NEW BRITISH MEASURE
FOR CURBING PROFITEERS

The House of Commons on August
10 passed, by vote of Isl to s, the
second reading Of the Government bill
authorizing the prosecution of persons
guilty of profiteering. Practically the
only criticism of the bill is said to have
been due to the fact that it was regard
ed by some members as not stringent
enough to reach all offenders. In view
of the fact that the bill provides for the
prosecution and Imprisonment of all
persons who charge excessive prices,
and empower the Board of Trade to
investigate prices, costs, and profits,
whether wholesale or retail, and to fix
and declare reasonable prices. it is ap-
parent that the British law-making au-
thorities, although usually extremely
conservative in taking up new legisla-
tive expedients, have no hesitancy in
the matter Of public price fixing and
profit limitation, and are determined
to deal directly and effectively with
the evil of extortionate profits.
Here is wholesome example for
America. We need general price-fix-
ing or profit-laniting commission fully
as much as Great Britain does. No
doubt much can be accomplished in the
way Of curbing profiteers by publicity
as to cost prices and cooperative action
in endeavoring to persuade merchants,
manufacturers. and middlemen to be
content with only reasonable profits;
but unless such efforts are followed
up and supplemented by the enactment
and enforcement of laws providing for
price or profit limitation by some pub
lie commission created for the purpose.
and by making It serious crime to
violate the orders Of such commission,
il IS difficult to see how there can be
any prompt, general, and permanent
correction Of the existing high-price
evil.

SENATOR POINDEXTER SAYS
PRESIDENT is FRIENDLY
TO BOLSHEVISM

Senator Poindexter of Washington
repeated in the Senate yesterday a
charge previously made by him against
President Wilson to the effect that the
President is friend Of the Bolshevists
Of Russia. Not only. the Senator said,
did the President look upon the repre-
sentatives of the BoIshevist Govern
ment" with admiration, but ''he ap-
proved their terms of peace made at
Brest Litovsk and 'he was using his
influence as the chief officer Of the
Government to bring about similar
terms Of peace between the United
States and its associate powers against
Germany"
Another indication of the Presidents
Bolshevist leaning, according to the
Senator, is his attitude in regard to the
Moony case. Senator Poindexter cites
a message sent by the President to the
Governor of California in which. as he
claims, the President said that COM
mutation Of sentence would have a
most heartfelt effect upon certain IN
terna6onal affairs. On this point the
Senator says:
1T is well known that the agitation
for the Communication Of Mooney. 50
far as the impetus which attracted the
attention of the country was concerned
originated not in the United States but
in St. Petersburg. ii the Bolshevist
Government Of ST. Petersburg.
While honest criticism Of an Admin
istration may at times be justifiable
and desirable. these statements Of Sem
ator Poindexter BY no means come
Within this category. The view is not
widely held that Mooney did not have
a fair trial. A recent Government in
vesbgation strengthens this view And

TURKS KILLING GREEKS
AND DESTROYING VILLAGES

A report comes from Saloniki to the
effect that the Greek villages Of Thante
and Kermeni have been surrounded by
Turkish marauders and that the inhab-
itants, who refused TO give themselves
up, were killed by the British troops.
The number of Greeks killed is un-
known. In the case of Kermeni, the
report says. French troops arrived in
time to save some of the inhabitants.
The situation in Thrace, the dispatch
says. is becoming more acute is spite
Of the fact that the Turkish Govern
ment recently announced the removal
of Vice Prefect TyroIoi. Tyroloii. the
report says, is still in office and is con-
tinuing his apathy in the matter Of the
persecution Of Christians which is con-
stantly going on.
It is strange that after all Of Tur-
keys crimes and broken promises in
the past. the Allies should still attach
any good faith to her good professions
and promises.

DRY" BILL MODIFIED BY SENATE

The Judiciary Subcommittee of the
Senate, in considering the prohibition
enforcement legislation recently passed
by the House, has retained the general
House plan but has eliminated several
important House provisions and modi-
tied others. The subcommittee. (con-
sistlng of Snators Sterling of South
Dakota, Chairman Fall of New Mexico.
and Norris of Nebraska, Republicans
and Oveman of North Carolina, Walsh
OF Montana, and King of Utah, DEM
ocrats), has incorporated the amend
ments in the House Bill, and reported
the bill as amended by unanimous vote
to the full committee.
Among the amendments made bv
the subcommittee the most drastic is
provision exempting from penalty
anyone manufacturing non-intoxicat-
ing cider and fruit juices exclusively
for use in his house" This amend
ment will permit home manufacture Of
light wines and cider for personal use.
Also stricken from the House Bill was
the provision making it unlawful for
persons to be intoxicated or to drink
liquor on trains, street cars, or other
public conveyances. Another modifi-
cation Of the original bill consists Of a
provision to the effect that reports of
manufacture, sale. and transportation
of liquor made to the Internal Revenue
Collector shall not be open to inspec-
ton of the general public but shall be
kept solely for the use of the Commis-
sioner of Internal Revenue. Also, IN
stead Of the House Bills unlimited pro-
vision Of funds with which to enforce
prohibition, the Senate subcommittee
has fixed the sum of $3,500,00O for
the first years enforcement work.

electricity. which penetrates deeper
than the bleaching cream, paying
special attention to the dark. spots
which are so disheartening to every
particular man or woman, desirous Of
looking their best. The electricity is
especially effective and beneficial to
the entire system. Next comes a
paste made Of bleaching lotion and
bleaching powder. This is spread all
over the face and neck and allowed to
dry. This is then removed and the
bleaching cream is applied using the
famous marinello movements so bene-
ficial for building up all conditions Of
the skin, including neck and shoulders.
Powder is now applied. and the re-
suit is pleasing in the extreme.
The bleaching treatment may be
taken two or three times week.
These treatments are especially good
for removing coat Of tan accumulat-
ed during the summer. and can be used
with extremely fine results for bleach
ing the arms and hands.
