W. 6. Fitzsimmons. father Of Leo
Fitzsimmons.
Upon the testimony of the father
in police court next day that the
former wife had "vamped" his son,
the police court judge sentenced
Leo Fitzsimmons to 80 days in jail.
Mrs. Fitzsimmons forfeited a SIS
bail bond by not appearing in court,
and the judge issued a capias for
her. She learned, of the action lately,
it was said, and this morning gave
herself up. The divorce from Mr..
Fitzsimmons was obtained last July.
Mr.. Fitzsimmons was no sooner
released from the county jail upon
bond the day following his arrest
than he was served with another
warrant sworn out by the father
and charging him with lunacy.
Young Fitzsimmons obtained his re-
lease again.

The reason may be that Fatima
contains more Turkish than any
other Turkish blend. This would
mean, in other words, that instead
of containing too much Turkish as
straight Turkish cigarettes do, or
too little as in the poorer Turkish
blends, Fatima's famous blend con-
tains just enough Turkish just

Chicago, Oct. l6.-Louis F. Swift,

that the five big packers. by enlarg-
ing the scope of their business,
threaten to control the wholesale
grocery trade Of the country. The
allegations are contained in the
latest report of the federal trade
commission. Mr.. Swift's statement
reads in part:
"In the first place, the packers
do not control anything. Swift &
Co. is in active competition with all
other packers in the purchase and
sale OF every product bought and
sold.
Charge Absurd.
"The charge that the five pack
ers have divided the field, each spe-
cializing on certain lines, is absurd.
Swift & Co. handle only such pro-
ducts as logically result from being
in the packing business, and such
other products as can be handled
efficiently through its sales organ
ization and refrigerating equipment.

ducts amount to only little over ]

view from the summit, as the dome,
although not of commanding height,
is so situated that great stretches of
mountains can be seen, and it's lack
OF altitude makes it less subject to

ready has acquired a total OF 414,362
acres in the White mountains and IL
steadily adding to its holdings. In the
lands that have been acquired de.
structive numbering has been stopped.
and this means not only that the
sources of streams will be preserved
for all time, but that there will be
no devastation of the forested slopes
that are essential to the beauty of the
region. The government is working
out a policy that will allow the use
of the timbered lands for commercial
purposes, but at the same time will
not detract from their recreational adj
vantages. 1t is taking over the main
tenance of trails that have proved too
great a burden for altruistic clubs,
and it is giving intensive fire protec-
ton. That is the guarantee that for
many generations to come the White
mountain national forest will be pre-
served for the recreation of an in
creasing army of visitors among
whom the travellers on foot will be
more and more numerous.
The White mountain national for

Of which every American citizen may
consider himself a part owner. 1t Is
one of the great national reservations

treasures invite all, especially the
