HARDWARE MAKERS
 BEING ASSAILED
High Tariff Cause Of ExtOrtion-
 . ate Profits, Is Claim

Washington, Oct. 6.-Supposed ex- tortionate profits of the Aluminium Company of America, due to the op- eration of the high protective tariff, and declaring the company 10 be "a practically complete monopoly" was charged in a rcportAtoday by the Federal Trade Commission
 The commission also charged un- fair dealings 10 makers of washing machines, sewing machines, brooms and vacuum cleaners.
 Secretary of the Treasury Mellon is said to be interested in the alumi- mum company, which John w. Davis attacked in recent speeches. Secre- tsry Mellon denied recently that the aluminium company was making ex- orbitant profits as a result of tlte tariff or because it was monopoly charges preferred at the time by MT Davis. The report of the Federa' Trade Commission appears to back up the contention of Mr Davis. The report is as follows:
 As the report continues it men tions the Retail Hardware Dea alers' association, saying, in this connsc- tion:
 Hardware Dealers
 "The records of the Retail Hard ware Dealers associations. which in- clude the principal retailers of kitchen utensils and domestic arpli- ances, indicate that they endcavor, through the manufacturer, to pre- vent mail order price competition for various goods, and that they sys- tematically oppose sales by manu- lecturers directly tD consumers and to so-called irregular dealers. Local associations have sometimes held group meetings for the purpose of discussing prices"
 Reports from retail dealers indi- cate that the prices of washing ma chimes, vacuum cleaners, sewing ma chimes, refrigerators and the like,

 Walter Johnson in flaming d doz- en players Saturday, equalled the mark made by Ed Walsh in a world series game in 19o6-only Big Ed famed his dozen in nine innings Baseball in Philadelphia must be picking upif the boys have to bribe the Philiies to lose. No matter what you think of Abe Attell, he was more generous with his bribe than Jimmy O'Connell. Until Mr. O'Connell stepped for ward as the money man in the new est baseball scandal, nobody knew why McGraw had him on the team. You can't help but admire the l tremendous courage of Judge Landis in barring such an important in- dividual as second-assistant coach from the series. How the bat boy ever escaped the czar's judicial wrath IS beyond us.
 It is said that Mr. Sand of the Phillies curtly refused the proffered bribe of $500 to throw a game. You cant get very far on $500 anyway. l You are asked to believe none of the other Giants knew about the attempted bribe. You are asked to believe it but you are an awful hick if you do.

 Perhaps the enterprise would have been more successful if Mir. OConnell had used Secretary Falls little black valise.

HIGH SPOTS HIGH,
 LOW ONES ARE LOW
This Sums Up the New Artists
 and Models" Show

That the high spots arc high and the low spots low in tho new Artists and Models show, which opened in New York this week, Is the opinion Of the critic on the New York Times who says:
 The new Artists and Modcls," re- vealed last night at tho Astor the- ater before an expectant audience - expcctant, it will be recalled, be- cause of the nature of last years similarly titled entertainment = is good-looking revue with moments that must have lived up to practical ly all expectations. Since the first of this series undertook to blaze a new trail in the matter of undrap- ing the feminine form, this report should properly begin with the news that the same principle is followed again on the stage of the Astor. As a matter of fact, the dimmed lights and thin curtains that decorously concealed much of the stage in the earlier entertainment have now been exchanged for bright lights and no curtains at all. Thus does art, albeit not unlinked with trade, march relentlessiy onward.
 By way of accounting for the other ingredients of the complex and much-authored revue that has been fashioned~.o out of this seasons H. lustrators' Show, it should next be reported that Artists and Models" contains much beauty, more than a dash of smartness and at least a

It was lucky that Raggedy Ann had lot of cream puffs to give to the little fat Captain, for, when he found that his crew had captured his nice little white boat, the fat tile Captain sat down and cried ~sad cried. When he had finished eat ing the cream puffs, of course, he felt very much better, so Raggedy Andy washed his face nice and clean and said. Well, never mind, Captain, if the crew wish to become Pirates, you just let them! Anyway, they will get into trouble, I'll bet a nickel and then they will be sorry that they captured your nice little white boat"
 T spcct they will" the little fat captain replied, 'But, you see, l asked you and Raggedy Ann and Walter and his mama and daddy and the nice Wizard and the won derful hobby horse to take sail with me on my nice little white boat, for I thought all the crew had gone home to visit their mamas!"
 Maybe they do not know how to sail the boat without you as Cap tain," Walter said.

fair amount of comedy = as much, at all events, as there Is room for between the numerous songs and dances. And 1t also contains those several moments of suggestiveness that seem to be becoming more and more part of the up-to-date revue. There is a good deal of this sort of thing fin Artists and Models" and there is never moment when the show is not vastly hurtby it.
 The new show begins quite braye< ly by settingout to bring a young woman from New Hampshire wood to Greenwich Village, but tho string of plot thus involved neveN gets any further than the opening scene. Thereafter come a dazzling successions of golds and blacks and grays, against which arc set the quito fascinating Trini and her dancing, the capable and attractive Nancy Gibbs, a highly pleasing young person named Flora Lea and an assortment of comedians.
 Tho high spots are quite high, as is the way with revue, and the low spots are pretty low. There is an ingratiating and well-handled num- Der entitled Good Night" in the first half,thero are several lovely tableauS there are rose numbers and color numbers, and jazz numbers. and what not, It is all there, tho good and the bad, and a pleasant evenings entertainment can be had out of 1t by diligently watching the stage for about half the time and talking loudly to your neighbor for the other half. #
 Of the comedians, the most anus ing was one named David Seed, who, being the funniest, was natur- ally given the least to do. A great deal was entrusted to Barnett Park CT and Frank Gaby. and somehow they were only moderately amusing. A long-legged dancer, rejoicing in the name of Vestoff, offered some entertaining steps; there were songs by Charles Massinser. Mabel Withee and others

seven of the other sailors cried, If Snarley unties Captain Red Higgins, we will cut off his ears!"
 There! You see"" Snarley told Walter, T guess I do not care to have my ears cut off"
 What had we better do?" the little fat Captain asked Raggedy Ann. Tn a few moments they will have the sails up and sail away, leaving us behind"
 This was just what was about to happen, for the last sail was soon in place and the man called "Snar- ley" took his place at the wheel "Is everything ready?" he called out.
 "Yee ho." all the other sailors yelled back
 Then here she goes" Snarley cried as he gave the wheel twist.
 The Raggedys and Walter ex- pected to see a nice little white boat sail away when snarley twisted the wheel, but the little boat stayed right where 1t had been before. Something's wrong" Snarley yelled Something's wrong!" all the other pirates echoed.
 Why didn't it so?" Ragecdy Ann asked the little fat Captain.
 T can't imagine why" he re- piled.
 Then the Wizard winked his left eye at Raggedy Ann and the Cap tain and said, Lets go over here and sit down. Maybe we can think of something to dol"
 And then, everyone knew that the Wizard had worked his magic upon the little white boat and that was the reason the Pirates could not make it move through the water.

Why poth Dicky and Madge
 AnolOCized

The heart of woman is said to ps an unCathomable thing, and believe the one who understands it's heats least Of all Is the woman hcr- Relf. l had this borne in upon me whom, upon DiCkys sudden an- rounCcmcnt that he himself would take his mother in for the day shopping, 1 Immediately decided that would not be too fatigued to drive her in to Marvin myself as Dicky originally had planned,
 My husband demanding an unrca- sonablc thing of me was one thing. A rcmorsrrul spouse proposing 10 sacrifice his own time and comfort to spare me fatigue was distinctly something else, and my voice was friendly, even enthusiastic, as l put my hands on his shoulders and shook him slightly.
 "pcrhaps you're not the only one who is ashamed of himselt-her- self
 itself" Dicl,y gibed, but there was tenderness in his voice,
 Herself" l reiterated firmly with a little mouc, and hurried on while my enthusiasm was still at concert pitch.
 Marion helped me so much" l said, that l shall have time for a fairly good sleep, and I insist upon driving Mother into Marvin tomor- row morning"
 No you don't" ho said promtply, but l knew that his decision was born of conscience. not inclination, and my answer was equally didactic.
 You cant keep me from doing It." I said firmly. T shall take Marion and Junior with me. and coming back we shall have the pie nic I've promised them for so long. Honestly, Dicky," with an upward glance at him, T shall love it, really. You know, driving in this wonderful autumn weather is"
 DiclIy Changes His Mind
 "Your other name," my husband finished, tossing the armful of cloth ing he held on the nearest chair and putting his arms around me. "Yes, I know that, and I also know that when you want to try it, you can coax the birds off the bushes. But since you put it on the. score of a personal favor to yourself" he Erinned mischievously, why, I'll grant you the great honor of driving my august mother to Marvin. And may Allah have mercy on your soul" he intoned solemnly. Then, with a quick movement, put me away from him, and crossing to the bed picked up the clothing I had not yet mended.
 "I'll just take a look at these" he said, and running them over tucked everything except one garment un- der his arm.
 < "I can send all of these others to a tailor. just as well as not" he said. If you can get this out with out taking up too much of your time"
 Have You Seen Richard?"
 "Of course.' I said heartily, per hitting myself a mental grin at the difference between Dicky's attitude and mine in this sartorial harmony and the acerbity of debate marking our former discussion.
 "Thcn everything will be Jacob, also James, indeed" he said with a little laugh that held relief as well

CHAPTER V Family Affairs
Mir. Dobbins raised his finger. Wait. sir. stop right there.

MT. Dobbins raised his finger.
 Wait, sir, stop right there.
 Let me reconstruct the scene"
 He rolled off this phrase with gusto.
 As I understand it, the sun par Tor. on the south side of the house, has four doors, one facing each of the points of the compass'
 Exactly right" agreed Gddard, and the north door connects the sun parlor with the house."
 Opening into a hall"
 "A cross hally yes" Goddard said.
 Now, then" and Dobbins looked straight at Malcolm Finley. when you came in through the east door, as you say you did. what did you see 9"
 Tt was dusk. ] could see noth- ing distinctly. but l made out the figure of MT. Raynor, fallen to the floor, and I saw lying near him a pistol, which l at once picked up."
 Why"
 T have told you don't know. Merely g. natural unconscious &C., tion."
 "Humph - your story is not very convincing. Then what else did you seer"
 Almost immediately the light was snapped on, and I saw Miss Turner the nurse, in the house doorway"
 And Miss Turner's expression- her attitude? Did she-er-look surprised?"
 That I can't say. l merely saw that it was Miss TurAcr who stood there and my glance flew at once to MT. Raynor.
 You examined him?"
 No; l stood quite still. Mrs. Raynor. startled by the sound of the shot, had appeared at the west door. She had come from the ter rAee where we had tea"
 "Yes. she told all that. Recon struct the scene, please"
 Mrs. Raynor appeared at the west door of the sun parlor, and stood there - IS shocked, as petri- fled, as I was myself"
 Next"
 Next, l think, Miss Raypor came brushing past Miss Turner in the house doorway, and almost at the same instant Orville Kent appeared at the south door, He came in and went at once to his sister, and then we all began 10 make exclamations and ask questions. But there's the scene - as you call it."
 The next thing is," Dobbins DO ceeded, ito fix the time accurately. Do you know it, Air. Finey?"
 T know that it was little be- fore seven - ten minutes or so be- fore the hour. But l didn't look at my watch"
 Do you know the hour, Mrs. Raynor?"
 "No - I've no closer idea than that it was little >before seven."
 Miss Raynor?"
 T think the shot occurred about fifteen minutes before the hour - and yet, ho - put on my boudoir light at five to seven, I think. or was it twenty to? l cant remem- ber. Why does it matter so much ?"
 Do you know, MT. Kent?"
 Not precisely; but when I left Miss Fay at the bridge she had just said it was seven o'clock, and that is nearly five minutes walk away. When I came to the south door ] saw Mir. Finley and the others gath cred round in consternation - just as he described them"
 T have here before me, then. the first arrivals on the scene, with the exception of Miss Turner, think her presence is advisable"
 Dobbins stepped to the door and summoned the nurse. who came at once.
 Please tell me of the tragedy as you know it, Miss Turner" the de- tcctive said.
 There's little to tell" said Miss Turner, who looked utterly worn and exhausted, perhaps owing 10 her with the doctors in the next room. T heard a shot"
