Copying Store Front
Held Unfair By
Trade Body

The Federal Trade Commits
sion insists upon individuality
in the decoration Of store
fronts.
Issuing complaints today
against two Washington soft
drink stores, the commission de-
clared that the painting Of
store fronts and the use Of
signs similar to that Of COM
petitor are unfair business prac-
tees.
The specific charge Of the
commission was that two firms,
selling an orange beverage, had
decorated their store fronts to
simulate those Of another store
engaged in the same business.

 Being Mininterprcted.

The ordinance committee of the common council last night gave ap- proval, with minor changes, to the rules of the fire department, summit ted several months ago and slated for action at the next session of the common council. Adoption of ordin- ances covering the matters taken up will be recommended at the next ses- sion
 The fire commission wanted the rule regulating appointments to read: He tan applicanD shall be between 21 and 35 years of age. He shall not be eligible to promotion to the per manent force after he has passed the age 35." The ordinance committee changed the rule to read lover 21 and under 35 years of age" This action was taken over the objections of Chairman John E. R.

PICKING THEIR MEN IN SOUTH DAKOTA
Presidential Primaries Of Three
 Parties Under Way

Pierre, South Dakota. Dec. 4.-Firs- selections for the 1924 presidential primaries will be made today by the state proposal conventions of the democratic. republican and farmer labor parties.
 In the democratic convention the supporters of former Secretary of the Treasury William G. McAdoo will do iattle with the sponsors of a cam paign in behalf of Henry Ford. while m the republican gathering the advo- cates of Hiram Johnson of California and President Calvin Coolidge will face their test.
 Ford and IaFollette
 The farmer labor assemblage will have before it the names of Henry Ford and Senator Robert LaFoIette of Wisconsin. In addition to presidential prefer ences the convention must name maa iority candidates for the United States senate and all state officers.
 Platform suggestions for the na- tional conventions to which the presi- dential selections of the state conven- tions must subscribe in writing also will be framed.
 Attempts to anna lgamate the demo- cratic and farmer-labor conventions through identical primary tickets were under way early in the day. but pow erful democratic leaders declared that the suggestion, formally approved by g meeting of a number of farmer labor proposal men late last night, would not he accepted in the demo- cratic convention.
 Senatorial Race
 The senatorial race between Cover nor W IT. McMaster and Senator Thomas Sterling is looked upon 10 de termine the result Of the entire ticket from presidential choice down through the state officers in the republican gathering. Roth sides will enter the convention claiming sufficiently rledg- cd delegates to get the senatorial en- dorsement
 Governor McATaster has coupled his campaign with the presidential race of Senator Johnson and is known to have the support of large Johnson delegations from the county proposals meetings. Senator Sterling. whose presidential views have never been revealed. is credited by many within the party to favor the endorsement Of President Coolidge. Tn all quarters, fl is admitted that upon the outcome of the senatorial contest will depend the presidential endorsement.
 The conventions, which must assem- hle at il a, m. arc required by state law 10 finish their work before mid night. They must function in com mittee Of the whole, approving the platform plank by plank on roll calls and selecting the tickets by votes on every candidate.
 A demand for an increase in inheri- tance taxes, a reduction on income tax rates on incimes under sfo.00o and A 2b per cent discrimination in favor of earned incomes as against unesrned . incomes, arc among the tax proposals Of the tentative republican platform.
