INFORMATION TRADES

ACT HELD UNLAWFUL
Exchange of Statistics Be-

demned By Court

WASHINGTON, June 4-Exchange
OF information between business
competitors engaged in interstate
commerce, the supreme court held
today, is unlawful when the mani
fest purpose" of the companies is
to defeat the sherman antitrust act
without subjecting themselves to
its penalties" The opinion was rem
dered in a case brought by the fed
eral government against the Ameri-
can Linseed Oil company and others.
The court declined, however, to
say to what extent competitors
might go in exchanging trade in
formation without violating the Sher-
man law.
Explaining that the American Lin
seed Oil company and other linseed
oil manufacturers. had by contract
arranged to furnish the Armstrong
bureau of related industries detailed
information concerning their affairs
the information to be confidentially
circulated among all subscribers,
Justice McReynolds, in delivering the
opinion of the court, stated:
In the absence of a purpose to
monopolize or the compulsion that
results from contract or agreement,
the individual certainly may exercise
great freedom, but concerted action
through combination presents a
wholly different problem and is for
hidden when the necessary tendency
is to destroy the kind of competition
to which the public has long loolked
for protection"

NINETY PER CENT OF
GIRLS ARE VICTIMS
GIaring truth brought out
by recent investigation of
widely used method.

The tremendous sale Of the Beauty
Creations which are being sold under the
now famous Black and White label and
which have caused much discussion
among beauty and skin specialists has
resulted in a thorough sitting out of
valuable information.
Girls and women who have bad COM
plexion, and who have been trying first
one thing then another to bring that
clear, rosy and pleasing appearance to
their faces can trace their failure to just
one thing. and that is-the methods they
have been using do not get lasting re-
suits.
1t is true that many things have been
offered to them through flashy advertis-
ing. promising instant and almost over
night relief from pimples. blotches. rough
or sallow skin. and all too unsuspecting in
their eagerness to be attractive they be-
lieve it.
But not until the now famous Black and
White Beauty Creations were perfected
a few years ago had anything really re-
liable been available This is proven by
the many girls and women who regularly
use Black and White Cleansing Cream.
Peroxide Cream Soap and the many
others to meet every need in the care
of their compilations and which is the
reason Black and White Beauty Creations
are being sold widely.

"AN INSIGHT TO AN ERRATIC
GENTLEMAN'S BRAIN"

The old gentleman had habit of
thinking aloud in moments OF high
feeling. AS a political crank, and a
seemingly secluded one, he was known
far and near. The editor, seeking an
increased amount of interest for his
paper, struck upon the idea of a re-
ply by the old man to a satire recent
ly published. 1t was very good for
tune to come upon the secluded one

reflection upon all staunch Americans.

Such thing would give weight to
