He has the same broad chest, short, thick-set stature, the twinkling blue eyes look searchingly at one through thick lenses; the same large head, strong, powerful neck; the same capacity for hard work.
 At Versailles after Millerand had been officially invested with the powers of President of the French republic, the cor respondent of the Associated Press was one of large group of newspaper men with whom the President shook hands.

 'The objective of the department" Mir
 the profiteer, and second to make his field
 less attractive by educating the buying
 public to the wisdom of sane and sem sible buying
 The investigative branch of the depart
 ment, aided by the United States attor-
 neys. has done the first. The second
 phase, that of educating the purchasers
 to buy sanely and wisely, mas curtaiied the demand to such an extent that pro- dIction is rapidly catching up This IS
 the result of the reaction among consum- CTS who have refused to pay excessive prices.
 DIFFICULTIES EXPERIENCED Difficulty has been experienced by the department, according to MT. Scott, be- cause of the judicial doubt" existing as to the constitutionalty of the Lever law. Unfavorabie decisions were said to have given profiteers new grip in some communities but MT. Scott believed the legal attacks started by the government has served measurably to discourage ehe wave of profteering.
 | MT. Scott said the government actlVi- l ties against price gougers had ac- I celerated and aided rather than retaru- ed" renewal of the effectiveness ot the law of supply and demand. ,a I Another important factor, ne saiu' l "has been the action of fair-price repre- l sentatives in inducing patriotic merchants to effect reductions in prices fernaps I the most striking illustration oi .his
