Information reaching the Federal
Trade Commission indicates that the
number of American industries organ
ICED to take advantage of the Webb
Pomerene law Is to be considerably en-.
larged. That measure grants exemp-
ton from the antitrust laws to Ameri-
can producers insofar as they may care
to organize to engage In export trade.
Some Sc associations Of American
professors and producers have been set
up under the law, and the recent in
creases in the national foreign trade
have operated to stimulate inquiries and
set afoot new organization efforts In
trade quarters where the possibilities
Some of the most recently organized
of the export associations have had
notable success. The Copper Export
Association, Inc, after scarcely three
years of operation has come to dominate
the export sales Of that metal. Steel
and oil expert associations came into
existence only last year. Figures indi-
cate that the total sales of export as
sociations operating under the statute
in the last fiscal year reported were
1911 ,000, 600, and 1t is estimated that
the current year.
Installment selling has been much
overemphasized In general business
discussion during recent years and Is
in reality an American market factor
of less importance than assumed, in
the view of economists who have con-
pleted marketing studies for the Hoover
committee on economic trend.
M. e. Copeland Of Harvard University,
summarizing the estimates in the field,
produced evidence to show that ma
tional retail sales Of all products In
the United States have been running
at rate probably in excess of S40,-
600, 900 900 per annum. One estimate
places the annual sales In excess of
Sac, 600, 00o, 900. Articles sold on in
stalment, on the other hand, in any one
recent year have not taken up more
than sl,5o0,000 out of the retail sales
total, even though auto, refrigerator
furniture, jewelry and electrical device
totals are included In the list Of trades
for which time sales are agreed to be
specially demanded.
LAS O matter of fact, It 10 probable
that the amounts spent for advertising
and sales promotion annually In the
United States have had o greater in
fluence," DR.. Copeland concluded, than
instalment sales on developments dur

"The resort to mudslinging, the effort
to besmirch my character and to
weaken my influence by publishing to
the. world that I have purchased and
sold stock indicates the desperation of
the enemy and deserves the contempt
of all decent men and women"
Bishop Cannon quoted the following
Geographic inquiry from Senator Glass
on october % last:
"For some unexplained reason affi-
davits have today been placed in my
hands relating to alleged stock gam
bling on margin by you with the late
firm Of Kable & Co., New York City,
covering considerable period and to
the extent of several hundred thousand
dollars. Would you have me promptly
deny for you participation in any such
transaction? I am leaving for Chatta-
nooga early Monday morning"

telegram" the bishop said, was, I
think, properly digested and appraised
and replied promptly as follows:

BACK IN OLDSTATUS.
Commission Rules Single
] Public Utility Corporation
Must Be Formed.

More than a year Of negotiation and
arbitration by the Nations press for
the short-wave channels set aside for
its use in handling of news trafic has
gone for naught. The Federal Radio
Commission has tossed the whole situa-
ton back to where 1t was in May OF
last year, because of the evident failure
of the various factions to agree on just
how the channels should be distributed
and under what conditions.
In a sweeping order, in effect rescind-
ing all of its previous actions involving
the Giants of 20 transoceanic and 20
continental channels to the various
newspaper and press association appli-
cants, the commission ruled that a
single public utility corporation to serve
the entire press of the country first must
be organized. Then it will consider as
signing the channels for point to point
communication domestically. 1t already
has allocated the 20 continental chan
nels.
Competition Is Held Bar.
The press interests have contended
that it is impracticable to establish a
single utility corporation. because OF the
natural competition among newspapers
and press associations. They sought to
have the channels allocated to the indi-
vidual applicants for their exclusive use.
The commission now orders new
deal all around. First, it orders that
Joseph Pierson of the Chicago Tribune,
who has been the guiding spirit of the
enterprise, restore himself as trustee
for the original applicants for the
channels, and to him it reissues con-
struction permits for the 20 trans
oceanic channels, on the basis OF a

Methodist, sees in the publication OF
his stock transactions a renewal OF
attacks" made on him during his pre-
election anti-Smith campaign and "in-
spired' by his efforts to rid Southern
Democracy of "Raskobism."
In a statement referring to accounts
in the press of his dealings with the
defunct brokerage firm of Kable g. Co.

ruptcy, Bishop Cannon declared the

He asked what bearing his private
stock transactions have upon the ques-
ton Of the defeat or election of Alfred
E. Smith, and what have they to do
today with the issue of Raskobism and
Southern Democracy, or prohibition and
lawlessness?"
The bishop quoted kilograms regard
ing his speculations which passed be-
tween him and Senator Glass of Vir-
ginia and the New York Evening World

replying to inquiries by the Senator and
the newspaper as to his stock dealings,

accidentally struck a middle-aged
woman. DR.. ]. c. Delano (the
founder of the World Famous
Blood Medicine Herbs of Life) was
called in to dress the wound and
found that the patient was suffer

DR.. Delano started in on his
new case with determination to
bring about satisfactory results;
and at the end of thirty days the
patient was not only completely
cured but her hair over the BRUSHED
spot had grown to such remark

questioned her as to what was it
that she had been using on her
hair during the treatment. Her re-
ply was: that she had only been
using the ointment prescribed by
the doctor.

doctor started straightway into
