he could appreciate the visions of love-
illness at home. And Marie? She did
love finery as much as peacock does
but compassion wrought great change
in her.
Adam had married Marie in little
Louisiana town after the way pre-
scrlbed by common law before the war
But he began to tire of her and when
the war came along he thought it an
excellent opportunity to get rid of the
little girl of his careless fancy. So
Adam enlisted.
Under pressure of patriotism, Adam
finally consented to marry the girl, and
the ceremony was performed shortly be-
fore he left for France. The home serv-
ice secretary of the Red Cross had per-
suaded the man to submit to the mar
rage But after Adam had gone and

The commission, however, will not
hesitate in its investigation of the pack

Chairman Colver, is charged by law
with seeing that an American business

Watson Is Refuted,

In connection with this statement,
Chairman Colver reviewed the activities
OF the trade commission to disprove the
assertions OF Senator Watson's per-
sonal defender, Senator Penrose Of
pennsylvania. Penrose In defending
Watson, insisted the commission had
been the subject Of general attack from
almost everyone, and had been attacked
In almost every kind OF profance Ian
guage, Penroe's statement. II conceded
TO have been true, would have put the
commission in very poor light, and
Colver's reply therefore could not have
been other than q reply to both Wat
son and Penrose.
The commission has had ,45S COM
plants brought against business firms
throughout the country, he said Com
petltors of these firms contended they
were being dealt with unfairly, After
examination, VA OF these cases wer,
dismissed; SS9 are still IN process Of
preliminary investigation, and IN the
remaining 800 gases, the commission In
sututed formal proceedings or 20S
complaints brought, only 25 were dis
missed because of lack of evidence. Elk
cept in these 20S cases, the contention
OF the government has not been passed
upon as yet
"Of the remaining 1S3 cases, the or
der of the commission TO cease and de-
slst was issued and here comes what |
believe to be one OF the greatest ex
amples Of the inherent fairness of the
American business man." said Colyer.
For out of the 1873 cases where the

ing, and after having brought home
to 1t the consequences. often unsuspect-
cd, Of its conduct upon competitors, 1855
OF the respondents have voluntarily
agreed to accept the order to cease and
stop the bad practice
Thus we find that the federal trade
commission, seeking to administer fair
and just law and dealing with fair and
just people in spirit Of fairness and
equity, finds n minimum Of controversy
and a maximum of accommodation.

Attack Commission.

These men have charged the com
mission with conspiracy and what
amounts to treason. The charge made
by Senator Sherman OF Illinois has been
answered and proof has been chal-
lenged. Instead of proof We get new
charges. Employees OF he commission

vism.

their charges, ! challenge them again

proof
This is not new. Go to a public
library and get the bound files of any
newspaper covering May and June Of

charges, these very phrases--about So
cialism and anarchy (the typical Wat
son charges) and destruction Of export
trade--all applied to the then president
Of the United States, Theodore Roose-
welt. His fault was that he was urging
the passage of a meat inspection law

when the fight reached it's climax, SEN
ator Henry Cabot Lodge arose In the
United States senate and said
What has been the history of that
group of men who run those packing
establishments? 1t has been a history OF
utter defiance of law and Of public
opinion. But | say. and say it in all
seriousness, that those packers in Chi.

MERE COMMON SENSE.
Vocational Reeducation Sounds I'M
posing But it is Really Simple
Thing
WASHINGTON, Feb. ether

WASHINGTON, Feb. -"Therc
is no mystery about the work of re-
training war disabled men, so as to
make them efficient today" declared
DR.. Charles A. Prosser, director OF
the federal board for vocational ed
ucation. at is simply the applica-
ton of good common sense education
and good judgment. 1t is merely the
utilization of the abilities remaining
to the disabled man, which can be
so trained as in most cases to be just
as effective if not more so, than the
ones which he lost by reason OF LIS
injuries.
1T is surprising the number of
things a man is capable Of doing.
If he has been engaged in an occu-
patton which requires the use of his
leg, such as operating a foot power
press, we do not throw away his
trade knowledge, but he is educated
to use his hands or perhaps the stump
of his leg by means of a special
adjustment, and can continue doing
that which he knows best just as well
as before he received his injury, or if
he is disinclined to continue that
work, he is reeducated for some 9TH
Ell phase of the same industry which
he knows well, and which appeals to
him, thus preserving his trade know
ledge.
"This reeducation is given in the
various industries and factories as
well as in the leading technical and
trade schools of the country. 1t is
absolutely free to the disabled man;
if he is single, he is given $65 g
month support fund, all other ex-
penses being paid, and if married or
there are other dependents, a larger
allowance is made.
"The federal board for vocational
education is anxious to get in touch
with all disabled, discharged men. and
will gladly correspond with them
about their cases. The address is
simply Washington, D. c."

few minor points remain to be
clinched before a clear case that can
be proved In court is made out.
Detective Isaac Mindheim of the De-

the automobile has been located. His
assertion was corroborated by Detective
Thomas Meringolo and Detective Ser
geant Frank Nirelli of the Connecticut
State police, both of whom also have
been at work on the murder. All,
however, refused TO reveal anything
concerning the whereabouts either of
the alleged murderefs =, or the auto
mobile or the manner in which
they obtained their information. The
nearest they would come to parting with
their information was to say that four
ex-convlcts were the messengers slayers.
