V-TI THE SUNDAY BEE: OMAHA. JULY 23. 1922. Big Steel iMergcr Legal, Dauglierty Says in Opinion Attorney General Declares Bethlehem and Midvale Combination! Make Only for Efficiency. Washington, July 22 Attorney General Daugherty in an opinion rubmitted to the senate yesterday in response to a resolution adopted May 8, held that tlir H. thlclicin lckawanna and the Midvalc-lnland Steel mergers are not in violation cf the Sherman act, the Clayton act or the Webb art. THE . BENJ F. BAILEY SANATORIUM Lincoln, Neb. This Institution ii the only one In the-central weit with separate fcuildinga situated in their owo grounds, yet entirely distinct, and rendering; it possible to classify cases. The one building being fit ted for and devoted to the treat ment of noncontagious and nonmen tal diseases, no others being admit ted; the other Rest Cottage being designed for and devoted to the exclusivt treatment of select mental case requiring for a time watchful ear and special nursing. The attorney general declined to state, however, as to whether or not the mergers constitute a violation of the federal trade act. The opinion holds that not every contract or combination in restraint of trade is prohibited under the Sher man act. Such act only applies to combinations and contracts in unrea sonable restraint of trade it declared. The motive which prompts the Ueth lehem company to acquire the Lacka wanna, the opinion holds, is solely the desire to secure greater efficiency and economy in production. The opinion holds that nothing in the Midvale-Republis-Inland merger violates the Sherman act and that there is not the slightest ground to believe that restraint of trade or monopolistic control will result. It holds there is but one underlying purpose in the combination, that is, to enable the new company to com pete with the United States Steel cor poration, which, because of the wide distribution of it various plants and their easy accessibility to the sources of raw materials, is enabled to pro duce and sell its products much cheaper than other manufacturers.

Police here claim the discovery of this latest form of flapper amusement. The revelation, they say. was made by Miss Marion Miller. 14, bobbed, lisping "flapperanto," who confessed that she and others of "her set" were "just simply on the verge of distrac tion" from boredom until they dis covered this substitute for the "kicks of life," which long since had failed from the "gin jaunts" and "petting parties" of recent months. The thrill party, Miss Miller ex plains from her cell in the county jail, is quite common. Marion Was Wooed. The bobbed-haired miss is under charge of being the inspiration for a career of crime engaged in by five youths who sought to win her heeart if not her hand by their banditry. "All five wanted to slip me a hand cuff," Miss Miller told Lieut. R. E. L. James, in charge of juvenile crime here. "But to understand the confession of the 'bandit queen' one needs a new dictionary," Lieut. James says. "I have discovered the meaning of part of the new language used by the flapper," the lieutenant says, reveal ing his discovery. "Their terms translated are: "Handcuff an engagement ring. "Dimbox a taxicab. "Static conversation that means nothing. "Oilcan an imooster. "Boob tickler the girl v. ho enter tains her fathers customers. "Ritz stuck up. "Alarm clock a chaperon. "Flat tire the youth who takes his girl for a jitney rule. "Kire alarm a divorced woman. "Strikebreaker the young woman who goes with her friend's 'steady' while the best friend has a mad on. "Forty-Niner" Defined. "Forty-niner a young man pros pecting for a rich wife. "Apple sauce flattery. "Dropping the pilot getting a di vorce. "Hush money father's allowance. "Com shredder a poor dancer. "And the entire language is filled with just such as that," Lieut. James says. But, to return to Miss Miller's de scription of the thrill parties. "A girl can't be a flat tire, particu larly when five men want to slip her a handcuff. If we sit around with our alarm clock always near there's nothing left in life. "Jazz is the oil can now. So are petting parties. A girl gets the same thrill out of playing boob tickler to the borish pastimes society has in vented for us. "All we get at the clubs and gin j-iunti any more is a lt of static "And sa we luve invented the thrill party it's wonderful. "VV'e da all sorts of things. "Once 1 posed as a tire alarm a divorced woman, you know, and went out with a married man. It vas just too thrilling, but I can't tell more. "The thing ! got arrested (or was just too sweet. After "Real Kick." "The five boys who wanted to play sweet daddy to my loving mamma role rented a uunbox and we set out to get a teal kick. "1 wis short of hush money, any- way, and was so tired listening to the apple sauce the corn shredders ot my set handed out that I sue Rested staging a little htld-ui just lor a thrill. "My boy friends held up three gasoline tilling stations just to give me a kick it was wonderluj. Miss Miller told Jieutenant James "all the girls were doing it now." "One jut can't be bored forever," she explained. l'olice lay much of the juvenile crime to the "thrill party." Judge E. F.. Porterricld, presiding over juvenile court here, estimates the delinquency increase among Kansas City girls at 30 per cent in the last year. "I am shocked and afraid," the judge said. "Little girls have always gone down in history and rhyme as 'sugar and spice and everything nice,' while the boys were 'rats and snails and puppy dog's tails.' "But now girls are made of naughtiness and cosmetics," Judge Porterfield said from the bench here. The judge blamed short skirts, gay mothers and unthinking fathers. "Mothers of today do not know the Kves their daughters lead if they did half of them would be in' their graves, the court said.
