PROPOSES A TRUST REMEDY
It provides a method for combining under one management and control cor
porations from one end of the nation to the other.
“Concerted action among the states will end all the trouble, if every
state in the Union will purge its corporation laws of all objectionable fea
tures, then the breeding places of industrial monstrosities are destroyed, it
appears to me that it would require but a small amount of constructive states
manship to bring about a state conference and united action on this grave
subject.”
Mr. Farrar ridicules the proposed scheme of E. H. Gary, president of the
Steel Tru*” for government regulation of prices. He says: “For government
to fix the prices of merchandise bought and sold in commerce is utterly be
yond the power of any legislative body in America.
CHARGED WITH SMUGGLING
Nathan Allen, the Indicted leather
trust magnate of Kenosha, Wis., ac
cused of smuggling at New York, will,
it is stated, made a spirited defense.
It is said the Allen side of the Jenkins
Imbroglio will specify an attempt to
carry out a blackmail scheme. That
his wife believes absolutely in Allen’s
Innocence is shown by the fact that
they spent the entire summer togeth
er on a Montana ranch.
Indictments charging Nathan Allen
of Kenosha, Wis., and John R. Collins
of Memphis, Tenn., with the smug
gling of jewels valued at more than
SIOO,OOO were brought to light in the
office of United States District Attor
ney Wise in New York. The gems are
alleged to have been smuggled into
that port from the steamship Lusi
tania on June 25, 1909.
The indictments were the outcome
of the testimony before the federal
grand jury of Mrs. Helen Dwelle Jen
kins, to whom the jewelry alleged to
have been smuggled was presented, and from whom it was later stolen while
she was living at a New York hotel. Following the theft of the gems there
was a great deal of publicity given to Mrs. Jenkins and Mr. Allen, and the
matter was finally settled by a consideration of $72,000, of which Mrs. Jenkins
says she received $31,000.
Collins, a coal operator of Tennessee, was a fellow passenger of Allen, the
indictment in the Tennesseean’s case recites, and it charges him with having
smuggled a necklace consisting of five strands of pearls with a diamond and
ruby clasp, a pearl and diamond bracelet and other articles of jewelry and
wearing apparel. The charge of conspiracy is also laid at his door.
GETS FORTUNE FROM GATES
munificent bequest, but started in studying to earn it at once.
Baker was a student in the St. Charles high school until he finished his
studies there last fall; he was half-back on the school eleven and is an all
around athlete. “Henry is a bright boy,” Mr. Gates once said. “He is a lad
who studies and plays football too and that is the right kind. I want him to
get an education. He will find an education means more to him that all the
money In the world.”
WOULD TAX THE HEIRESSES
Some tlmx ago Representative Sa
bath of Illinois introduced a resolution
In congress levying a tariff of 25 per
cent, upon all marriage dowries, set
tlements between Americans and for
eigners. Sentiment In favor of such
a tax has been growing since and it
there is any way of passing a law
which will be constitutional and ef
fective at the same time, to regulate
this marriage barter, steps to do so
will probably be taken in the next ses
sion of congress.
There is an economic side to the
marriage of our rich American girls
to titled Europeans. It is estimated
that the purchase of these titles costs
the enormous sum of $1,000,000,000
every ten years —a drain that few
countries in the world, perhaps no
other country except our own, could
stand.
The fact that it is wealth which
titled foreigners are seeking when
they marry American girls is self-
evident. Whoever hears of a European noble marrying a poor American girl!
Whoever hears of an English heiress marrying a poor American? If Inter
national marriages were based on love the rule would work both ways.
Uniform state laws governing cor
porations rather than federal corpora
tion control is the remedy proposed
for trusts by Edgar H. Farrar, presi
dent of the American Bar association.
“The great American national dis
grace,” said Mr. Farrar at the recent
convention of the bar association at
Boston, “Is found In the Issuance of
fictitious or watered stock. This is
made possible by those corporation
laws which provide no governmental
supervision over the organization of
corporations which require no part of
the capital stock to be paid in money
and which permit the issuance of
stock at the pleasure of the organizers
and directors at such valuations as
they may choose to place on them. To
my mind, the most vicious of all the
provisions in the statutes above enu
merated is that authorizing one cor
poration to own and vote stock in an
other. This provision is the mother
of the holding company and the trust.
Henry Rockwell Baker, a twenty
year-old youth of St. Charles, 111., will
get $250,000 when he is graduated
from college. Baker is the late John
W. Gates’s only nephew. Mr. Gates
was very fond of him; the millionaire
bequeathed SIO,OOO to be given to him
at once for his expenses at college
and $250,000 when he gets his degree.
But he will not play football. Al
though his uncle placed no restric
tions upon him, the lad remembers
that Gates was opposed to football,
and, for that reason, will not attempt
to make a team.
He has promised when he leaves
college and comes into his $250,000,
that he will stay away from Wall
street. This is also out of deference
to his late uncle’s wishes. John W.
Gates once advised him, ii he ever
got hold of any money, to keep away
from that mart of speculation and the
boy regards this advice as a request.
Baker was greatly surprised by the

ATTACHMENT FOR INCUBATOR
Electric Light Operated by Thermo

When Temperature Is Right.
A time-saving attachment for in
cubators that should increase the effi
ciency of these mechanical hens has
been invented by a Louisiana man.
Chickens cannot be raised without a
great deal of attention, and the poul
try raiser who uses incubators usually
puts in a good part of his time going
around among them to see if the tem
peratures are right. If there are many
of these machines and he has to con
sult the thermometer in each one it
takes time. The attachment here con

lated to burn either weakly when the
temperature in the box is too low or
to go out altogether, or to burn only
when the incubator requires attention.
Whichever way it is, the owner can
tell at a glance around his group of
hatching machines whether any need
his services and, if so, which it is.
Runway for Chicks.
When a large box is used for a sum
mer coop for chicks, after they have
left the brooder or are weaned from
the hen, it should be provided with a
small inclosed run. This run Is made
by nailing a wooden frame to the
open side of the box and covering it
on all sides and the top with closely
woven poultry netting. In such a
coop or colony house tte chicks will
have all the fresh air they need at
night and will be otherwise protected
and cannot escape till they are fed
In the morning.
Fresh Air Essential.
Fresh air for laying hens is Just as
sssential as for young chicks. One
cannot expect to get plenty of eggs if
the hens are confined in a tight house
either winter or /jmmer. Have plen

FALL HATS FOR CHILDREN
Many Varieties and Styles Are Being
Offered —Charming Creation
of Whits Cloth,
Little people are likely to be care
less about their clothes, and hats es

home-coming, mother or nurse may
be obliged to go or send to town for
this accessory. There are a great
many varieties from which to select
the early fall chapeau. There are
hats of white cloth, of heavy, corded
silk, and of suede. A charming white
cloth hat has a dome-shaped crown,
finished at the bottom with a pleated
cloth band. About this is twisted
white wool cord, ending in large wool
balls. Another style, sure to be be
coming, Is of rough white cloth, with
a band of royal blue velvet, and at
the side a tiny round cluster of bril
liant red wool berries and green
leaves. A delightful color scheme
this, and every effective. A style
sure to suit the curly-haired girl is of
ecru corded silk, with black and
cerise satin facing. A short, blunt
ecru feather stands up on one side,
while a row of flat buttons, made of
black satin, with cerise rims, trims
the other side.

STYLES IN HAIR DRESSING
Smaller Chapeaux Will Necessitate
Radical Changes In the Fashion
ing of Coiffures.
The gradual revival of the small
hat is causing several modifications
in the style of our coiffures. The day
of piles upon piles of curls has quite
passed, and it is even considered good
style to wear the hair almost flat, so
long as it is not strained back from
the face. In fact, there are a few
women who have always kept to this
fashion of dressing their hair, and
there is one big dressmaker, noted
for her distinction, who insists upon
her models doing the same, thing
They part their hair In the middle,
take it loosely back from the brow,
and gather it into a rather protruding
coil on the crown of the head. A
tortoise shell pin or two, a silver or
jeweled dagger, or some equally rare
but simple ornament is the only deco
ration allowed with this style of coif
fure. ,
In all styles, however, it is now’ the
right thing to avoid ribbons, jew’eled
bands, tulle and all things which sug
gest the turban. The only people
who will be sorry to see the new fash
ions in this particular detail of the
toilet are the hair dressers, who have
been making fortunes out of false
hair.
To Clean Kid Gloves.
Take a little sweet milk and a piece
of white or brown soap. Fold a clean
towel three or four times, spread it
over your dress and spread out the
glove smoothly upon it. Take a large
piece of white flannel, dip it in the
milk, then rub it upon the soap and
rub the glove downward toward the
fingers, holding the wrist of it by the
left hand. Continue this process until
the glove, if white, looks of a dingy
yellow, but, if colored, looks dark and
entirely spoiled. Now let it dry and
then put it on your hand, and it will
be soft, smooth, glossy and clean.
Take care, however, to omit no part
of the glove in rubbing it and see that'
all the soiled parts are thoroughly
cleaned. Thia process applies only to
white and colored kid gloves. For
black gloves that are soiled, turned
white and otherwise --Injured, take a
teaspoonful of salad oil, drop a few
drops of ink ii^to it, and rub it all over
the gloves with the tip of a feather;
then let them dry in the sun. White
kid boots and slippers can also be
cleaned by the first process to look
“as good as new,” and black kid boots
and slippers can be restored to their
pristine gloss by the latter method.
Witch Hazel Cream.
The witch hazel cream formula given
below is excellent. &ou will find it a
good cream for cleansing. Os course
fat is the basis of all tissue-building
creams.
One ounce each of white wax and
spermaceti, one-quarter pint of oil of

Melt; pour into a mortar, which has
been heated by being immersed some
time in boiling water. Very gradually
add three ounces of rose water and
.one ounce of witch hazen and assidu
ously stir the mixture until an emul
sion Is formed, and afterward until
the mixture is nearly cold.

Red Cross Christmas Seals.
The National Association for the
Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis
will this year for the first time be na
tional agent for the American Red
Cross In handling the sale of Red
Cross seals. A new national office has
been opened in Washington, and an
initial order has been placed for
60,000,000 seals, although it Is expect
ed that double that number will be
sold. The charge to local agents for
the seals will be 12% per cent, of the
gross proceeds, the national agent fur
nishing the seals and advertising ma
terial, and taking back all unsold seals
at the end of the season. Postmaster
General Hitchcock has approved of
the design of the seal. Owing to the
fact that many people last year used
Red Cross seals for postage, the post
office department has given orders
that letters or packages bearing seals
on the face will not be carried
through the malls.
Only a Moose.
"The modern woman Isn’t a bluff,”
asserted Mrs. Gobbolink, looking up
from her newspaper. “This suffrage
movement has more In It than mere
Ideas. The new woman Is brave and

seems that she —”
“Impossible!” interjected Mr. Gob
holing. “There must be some mis

Mrs. Gobbolink searched out the
paragraph and then blushed vividly.
"How stupid of me,” she stammered.
"I did make a mistake. It wasn’t a
mouse she killed —nothing but a
moose.”
The Old Love Possible.
Mrs. Clarence H. Mackay, at a gar
den party at Hampstead, praised the
working girl.
"How much nobler,” she said, "to
work than to marry for money. I
know a pretty girl who gave up a
good position to marry a man of sixty

" ‘I am marrying for love,’ she told
her chum.
“ ‘And the old fellow,’ said the
chum, disgustedly, ’is worth $7,000,-

“‘Yes,’ was the reply. ‘lt’s the
$7,000,000 I’m In love with.’”
