6 Trusts Controling British Industries, Investigators Find London, June 20.—Business rings, combines and trusts, perfected dur ing the war, are controlling Great Britain's industries, according to the iindings of a government commit tee appointed by Sir Auckland Geddes, minister of reconstruction. The report, which is to be made public soon, was submitted to Sir Auckland and is under considera tion by the government. The com mittee does not suggest what the government's attitude towards trusts should be, the only proposal made in the report for dealing with the situation being that the board of trade should set up a tribunal to investigate cases of abuse caused by combines, and report to the presi dent of that body. How to deal with huge trade combinations is one of the big problems of the near future, it is said in government circles. Almost every big industry in the country, except shipbuilding, is said to be controlled by a combine or ring.

Simi larly. may foreign avlatora fly aa they please over this country, and, vice versa, do British aviators enjoy a sim ilar liberty and priyllege? Freedom of the air, says Tit Bits, is a question as vitally important as freedom of the Beas. A nation's rights over the sea are supposed to extend three miles into the ocean from its coasts, and ownership of land to whatever is beneath it for half the distance through the earth. Now the peace conference says that each nation owns the air above its own territory, but that it can only own it on condition that it allows free passage through it for all other coun tries. "That means to say," said Mr. Handley Page, "that aerial alliances will have to be entered into with all foreign countries, and until they are ratified we have no more right' to fly over other kingdoms than we have to free use of their railways and ports." It is an interesting fact that up to the outbreak of the war our govern ment always maintained that every state should claim full and absolute sovereignty in the air above its ter ritory. ' This principle was recognised by virtually every country except Germany.

SACRED HARMONY "There may be union sacree, or sa cred harmony, in the Reichstag, said Senator Vardaman. "but when a mi nority Socialist talks to a Pangerman. or when a Catholic Centrist talks to a Conservative the dialogue reminds me of Mrs. Spink. "Mrs. Spink was ushered into a friend's house for an afternoon call by Jane. and. as she stood in the hall, a voice called softly down from some where above: " 'Jane, if that's Mrs. Spink I'm not at home." •"It is Mrs. Spink,' the caller shouted, 'and she's mighty glad to i hear it."'—Detroit Free Press.

O'Connor Company, wholesale grocers of Indianapolis, decided to move without their driver. The horses, drawing a dray, started slow ly. They were just behind the white line at Meridan and Maryland streets when the traffic man turned the semaphore. The "stop" sign faced the horses and they stopped. Irr a few minutes the traffic man turned the semaphore and the "go" sign faced the horses. They went. As the team stopped at the "stop" sign and started at the "go" sign the traffic man failed to notice they were driverless. The horses slowly walk ed to the next corner and again the "stop" sign was up. The horses stopped. And this is the way the driver caught them when he did. — Indianapolis News.

MOTHERS' BILL MAY BE CHANGED Effort Under Way to Increase the Appropriation Carried The friends of the mothers' pen sion fund are making an effort to have the appropriation increased from $500,000 to $750,000. Those prominent in the movement include Senator William E. Crow and Rep resentative John W. Vlekerman. They are familiar with the splendid work this organization is doing throughout the State and ure ap preciative of the fact that the in fluenza epidemic of last fall has greatly increased its Held. If the revenues will permit, it is the con sensus of opinion that the largest appropriation possible should bo given to the work. The request was for $1,000,000, but the appropria tions committee reduced this to $500,000. The 1917 Legislature appropriated $4 45,000. This, with the reuppro priation of the funds sot aside for unorganized counties made It pos sible for the organized counties to increase their original appropria tiens by fifty per cent. In May, AAA V 2 - 550 families, including 9,- 000 children, had been assisted.

Van Pcventer In his story of precious gauges which appears in Everybody's. Virtually all of our munitions had to be made to limit gauges which had to be corrected by means of precision blocks to within a few millions of an inch. "Twenty years ago," writes Mr. Van Deventer. "a Swedish tool maker named Johansson made up his mind that the mtllonth of an inch was the coming thing—hunted during nine for a practical way to get it. and got it. How? Nobody knows ex cept Johansson, and he won't tell. For over nine years he kept everybody guessing. Our best shops imported his blocks and used them for checking their gauges. "Then came the war with its won derful stimulation of American gen ius. With it came also the need of being independent of the old world in the mutter of gauges. "The war took E. C. Perry away from his Job of running a great fac tory in Cleve ladntrshrdlu hrdluu tory in Cleveland and brought him to Washington to take charge of the lim its of gauging of ordnance products. It brought William E. Hoke, of St. Ixiuis, to the Bureau of Standards, with an idea of how to produce pre cision-blocks, Colonel Peck and Major Hoke got tqgethcr and in six months were turning out precision blocks ac curate to the millionth part of an inch." MEN'S HEADS RIGGER f ROSH! SAY SCIENTISTS "Pish—Tush!!" said .psychologists and anatamtsls of the University of Pennsylvania, commenting on the statements of hat manufacturers to Minister Thankful "I had stomach trouble for nearly 20 years, also constipation which filled my system with gas and fever I could not do my work, and while I was down sick a lady from out of town sent me a bottle of Mayr's Wonderful Remedy which proved truly wonderful. I believe it is the best medicine on earth." It is a simple, harmless preparation that removes the catarrhal mucous from the intestinal tract and allays the inflammation which causes practic ally all somach, liver and intestinal ailments, including appendicitis.

"The theory could not possibly be sustained by facts, unless," he added, with a twinkle In his eye, "unless It is a re flection from Germany. They seem to be suffering from swelled heads just now." "The fact Is lnteresing, If true, said Dr. Llghtner Wltmer, head of the department of psychology of the Uni versity. "I can't think of a reason in the worljl for the fact, If fact it Is. I'm very much Inclined to doubt the truth of the statement,' he added. Oher professors of the Institution were Inclined to take the matter lightly.
