His messenger duties consist largely,

A problem parents should consider is
this: How can one mako tho simple
errands Of every day attractive to the
children? Solve this, and bringing up
children should have no terrors.
For instance. If Billy's parents could
get Billy to perform an errand for them
as gladly as he did for somebody else
the other day, the rest would be easy.
Bill, who is about four years old, was
seen coming along the block the other

Federal Trade

tIouS numerous QueS-

manipulation and unfair practices of
competition. as well as foreign legis-

This function Of tho Federal Trade
Commission acting as umpire over
American export associations in in
ternational trade has done moro than
anything else to make foreign coun-
tries realize that their fear and criti-
cism when the Webb-Pomerene act
was passed were unfounded. Some of
these countries imagined that the
United States with its tremendous
power would absorb the business of
the world through legalized combina-
tions. The international press was
generally hostile, and in their respec-
tive countries manufacturers were
urged to combine to meet the 'inva-
sion" Of American combinations .un-
der the new law.
It has been shown that this hos
tility abroad was due to incomplete

Trade Commission has the authority
to issue orders against unfair COM
petition among the American export

nation the transactions of American
exporters in their relation to each
other in foreign countries, this fear
and hostility were arrested.
Now 1t turns out that certain other
countries, notably Great Britain and
Japan. are doing deliberately and pur-
posely just what they expressed fear
that American business would slip into.
These foreign nations have organized
giant combines. some Of which are
under government patronage, and
which are openly declared to be with
the specific design Of subjecting the
American concerns to the keenest pos
sible competition in the world mar
kets.

Preparing for the work of actual

bicycle RUN THROUGH
CITY is SCHEDULED
All Ages and Both Sexes Expected
to Be Represented in Program
Tomorrow Afternoon.

A renaissance of bicycle riding.
reminiscent of quarter of a century
ago. will take place in Washington
tomorrow afternoon, when cyclists.
old and young, of both skies. will
gather in front of the Congressional
Library for run through the city
and it's suburbs.
The run will be made under the di-
rection of Fred ST. Onge. cyclist of
international reputation. who will
give a brief talk and demonstration
on how to ride and how not to ride
He will also lead the run mounted on
vogue thirty-five years ago.
The riders will meet at 2 o'clock in
front of the Congressional Library.
where each one will be registered.
and souvenirs will be distributed.
After the talk on cycling the ride will
begin at 3 O'Clock. and the pace set
will be such that the youngest riders
will have no difficulty in keeping up.
The run will be similar to that held in
Richmond. Va. last Sunday. where it
was estimated that 900 wheels were
in line, many of them ridden by busi-
ness and professional men who had
not had their feet on the pedals in a
decade.
Cyclists of Washington are making
efforts to revive this pastime of other
days. both on account of the economy
in the face of the mounting cost of
gasoline and because the exercise is
particularly beneficial to those whose
work confines them to government
offices.
