the New
South Farm and Home Company. The
Indictment charged unlawful use of
the mails in selling ten-acre farms.
The Florida court held that if pur
chaser received his moneys worth eX-

Beyond Limits of Putting
In discussing what constituted
criminal offense under the statute gov
ernins the use of the mails, Justice
Mckenna said: Mere putting might
not be within it's meaning (of this,
however. no opinion need be ex-
pressed)-that is, the mere eXaggera-
tion of the qualities which the article
has; but when proposed seller goes
beyond that. assigns to the article
qualities which it does not possess,
does not simply magnify in opinion
the advantages which it has, but in
vents advantages and falsely asserts
their existence. he transcends the lin
its of putting and engages in false
representations and pretenses
When the Dretenses or representa-
tions or promises which execute the
deception and fraud are false they
become the scneme or article which the
statute denounces. Especially is this
true in the purchase of small tracts
for homes"

HAS RIGHT TO CUT PAY
OF AVIATION OFFICERS
Secretary of War Has Jurisdiction,
According to Controller of
the Treasury.

An echo of the recent shake-up in
the aviation section of the Signal Corps
of the army is found in an opinion of
the controller of the Treasury that it
is up to the Secretary of War, if he
so choose, to make deductions from
the pay of Capts. A. S. Cowan, William
P. Patterson and B. d. Foulois of the
aviation section as reimbursement for
overpay and allowances. Controller
w. w. Warwick declares that he has
no original jurisdiction. and that the
authority vests in the head of the
War Department. Later he may have
to decide whether the deductions are
just.
The stoppage proposed aginst Capt.
Cowan, former head of the Aviation
School. would apply to increase in pay
drawn by him from November %, 1919.
to July 20, 1915, under an act of March
-, 1913, which provides for increased
pay ard allowances for actual aviation
duty.
Capt. Patterson's Case.
Increased pay drawn by Capt. Pat
terson by reason of erroneous designa-
tion as junior military aviator from
September II, 1914, to the date of his
relief from such duty would be the
amount to be estopped. In the case of
1apt. Foulois the estoppage would af-
feet increased pay and allowances
drawn under the act of March ., 1913.
from April -, 1914, to July %, 1914.
and also 80 per cent increase of pay he
received as junior military aviator by
reason of the erroneous announce
ment that he was on duty requiring
him to participate regularly and fire.

Proposed Reforms.

The reforms proposed would be:
/. The courts summer vacation
would be reduced one week by requir-
ing it to begin work each year on the
first Monday in October instead of the
second. Since Chief Justice White be-
came head of the court the tribunal
has delayed it's adjournment for the
summer by more than two weeks OF its
own volition.

ing appeals in those where the mere

Elimination of Appeals.

@. Cutting off appeals as matter
of right in causes arising in the fhll-
ippine Islands and substituting instead
the privilege of applying to the court
for a review in it's discretion by
writ of certiorari."
At present where case is brought
to the court as a matter of right 1t
is not disposed of for more than two
years and consumes much time. If re-
view were only by "certiorari' appli
cation would be made for a review
one Monday, and if the court was of
opinion that no important question
was involved the application would be
denied the next Monday. and thus the
case finally disposed of.

Reduces Number of Cases.

This would greatly restrict the cases
now going to the court under the four
teenth amendment. which have grown
rapidly in the last two decades. The
courts power to review state deci-
sions in its discretion through appli-
cations for >writs of certiorari' would
be correspondingly increased
B. Cutting off appeals as matter OF
right in causes arising under the fed
eral employers liability law, the fed
eral hours of service law for raliroao
employees. the safety appliance acts
and the Elkins and Hepburn rate laws
The court would be clothed with au-
thority to review any causes under
these laws in its discretion by the issu-
ing of a writ of certiorari' upon
4. Restricting the appeals. in habeas
corpus cases by requiring the 9uase
in the trial court or justice of the
Supreme Court to certify that there is
probably cause for an appeal. At pres
ent such certificate is required In

LINCOLN'S ARMCHAIR.
It Had One Great Charm Despite Its
Eorlorn Condition.

There is an interesting story Of
turns on his habit Of sitting with his
long legs thrown over one arm Of his
chair. That was a habit common
among country lawyers sixty or seven
~ years ago. and Lincoln never got
over it.
Very fond of the ease he found in old
slippers. he would often meet his OH
cial family with them on his feet. and
during cabinet meetings he would
sometimes sit with one or both legs
dangling across the chair.
In the cabinet room was an arm
chair which from the constant batter
inc Of the presidential legs had CROWN
weak and seemed almost ready to
shake TO bits. \ few DAYS after Lin
coins second Inauguration there was a
cabinet meeting. and one Of the cabi
net ministers noticed the Old chair and
remarked on its rirkety appearance.
1t seems to me" he said us he gazel
down on the old wreck that stood al
the head of the table. that the United
States ought to furnish the president
with Il better chair than that"
Lincoln screwed w his face into a
cotnical smile.
