NEWS FORECAST FOR
THE COMING WEEK

Washington, ID. c., Dec 27:-A New
Year without public reception at
the White House will be an altogether
novel experience for Washingtonians
next Thursday. The oldest member
of the Oldest Inhabitants Association
cannot remember a time when the
year was ushered in without observan-
ce of the time honored custom which
has now been upset in decision of
President Wilson.
There will be nothing in the way
of entertainment to compensate the
general public for the loss of what
it has so long been considered its
special privileges of shaking hands
with the President on New Years Day.
For those in official life, however,
there will be numerous functions to
mark the day. Secretary and Mrs.
Bryan will give the customary State
breakfast to the diplomatic corps,
while other cabinet officers and those
high in the Government service will
observe the day by keeping open
house.
AS usual, the first of the year will
see number of important measures
of legislation come into operation. A
number of new laws in the various
States will be of more than ordinary
interest and Importance. The Barnes
amendment to Nevada's divorce law
will come into effect January l. 1t
requires an applicant for divorce to
be resident of the State one year in
stead of six months as heretofore. A
stringent law for the curtailment of
the liquor traffic will become effec-
tive in Arkansas. In Wisconsin the
much discussed "eugenic marriage"
law will become effective. Working
mems compensation laws will come
into force in Connecticut, California
and Ohio, the Ohio law being pro
nounced by experts to be the most ad-
vanced act of its kind in the country.
Many educational and scientific
bodies will hold their annual meeting
during the week. The American AS
sociation for the Advancement of Sci
ence will meet in Atlanta, the Arch
geological Institute of America in
Montreal, the American Pathological
Association in Cambridge, Mass, the
American Historical Association in
Charleston, S. c., and the American
Political Science Association in Wash
ington, D. c.

be directed particularly to him, re-
torted with bitter words. A challenge
followed and messenger was sent to
Baltimore for surgeons. The combat
ants were accompanied to the field of
honor by Speaker Clay and Senator
King of New York. Through the me-
diation of these two an amicable set
tlement of the quarrel was brought
about. Nowadays a dispute between
our national lawmakers is usually
ended by mutual apologies, which
