S. A which some manufacturers
have been using, was found to mean
nothing to millions of foreigners, to
Chinese for instance, who speak only
their native tongue. American con-
sular officials frequently have urged
that Made in u. s. A." should be
written on the goods also in the Ian
guage of the country where they were
to be sold.
Another objection to the printed
mark has been that it was subject to
misinterpretation in British countries
where it might be taken to mean
Made in Union of South Africa" or
MADE in United States of South Aus
tralia"
While the first necessity for such
a trade mark is to protect American
goods in foreign countries, a very
important effect of its use will be to
insure that manufacturers sold I'm In
terstate commerce are kept up to
standard and are in fact what they
are represented to be by statesmen or
by advertising. 1t is the present In
tention of the Department of Com
merce, to restrict the use of the pro-
posed national trademark to such
manufacturers and in connection with
such commodities as viii meet certain
standards of trade practice, as well as
of quality. The proposal for a nation
al trademark has the endorsement of
President Wilson, to whom Secretary
Redfield submitted the first bill for
suggestion before it was introduced in
congress. Secretary Lane and Secre-
tary Houston also have been actively
! interested in the bill. Numerous com
mercial organizations, private citizens
and trade papers have approved the
| idea
| Many small manufacturers are un-
| able to enter the export market be-
| cause they cannot afford to go to the
expense of protecting their trade made
in the foreign markets. To these
| manufacturers, permission to use a
national trademark at a nominal fee
| would be a great boon. il such mark
were protected by the government
| throughout the world. 1t will also
be a boon to many larger manufac-
marks pirated in one or more foreign
| countries. In such countries these
! large manufacturers need only place
| the national emblem upon their
products. The foreign consumer
therefore will soon recognize that even
| goods bearing an American private
| brand are not necessarily American,
| unless such brand is accompanied by
the national trade mark.
| Small manufacturers are now at
quite a disadvantage as compared with
| large manufacturers because of the
| inability of the latter to expend huge
| sums in nationally advertising their
| products. The quasi-monopoIy Sc
cured IN this way by large manufac-
! turers Will be to a very large extent
| vitiated by permitting the small man
ufacturer of integrity to use upon
his goods of recognized quality the
national symbol which will be free
ly advertised throughout the world
to far greater extent than any pri-
vate trade mark ever could be.
American goods, rather than
Americans and their persons, are to
| be the correct means of winning
| friends for this country" is the opin-
ion of officials. The national trade
symbol IL properly exploited and used
should enable us to reach markets
and people as we have never before
done"

BIRTH AND DEATH
REGISTRATION IN
U. S. IS DETAILED

WASHINGTON, May 25,-The re-
cent inclusion of Hawaii has extended
beyond the limits of Continental Unit
ed States the area for which the Gen.
sus Bureau annually collects and pub
fishes death statistics. Within this
area now reside about 70 per cent of
the total population of Continental
United States and Hawaii. 1t COM
prises, in all, 81 states, 43 cities in
other states, the District of Columbia,
and the territory of Hawaii. East of
the Mississippi the only states not in
cluded are Alabama, Delaware, Flor
ida, Georgia, Illinois, Mississippi. and
West Virginia, while west of the Mis-
sissippi, the only statejs included are
California, Colorado, Kansas, Mime
sofa, Missouri, Montana, Utah, and
Washington.
The annual collection of death sta
tistics from states and cities main
tanning adequate registration systems
was begun by the Census Bureau IN
1902, the f1rest report covering the call
endar years 1900 to 1904. inclusive,
and for each succeeding year a sepa-
rate report has been published. The
original registration area contained 40
per cent of the total population Of the
country. 1t remained unchanged until
1906, since which year 1t has shown
an almost uninterrupted increase in
geographical extent and in proportion
of total population, until at present it
country's inhabitants.
In birth registration highly salts
factory progress has been made dur
ing the past two years. although there
are still a number of states in which
adequate death registration prevails
but in which the registration of births
has not yet reached a sufficiently close
approximation to completeness to JUS
tify the acceptance of the local rec
ords by the Census Bureau. The
birth registration area, as at present
constituted, comprises 10 states-the
six New England states. New York,
Pennsylvania. Maryland, Virginia.
North Carolina, Kentucky, Ohio, In
diana. Michigan, Wisconsin, Mime
sofa. Utah. and Washington-and the
District of Columbia. This area is
estimated to contain about 81 per
cent of the total population Of the
country. as against about 81 per cent
when the collection of birth statistics
was begun, little more than two
years ago, from an area comprising
the six New England states, New
York, Pennsylvania, Michigan. Min
nesota and the District of Columbia.
This growth, in so short a time, is
very gratifying indeed. 1t is, however.
unfortunate that in the United States
the registration of vital phenomena
has thus far depended. first. upon
adequate state or municipal legisla-
ton, and, second, upon the adequate
enforcement of that legislation. AS a
result, some states and municipalities
maintain efficient registration systems
while others do not. Until the matter
is placed under Federal control or SUI
pervision it is not likely that reliable
birth and death records, approximate
| ing completeness, win come into ex-
| istence throughout the entire United
States. Since the military registration
of June 5, 1917, the desirability of
maintaining such records has become
apparent to all.

Athletics

NEW YORK, May 25.-That ath-
letics continue to hold interest at the
eastern colleges is amply demon
strated by the remarkable entry list
received for the forty-second annual
championship track and field games
of intercollegiate Amateur Athletic
Association. Seventeen of the TWEEN
ty-eight institutions holding member
ship in the organization had entered
teams at the time of the formal clos
ing and this number is likely to be
augmented by several more at the

delphia on May 81, the opening day
OF the games. If the majority of the
delegates present vote in favor OF per-
hitting what would virtually be post
entries. Harvard and University of
Pittsburg athletes will surely be

It is not expected that the number of

TOBACCO PRICE
DISCRIMINATION
CHARGED BY
Five Concerns Arraigned by
the Trade Commission for
Practices Tending to
Create Monopoly.

Washington, Oct. 22.-Five tobac.
co corporations and a number oil
their officers and directors were
charged in a formal complaint to-
day by the federal trade commission
with price discrimination in the sale
OF cigarettes and other tobacco prod
ucts, tending to create monopoly,
unfair methods of competition,
under the maintenance of interlock-
ing directorates, and illegal con-
scription of control of producing
companies.
Those named are the Tobacco
Products Corporation of Richmond,
Va, the Melchranio Tobacco Trad
ing Company, New York; Schnasi
Bros. Inc, New York; the Pru-
dental Tobacco Co., Inc, New
York; the Falk Tobacco Company
Of Virginia, and George L. Storm,
Reuben Miller, L. B. McKitterick
and Leon Schinasi.
The defendants were ordered to
appear before the commission in
Washington on December 7 to show
cause why the corporations should
not be required to dispose of stock
held in violation of the Clayton
law.
The Tobacco Products Corpora
ton, the complaint alleges, acquired
all of the stock and capital of the
four other concerns, and also con-
trolls the Khedival company of New
York, the Standard Tobacco COM
pany, Inc, and Stephano Bros, Inc,
both Of Virginia; the Nestor Glands
company of Maine, and the Sur
brug company of New Jersey. 1t is
charged that the corporation with
the intent of sitting competition in
the manufacture and sale of tobacco
products concealed its ownership
and control of these corporations.
Further charges include payment
OF commissions under rebates to
dealers who advertised products of
these corporations. The corpora
ton, it is charged, for the last six
months has paid the Louis J. Liggett
company, owner of about 700 retail
chain stores, monthly commissions
equaling 5 per cent of products pur-
chased by it and has contracted to
pay this company further improper
commissions.

One by one the commission men
pleaded not guilty to selling Ne
braska grown potatoes, insisting that
their customers did not want them.

Wyoming, Idaho and elsewhere.
Several of them put the blame on
the Nebraska spuds, contending
that they are afflicted with dry rot
that prevents their keeping after be-
ing placed in storage.

Mr.. Wattles was armed with
proof that Omaha commission men
were in the market for the Ne
braska grown potatoes and produced
numerous letters telling Of prices
that representatives of the houses
were offering to growers and deal
ers in the western part of the state.
In some localities these prices were
as low as IS cents 100 pounds.
Inspector Jones of the food de-
partment, called to discuss the dry
rot problem, asserted that it ex-
listed some years ago, but is not
apparent at this time. He pro-
nounced the Nebraska potatoes ex-
cellent, comparing most favorably
with those of Colorado and Wyom-
ing. He stated that he could see
no reason why the potatoes of this
state should not be identical in quail
ity with those grown just over the
line in Colorado and Wyoming.

new, CRUSHING
BLOW IN SIGHT

is almost complete. The German
right flank has been swung back like
a gate all the way from Solesmes,
south of Valencienpes, to the Dutch
border. South of the pivot, however,
there has been little change on the
front from the Disc to the Mouse. 1t
has been noted that heavy concen-
tration of forces was made by the
Germans on the lie Cateau-Oise-
Serre front and also against the
American pressure northwest of
Verdun. Without question the re-
tention of these lines unbroken was
vital to the German plan of action.
Now that the withdrawal in the
north has progressed so fully, how
ever, it would cause no surprise here
i retirement between the Disc and
the Serre were undertaken without
delay, to rectify the whole line.
To many officers it seems possible
that now events have so shaped the
lines that a great drive may soon be
undertaken, calculated to upset the
whole German plan of retirement.
Already the allied lines have been
shortened so that considerable forces
must be available for the work, par
ticularly British. The time cannot
be far away also when the Ameri-
can second army, under Major Cen
eral Billiard, will be put into play.
Time for New Stroke.
To some observers it seems posi-
bic that a wide attack may be made
by the two American armies, both
east and west of the Meuse, the
thrust being aimed at the great rail
artery passing through Sedan and
Montmedy, A cooperating French
assault west of the Argonne would
naturally be part of such thrust.
To other officers, however, recent
French raiding operations in Al
SAGE seem to have significance. Ap-
rarently information is desired as to
the German strength on that front
and as to the character and quality
of the troops there. Such raids in
variably precede offensive opera
tons, although they rarely disclose
by their locality the exact place Of
the proposed attack,
So far as the German peace over
lures are concerned, army officers
hold that manifestly now is the time
of times for a new and crushing
blow. With the hope of early peace
being dangled before the eyes of
the war-weary German troops their
morale will be at its lowest ebb, it
was said, while in the allied and
American ranks the roundabout
German submissions of defeat can
only have given new zest for the
fight.
