Monopoly

The Federal Trade Commission has again appeal
ed to Congress to strengthen the antitrust laws.
As have pointed out before, the antitrust laws are
now crtualy meaningless because of gaping loophoe
Although the law forbds rival industries to get together
Illegally to work out pricing and other agreements to avoid
competition there is nothing to prevent large concern
from buying outright its chief competitors and thus estab
fishing virtual monopoly outside of effective government
control
This is exactly what has happened in recent years The
FTC says that than 2l50 Independent manufactur
ing and mining companies have been absorbed since 1910
as result Of the rising number of corporate mergers.
What interest do trade unonsts have in this matter?
Simply this: Competition is in the long run the only elec
tive of keeping prices under control Unbridled
nopoy invariably leads to price gougngand that hurts
all of us.

TravelOgues Given
At Rotary Program
Continued from Page One)

cldently IN very good English.
Laird told of some of the Ro-
tary meetings he had attended
while in California. He found
that visiting Rotarians are given
special consideration. One club,
at Palm Springs, has a relative
ly small membership, with visit
ors often outnumbering the mem
bers at meetings.
Paul Void said he had the
privilege of visiting founding Ro-
tary No. 1 IN Chicago. 1t is
the only one in the city and has
a membership of about 800. The
dues are $3.50 a year. Visitors
are so numerous that no attempt
is made to introduce them, ex-
cept those from foreign coun-
tries. There are 100 or more
visitors at all sessions.
The club has always met at
the Sherman hotel and has an
average attendance of 70 per
cent. The clubs speakers bud
get is $4,000.
Wykoff, a guest at the Laurel
meeting, was invited to speak
concerning the recreation pro-
gram he will head here. He said
he hoped a good playground
will be established at or near
the ball park, for which consid-
cradle equipment will be needed.
Although there will be baseball
for all ages, a program is also
for tots.
He said he expected the sum-
mer program will be in full
swing within a week or so.

Explosive Mines
Still ~Jeopardize
World Shipping

NEW YORK.-Despite the mine
sweeping efforts of the navies OF
many countries since the end OF
World War II, the worlds seaways
are still not free from the danger
of mines.
More than 200 ships have been
sunk or damaged by mines since
the wars end.
The United States navy says no
guarantee can be given that even
after all the sweepers have been
called home, a mine will not pop
up occasionally in the next 20
years. A World War I mine was
discovered last July off Cape May,
N. j.
The worst mine disaster since
World War II was the recent sink
ing Of the Danish steamer Koben-
haven. The small coastal excursion
vessel blew up in the Kattegat with
a reported loss Of 200 lives.
Many Ships Lost
Figures released by a New York
war risk insurance authority show
that PSI ships Of all nationalities
have struck mines since We day in
the Atlantic and Mediterranean,
and since VI day in the Pacific. OF
this total, 116 we're either sunk or
declared a total loss.
Although the danger from mines
has not yet been eliminated, it has
been reduced UNNECESSARILY by a
t~wo-pronged international effort.
First, all navies with minesweep-
ing facilities launched a c%oordinat-
ed program Of mine clearance.
This began with the establishment
and maintenance of swept chan
nels to permit resumption of es-
sential traffic. Later, known mine
fields we're swept.
The second phase Of the program
was the setting up Of a system to
enable shipmasters to pass safely
through areas mined during the
war.

Half the layers are placed one OF,

"BABY'S STOCKING"
From Mrs. II. B. X,

In answer to the request of Mrs.

the poem Hang Up the Baby's
Stocking:
Hang up the baby's stocking,
Be sure you don't forget;
The dear little dimpled darling
Has never seen Christmas yet.
But told him all about it,
And he opened his big blue eyes;
I'm sure he understood me.
He looked so funny and wise.
Dear, dear! What tiny stocking,
It doesn't take much to hold
Such little pink toes as baby's
Safe from the frost and cold.
But then, for the baby's Christmas
It never will do at all,
For Santa Claus won't be looking
For anything half so small.
I know what we'll do for baby;
I've thought Of the very best
plan.
I'll borrow stocking of Grandma,
The largest that ever I can.
And you shall hang it by mine,
Mother,
Right here in the corner-so-
And write letter to Santa
And faSten it on the toe.
Dear Santa Claus, this is a stock
ing,
Hung up for our baby dear:
You never have seen our darling,
For he only came this year.
But he is a beautiful baby!
And now, before you go,
Please cram this stocking with
presents,
From the top clear down to the
toe."

CHANGING CHILD'S NAME.
(From Mrs. M. s., Alexandria,

sent to the Board of Health
for my child's birth certificate. To
my surprise her name was listed
incorrectly. I was disturbed about
it and wrote back. They told me
her name was recorded that way
and must remain unless both par
ents signed for her name to be
changed Gust how that error was
made I don't know. I wrote back
at once and they sent me paper
to fill out agreeing to change the
child's name. My husband and I
both signed the papers and in a
few days we received birth GER
tif1cate with correct name. So
write to your State Board of
Health; they will at least advise
you about it. Some States may be
different, and time may have
caused changes. It has been IL
years since this happened.
If you are happy about chang
ing the child's name, what could

COLLECTIONS OF SAYINGS.
(Fronl Mrs. T. J. G., WaShingtonJ
Attention, please, Mrs. M. S. T.,
Arlington: I'VE hear lots" This
very old saying was brought over
from Scotland many years ago.
It was the favorite saying of a
grandpa, who used to sit in a big
kitchen reading in his rocking
chair while the neighbors and
his wife gossiped every evening.
When there was a pause in the
conversations, he would look over
his paper and say the above re-
mark.
I recently had the good for
tune to see the late Bill Robin
son, famous tap dancer, and his
advice to a young amateur tap
dancer was, 1T isn't so much
What you do on the stage as what
you do off the stage"

that somehow sounded fine in the

unsatisfactory that we never turn
it on any more. Now. in the in

sidered having a radio repairman
work over the insides and replace
defective parts, the two small

a new one entirely. I would ap-
preciate suggestions from other

doing such a thing.
