ABOLTSHING DECEPTION

The supreme of the United States has just rend
cred interesting and important decision touching
honesty trade methods that worthy of general
sideration
The case in which the decision was rendered
brought by Federal Trade commission against the Win
sted Hosiery company The points of law in the in
voved the question of the integrity of labels used by the
manufacturing to designate the different qualities
of its products has for advertised its goods under
the brands of Natural Merino," "Gray WOOL Natural
Wool" Natural Worsted," Australian Wool"
These only the of the brands but do not
convey the exact truth to the texture of their fabrics
The decision of the points that of the
duct is call WOOL indicated by of the brands that
in fact that the word Merino had little reevance to the
goods bearing such brand for these contain large
centage of cotton.
The value of this decision not only to stop the firm
in question making of terms that deceive the purchasers
but furnish warning other manufacturers that they
Unfortunately employ terms with reference to
their products that papably misleading.
1t is decision affirming the morality of honest ad
vertsng 1t is important step IN the plan to protect
against fraud those who ignorant of qualities and the
technicaes of manufacturing In this pointed
out defense of the position Of the firm in question: that
the they and that while the brands in
fact deceptive the goods themselves stood their merits
The gt of the decision in the words of Justice Bran

are literally false"

One Minute Essay

Apart from its ancient religious sig
nificance shaving had its uses in mill
tary purposes. The beard formed a too
convenient handle i'll the combats of old
EN- days, and Alexander the Great ac-
cordingly issued an army order to shave.
1t is curious TO notice the rcversiohs
Of fashion in the matter. The huge
monuments of the Assyrians show the
conquering armies full-beardcd and only
the slaves and captivcs shaven, but at
o later period it was the Norman Con-
querOrs who were -chinned, and
the bearded barbarians who were the
conquered.
IN passing, two quaint ''shaving
laws might be noticed. Peter the
Great Of itussia heavily taxed his sub.
jects boards, and the lord lieutenant of
ireland once passed law that even
lrishman must shave his upper lip OF
be reckoned an enemy.

sWATTING THE MOB

San Bernardino Sun: No mob ever
has defensible excuse. The most com
man defense of moboeracy is that the
officers of the law are not discharging
their obligations or it is feared that
they will not do so. That condition
might suggest mob action, but good
citizens do not yield to that sort of
temptation. There is no problem i'll
American life which any group OF citi-
zens might solve that cannot better be
solved through the regular channels.
The ballot-bo is the only weapon any
| American community needs to enforce
its will and, when that is not employed,
it may safely be assumed the proposed
action is counter to majority desire.
Neglect of duty by public officials may
be promptly remedied through the
| courts if grave enough to amount to
malfeasanee, or later at the polls.
Civilization won to general respect
for law and order only through many
centuries of injustice and misrule.
Safety of life and property enforced by
due process of law is the supreme fact
that marks the evolution of mankind
and of society Any incident that chal-
lenges the efficacy of organized society
to deal with its problems, any attempt
of mob to supersede the law and its
sworn agents, lays the AK not only to
the root of the very tree of justice but
it turns back the clock of civilization
The proper place for the members OF
a mob, or for anybody that by inference
precept or example encourages the mol
| spirit, is in Jail. Treason is the least oi
| the crimes of which such as these arc
guilty.

TWO YARDS OF BABY RIBBON

A woman stood beside me at the
ribbon counter in a department store
in a large city one day asking for some
baby ribbon in cream color. When the
clerk gave it to her she uttered a little
cry of relief.
Then she saw me glancing toward
her and smiled "You wonder why
am so delighted to get two yards of
cream color baby ribbon She said.
"Well, / have been to dozen shops
trying to get it and couldn It. They
have white but no cream. I've been in
town. she consulted her wrist watch
"two hours and / have only time to do
two other errands. I'm getting it she
went on as the clerk handed her the
package "for neighbor. She called
UP just as l was starting and asked me
if l would do little errand for her,
get her two yards of cream colored
baby ribbon. A little errand! But
suppose she would think I was horrid
if 1 tried to tell her how much bother

ism t it? One is glad to do the thing
if one can but one does wish people
realized
And L echoed her unfinished wish.

"Hop in the car and Ill take you
home SO that you may wash"
Bully hoped in the bunny's auto,
but, just as Uncle Wiggily was about
to start the machine, suddenly there
was Il kissing sound, and all the air
rushed out of one of the tires.
"Oh, dear!' sighed Uncle Wiggily.
"I must have run over an extra sharp
pine needle and punctured my tire!
What shall L do, when / haven't u
spare to use?'
Bully thought for a moment. Then
he croaked happily:
ooh, Uncle Wiggily, | know! 1t can t
be n very big puncturc if it was made
by only pine needle. Can It you take
some of this sticky pine tree gum that
/ was caught in and mend the hole
in your tire9 The gum will hold the
cir in until you can get to u garage. -
"The very thing!" cried Uncle Wig
gily. Soon he mended the puncture
with the sticky, thick gum. lie pumped
fresh air in his tire, and just as he
finished, out from the bushes jumped
the Woozie Wolf.
" You can't catch us!'' cried Bully,
and he and Uncle Wiggily leaped into
the auto and rode safely away, leaving
the Wolf bowling behind in the woods.
SO this teaches us that money is of
some use in this world after all, and
if the white horse doesn't turn red

pops, I'll tell you next about Uncle

There was squeaking sound around
the corner of the hollow stump bunga-
low one morning, and Nurse Jane
Fuzzy Wuzzy, who had come down the
steps to shake out dust cloth, jumped
back.
"Maybe that S the Skillery Scallery

Nurse Jane stood ready with her dust
cloth. The squeaking noise sounded
again, and around the corner came the
rabbit gentleman himself, in his auto
mobile.
"Oh, what was that squeaking
sound?' asked Nurse Jane, holding one
paw on her heart, which was beating
hard.

I'm glad also, said Uncle Wiggily
with cheerful twinkle of his pinl

"Here L am, over on this fallen log
beside the road. I'M caught fast and
can't get my legs loose to hop!"
Looking more carefully, Uncle Wig
gily saw Bully No Tail, the frog boy,
sitting on log, as the bunny thought.
"Oh, Bully, I'm glad it is you," said
Mr.. Longears. "Come over here and
III give you, a ride in my auto
II can t come to you, Uncle Wig
gily,' croaked Bully. i am stuck fast
on this log. Some the stucky gum from
the pine tree overhead has dribbled
down on the log. 1t made sticky
puddle. Not seeing the sticky puddle
1 hoped down into it, and now L am
caught, fast. Oh, how can you get
me loose?'' And Bully almost cried.
Hum, Let me see,' spoke Uncle
Wiggily, thoughtful like, as he drove
his auto nearer. ''Sticky gum from
the pine tree. The only thing to
lossen that is grease. Water won't do
it, nor yet soap. L shall take some
grease out of my car and loosen the
gum so you can get loose, Bully
"Please do" begged the froggie
boy, and the rabbit uncle did. If ever
you get sticky pine gum on you, re-
member that butter or lard will take
it off. So will alcohol, if you have
any.
Soon Bully was set free from the
sticky pine tree gum, but he was quite
greasy and felt SO uncomfortable that

Then he waved his paw to Nurse

twice, and away he rolled, the bologna

full of air and as fat as jelly rolls.

HOW MALARIA FEVER IS TAKEN

 Do all kinds of mosquitoes transmit malaral parasites to man? No only Anopheles mosquitoes carry malaria and only some kinds of Anopheles.
 Are mosquitoes born with this pow CT of conveying malaria:
 No. They acquire it only by biting man who has these parasites in his blood The parasites are taken then from Il man by q mosquito and go back from the mosquito to another man. Where the parasites first start ed We do not know.
