of clothes.
OF course the foundation OF all good
dressing lies in the corset. and the
woman who wishes to be well
dressed takes the precaution of buy
Ing good stays. Fashions In this line
change almost as often as they do In
II outer garments. and to have q
fashionable figure one must have q
newly-fashioned corset.
Just at present La Mode adheres
more firmly than ever to a perfect
~ straight appearance below the
waist. From that point the lines are
carried as straight an the stream Of q
waterfall.

Those who have taken thfs task ue1r

first that difficulties were In the way
of combining comfort with the ex~

But these difficulties seem to have

The list Of accidents in Michigan
is appalling, 25 persons having been

16 were killed and four injured. The

due to the great number of hunters

WILSON TO DELAY
INAUGURAL FETES
Wants Ceremonies Deferred Until
Late in April.
WILL TAKE CATH MARCH a.
Constitution Can Be Amended by Act
OF Congress to Care for Future
Plan Favored at the
Capital.

Hamilton, Bermuda, Dec. Gov
Woodrow Wilson declares he would
agree to be sworn in as president of
the United States on March 4 next,
but the big ceremonies in connection
with the inauguration will be held on
the last Thursday in April
The president-elect has received
more than two hundred letters con
tanning advice regarding legislation.
Pointing to mass of correspondence
Mr.. Wilson said:
THAT is the idea some American
people have of giving man a vaca-
ton
Mr.. Wilson in one day paid seven
dollars excess postage on newspaper
clippings speculative as to probable
cabint appointments.
IF you see that Wilson has ap-
pointed this or that man to come to
Bermuda relative to appointments in
the cabinet" he commented, "you
may be sure the news came by way
of Constantinople or the Windward
Passage"
Plan Liked in Washington.
Washington, Dec 2.-President-elect
Wilson's announcement that he will
take the oath Of Office on March 4 and
postpone the inaugural ceremonies IN
til the last Thursday in April is re-
ceived here with satisfaction
The effect Of the announcement will
be to cause congress to give earnest
consideration to and perhaps to pass
the bill amending the Constitution so
as to fix April as the date of the be-
ginning Of a new administration.
Henry Bill to Be Re-Introduced.
The bill already has been reported
favorably to the house and is on the
calendar. 1t was defeated during the
last session, but Representative Henry
of Texas, it's author, declares he in
tends to do everything in his power to
secure favorable action during the
present session. Backed by the presi-
dent-elect, Mr. Henry believes the
Democrats will unite in advocacy of
the measure.
The situation of this bill is compli
Gated by the fact that there is pend
ing a proposition to amend the Con-
stitution so as to provide for one pres
idential term of six years 1t may
be the two propositions will be COM
bined into one amendment.
Why Later Date rs Desired.
Postponement of the inaugural date
is urged mainly to obtain a reasonable
certainty that pleasant weather will
be assured. Since 1873 there have
been only three fine Inauguration days.
AS a result Of the unreasonable wealth
er, thousands of participants in the
inaugural ceremonies have contract
ed colds and many of them have died
of pneumonia. The following table

day of presidential inaugurations du-
ring the last forty years:

HITS PUBLICITY LAW
ATTORNEY BECK SAYS MEASURE
CHECKS FREEDOM OF PRESS.
Declares Il ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Its Purpose is Merely to Disclose
Ownership Of Papers.

Washington, Dec. 2.-Former As
sistant Attorney General James M.
Beck filed in the Supreme court his
brief in the case brought by the Lewis
Publishing company to test the con-
Btitutionality of the newspaper pub
licity law
The brief discusses fully the power
of the federal government to censor
the press through the regulation of
the mails, and reviews at length the
struggle in England and America to
free the press from restraint, and the
meaning of the first amendment for
bidding any abridgement of the free
dom of the press
Mr.. Beck argues that as the Consti-
tuition gives no express power to
regulate journalism, any attempted
regulation can be justified only as a
necessary and proper means to carry
out some federal function
He denies that the regulation of
newspaper ownership and the en-
forced publicity of it's business can be
an appropriate means to carry out
the federal power over the mails
The brief reviews all of the de-
cisions in which congressional acts
have been invalidated by the Supreme
court for want of constitutional pow
er, and it claims that the present law
is within the doctrine of those de-
Cisions.
The brief further urges that the ap-
preparation Of the newspaper columns
TO enforce the policy of publicity,
without compensation, violates the
fifth amendment in taking property
without due process of law.
Mr.. Beck argues that the law has
the merit Of sincerity in that it makes
ne hypocritical pretense to being q
means to carry out any constitutional
power.
He quotes the debates of congress
as showing that th@ authors of the
bill, Senators Bourne and Reed and
Representatives Henry, Barnhardt,
and others, all admitted the purpose
of the act was to compel a public
disclosure of the ownership of news
papers and of the influence which die
tated their policies.
