ably the difficulties arising from the
innumerable uncertainties of the
anti ++~ust laws:
"'This analogy may be mislead-
ing, and it certainly sllips over an
important part Of the problem. For
the chief complaint Of business men
in relation to antitrust laws has
been that the rules Of the game are
too vague. In baseball there is a
definite set Of bases and lines, and
everybody in the game knows where
they are A ball on one side of the
line is fair and on the other side
foul. If a batter had to wait until
he had already hit ball or started
running before some one told him
just where the lines were going to
be drawn or where the bases were
going to be put, he would have
reasonable grounds for hesitation.'
''The analogy is misleading in
another respect. The player who is
called out by the umpire merely re-
tires to the side-lines to await his
next turn at bat, while the business
man who proves to have been mis-
taken as to the exact current state
of the law is branded as criminal

ton of the antitrust laws. 1t is in
this respect and for this reason that
the proposed law is a matter OF
such grave concern to business and
to business men.
ut is a fundamental tenet OF
criminal law that the line between
legality and illegality should be
sharly and clearly drawn. The anu
trust laws are VIGOROUSLY unsatls-
factory in this respect A limited
number of acts fall clearly within
their prohibition; a far greater
number are in what might be called

Legal Uncertainties Facing Business.
"The President of the American
Bar Association recently sum-
married the effects of present legal
uncertainties as follows, not with
specific reference to the antitrust
laws but in connection with gen
eral constitutional doctrine OF re-
cent court decisions:
emo lawyer can safely advise
his client what the law IS. NO busl-
ness man or farmer can know II he
is breaking the law, for if he follows
established principles he is likely to
be doing exactly that. What was a
constitutional principle yesterday
may be discarded doctrine to-
morrow, and all this in what has
been so proudly proclaimed a gov
eminent of law and not of men,
Danger Of Further Trade Paralysis.
"In a statement not long ago, Mr..
Thurman w. Arnold, Assistant At

in which the Government might

was to appoint an administrator or

way, which he characterized as fol-
lows:
"sThe competitive way is to out

Nicky came to the door with the
large cardboard carton in his arms.
"Where does this go?"
Unto the kitchen. The other
room is shut off. We intended to
use it for a lab Come along, girls,
and see the pride of the Folly"
It was an old-fashioned kitchen
with a big stove in one corner and
sink in the other. A crude table
stood between the two beneath a
cupboard.
Bill opened the cupboard doors.
"Plenty of stores here" he said, "in
case we get showed in" There were
a half dozen cans Of soup, some
condensed milk, a package of dried
Goldfish and a tin Of cOrned beef

Come get your drink before tho

Ellen came back into the living

bienne and I are like old married
people, we've played together SO
many times we know all the sig
nails"
Ellen's dancing eyes were still.
Stupid! She'd been thinking Of
Bill, forgetting that Nicky had
first place in Fabienne's thoughts.
She said, 1.-TWO hearts," meaning
something entirely different.
They played rubber and, pass
ing Fabienne on her way to chang
ing seats, Ellen ran her hand over
the back Of Fabienne's hair.
you're all mussed, darling" she
said Look at your hair"
There's a mirror in the bed
room," Bill told her.
Thanks, I'll only be a minute"
Fabienne pushed away her chair
and went into the bedroom, going
straight to the highboy mirror
with her comb in hand.
She ran the comb through her
hair, frowning at it's uneven part
in the mirror. Then she saw the
picture!
She glanced about covertly, maxi
ing sure that Ellen was not fol-
lowing her, and then slipped it un-
der the collar box. A fine kettle Of
fish it would be If Ellen saw that
picture on Bills mirror! What it
was doing there didn't occur to her
for even one moment. She was
more concerned about Ellen's re-
action if she were to see it.
When she came back into the
living room with nothing to show
what she had seen, Bill was saving.

the table and, grasping his Shout
ders in her hands, made him look
at her. "You grand person! At last
I've convinced you that you ought
to make something of yourself! I'm
proud, darling!" She gave him a
lasting kiss on his wrinkled FORE
head.
Neither Bill nor Ellen looked up
from their cards.
Nicky gulped uphappily and
turned sheepish eyes to Ellen, who
said, II think it's your deal, Nicky."

! was worn; Bill entertained one per-
son at a time. Bill was not party
boy. There were only three pic
lures on the walls; a framed photo
graph of a college campus, Hol-
bein reprint, a very good one, and
handsome antique map.
Bill was taking off her coat, say
ing, Il told you it was clean but not
comfortable. Make yourself at
home. I'll get some drinks. Bart
lett, you'll find the card table in
the hall closet"
Nicky said, "You got kitchen
here? I'd like to see it."
"Regula4 old woman, isn't he? '
Ellen said smiling. ooh, Bill, are
the cards in your desk? ?"
Bill called back from the kitchen,
mo, you'll find 'em on top of the
bookcase in the bedroom"
Nicky came to the kitchen door.
Fab, come here! Wouldn't you
trust a guy who can't cook to have
a prize stove? Come and look It
all the little gadgets."
Bill said, "The last tenants left
it. All the housekeeping I do is to
fix coffee in the morning"
Fabienne looked around the
kitchen and saw mute evidences of
Bills meager bachelor existence: a
single plate and cup and saucer
neatly placed beside shining per-
colator, row of unmatched
glasses, a can opener, a tin Of bis
cults and an electric fruit squeezer
occupied the uncurtained cupboard.
Poor Bill! He deserved better
than that. He deserved what Ellen
could give him and what Fabienne
would have given portion of her
life to offer. And yet, she didn't
deep in her heart-want Ellen to
give it to him.
In the bedroom Ellen looked on
top of the bookcase beside Bills
narrow bed for the cards that were
not there. She went across the
room to look on top Of the highboy.
There were no cards, but there
was a hair brush, a comb, a stetho-
scope, a leather collar box and, in
back of the collar box, newspaper
clipping of girls picture. 1t was
Fabienne, radiant and glowing,
with a corsage Of orchids dripping
from the collar of her sable coat.
1t was the same picture young
Tomassino had shown the doctor
one day in September, long before
Bill Mallory and Fabienne had met
in the clinic that fateful day.
Ellen caught her underlip be-
meath her teeth and hastily drew
the picture out from it's hiding
place, setting it up in plain view
in front of the collar box. No, it
would be more obvious if she
propped it up in front of the mir
ror. Fabienne, if she came in to
comb her hair, would be more sure
to see it then. Perhaps if she had
some idea of how Bill felt about
her.
Bill said, Hi, Ellen! I forgot. l

asked.

her. THE apartment was being

offered. They're clean bit not

"You know, Bill" Fabienne said
to him in the rumble seat of
Nicky's car, where she huddled
under his great coat, IT never

He nodded. Have to tuck the

bare rooms, spotlessly clean, inn
possibly untidy, in the rear of q
box-like apartment house in East
Forty-ninth street.
Fabienne's eyes ate up everv de-
tail of the square living room, fill
ing in pictures from the tales the
furnishings told her. The neat desk
and the worn books. the depres-

such serious potential threats to
business recovery as bill intro
duced by Senator OMahoney and
Representative Hobbs at the last
| Company Of New York in the cur
its monthly review of business and
financial conditions in the United
States and abroad, published to-
day.
""This bill would provide addi-

subcommittee in charge of the bill
was reported to have received in
quiries from more than a thousand
business men all over the country
indicating a desire to testify before
any action was taken. In view Of the
probable necessity Of extensive
hearings, the subcommittee decided
to suspend further deliveration on
the bill until the next session. The
measure, accordingly, remains be-
fore Congress for action at the ses-

"The bill would also add certain
forfeitures to the list of penaltles
