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.

stranger haa to trampol over It? 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.

Senator Vardaman. "but when a mi

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.

THEY USED HORSE SENSE
A team of horses, owned by the
M. 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. —

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,

MILLIONTH PART OF INCH
One of America's little-known war
romances is revealed by John H. 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."
