CONTEMPT Feb. 27, 1920, the Supreme Court of the OF | g District of Columbia, in a proceeding under COURT? \_y the Sherman anti-trust law, perpetually enjoined certain corporations and individuals, among them Armour & Cos. and Morris & Cos., “from jointly or severally * * * combining * * * with each other * • # to monopolize ANY PART of such (meat packers’) trade or commerce.’’ That court decree is perpetual, ft has not been modified. Now Morris & Cos. and Armour & Cos. have “ merged. ” These two concerns are combined. Armour & Cos. monopolizes all of Morris & Co.’s trade and commerce. Isn’t that a violation of the court decree? Isn’t it a contempt of court? It is the duty of the Department of Justice to enforce decrees obtained by it and to seek punishment for contempt. It is the duty of the Federal Trade Commission to examine and report how any final decree under the anti trust laws is being carried out and to report its findings to the Attorney General and to the public in its discretion. The Attorney General has been quite vocal about the enforcement of court orders. The Federal Trade Commission has quite a record for vigilance in the public service. Well? WHERE’S X T AVE you ever met your double? Somewhere, YOUR | —I walking the earth at this very moment, is a DOUBLE? XJL person who is such an exact duplicate of * yon that, brought together, few could tell t apart. Occasionally your attention is called to the law of duplicates, when newspapers discover and print pictures of the doubles of famous politicians, movie stars and so on. The real you—that mysterious and indefinable inner something that includes thought and character and emotion is never duplicated exactly, though occasionally each of us meets a person whose viewpoint is so strikingly similar to ours that it bewilders as. An extraordinary ease of mistaken identity was exposed the other day in England. Arthur Collins, arrested by Scotland Yard detectives on the charge of being an army deserter, was found to he the double of the man wanted. He even had the same name, lived on the same street, followed the same trade in civilian life, and joined the army on the same day. Their fingerprints differ. The “long arm of coincidence,” in this case, operated to an extent never equaled in fiction, even “The Prisoner of Zenda.” We not only have living duplicates but we are duplicates of people who lived in the past. Old settlers have often observed this—how a boy- or girl is cestor of a few generations siuee. Photography is a comparatively recent invention, so few of us can check back and find our double of long ago. In families where oil paintings have been preserved for several generations, the recurrence of “looks” is almost universally recognized. It would be great sport to turn the clock back a few centuries and come face to face with the man or woman whose features, build and mannerisms have cropped out in us. This recurrence of doubles, generation after generation, probably is what started the oriental belief in reincarnation. HARDING A XD now President Harding lias asked the BEATS /\ tariff commission to study the effort of the DISHPAN XX. tariff on sugar prices and report to him. And the average Republican politician says the tariff didn’t cause the high sugar prices and the average Democrat says it did. Remember how old Farmer Hicks used to hive bees that were swarming by beating a dishpan with a stick. TTis idea was 10 attract the bees by the noise, make them forget where they were going and swarm, and then he’d hive ’em while they were befuddled. This sudden beating of the political dishpan over the relation of the tariff schedule to exorbitant prices sort of indicates to us that politicians would like to have us busy consumer bees forget about the sugar gougers while they befuddle us with all this tariff talk.

NOVELIST TELLS WHY MIDDLE-AGED MEN ARE PREY TO GLAMOUR OF LOVE PIRATES'

By EDWARD THIERRY %/r OIN TAIN LAKES, N. J., April 3.—“ Love IVJ. pirates find their easiest victims now in wealthy middle-aged men because most modern recreations have the sex glamor, and luxury and indulgence have jaded human appetites." This is the analysis made by Arthur Stringer, famous novelist, of the romantic crime which cost the life of Dorothy King, Broadway model, and involved J. Kearsley Mitchell, rich son-in-law of E. T. Stotesbury. Morgan partner, as the middleaged quarry of blackmailers. Stringer's novel, “The Wine of Life,” is a study of studio life And the stage that depicts this sex stimulation. And his famous trilogy—“ The Prairie Wife,” “The Prairie Mother” and “Tlje Prairie Child” —parallel vividly the “dangerous age for husbands” blamed also for the killing of William I>* mond Taylor, movie director, and the double murder in the Hall-Mills case. “New York is an over-sexed city,” said Stringer, “arid this latest affair proves it to he the most dangerous place for middle-aged and elderly men in whom sex hunger has developed rapidly. It raises the serious question whether man Is not Innately polygamous. “Secret intrigues are growing. This crime shows how thin the veneer of civilization is—that marriage as an Institution is only 6,000 years old.

“Like the Volstead act, you cannot enforce social purity. Man has the craving for stimulation. Sex instinct Is more explosive in some than in others. “Rich men are easy victims, for their environment is such as to confront them with over-stimulation. Recreations have become sex stimuli—dancing, cabarets, literature, musical comedies, and movies. “Voluptuous themes exist in the movies, oven though censored. And in reading there has been the revival of the brutally frank errotic novel, by authors such as Lawrence, Anderson, Dreiser and Cabell.” Stringer points to the changing styles in women “love pirates”—those now known In Broadway Idiom as “heavy sugar babies,” as brought out in the Dorothy King murder Investigation. They used to be known as “actresses,” but are now usually called “models.” His chief character In “The Wine of Life” is a model, and described as “a dark flower of passion." “Illicit affairs,” said the novelist, “arise out of a jaded appetite. Sex hunger is so persistent it doesn’t need stiin- ' illation, but mercenary men encouraging love piracy have found it profitable. “The pathetic appeal of youth to age is purely a physical appeal. The older the man, wife and children notwithstanding, the stronger the appeal. The modern 'model' Is luxury loving and costly and only the older men can afford to Indulge in such heavy sugar.’ ” Women, too, have a dangerous age. Stringer thinks. It Is the time when children have grown up and there is a temptation to romantic adventure to cure boredom. But the woman of middle age has greater sex balance, he believes.

Life in Hollywood Reflected in Movie The widely heralded photoplay “Night Life of Hollywood” is the special feature of the program at the Rialto this week. The picture has beep extravagantly mounted with cabaret scenes, costume balls and bathing scenes. The home life and studio are also depicted and many intimate scenes of prominent movie stars are shown. “Make Believe Kitty” a musical comedy, is another feature of the program. The theme of this offering concerns the efforts of rich father to keep his daughter from marrying a poor man. The girl has her own way and the father is convinced that she was right when he learns that the young man is heir to slu,oou. The offering has the usual chorus work. The vaudeville portion includes a rr..’le trio who sing “My Gal Sal” and ,hn Brown's Body.” It seems e*pi dally approj rinte with the movie fer me. (By the Observer).
