CLEARER LAW NEEDED.

CEEMINGLY conflicting decisions by the Supreme
- Court in the United States Steel and Reading
cases prove that there is bcrderland in corporation
control nadequately covered by present statutes.
Had the Steel decision been allowed to stand, 1t
IS highly probable that soon the country would have
witnessed an era of combination, amalgamaton and
trust formation similar to that which eliminated in
the Steel Corporation merger.
Promoters could have argued plausibiy that If
combination were only large enough It could afford
to fight antitrust suits for years. Eventually the
lrrst could reform" with the expectation that the
Supreme Court would see "a risk of injury to the
public interest" in dissolution of great and going
concern.
The Reading decision will discourage new combi-
nations. Wall Street will wait until it knows more
clearly where it is going.

The Senator from California has proved himself
'by the count the "favorte son" of his own State.
He has shown that in industrial sections, as IN New

is Hitchcock.
Gen. Woods troubles are so numerous that he
must have needed the services of an extra orderly

elephant.
TIE Procter trunk-or tail-and the Hitchcock
tailor trunk-have been pulling at cross purposes,
and the Hitchcock end wants TO know which il IS.
Other political BIOLOGISTS would like to know
what decision the General will make. They in

AID JEWISH RELIEF.

n URlNG the war when the great "drves" for

New Yorks quotas were raised
This would have been impossible without the
cooperation and contribution of American Jews who
carried their fair share.
Despite these heavy demands for National funds,
American Jews carried heavy burden of purely
racial relief all during the war, and did this without
asking for nonsJewish aid
This week the Jews of Greater New York seek
to raise 81, 100000 for Jewish reief.n Europe.
They ask the assistance of the general public
There are hundred other appeals touching cur
pocketbooks But both the merit of this ilrSe and
the spirit of fair play demand ready response from
all without regard TO race.
American Jews carried double burden OF relief
all during the war. The responsibility. remains
heavy. Let those with whom the Jews shared the
war burden help them carry their own load,

UNCOMMON SENSE
By John Blake


POSTPONE CONFINEMENT TO YOUR OLD AGE.
We are told that SOntented spirit is highly to be
priced.
But if all had contented spirits the world would
suddenly stop going forward
Things are done through striving. And the spring
that is behind striving is discomfort.
II you satisfied with the wages you getting there
is not shadow of chance that you will get any
If you doQ want any wages you will not try to
get more. And If you don't try to get you will do
nothing that out of the ordinary and consequently be of
service to the world than any of the other billion
and half people who inhabit it.
1t is discomfort with ourselves with conditions, with
injustice that takes and the world ahead
Not the discomfort born of envy of prosperous
fortunate people Not the discomfort that would
mand that those who have worked for what divide
it evenly with the loafers and MASTERS.
But the intelligent discomfort with things that are
wrong and be made rght-wth oppression unfairness
suffering all the evils that exist because many
seshly devoted to welbeing and give thought
to others.
We have right to be conented while are getting
out of ourselves half that know is there
right to be cOntented when there much do that
will make better world out of that in sad need of
betterment.
When'we knock off work for declining years and
sit in chimney the front porch looking back
life, it will be time for contentment But if we arc
contented now, will be of little that we cannot
possibly be cOntented when reach the years when con-
'tentment should be portion.

THE City of New York has had in high and re-

OFt6Rl0.
Atala was q child OF the wiIdernesa
She was born in the forests OF the
Far West. in the days when the
Indians were still a noble race.
Chactas was a young Indian war
rior' renowned for courage and
strength and beauty. He was the
most heroic youth In his tribe, and
was smiled on by the fairest Indian
maldens.
But he had no thought for any OF
his many admirers. or indeed for any
thing else in life except the lovely
Atala.
But there was a reason why he ana
his beloved sweetheart could never
hope to marry.
From birth, Alfalfa had been deii-
Gated by her savage mother to per-
petual maidenhood. And, as a child.
she had been persuaded by her
mother to take a most solemn and
binding oath never to marry.
This oath the girl Rept. Nor had
she had the slightest temptation TO
break it-until she met Chactas.
Then, all at once, the whole world
changed for Alfalfa. She found herself
hopelessly in love with the handsome
Indian youth. And she knew that life
without him would be eternal misery
TO her.
But she was conscientious. She had
taken an oath never TO marry. And
she was too honorable to break that
oath, even at the urgence of her own
heart.
She explained all this to Chactas.
Vainly he besought her to forget an
Ubiquitous vow which she had made
when she did not understand it's
meaning.
Atala longed to break her oath.
But conscience withheld her. And
the two lovers parted, as each sup
posed forever.
But fate presently threw them to-
gether again. when a tribal mlsfor-
tune scattered the Indians through
the forest.
.Chactas rescued Atala from death
and acted as her guide in the long
wanderings that followed. Side by
side they roamed the vast wilderness,
the man and the maid who loved
each other above all the world and
who were parted as completely as II
million miles OF space separated
them.
For days they roved on, together.
Atala resolutely deaf to her lovers
pleas. yet finding the prospect OF
living without him more and more
terrifying.
At last they reached the forest
lodge of a hermit priest. To this
holy man, Chactas told his sad story.
At once the hermit declared that he
would absolve Alfalfa from hsS vow,
and marry the pair.
Overjoyed, Chactas bore these clad
tidings TO his sweetheart.
But he was too late. Finding life
unsuppUrtabie il she could not marry
the man she loved, Alfalfa had Just
taken poison.
