Commissioner of Internal Revenue
Roper soon will begin making ap-

which becomes effective in January,
1920, under the Eighteenth Amend

1t was said today that Mr.. Roper
would confer with the Senators from
each State before announcing his ap-
pointments. Whom the Maryland
Senators have recommended or may
recommend Is not known. 1t is pos
sible that neither has yet been con-

is highly desirable, though it's re-
sponsibilities will be heavy and it's
risks OF such a nature as to require
the services of man of courageous
determination and stern resolve.
Each prohibition commissioner will
be allowed to select stan of Of

provided ample means for the en-

It was the recommendation of
Commissioner Roper that the en-

HUSTON THOMPSON

The work OF the Federal Trade
Commission in suppressing blue
sky schemes and wild cat stock was
described last night by Huston
Thompson. Federal trade commits
sioner, before the members of the
Washington Association of Credit
Men, meeting at the Commercial
Club.
Mr.. Thompson explained that the
Federal Trade Commission was
merely the umpire between compet-
ing businesses. and that the only
rule of the game was that all un-
fair competition was prohibitive-
He said there were 1876 complaints
filed last month with the commission,
and out of a total of 1,400 cases sub
mitted to the commission, $50 were
investigated and dismissed without
publicity.
"CAnt Catch wallingfords.,
'Tt is impossible for the States to
reach out and control the walling-
fords,' declared Mr.. Thompson.
Federal control is necessary.
There is no isolation in business
today. AS space and time have been
contracted by modern inventions, Sc
has business expanded to the limits
of the universe. Should there not
then be an international trade COM
mission to maintain fairness in trade
between the nations of the world?
Mr.. Thompson said that federal
trade commissions in England, Can
ada, New Zealand, Australia, and
Denmark were being modelled after
the Federal Trade Commission of the

Plan Praised by Swedish Doc.

Home Course.

NEW YORK, Oct 23.-That sex
education will be introduced into the
high schools tof Sweden, so that young
men and women may be taught the
truth, was the statement of Dra Alma
Sundquist TO the International Con-
ference Of Women Physicians yester-
day. Dr. 2ondquist, a member " the
Royal Commission of Sweden, said a
program had been arraSged for com.
pulsory sex education in the schools s
and the army and navy of her coun-
try. She went on: -
The main thing in the schools is
to show the children that they may
talk earnestly and openly about these
matters, and that they haves.a right
to ask questions. We intend to in
troduce sex education into the high
schools, and we believe the subject
should be taught by the teacher OF
biology. We believe that the young
people should be told the whole truth .
Dr. Eugene Swan said he did not
believe in public school preceptors
teaching sex education, because they
know nothing about it," He said this
subject should bertaught in the hNme
and by those who understood II. He
continued:

TO FIX RAIL WAGES
WITHIN FEW WEEKS

The question OF wages for railroad
workers will be settled by the Govern
ment before the railroads are returned
to their private owners. it was learned
at the railroad administration Offices
today.
The board OF railway wages and
working conditions is now preparing
its final report on the demands of rail-
road workers, it was stated today.
This report, covering the demands of
various classes of labor. will be sub
mitted to Director General Hines
within two weeks.
Director General Hines plans to
settle the question of wages satis-
factorily before Federal control ends.
in order that the railroads may go
back to their owners without impend-
ing labor trouble.
The first step in the final adjust
ment of railroad wages will come next
Wednesday. At that time Director
General Hines will meet with w. G.
Lee, president of the Brotherhood of
Railway Trainmen and Enginemen.
and his committee and present the re-
port of the wage adjustment board
Lee has called a meeting of his
committee to be held next Tuesday
Lee was optimistic today and stated
that he believed a settlement of the
wage question might be reached with
out serious difficulties, although he
pointed out that the committee held
full power to take any steps which
might be necessary to secure their
demands.
Director General Hines will meet
with the representatives of the rail-

SHE WOULD TEACH
PUPILS TO HALF
SOLE SHOES

Some good lady interested in the
schools of Washington has writ
ten to the Board of Education.
She tells of the ever-increasing
cost of shoes and in her letter
gives a little suggestion. -
"Why not" says she, organize
a class in half-soling and heeling
shoes? Almost everything else in
this line is done. Shoes are cost
ing much and 1 think lots of
money could be saved If our boys
knew how to mend their shoes.
The board heard the letter at it's
meeting yesterday and referred it
to Ernest l. Thurston, Superin-
tendent of Schools. He will look
further into the matter.
