Declaring prices of farm implements to have been Increased without v arrant through "concerted uc\lon" of manufacturers an<J dealers, the federal trade commission has recommended reopening of antl-truHt proceedings against the International ^ Harvester company and the lnstltu? . tlon of Judicial proceedings against Implement manufacturers and dealers.

A monograph In the London Fi nanclal Times on the history of the old Citizens' Hank .of Louisiana, at New Orleans, reveals the orlidn of the name "Dixie Land"?th" term applied now to all the Southern S'.ates and preserved in the famous Southern war souk. "I>txie."y Prior to the W-r Let ween the States, the Ctlzens* hank, hnvlnu.ihe power'to If sue paper notes, issued several millions of hills In denominations l>f $10 and $20.- hut mostly $10.

Searchers after burled silver on the mainland opposite Pete island, 18 miles southeast of Corpus Christi, Texas, probably are doomed to disap poinimem. in me opinion or n uaivcston writer on historical and scientific subjects. The rush of treasure seekers began with the discovery recently of 25 skeletons, popularly believed by many to he those of members of the crew of n Spanish treasure ship which foundered off the Texas coast early in the 18th century. It is pointed out that the "life" of a skeleton buried In the sands of the benches of the coastal country is not more than to years, whereas the treasure ships from Mexico to Spain were discontinued after 1820, partly because of the activity of Jean Laflltte's fleet of buccaneers ' ... One Favored (law in Russia. There Is only one favored class in itussia today. This class is cQint posed entirely of theatrical women, and they are*the theatrical stars and beauties. The Russians have always been passionate .lovers of the theatre and, even under the present regime, they treat their stage favorites as so many queens. The actresses are the only women in Russia who are permitted to wear shoes in warm weather. Even, the wives of soviet dignitaries, such as Trotzky and Eenine, have been obliged to bow to popular sentiment. They 'may bo seen any day in Moseow tripping the streets bnrcfootcd. .
