President Wilson ToM "Big Rye" Are BuHding Great Foo%# Combine, 4 PUN TO CORNER ILL TRADE Charged With Attempt to Control All 8uh«titutes for Meat~~lntere*tetf ^ ^ In Banks, Factories, and • Other Institution*, Wafhlngton. Jnly 14.--Aif approach ing packer domination of all Important foods in the United States and an international control of meat products with foretgn companies seems a certainty unless fundamental action Is taken to prevent it, the federal trade commission declared In part one of its report to President Wilson on the "extent and growth of power of the five packers in meat and other industries." "A fair consideration of the course the five packers have followed and the position they have already reached," said the report, "must lead to the conclusion that they threaten the freedom of the market of the country's food Industries and of-the by-products of the industries linked therewith. The meat packer control of other foods will not require long In developing." Declaring "the history of the packers' growth Is interwoven with illegal commissions, rebates and wltft undisclosed control of corporations," the report urged the Importance of full publicity of corporate ownership for all Industries. v Alleging that the "big five" packers-- Swift k Co., Armour & Co., Wilson & Co., Morris & Co. ari3 the Cudahy company--jointly or separately wield controlling Interest in 574 companies, miuority interest In 95 others, and undetermined Interest In 98--a total of 762 companies--and that they produce or deal In some 775 commodities, largely food products, the report gives this picture of growing packer Invasion into related and unrelated industries. "In addition to meat foods they produce or deal in such divers commodities as fresh tomatoes and banjo strings, leather and cottonseed oil, etc. "They have interests large enough to be a dominating influence in most of the services connected with the production and distribution of animal foods and their by-products, and are reaching out for control not only of substitutes for animal foods but of substitutes for other lines Into which the Integration of the business has led them. They are factors In cattle loan companies, making the necessary loans to growers and feeders of live stock; are Interested In railways and private car lines transporting live stock and manufactured animal products; In most of the Important stockyards companies-- the public market for the bulk of food animals, and in live stock trade papers on which growers and feeders rely for market news. 'They are Interested lit banks from which their competitors' packing houses borrow money; In companies supplying machinery, Ice, salt, materials, boxes, etc., to themselves and their competitors; they are principal dealers on the provision exchanges, where futurt#prices In standard cured animal products are determined. Their vast distributing system, with the advantages arising from the control of private cars, cold storage and a network of branch houses has enabled them to extend their activities on a large scale into poultry, eggs, cheese, butter, rice, breakfast foods, canned vegetables, soda fountain supplies and other lines. Some of Swift & Co.'s subsidiaries are growing tropical fruits In Hawaii; subsidiary of Wilson A Co., Inc., has reached into the salmon fisheries of Alaska, and a Morris concern cans shrimp taken In the waters of the Gulf of Mexico. "The big five, the report said, have control of interest in public utility corporations in Sioux City, Kansas City, South St. Paul, Portland, Ore., San Francisco, South St. Joseph, Mo., Hill City, Minn., Fort Worth, Tex., and Chicago. As to financial power, the report said in part: "The packer hat drawn to a marked degree upon the* banks of the country for liquid funds. To assure himself loans ample to his purpose, the big packer has secured affiliation through stock ownership, representation on directorate and other ways, with nunumerous banks and trust companies. Mr. Armour, Mr. Swift, Mr. Morris and Mr. Wilson are directors in banks affiliated closely with those who are strong at the source of credit in the United States. Being thus allied with the powerful interests at the sources of credit, the packers' power Is great." JOSEPH T. ALL DRESS FOR Senator Joseph T. Robinson holds the unique distinction of having been a congressman, senator and governor all In a period of two weeks. YANKS STAY ON RHINE WILL REMAIN UNTIL GERMANS ' DELIVER WAR SUPPLIK*. President Wilson Extremely Qratified That Peace Treaty Was Ratified So Promptly. Washington, July 12.--President Wilson. conferring with -newspaper corresiKHidents at the White House. Indicated that he was extremely gratified that the treaty of peace bad been ratified so promptly , by the German national assembly. It was made clear that the president felt troops should be maintained in Germany until the Germans had compiled with all the military terms of the treaty. It was pointed out that there were several million veteran soldiers in Germany and munitions sufficient for them to operate. The Germans have from one to four months In which to deliver all material except that sufficient for the reduced German army provided for In the peace treaty, and the president believes American troops should stay on the Rhine until the material Is delivered. Discussing the peace negotiations at Paris, President Wilson let It be known that the League of Nations covenant will be In every treaty negotiated at Versailles, Including that with Bulgaria, with which country the United States never was at war. The president made it clear that demobilization of , the American army would depend upon the speed with which ihe military conditions of th<> peace treaty were executed by Gei many and the treaty was ratified b.v the various governments. Mr. Wilson feels that the United States must play a generous part In the reconstruction of Europe, but he believes this should be accomplished by establishing some sound basis of credit rather than by direct government aid. j -' J • '.UK V ' •The tartaric gfttter of tinse* ap-* pears in many of this summer's evening gowns.

A frock of unusual charm, and one that might easily be made at home, Is of white chiffon flowered with pink roaes. This Is made like a front and back apron falling full length over an overskirt of plain white chiffon. These panels are bound with rose ribbons of a tone to blend with the flowers In the fabric and are tied together at intervals down the skirt by bows of the ribbon. Around the very low-cut neckline falls a bit of fine white lace shadowing a rose ribbon which ties under the lace at the front in a bow. The same treatment is carried out on the very short sleeves. The lace makes turnback cuffs under which goes the ribbon. The idea is very simple but clever. It is just the sort of little dress that, seen or described, makes you feel that you want to set to work and make one, because In every feminine heart Is the creative clothes instinct, which, if fostered to any degree, is bound to find expression.

Now that lace is experiencing a vogue once more, the non-professional maker of lace must know something about giving finish to her work after it leaves the needle or the loom. To Impart that almost Imperceptible degree of stiffness, the lace must be Ironed In a very special way. After removing the lace from Its foundation, notes a correspondent, place "it face downward on some fine white flannel. Now dip a piece of brand-new organdie, the unusually stiff sort that'Is very obviously "dressed." into a little water. When It has soaked for a few minutes, remove the bit of material from the water, wring out any superfluous drops, and dab all over the wrong side. Finally, spread the dampened organdie out flat, and move a hot iron over it, being quite sure that the movement 1s slow so that the moisturn Imparted to the lace may evaporate gradually. Do not remove, the lace from the board until quite dry. ' Knitted and crochet work that Is better for a suggestion of stiffening can be treated the same way successfully. Embroidered net, too, is callable of being stiffened In the same manner. Here, though, the dampening produces better results when done while the work Is still in the hoops. Nor should it be removed until thoroughly dry. Have yon ever stopped to reason why; it is that ao many products that are ex-l tensively advertised, all at once drop onti of light and are soon forgotten?
