NOT DECIDED BY COURT
Question Raised Regarding Ap-
pareI Necessary to Complete
the Feminine Wardrobe.

The question of the number Of suits,
waists pairs of gloves and quantity Of
lingerie and silk hosiery which may be
called necessary for the wardrobe of a
young married woman. who is still an
infant in the eyes of the law, remains
undetermined. Mrs. Mary Graham
Hume Collins Allen, who reached her
majority last August raised the ques-
ton when she asked the District Su-
preme Court to quash an attachment
laid by the Louvre against her funds
in the hands of the Union Trust Com
pany, her guardian. before August.
Other legal objections to allowing the
attachment to stand appealed forcibly to
Justice Wright at the hearing of the mo-
ton to quash, and he granted the re-
quest Of Mrs. Allen, without passing on
the plea that the quantity of goods,
which she claimed she had been impor-
tuned to purchase, exceeded the bounds
of necessities" as known to the law and
for which she, minor. could be held
accountable.
Basis of Suit.
The Louvre filed suit against Mrs Allen
to recover $569.44 alleged to be due for
finery purchased by her. Mrs. Allen re-
pudiated the debt and claimed the things
purchased were luxuries and not neces-
sary.
The action of Justice Wright it is
stated, will have the effect of releasing
a fund of $50. which the trust company
was holding out of the estate of Mrs.
Allen and that she will now come into
possession of this amount. Mrs. Allen on
attaining majority transferred all her
property to Attorney John Doyle Car
mody, for the purpose Of protecting her
self. she claimed. from improper debts
Attorney L. ]. Mather appeared for
Mrs. Allen. Attorneys r. NJ Thomas
and Alvin L. Newmyer represented the
merchant.

which he said that no favoritism be
shown to the "Stalwarts in Wisconsin,
Former Exchange of Compliments.

In his speeches and writings. he said,
he had praised Senator La Follette's
work and he added until he became a
candidate last year the senator had
never spoken of him publicly except in
terms of approval. He quoted Senator
La Toilette as saying in a speech in
April, 1907. that Col Roosevelt should
have another term. From the senator's
speech in the Senate in July of last
year the colonel read several extracts
in which Mr.. La Toilette commended
him highly.
II am still the same man 1 was in
1907 and 1911. i have not changed. If
I deserved the praise that the senator
gave me, praise that 1 very deeply ap-
preciated and for which l was very
sincerely grateful. l deserve 1t no less
now" said Col. Roosevelt.
Defends His Tariff Record.
Col. Roosevelt defended his record on
the tariff question and attacked that of
Gov Wilson. Gov. Wilson, he said, had
been the hope of the progressives, but had
changed his attitude, and lat present his
sole chance lies in the support of the re-
actionaries.'
Col. Roosevelt. answering the question
of some of his opponents as to why he
did not take up the tariff question when
he was President, said:
when l became President business had
just passed through two terrible earth
quakes. there having been two complete
and sweeping changes of the tariff in the
preceding eight years. 1t would have been
mere folly Immediately to have prepared
for another change. The time for such
another change did not ripen until the
very end of my administration.
THE immediate and pressing demand
for important legislation was for legisla-
ton of a wholly different kind. During
the time that 1 was President there was
no complaint at all that I was not doing
enough. The complaint of all my enemies
was that l was doing too much.
Attacks Wilson's Tariff Views.
Mr.. Wilson. on the tariff, as on almost
every other issue, either takes no def
| mite position or takes so many conflicting
positions that 1t is difficult to know what
he means to do. Probably Mr.. Wilson
has no clear idea of what he does intend
to do.
I'm an interview in Munsey's Magazine
for October. 1911, he complains bitterly of
the methods of tariff making. saying that
clauses have been inserted in our tariff
laws as a matter of private arrangement
between the representatives of certain
great business interests and the members
or the ways and means committee of the
House and the finance committee of the
Senate. This is entirely true, and it is to
meet this very objection that the progress
s1veS have advocated a scientific, non
partisan business commission which
| should secure all information about the
tariff and give the framework for tariff
legislation to Congress. Yet Mr.. Wilson
comes out against such commission

Regrets La Follette's Opposition.

OSHKOSH, Wis, October 12-Here in
Senator La Follette's own state Col.
Roosevelt last night discussed for the
first time in his campaign the senator's
opposition to him. He replied to Senator
La Follette's attacks by taking up a
number of points on which the senator
has based his criticism.
He spoke in a warehouse, as available
halls were small. Col. Roosevelt said
1T has been a matter Of regret to me
that Senator La Toilette. who has done
so much for the progressive cause, has
felt that because of his antagonism to
me he must range himself against the
progressive movement in this campaign
thereby giving his old-time enemies the
reactionaries, a much-needed support
which they have acknowledged by the
hrst praise they have given him in TWEEN
ty years. II has been asserted that did
not take sides with the La Toilette peo-

HIGH SCHOOLS
EDUCATING MORE
Than A million

More than q million and a quarter
boys and girls will attend the Ameri-
can high schools, public and private,
during the school year 1928. &C
4 cOrding TO the estimate OF DR.. p. +.
ClaxtOn, United States Commissioner
OF education. DR.. Claxton has been as
sured b! AIR. Alexander Summers,
statistician Of the bureau. who has
1 made a special study OF the matter,
j that the estimate is a conservative
one. or the number given 100000 are
estimated for the public schools, and
100000 for the private secondary
schools
The American high school has
grown phenominally in the past dozen
years, its development in the last TWO
or three years being apparently
greater than in the remarkable de-
cade just preceding. Since the TWEEN
tietn century opened the number OF
public high schools has almost dou-
bled and the number of students is
easily twice what it w2s at the be-
ginning of the century. The most
cheering feature of the whole mat
ter for the American citizen is the
! grades into the high school. Former
ly only a very fey years ago, in
fact, the high school was chiefly at
tended by children of the rich and
moderately well-to-do. Today nearlj
one-fourth of the children who enter
the elementary school eventually
pass into the high school. The exact
figure is Is per cent, if negroe chill
dren are included, and % per cent if
whites only are considered. This is
particularly significant, since certain
critics of the public high school have,
| through a misunderstanding of the
official reports, contended that a
much smaller percentage than is here
given had the opportunity of hign
school training. The fact remains that
from % to 25 Of every hundred chill
dren who enter the schools at all go
on into the high school.
Almost equally significant for pub
lie education is the fact that by far
the most rapid growth has been in
the public high schools. The private
secondary schools show a healthy in.
crease-haVe actually doubled their
attendance in the same period.
