Necessity For I
Anti-Trust Law
Revision S e e n
WASHINGTON, April 27.-(o)-
Attorney General Cummings reported
to President Roosevelt today the time
had come for a revision of the anti-'
trust laws to prevent monopolistic
practices.
The report, read by PresidentE
Roosevelt at a press conference, also
said the justice department's investi-
gation of compalints of alleged col-j
lusion in bidding on government steel
contracts had produced insufficient
evidence to warratn action by that
department.
Instead, the report raised the
question of whether the matter
should not be handled at this junc-
ture through cease and desist orders
by the Federal Trade Commission.
The report said identical steel bids,
complained of about a year ago by
Secretary Ickes in connection with
public works .contracts, were produced
in part by the basing point system of
price determination.
It said the whole queqstion of the
adequqacy of the anti-trust laws
arose during the study and added the
time had come for a restatement of
the laws.
It recommended a committee be
appointed to study the desirability of

lands can be seen in the fact that
for 22 years an average wheat farm
in a county of Western Kansas pro-
duced an income of $35 per year. In
the one other year, in a 23 year per-
iod, the income from the same av-
erage farm gave its owner $20,472.

For a few years the farmer enjoyed
a period of humidity in a climate
whose fickleness makes it impossible
to predict the rainfall. Around 1916
the climate reversed itself as it has
always done periodically, Professor
James explained. Many farmers, he
said, were ruined, others managed
to survive by heavily mortgaging
their farms. One lesson of this bit-
ter experience was the introduction
of a dry farming technique.
Dry farming consists in letting
part of the crop lands lie fallow, care-

If a girl has a line the average boy
will recognize it within three min-
utes .and unless it is a good one, the
conversation will end in four minutes,
according to a campus survey con-
ducted by the 'Iulane Hullaballoo.
Different campus Casanovas when
approached on the subject agreed
that there were three major types of
lines. The first, and worst, is the
hero worship type---"Oh you great
big wonderful man." combined with
the clinging vine type-"protect me."
tory female on the trail of some un-
suspecting male is the antithesis of
the above type, "I am a sensation."
The usual approach to this type of
line is "Guess who I was out with
last night?" Type (a) of this grou;
is the gal who tells about her date
with the campus big shot, while type
(b) tells where she went but veils
the name of the unlucky man in mys-
