The new rate law ha been the subject under discussion and what to do about its requirements has been the vexed problem. It seems to have been decided that some test suits will be forced to make the courts say whether or not the law is constitutional. Three important provisions1 of the rate law will be attacked: The section that makes the Initial carrier responsible to shippers; the section that authorizes the interstate commerce commission to det ermine what is a just and reasonable charge for services rendered by the own er of property transported; the court clause. Then there are other including the vital one confereing rate- fixing powers upon the commission that will be forced to the judicial test. One suggestion has been .that the Pennsyl vania railroad take the lead in throwing down the gauntlet. Many stories have been toldabout the long telegraphic messages sent by women as if the feminine mind were incapable of expressing itself concisely. How false and slanderous such an impression is well known by the following incident is; A gentlemen went to London on business. As he left he said someching about buying her a new dress. Just before starting. homeward he wired to his wife: "Which shall I bring you a diamond ring or .a silk dress.?" The reply was concise and explicit -"Both." Ammunition of all kinds W. H.
