In June, 1919, Attorney General Brown, in an opinion renuerea tne nignway commission, aavisea as iouows; "In our opinion, the safest and most satisfactory way to determine this question is by action in court which should be prosecuted to the tribunaal of last resort, so that a final and com plete determination of the issues may be had, and in this connec tion, it occurs to us that it would be advisable, in the construction of pavements for the state highway commission to employ specifi cations which will give the practical benefits of the Warren pavement and yet differ to such an extent, that it could be con tended that the Warren pavement was not infringed, which defense could be combined with the defense of the invalidity of the patent." However, the state highway commission ignored the advice of its legal adviser, and will now have the alternative Qf a costly legal battle to contest the validity of the patent or an equally ex pensive compromise with the Warrens, who will thereby gain ad ditional prestige to force payment of royalties from counties and communities all of which could have been avoided without affect ing the quality of pavement. for days and days.

A long continued cold means constant inflammation and this constant inflammation frequently weakens the air passages so that they become an easy point of attack for invading germs of more serious diseases. A "cold that hangs on," therefore, is simply nature's "red flag" indicating that there is "trouble below," and this warning should never be neglected.

(Tomorrow Settling Mother's Affairs) A NEW PROFITEERING EXCUSE. We have become used to the excuse of increased wages and increased cost of materials as a source of profiteering, but we are now forced to pay exhorbitant prices a "lessons to consumers" to cut consumption. , i The oil trust recently tacked on a couple of cents to the cost of gasoline and other petroleum products and announces further increases, in the immediate future in order to force a reduction in consumption and prevent exhaustion of oil supplies and this de spite enormous profits piled up under the old schedule of prices and huge stock dividends to escape payment of excess profits taxes.
