 Rushing Into Court
 There is food for thought In the Sug- gestion cf Russell Duane, oUe ot the leaders Of the Philadelphia bar, for a short cut Co the SIunIfratioD ot iudl. ciaI proccdure and the clearing of un- important cases from the dockets Of the courts. His idea Is that most per sons who think they have a legal Eriev- ance should consult a doctor. not law yer. In effect he S1ys that % per cent or the eases brought into court are the result Of an unhealthy liver
 MT. Duane said that lawyers should advise most of theI- clients Co Co tO a doctor before C0iuE to court Then there would be very little litigation. It would be better for the public, prob ably, but not so good for the lawyers
 As a matter Of fact, however, law yers are tending more and more toward settling cases out of court In some countries in the far east it is the prae, tice Co pay doctors for keeping their clients in good health.

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day.

A Massive Steel Structure to Span the
 Sacred River
 The task of bringing the GRnges, the crcat river of northern India which issues from an ice cave at the foot ot the HImalayan snow bed, has been assigned to a group Of English en- gineerS
 This bridge, which is over & mile In length. Is to carry the Eastern Bengal State railway over the Ganges from Damukelia Co Sara Chat, the place of pIlgrImage to which hundreds of thou sands of devout Hlndus repair once a year to wash away their sins in the sacred river.
 Spanning the river. the bridge will be carried ou steel trestles, which in turn will be supported on massive steel grIIles iu granite piers The contract consists of fifteen main spans, each S59 feet long and 62 feet high and weighing 1900 tons
 The Ganges is essentially a river of great cities. Calcutta, Patna, Benares and Allahahad all lie on its course, and the ancient capitals of Agra and Delhi are on the Jumua, higher up. Great changes take place from time to time In the river bed of the Ganges' which considerably alter the face of the country. Extensive islands are then thrown up, and many decayed and ruined cities that are then diScov- cred attest the changes in the river bed fin ancient times The bridge VIII cost about El.25O,OOO to build.-West. rlIrslar Eaznlta

VESTS rOR WOMEN.

The style makers have given women
a new slogan Vests for women
must soon be q phrase as familiar as
votes for women" The arbiters OF
fashion decree that the spring STYLES
for the fai9er sex must incorporate the
vest as a part OF the costume. One
piece and two-piece suits will be re-
placed by the three-piece suit, of which
the YES, will be the most conspicuous
part.
The new garment IS to be made in
colors that contrast with tho rest OF
the suit. The effect will be to give
Us some gorgeous and dazzling cos
TUNES. Every shade and color in
thousands OF combinations will be
employed. and vests will prove ex-
cellent indicators Of the wea-er's taste
and tone.
The fact that the vests will contain
pockets demonstrates what inroads

advances.
The recommendation OF compulsory
arbitration by the board gives reeog-
milton TO the complicated problem
which confronts the Interstate Com
merce Commission by reason or the au-
thority given II by Congress TO resu-
late freight charges. The arbitrators
state that inasmuch as the railroads
are under the control OF the Federai
and various State commissions, similar
supervision should be exercised over
the labor examinations of employees by
the creation of wage arbitration poafos'
which would render strikes Impossible.
While the comforting of this authority
would logically seem TO follow from
the delegation of the power to deter
mine freight rates, the adoption OF
compulsory arbitration would uhdoap'-
eddy be an unwise measure. 1t would
be equally as logical 10 grant the ran
