Isn't it remarkable how some people keep things?
 This dosnt in any way refer to secrets mind you.
 one is supposed to be a born secret col lector and hoarder. I've seen women who plumed themselves on being the receptacle of more confidence than they had money or friends.
 A woman told me recently that more men and women had confided their mari tai unhappiness to her than there were names on the roll of her church.
 Don't you think it's dreadful thing to collect secrets-secrets dealing with the unhappiness of others?
 I'd rather that the person wouldn't tell me, unless there is some immediate thing that I can do to remedy the situation hadn't you?
 But
 This is a Aggression.
 What I really meant by keeping things" is something different.
 I know a woman who keeps her fruit cake from one Christmas to the next.
 She's as proud of it as the other woman is when she adds another portentious secret to the list of unhappy stories she has stored away in her mind

INTERPRETATION OF
 TRUST LAW WANTED
Seth Low Suggests Appoint ment of a Commission
 to Do It

Washington March IA commis- sion to interpret the sherman anti trust law. similar to the interstate commerce commission, was proposed In a resolution outlined today before the National Civic Federation by its pres ident, Seth Low, at the closing ses- sion of the annual convention.
 A bill which will be drafted and presented to Congress would give to the proposed commission power to in duire into a combination or proposed combinations and pass upon it's legality, but granting the right of appeal to the courts as under the interstate com merce act.
 Reforms in legal procedure were ad- vocated by Evertt P. Wheeler, chair man of the American Bar association; Ralph w. Breckenridge, chairman of the federation committee on legal re- form. and owen Miller of Missouri, a representative of organized labor.
 'Nine-tenths of the law cases of to- day are decided by technical dust thrown into the eyes of the court" de- clared MT. Miller. He told of cases which had been decided on trivial tech nical points, including the escape from penitentiary of a convicted man on ac- count of the misspelling of his name in an indictment.
 Talcott Williams, secretary of the department for the regulation of cor porations. defended the Sherman anti trust law as just and workable. Sup plemental legislation was necessary, he said, to make the law cover each par ticular case brought under it.
 The womans department was ad- dressed by Mrs. John Hays Hammond. Mrs. Robert S. Chew, Mrs Medill Me- Cormick, Mrs. Francis McNeil Bacon, Jr., Mrs. Robert Wainwright and Miss Wetmore, daughter of Senator Wet more of Rhode Island. The department held a reception in the afternoon at which Mrs. Borden Hartman and Mrs. Linden Bates of New ' ork and Mrs. Caroline B. Crane of Kalamazoo, Mich, spoke.

SPLENDID SCHOLARSHIP
 FOR ALABAMA GIRLS

Under the leadership of Mrs. C. M. Ba- shlnsky of Troy the education commit ee of the Alabama Federation of Women g clubs is taking a most oppressive stasd and doing most effective work along edu- cational lines of special importance to our state. A letter recently sent by this committee to all federated clubs in the state is receiving much favorable com ment from the local organization. At this period when the graduates of our city schools are beginning to make their plans for next year the following extract from Mrs. Banshinky's letter is of special i'm portasce and interest:
 Realizing that education is not an end but a means to an end. that end being noble character attested by useful life, we appeal to the educational spirit of Alabama's club women and ask that they carry their education and opportunity up into life by being potent factors in the uplift of others
 "There are many opportunities for serv- ice. First. the Montgomery chapter South ern Association College Women has se- cured the following scholarships.
 "One hundred dollars to Agnes Scott, one beneficiary.
 "rwo hundred dollars to Barnard. one beneficiary.
 "one hundred and fifty dollars to Smith, one beneficiary.
 "One hundred and seventy-fye dollars to Wellesly one beneficiary.
 Three hundred dollars to Mt. Holyoke, one beneficiary.
 "One handred and eighty dollars to Newcombe, two benefciaries.
 "Three hundred dollars to Baltimore, three beneficiaries.
 1.-TWO hundred and forty dollars to chi- cago university, two benefciaries. "Theset gifts, aggregsting Sl645 fin scholarships for Alabama girls an equiva- lent of an endowment fund of nearly s3O 900, will be absolutely valueless to the state, unless our young women prepare themselves to take advantage or sucn splendid opportunities. Therefore. will you not urge every club woman to inter- est herself in searching out worthy, ann bilious girls, whom she may inspire to avail themselves of these opportunities. "Surey there are young women in Bir- nmlgham, city which justly boasts of her schools who are enough interested in the genuine higher education offered in the genuine A grade colleges, such as the above 10 make at least an effort to secure one of these splendid gifts. Those who are interested should address Miss Margaret Booth, Montgomery, for details as to conditions laid down by the Mont gomery chapter of the Southern Associa- tion of College Women"
