Government reinforcements which

It was extremely difficult to learn
the exact situation around Terlel be-
cause of sharply conflicting reports
issued by opposing forces. The govern

claims, saying all attacks launched by
General Francisco FRANCOIS insurgent
forces were repulsed.
Despite this variance of reports,
however, it was known that all or

STATUTES AGAINST

Declares Sherman Law En-
acted AZ Years Ago Total
ly Inadequate in Light of
Its Changes and Vast
Changes in u. S. Economic,
Social Structure

Washington, Jan. 3.-(AP)-Attor-
ney General Cummings recommended
today a congressional investigation Of
what he called the inadequacy of the
antitrust laws.
He made the proposal in his annual
report, which also revived two fea-
lures of President Roosevelt's defeat
ed court reorganization bill.
"Obviously," he report said, "the
statute (anti-trust law in it's present
form, is not adequate for the purpose
of dealing with the many ramifica
tons of the problem. A thorough and
comprehensive study is necessary"
Discussing means of eliminating de-
lays in administration of justice, Cum
mings said it was "highly desirable"
that Congress provide for an admin
istrative officer to supervise Federal
courts. He also suggested 'seriou.
thought" be given increased "flexi-
bility" for the courts.
Cummings made no specific recon
mendations respecting the antitrust
law. He noted, however, there had
been no basic change in the Sherman
antitrust act since it's enactment il,
1890, and added:
"In the meantime, however, it has
undergone many notifications by
judicial Interpretation. During the AZ
wears that the statute has been in Ell
feet, our economic and social struc-
ture has undergone vast change.
Though aimed at the suppression,
of monopolies and restraints of
trade, efforts to enforce the law have
been only partially successful"

President Roosevelt has more than

AS an ex-assistant naval secretary,

Quite a few of our lawmakers agree

Of course our pacifistic organiza-
lions are hostile to such a program.
Two Billions FOreSeen.
But just now militarism is in the at
mosphere; it would not surprise me
to see Congress vote the desired cou-
pie of billions for armament purposes.
Arguments are exactly like those
which we heard during the early
19OOs-up to 1914, when the World
war started. Many of us do not recall
much of what the nations general
complex was then, but I am old
enough to remember it. It is dupli-

and at any other time that thev

cup over.
Canaries need cod liver oil as
much as any one else. Consider
ing that they should never be In the
direct rays of the sun anyway, and
that there's not much to speak Of
from the bird standpoint in winter
at best, maybe they need it more
That doesn't mean getting a spoon
full Of the stuff and approaching
the creature In determined fashion
Such tactics wouldn't go. Little
brown pills aren't the ticket either
Canary. birds have their own type
Of cod liver oil put up in food. The
whole business Is peckable.
About the worst thing which can
happen to a canary, outside Of vio-
lent death, is a cold. Not from the
standpoint of vanity either. Canaries
have no objection to red noses, as red
noses go. It's the awful effect on a
birds physique. Even birds that
have been kept absolutely out of
drafts might fall. Don't expect q
canary to cough or ask for a box
Of tissues to prove the point. When
he begins to sit on his perch In q
dumpy, listless fashion, feathers all
pufYed out and eyes dull, he usually
has cold. Then's the time to put
him in q warm. quiet room, with his
cod liver oil food, and contact the
nearest canary specialist.

BY MARY ALLEN HOOD.

Don't place the canary's cage too
near the radiator. 1t may be awfully
cold outside, and all that, but out
side isn't inside. That little yellow
songster isn't used to extremes OF
temperature either way. Seventy
degrees is hot enough. Any more
heat Is liable to cause false moult.
Washing a canary's perch Is bad
business, especially in cold weather.
Takes forever to dry one Of the
things out. Damp perches cause
rheumatism. An old kitchen knife
can be used to scrape the perch
clean. Then get small piece OF
sandpaper and finish of the job.
One Of the firms dealing in canaries
stocks line of perch covers.
They're little sanded tubes, all bear
ing the same design. Should match
the furniture of any canary cage.
They slip on and OF easily with
little trouble to all concerned, in
cluding the canary. In addition,
they help to keep birds manicure
under control.
Water, as 1t runs out Of the tap,
is generally about right in tempera-
ture, unless the weather's hitting the
low parts on q thermometer. Then
it's too cold. Canaries don't like
that. Being as most canary cages
aren't furnished with heating equip
ment and must take things as they
come, water should be furnished
with the chill OF. Birds can use
