ALL TRUSTS BAD,
u. 5. ARGUES In
HARVESTER CASE
Brief Filed in Supreme
Court Denies Benevolent
Monopoly Is Legal

Washington, Feb. 1.-The govern
ment to-day fled it's brief in the Su-
preme Court in the dissolution suit
against the international Harvester
Company, It's officers and directors, APP
pesled from the Federal court in Min
nesota, which ordered the dissolution
Of the company.
There is no such thing as a good or
benevolent trust within the meaning
Of the Sherman law, the government
contends, and all combinations which
break down the competitive system are
in restraint of trade.
Fears Future Malevolence
After an exhaustive review Of au-
thorities and Of declarations made By
Senator Sherman, author OF the meas
ure, at the time Of its passage, the
brief continues:
"It Is apparent that the objection to
substituting a despotie organization OF
industry for the competitive system
were quite as much social and political
as economic; and therefore it would
not have satisfied Congress to be told,
as We are told In this case, that the
power which they feared was thus far
being exercised benevolently, that
prices had not yet been increased, nor
wages lowered, nor the quality Of prod
uets degraded, nor competitors OPP
pressed. In their minds the mere ex-
istencs Of such powerful combinations
was an evil, a continuing danger, from
which in the long run, If not immedi-
ately, would come disaster.
For, as in the organization Of gov
eminent, benevolence can never justify
absolution, neither can IL do so in the
organization of industry. The funds-
mental contention Of the defendants
that the antitrust law prohibits only
combinations injurious to the public

CAN'T OWN CATS.

A recent novel decision of the De-
partment of Justice relates to the
legal status of the cat. The inquirer
wished to know if a cat can legally
be considered property The Attor-
ney Generals Office, after ascertain
ing from the Century Dictionary that
a cat is "a digitgrade, carnivorous
quadruped of the family Felidae,'
and also "a gossipy, meddlesome
woman given to scandal and intri-
gue," replied that assuming the for
mer type of cat to be in question, a
cat is an article of property only in
Connecticut. In other States dog,
deer or corpse may be property, but
so far the court records seem to have
practically ignored the cat. In view
of certain kinds of cats being consid-
cred of decided value by their own
ers, the Attorney General is of the
Opinion that in the future the cat
will be given the right by the courts
to be considered property.

UNCLE SAM WANTS SEVERAL
"TYPEWRITERISTS."

Immediate steps will be taken by
Paris civil service officials to round
up all stray typewriter operators and
stenographers who are Eat liberty"
or who would like a change from
their present positions, to go to
Washington and work for Uncle Sam
in the departments engaged in car
gram. Ten thousand operators and
stenographers are needed at once.
Entrance salaries range from ST.
900 to 81, 200 per year, according to
the efficiency of the applicants, Mr.
VIM. Clark, local civil service secre-
tary, said, with an opportunity for
reasonably rapid promotion for those
whose services prove satisfactory.
Mr.. Clark added that while eXamina-
tions are now being held weekly in
many different parts of the country,
arrangements can easily be made to
hold test at any accessible place
and at any time where a small class
of applicants can be had.
The Civil Service Commission at
Washington has notified each of its
5000 examination boards that they
should put forth their very best eff
forts to secure these urgently needed
workers, as early as possible. 1t is
understood that when an applicant
is passed he or she will be sent i'm
mediatefy to Washington and assign
ed to one of the government depart
ments. Both men and women are
eligible for examination.
Any Paris operators or stenogra-
pliers to whom the proposition ap-
peals can secure any information de-
sired from Mr.. VIM. Clark at the Fed
eral building.

OF INTEREST TO AUTOISTS

Tire neglect in winter is RESPONSE
BILE frequently for absolutely unnec-
essary purchases in the springtime
and inasmuch as economy is now
foremost in the minds of all motor
lists, the millionaire as well as f1ivver
owner, the B. F. Goodrich Rubber
Company gives the following sugges.
lions for tire care during the winter
months:
Tires should be removed from
wheels and outside of the castings
washed with soap and water to re-
move all traces of oil. Injuries should
be looked for; repairs made if any
are needed. The tires should be laid
fiat in a cool, dark room after being
wrapped in clean cloths or preferably
black paper.
Tubes should be taken out of cast
ings, slightly inflated and also laid
fiat in cool, dark place with nc
Weight on them.
eff the tires are not removed from
the wheels, jack up the car, leaving
only enough air in the castings TIC
keep the tire tight and in shape.
Cars chould not be left for any con-
siderable period of time without
lacking up the wheels as the prolong-
ed strain on the tires tends to stretch
them and develop weak places in
their structure"

WRITE ON ONE SIDE OF PAPER
ONLY,

THE NEWS desires to again ad-
monish contributors to it's columns to
write on one side of the paper only.
This applies to advertisers copy, as
we'll as the news articles.
1t has been mentioned so often in
print that copy" for newspapers
should be written on one side of the
paper only, that it was supposed ev-
erybody knew the rule. The rule is
so we'll established in newspaper
offices that no one ever thinks OF
looking on the reverse side of sheet
unless the word lover" appears at
the bottom to call attention to it.
But the safest and only way is to
write on one side only. Observance
of this rule will do away with much
annoyance, and possibly loss on both
sides.

Newspapers of the United States
were praised for their loyalty to the
government in an address by Baron
Megata, head Of the japanese mis-
sion in this country, at a luncheon
of the Japan Society of America at
San Francisco. However, some papers
in both Japan and the United States
have lent themselves, probably un-
consciously. to unfriendly propagan-
da, he said. He urged a better un-

Mississippi is land of romance

furnished some famous men who have
had spectacular careers. Mississippi
was found by old world explorers
to have a fine climate and many fas-

Soto, Joliet, Marquette, Iberville,
Bienville and LaSalle had a vision"
of the civilization of Mississippi of
to-day. Mississippi has had one hun

At Gulfport is railway pier ex-
tending one mile into the Mississippi
Sound. 1t gives dockage facilities to
foreign vessels and makes the harbor

State, and south to the Panama
Canal region Gulfport is thus. fam

The city of Gulfport has attractive
homes, fine churches and schools, and
an aggressive, wide-awake people.
She has also about her fruit lands

nature in devising color schemes
that are inconspicuous. Just as the
spotted coat of the leopard, which
seems so striking in a cage, blends
with the dappling of sunlight and
shadow in the jungle, so a new way
of painting ships with spots makes
them almost invisible against the
contrasted lights and shadows of a

NEW CONCRETE HOUSE.

Concrete as building material
goes through many forms and phases.
Not long ago interest was centered
on Mr.. Edison's proposal that con-
crete houses could be built very rap
idly and cheaply by pouring the ma
terial into standard mOulds. A later
development consists in building the
concrete house by moulding the
concrete into planks and joists,
and using them in much the same
way as wooden planks. 1t is said
that this method is less expensive
than the block system. The "planks'
are REINFORCED with steel wire, and
the floor joists with steel bars The
projecting bars are used to lock the
parts together. instead of nails.

learned today.
The entire power of the government
and the resources of the nation are to
be concentrated in a gigantic building
program to beat the submarine.

shipping board and the administration
will be pushed to the limit. It is hoped
that the appropriation asked will be

as they are necessary. Will be taken
over by the government to speed the
building program.
Work on private contracts Will be
stopped. Those holding contracts for
private supplies will be recompensed.
An appraisement board is to be organ
lied to pay a fair amount of damages
to individuals and corporations where
private work is stopped and the prod
uct of the plans taken over. All the
steel factories of the country will be
placed on government work. Supplies
for bridge building, for steel sky
scrapers and the making of small steel
articles will be halted and all available
plants turned to ship work. The coun-
ell of national defense has an inventory
OF all the steel. coal, iron and coke
