"FLYlNG SQUADS"

The flying squad" of the Depart
meut OF Justice, Instituted to inves-
tisate specific complaints of over
charging, has caught the popular
fancy in manner that suggests its
great possibilities OF usefulness in
furnishing profiteernig.
II affords the helpless consumer a
better recourse for eXtortion than
an angry and futile exchange of
personalities with the dealer; when
YOU are charged too much for prunes
or pie or lemonade or collars or
clothes, just adTise the squad of the
fact and let it do the rest. If the
evidence warrants, pros ecutioDs may
follow; but at any rate a medium is
thus provided the public for taking
a personal part in curbing eXces-
sive prices, while the government
obtains the sery's es of innUmerable
volunteers in furnishing material
on which TO base action.
If this is spying. dealers and
other guilty OF profteerfng will have
to make the best of it. The flood
OF complaints already received
shows the puG1ies view Of its effic-
acy. To summon the government
agent at will to investigate high
prices is like calling policeman or
an ambulance, and the idea appeals

Americas first newspaper. the Bos-
ton Newsletter. first published In
17O4, on exhibition at the MaSsachu-
sets Historical society, marked the
beginning of continuous Journalism In
the British colonies. Until 1904 the
nearest approach to a newspaper In
the everyday life Of the colonies was
the manuscript NEWSLETTER" which
was usually addressed by the writer
to a governor or a leading clergyman,
and was presumably shown around
and the news" further circulated by
word of mouth.
An earlier effort than that Of the
Boston Newsletter to publish news
paper in the colonies is on record In
the attempt to publish Publick Occur
rences, in 1890. The Introductory
paragraph announced that at Is de-
signed that the countrey shall be fur

Trace Pedigree for Centuries.


Speaking of old families and family
trees, English and Americans who
pride themselves on ancestry have rea-
son to envy the Arabs, many Of whom
can trace their family line back
through many centuries by means Of
authentic documents. Prof. Talcott
Williams, an American who was born
and spent his youth in Turkey and has
Travelled much since in oriental coun-
tries. says the descendants of Moham-
med are numerous all over the Mos
lem world-in Arabia, Somaliland and
East Africa-and that they prove their
line by these records, which they value
highly. There are also many descend
ants Of Abu Bekr, the immediate sue
cessor Of Mohammed. The leading
Moslem family In Jerusalem are the
Khaldi, descendants Of Kakled. who
conquered Syria 1900 years ago and
whose descendants have kept their
genealogical records intact for all that

Beliefs Concerning Friday.

Americans haven't got around to the
point of view of the ancient Scandi-

day of the Goddess Frigga, or Freyja,
the luckiest day of the week; but they
are getting more like the MOslems,
whose conviction that the sixth day of
the week Is a pretty average day, after
all, Is expressed in their belief that II
