in the aviation training camp at
Champaign interesting. He writes:
Our day is from 5:45 a. m. to

licemen.
Every day starts new course and
likewise every week. Civilian and

TRADE BODY ASKS
LAW TO WIPE OUT
BUSINESS BRIBE'

Washington, May 16.-Enactment
Of "a sufficient law striking at the
unjustiffable and vicious practices
of commercial bribery" was urged
en- campaigns today by the federal
trade commission.
Each person participating in any
such transaction should be reached
by a criminal stature in the opin-
ion of the commission who recount
ed that investigation has revealed
commercial bribery to be general
throughout many industries. Scores
of complaints have been issued
against firms guilty of the practice.
but the commission, having no
criminal Jurisdiction, has been un-
able to punish individuals, and has
had to deal with commercial bri-
berry only as an unfair method of
competition.
1T should be noted" says the
commission, THAT the practice APP
pears to have been most general on
the part of concerns introducing the
goods and wares to German firms. 4"
The commissions recommenda-
tions said in part:
These brides take the form of
commissions for alleged services,
of money and gratuities and enter
tainments of various sorts and of
lOans-all intended to influence such
employees in the choice of materials.
The commission feels that the
stamping out of commercial bribery
is one necessary step to the pre-
servation of free, open and fair
competition and to that end re-
specially urges that such legisla-
ton should prohibit not only the
giving and offering. but the accept
ance and solicitation of any gift
or other consideration by an en-
Ploye as an inducement or reward
for doing any act in relation to his
employers affairs or business

SPECIAL POLICE
IN EAST MOLINE
FOR FINAL ORGY

A score of special policemen
will patrol streets of East Moline.
and enter bars when necessary, in
order to maintain as much quiet as
possible tonight. when the final
hours of the legalized retail liquor
traffic arrive.
Chief Schafer announced today
that yesterday and today the police
prosecuted war againt the vag-
rants in order to get them out of
the way and off of the streets. 1t is
figured that by Kidding the thor
oughfares and the saloons of the
buns. a large step towards con-
trolling the situation tonight has
been taken.
Because of the fact that East Mo-
line is the last stamping grounds
of the liquor trade in the county, II
is expected that there will be q
heavy business and many will be
attracted not so much by reason OF
the opportunity to drink, If there
will be any for those who do not ar
rive, but to be on hand to witness
the events.
A man reSlUlHS on SeNeHLeeHlH
avenue in East Moline, one evening
recently kept count of the num-
Der of automobiles passing east be-
tween the hours of 1890 and 11:3O
at night. His tally was 400 This
figure is better appreciated when it
is know that fully seven automo-
biles per minute passed his house
for one solid hour, or one about
every eight seconds.
East Moline has become accus-
toned in the last two weeks to an
abnormal number of visitors. To-
morrow the city will awaken to the
fact that it must adjust itself to a
new condition of affairs.
