REGALIA IS ALMOST MODERN IN ORIGIN

 REGALIA IS ALMOST
 MODERN IN ORIGIN
 British monarchy and coronation go back very far in time, but the regalia now in use only dotes from the reign of King Charles II in 1861. The ancient regalia disappear- ed, partly because some earlier kings sold part of it for cash which they needed. The balance was sold un- ! der Cromwells republican rule. The money was turned into the treas- ury of the commonwealth, the Puri- tans of that day having no use for royal baubles. When Charles II came to be crowned, an entire new set of regalia was made, being modelled from ancient drawings Of the things which had disappeared.
 St. Edwards Crown, the one with which the King is crowned in Westminster Abbey, is circlet of gold, adorned with rosettes ot precious stones, in turn surrounded by diamonds. From the circlet rise four crosses and four fieur -de-lys alternately. all crusted with dia- monds and other gems. From the tops of the cdosSes there rise two completely intertwined arches. From their intersection sthere is an arch on top of which is a golden cross also set with colored gems as well as diamonds. At the very top of the cross is very large pearl.
 vICToRIA's GROWN
 ALSO TO BE USED
 The other crown used in cere- monies is the Imperial State Grown which was made for Queen Vic toria in 1888. Its weight is over 39 ounces. It is circlet of open work in silver, having in front part of the famous Star of Africa diamond previously mentioned. On the re- verse side, it has famous sapphire from the crown of Charles II. The rest of the circlet is alternately emeralds and sapphires enclosed n borders in which diamonds pre- dominate. The crosses, which rise from the circlet, have each fine emerald in the center except the very front one, which contains the Black Princes ruby.
 The sceptre, which is placed in the right hand of the King at his coronation, is of gold and through out its length of three feet it is richly ornamented with diamonds, rubies and emeralds. The sceptre with the dove, which is placed in the Kings left hand, is also of gola and is three seven inches long. At the top is a golden cross with a white enamelled dove. Its eyes, beak and feet are of gold. The rest is adorned with precious stones.
 In addition to an orb and spurs which are of gold and precious stones, there is the famous jewelled sword of state, the most costly of it's kind in the world. It was made for that famous rake, King George ", and cost $30,0o0. Its value to-

AO tllC CIOWIL UclOllSS WlldG IS probably the most famous dia- mond in the world - the Koh.- moor. It came from the once world-celebrated mines of Golconda in southern India and was used in the crowning of the Great Moguls, the Moslem rulers of a greater part of India, until 1739 when the Shah of Persia, having conquered India, ultimately got his hands on the diamond, which had been hidden away. It eventually found its way back to India and when the British conquered the PunJap, they also bagged the diamond. The army sent it to Queen Victoria, who wore it in a brooch, but Queen Alexandra and later Queen Mary had it set in the crown which is placed on the Queens head at the coronation Queen Elizabeth, for brief space on May 12, will be its possessor.
 516-CARAT DIAMOND
 SET IN KINGS SCEPTRE
 Another similarly priceless gem is the one known as the Black Princes ruby. It belonged to king of Granada. Don Pedro, king of Castle, wanted it. Finding no other means to obtain possession, Pedro killed the owner and pocketed the ruby. Then he did a Quixotic thing in keeping with Castilian character An English army under the famous Black Prince had rendered hin, needed aid in a battle near Vit- toria. So Don Pedro gave the Black Prince the ruby which. after many vicissitudes, now adorns the itn- perial state crown.
 The most recent of famous crown gems is the Star of Africa. It was found in 1905 in mine near Pretoria. South Africa. The govern ment of that dominion purchased it and presented it to the late King Edward VII to be used as an addi- tion to the crown jewelry. It was cut into a number of brilliants, the biggest being set in the Kings sceptre. It weighs 516 1-2 carats

Must Be Wicked

The Standard Oil and American Tobacco companies were dissolved in 1911. Simultaneously the court agonized trust-busters by ruling that the Sherman Act must be con- strued "n the light of reason" and that agreements in restraint of trade were illegal only when they limited competition unreasonably. Later the court was to hold, in ef- feet, that it was legal to establish a monopoly unless this were done with wicked intent. ...
 The United Shoe Machinery case involved an instance of complete monopoly, but in 1918 the court approved the corpora
 ton on the ground that it's merger of plants and machines made for efficiency.
 Then, in 1920, the court turned down the government in its suit to dissolve the United States Steel Corporation. Four justices, with three dissenting. held that dissolu-

PROFESSIONALISM
BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER

 Twas a balmy bright May evening,
 Back in nineteen thirty-seven, And mad dogs and Englishmen Raised din to high heaven Yes children I remember it well,
 We went to England that spring, Paid many guineaS for good seats,
 Saw the procession of George, the king That was the time recollect,
 They were kaggling about the court supreme, The year. too of the disastrous floods, It was day for letting of steam Your dad and sailed one day With many another friend, Well recall that murky morn
 first saw England and Lands End. Those coronation days were hectic,
 know I'll never see their like, Streets were crowded with man and beast, Motor and many bike. couldn't tell you where we sat,
 Guns were popping and everything Crowds were singing shouting wild,
 Bands played God Save the King. We held our seats hour on hour,
 Who wouldn't at several pounds throw? Watched the show all that day
 Way into an English evening glow By nightfall we pretty cramped,
 We'd consumed all our boxed lunch, Your dads nerves were pretty well shot, He gave a guard punch We finally struggled through the crowds, . It had New York's widest orgies beat; Found ourselves outside Ye Olde Boar inn, With one accord said: Lets eat" - The amount of food we ate was terrific, Each of us played the gutton; We Quaffed good ale, devoured cold veal pie, And demolished pounds of mutton, Yes, children, it famous time
 With fanfare reaching to high heaven; You say it sounds pretty dull to you? Maybe so but that nineteen thirty seven.

It's a Broad Law

The Sherman Act was passed in 1890. Designed to prevent monopo- listic corporations from controlling prices by acquiring plants and re- stricting production, it prohibited suppression of competition. It de- clared illegal "every contract, com bination in the form of trust Or otherwise, or conspiracy, in restraint of trade or commerce. ." Any one engaging in such a combina- ton, or monopolizing or attempting to monopolize "any part of" that trade was subject to $5,000 fine or year in prison. This was a broad law and some of it's earlier victims were labor unions, although the law had grown out of agitation the oil, whiskey, lead, suarN Nand other trusts.
 In 1895 the Supreme Court
 took it's first great whack against the antitrust laws. The govern ment had sued the American
 Sugar Refining Co.,, whose acqui- SitiOns had resulted in a nearly complete monopoly. The court
 held that manufacture was in- herently local pursuit and that combination of manufacturers didn't violate the act, since it af-
 fected interstate commerce only indirectly.
 This historic decision attracted no great attention because the free silver" issue was blazing. An era of big mergers and cor solicitations followed. President Theodore Roosevelt, differentiat- ing between good trusts" and bad trusts" held the Sherman Act couldn't be enforced, and pro- posed federal incorporation or li- censing of corporations for pur- poses of regulation.
 But in 1904, deciding the North erin Securities case, the court or dered dissolution of company formed to hold stock of competing northwestern railroads.
 And in 1905 the government was able to obtain a dissolution of the Beef Trust" a packers com bination, in a court decision which seemed to overthrow the Sugar Trust" decision by bringing man. ufacturing within the scope of the act.

Washington, May 3-It is rather commonly believed that the anti trust laws virtually have been emasculated by past decisions of the Supreme Court. But even the most conservative lawyer has to admit that when it comes to pre- dieting the courts present-day position on an old issue, you never can tell.
 In antitrust cases the court, per- haps. has demonstrated its mental elasticity more frequently than in any other field. That's one fact which makes the governments dis solution suit against the Aluminium Company of America so interesting The court consistently has held Iagainst price-fiXing agreements among competitors, but its decisions as to monopolies - the Aluminium company is charged with being a monopoly under the Sherman AcJ have been varied.
 The justice department shares widespread curiosity as to what
 the court will say in the Alumni mum case.
 Reports that the suit is only an administration movement against rising prices are but half true. It
 was reported in these dispatches last August, after some major oil
 companies and their officers had
 been indicted for alleged price
 fixing, that "The department of justice will soon be prosecuting
 important individuals and corpo-
 ratiOns in other industries on charges of violating the Sherman
 Act"
 The background stretches over decades ill which demands for vigorous enforcement, or more teeth in the law in order to pre- vent concentration of wealth and economic power, have been coun- tered by demands for relaxation, on the ground that the law inter fered with business efficiency and fostercd ruinous competition.
