The supreme court has held that the 1915 law against trading stamps is unconstitutional and reversed the I)ee,,.t,,r circuit Court for convicting the Sperrv A: Hutehuicon Company of th orfens-e of selling trading stamps to a retail dealer without first, obtaining the license required by th- act. The court said that the company contends that the law viola Us the provisions of the fourteenth amendment to the United States Constitution, both in being an unjust discrimination against the trading stamp business and because the. law maJitf-s an unjust dsicrimination between persons who supply trading stamps for use in the sale of their own wares arid thr-se who eigrsre In the ita-"iiT sta'-ir- huirr c t; 1 v to pi n-, ide trading slurries to others to be redeemed) l;v tb- one iupplv.'ng them.

PICTURE HAS EETESSE. This trlefby. ,-s a sketch of the Berlin that "lives" the thousands of well-to. do men and women whose existence revolves about a fixed pivot of pleasure. But the picture has a reverse. On the north side of Berlin live the millions of toilers but unemployed who are wasting away from want and star

their cheek? not so rosy, their garments

mr laituioss as those of the carefree f reuuenters of the central city resorts. Out on the north side n.nno famished men and women in tattered clothes grt yawning shoes, may be seen standing In line at any hi.r?cmoit market, those farthest from the door hoping ngainst hope, that there will be a few ounces

Th-n an employe will emerge from the d0(r announcing that the last pound of horseflesh has been sold and 2.000 hungry disappointed Uerilners will return to th-ir cabbage and potatoes In bare, unheated flats.

They realise they are the victims of ther former master's folly. Their feeling Is one of relief that the cataclysm at last has come to an end. And that precisely is the prevailing sentiment in Germany today, relief rather than resentence. It is this same feeling of relief that largely ln.

Had lie made the discovery a minute later the "Kernel" might have had to fight another of his famous duels, thct he tells of in recalling reckless days in Paris. As it is he f.ed from a Chicago restaurant where he overheard the woman of his heart and the man quarreling so domestically that there was no possibility of mistaking their relations.
