acted an amendment to the prohibitory

WASHINGTON, May 1.-The fedcr-
al trade commission yesterday issued
complaint against the Standard Oil
company of Indiana, charging viola
ton of the Trade Commission act pro-
hibiting unfair business practices and
also Of the Clayton antitrust law.
As an infringement of the Clayton
act the complaint asserts that the com
pany is discriminating in prices among
different purchasers of petroleum prod
ucts and THAT the effect of this dis
elimination may be substantially to
lessen competition or tend to create
monopoly IT is charged also that
the company fixes different prices in
different sections, selling its products
at q lower price in highly competitive
areas.
Among allegations set forth is that
the company supplies retailers with
gasoline and kerosene, delivering it to
their tanks at wholesale rate, but,
where the retailer does not handle this
company's products the company sells
directly to the consumer at wholesale
rates. Complaint is made of system Of
rebates in the guise of paying retail
ers rentals for use of apparatus 1t Is
charged that the surplus of goods is
sent out of the district to Standard Oil

Reports from France credit the Amer
ican Indian with being able to dis
tinguiSh B0che camouflage trees from
real ones with the same facility that
the seagoing gull discerns fish from
a rowboat. A background of centur-
les of forest-trained ancestors, men
who traced the deer and bear by their
tracks through undefbrush, and read
their way through trackless wood
land by the compass of their sur
roundingS, is proving valuable in
France to-day.
Whole sets of miniature trees are
moved up by the Boche In the night
to conform with certain movements,
the trees concealing machine gun
nests and observation posts. But Pri-
vate Jim Rain-in-the-Face isn't fooled
even for one little half-spurt in an
