In order to get within range and cut

again to forty feet, went ahead with
all the speed it could muster for twenty
minutes, and again came near enough
the surface to put up its periscope.
Now it was directly astern; still the
British submarine was not near enough
for a sure shot, so again it plunged
beyond periscope depth, coming up at
intervals during the next hour, each
time observing with satisfaction that
it was lessening the distance between
itself and it's prey. When the range

happened to the German submarine;

According to the Admiralty records,

of an enemy:
One day one of the American sub
marines, lying on the surface saw, an
American destroyer, and, cheered in
their loneliness by the sight of such a

proach, making all the identification
signals so carefully set down in the
books. Instead of a cordial greeting,
however, about twenty rounds Of pro-
| jectiles began falling about the L-boat
which as hastily as possible dropped
to sixty feet under the surface. In
a few minutes depth charges began
exploding around him in profusion, the
plates Of the vessel shook violently,
the lights went out and the end seemed
near. Making a last effort, the Amer

Under an order issued by Chief Jus
tice Mccoy, OF the District Supreme
Court, this morning, the Federal
Trade Commission is temporarily in
Joined from taking testimony as to
the distribution methods of the But
terick Company, of New York, and its
subsidiaries in the manufacture and
sale Of patterns.
The commission recently Issued an
order charging the butterick Com
pany, the Butterick Publishing Com
pany, the Designer Publishing Com
pany. and the Federal Publishing Com
'pany with violations Of the Federal
Trade Commission act and the Clay
ton act. This complaint was based
on the contracts made with selling
agents. which prohibit the sale OF
patterns at less than a fixed price and
prevent the agent from handling the
patterns of any other concern.
Similar proceedings were begun last
year and dismissed. The charges
were renewed this year, and the TAX
ing of testimony was ordered TO begin
this week. The injunction continues
until August 5, when the commission
is ordered to show cause why 1t
should not be made permanent.
The petition is based on the grounds
that the complaint does not state def
mite acts Of violation and that the
commission has no Jurisdiction over
the subject matter.

DR.. Fowler was asked this morning
how old puppy should be in order
to be called a dog. He made this
reply: "In the eyes of the District
laws. a dogs dog" And fearing
that his questioner was not convinced
he referred hi mt oother District Of
