D. c. Mother
Knew Best

XXTISE mothers find the things
Wv that keep children contented,
happy, well. Most of them have
learned they can depend on one thing
to restore a youngsters good nature
when he's cross, fretful, upset.
The experience of Mrs. L. ]. Grant,
901 G. ST., S. E, Washington, is a
typical one. She says: Il have used
California Fig Syrup with Howard
and Frank for quite some time.
Whenever they're the least bit con-
stipated or restless give them a
little. 1t has them comfortable,
happy, well in a jiffy. Their splendid
condition proves l knew best when
] decided TO use this wonderful
preparation with them" ...-..-
Physicians endorse the use of pure
vegetable California Fig Syrup when
bad breath, coated tongue, dizziness,
feverishness, listlessneSs, etc., show
a child's bowels are in need Of help.
Weak stomach and bowels are toned
by its gentle aid; appetite increased;
digestion and assimilation are so
assisted that weak, undernourished
children quickly improve in weight,
strength and energy.
The genuine always bears the word
California. So look for that when
buying. All drugstores have it.

ANTITRUST LAWS LITERALLY
CONSTRUED IN OIL FIRM CASE

was dissolved During the 20 years
since then competition in the field has
greatly increased, not only because OF
the dissolution, but due principally to
the growth of other companies, new
production and selling methods and a
larger market Competition in the oil
industry 20 years ago was practically
non-existent. Competition today Is
keen.
Changed Conditions.
In view of this material change the
decision that competition In the pres
ent instance would not be restrained
by the proposed merger Is not incon-
SiStent with the ruling of the Supreme
Court. 1t is conceivable that q similar
decision might be reached relative to
the talked-of consolidation Of other
Standard Oil units.
This factor of changed economic con-
ditions recently led another Federal
Court, in the packers consent decree
case, to remove the restrictions pro-
hibiting the national packers from dis
tTibuting and wholesaling non-meat
food products. Ten years ago 1t had been
determined that this would likely re-
strain trade and violate the antitrust
laws Today, because of q changed
business situation, 1t is held to be legal.
Thus the courts, In step with modern
business trends, may so apply the pro-
visions of the trust statutes as to obvi-
ate any radical change by Congress in
these laws. The Supreme Court, how
ever, has yet to make the, final de-
termination in such matters, so far as
the Federal judiciary is concerned.
Should a decision by that tribunal be
contrary to those reached in the lower
courts action by Congress at its next
session, as proposed by President
Hoover, may be awaited.

servatively and some authorities believe
the forecasts of 100000 vehicles In
1891 are too low. The building pro-
gram is not expected to exceed 1880,
but will be better balanced. A number
of industries are now speeding UP after
taking their price cuts, such as shoes,
rubber tires and the textiles. Others
are steadily strengthening their position
through adherence to curtailment such
as copper mining, petroleum, sugar and
paper.
I'm financial circles there is a dis

BY DEAN DINWOODEY.

That the Federal courts will literally
conStrue and apply the antitrust stat
utes In the light of changing economic
conditions has been further demon
strated by court approval Of the pro-
posed merger of the Standard Oil Co.
of New York and the Vacuum Oil Co.
The decision of the three judges of
the Circuit Court of Appeals at st.
Louis that the union Of the two COM
panies would not violate the famous
Standard Oil dissolution decree has also
served again to allay any apprehension
of interference by the courts with bust
ness consultations in fields which, de-
spite such mergers, will remain COM
petitive.
Decision Not Inconsistent.
In 1911 the Supreme Court of the
United States declared that the Stand
ard Oil combination then constituted
an illegal combination under the Sher-
man antitrust law. Today the merger
of two units of that combination is
found not only to be legal but not con-
trary to the 1911 decree.
These seemingly contradictory re-
SUITS are not, in fact, inconsistent, nor
did the lower Federal Court, in deciding
the Socony-Vacuum case, decline to
follow the principles announced by the
Supreme Court in the Standard Oil dis
solution case The explanation for the
emergency of result lies in the fact that
economic conditions in the production,
distribution and sale of petroleum and
it's products have materially changed
in the last 20 years.
In the dissolution case, the Supreme
Court determined that competitive con-
ditions in the oil industry would not
exist until the old Standard Oil group

INTEREST OF PUBLIC

Special Dispatch to The star.
NEW YORK, February 1O.-Commis-
sion houses with wire systems leading
into all parts of the country report a
decided increase in public interest IN
securities in the last few days.
This is not all of an investment
character, however. 1t is well known
that many small operators have been
trying to recoup losses on the long
side of the stock market by selling
short. Having been rampant bulls,
they became equally unbalanced in
their Judgment on the bear side. They
represent an element that has little
courage and is already showing signs
of panic over the sudden upward turn
in prices. The public that buys stocks
when they are extremely weak is out
of the market on the other hand,
there is another considerably body Of
buyers who always wait until prices
seem to have stabilized at higher level
before making their commitments.
They have not yet been heard from.
