Of the Stephens-Ashurst bill This

dishonest advertising and false pre-
lenses in merchandising"
The bill will legallze standard, uni
form prices and prevent price cutting
of trade marked goods by big city
stores for the purpose of giving the
false impression that all their other
articles are proportlonately low.
Price cutting is merely bait to lure
customers so that articles of inferior
merit may be substituted at high
prices.

EVERYTHING WHITE
ON ACCOUNT OF WAR

ATLANTA, Ga, March 27.-Accord-
ing to local experts, the famine in dye
stuffs, owing to the war in Europe, is
soon going to become such a serious
matter in America that we may have
not only white hosiery, white magazine
covers, white carpets, but even if it
lasts long enough, white postage
stamps and white currency.
Next to preparedness and the nee /
of merchant marine, it is said tina.
the dye problem is really the most
far-reaching that the American ma
ton confronts.
Of course, Americans can make dyes,
but they are not the kind of dyes that
last, They fade and run and can't
stand either light or soap and water.
America has learned other craft Sc.
crets since the war, for instance the
making of needles, but she hasn't yet
got the secret of making fast dyes.

Less time than a week will be re-
quired by the United States Army en-
gineer service st1agpuller York to COM
plete the borings she is making in the
river at the point where the new Key
memorial bridge will be built. These
borings are being made to determine
the bottoms on which the stone piers of
the new bridge will be placed, and the
data obtained so far by the York show
that good foundation exists. A num-
ber of holes have been sunk through
the river bottom. and bedrock was
found within thirty feet. To determine
definitely that bedrock and not a boul-
der was struck the borings were sent
several feet into the rock.

Euxine. The remains Of many columns
and fragments of statuary testify to
the Importance and the wealth of the
city in those days. In the fourth CEN
tury Constantine the Great changed
the name of the port to Constantiana,
in honor of his sister. During the reign
of Theodosius it experienced an era OF
great prosperity as the metropolis of
Pontus. but after it passed under the
control of the Bulgars and later OF the
Turks its decline was rapid. In the
sso-Turkish war of 1912 It was bom-
barded by the Russians, and seventeen
years later surrendered to the. game
power without a blow in its defense.

familiarly known as Ovid. The poets
offense was the publication of "Ars
Amatoria," which enjoys the questiona-
BILE distinction, according to no less
an authority than the Oxford scholar,

by man Of genius. Augustus had be-

literature because he had been forced

This disgrace was followed by sec

notorious behavior of the younger
Julia, the emperor's granddaughter. AS
Socrates was charged with having cor
rupted the youth of Athens, SO Ovid
was deemed by Augustus as at least
in part responsible for the corruption
of youthful society in Rome. There
