Chairman of Federal Trade Commits

Newark, Y. j., Jan. 22.-The high
cost Of living since 1915 has been due
largely to the five great packing con-

as compared with $59OOO,O0O for the
three years preceding, William b.

commission, declared in an address

ward complete agreement on compro-
mise reservations to the peace treaty,
first reported yesterday, was continued

troYersy, was considered almost ex.
clusively at today's session of the four
Republican and five Democratic lead
ers and tonight spokesman for both
factions Joined in expressions hopeful
OF ultimate settlement. One of the
Democratic leaders said he looked for
decisive action tomorrow on tho con-

the chief of the state marine bio

a bucketful of the eellike worms
which had been captured by an old
skipper on the ferryboat, explained
that the bright light was caused by
millions of small reptiles known as
annelidas that had suddenly come to
the surface. He further mentioned
that these strange creatures had n
habit of making periodical visits about
once every 10 years.

There followed busy days when
Ruth, singing over the task, dyed VA

from Hal that he feared the rugs she
described wouldn't fit nt all I'm the sort

Ruth put them away regretfully; but
In few days bits of white material
and dainty laces took their place and
the singing was resumed
After another letter from Hal these

when he came on for his summer va

Joe overhearing this, itched for

slender city chap; to take him by the

When Hal left he assured Ruth that
they would he married by Christmas

who was her nephew. an Austrian no
hillary and non-royal title of prince
or of count, which the young fellow
could have shared with his American
bride. But this was on the under
standing that Miguels American
motherln-law would pay on his alto
gether colossal debts. which for sew
ernl years prior to his marriage had
been a source of continual scandal not
alone in Austria and Hungary but also
In Berlin, Paris and in London.
Many of his debts were settled by
his mother-in-law. But there seemed
no end to them. She soon felt herself
compelled TO call halt and became
convinced she was being imposed up
on. This led to more unsavory law
suits against Dom Miguel and the sen
sational seizure of his household eff.
fects at his residence In Vienna.
The old emperor would not hear of
bestowing upon Dom Miguel and upon
his American bride, amy Austrian
title, and as they We're precluded
by contract and agreement from
styling themselves prince and princess
of Braganza, they had to content
themselves with very unsatisfactory
makeshift i'm the form of Portuguese
title of duke of Vizeu, conferred upon
Miguel by his father and namesake,
the duke of Braganza.
Now the duke of Braganza had no
right or power whatsoever, to bestow
upon his son the dukedoui of Vizeu
or any other title of nobility. The
grant of such titles Is restricted ex-
clusively to reigning sovereigns. AS
for the duke OF Braganza, he cannot
even claim to be an ex-monarch. He
has never occupied n throne. He Is

seized the crown of Portugal from his

TO make matters worse, Dom Miguel

many that came to grief. The stock
holders sued him on charges of mis-
representation. To save him his rel
atlves in Austria obtained n decree
from the tribunals of the dual empire

to say, divesting him of all civic. legal
and financial responsibility and reduc-
ing him to the status of n minor or
