WHERE THERE Is
NOTHING INA NAME

Do you live in an apartment house
with name suggestive of opulence
and extravaganza? And do you use
the name on your card; do you men,
ton it in giving your telephone adj
dress?
If you are Mrs. Jared MONTGOMERY
Smith of the Hadleigh. or Mrs. Percy
Fairfax Brown of Tuxedo Towers, you
are sadly behind the times Whether
you live in New York or in Omaha,
Washington or San Francisco, you
should ignore the label which the
building In which you dwell bears for
the purpose of Identification. 1t is bad
form to be known as a fiat dweller.
You should have a number. and that
is all. The number gives the impress
sion that you are one OF the few sur
vivors of former modes of high living,
one of the wealthy owners Of homes
on city ground.
Not many years ago 1t was really a
distinction for residents of growing
towns out West to be known as occu-
pants of the Alamo or the San Pedro
apartments. 1t was a sign that ones
ambitious little city was progressing
and taking on all the airs Of an East
ern center of civic activity. Now all
is changed, and IL you adhere to the
strictest code you will be silent con-
corning the name which enables your
friends to trace you in the telephone
book. You Will say that Plaza 5005 or
Gramercy 1854 will reach you. even
though you are certain that numbers
and prefixes will slip the memory when
something like Sherbourne Court or
the Mendelssohn would be recalled in
time of need. at the moment when
extra opera tickets or impromptu din
ner parties depend on hasty summons.
1t requires a certain heroism to keep
up with the procession nowadays. The
woman who wishes to be known to her
she can rest on her early training or
and manners change just as much as
modes in gowns and hats. The custom
that is considered quite above criti-
cism today may mark one as a person
who Is in need of coaching tomorrow.
After all. it is the little things that
tell the story of ones social station.
The world was never SO critical as IL
Is today, never so exacting about what
are really nonessentials or so lenient
about the essentials. In other words,
IL is quite common TO ignore the fact
that Mrs. Evelina Jones-Jenkins has
been divorced twice IL she is CONNIE
II faut in the smallest things that put
the right stamp on the woman of the
world
Therefore, cease to be Mrs. Anybody
of Westerleigh Hall. and become Mrs.
Somebody Of % Midas Boulevard or
S41 West Bungalow Avenue.

An Attack Upon MustacheS in Their

Mustaches are to the British army officer WHAT

badge of Office the chief emblem of his trade MS

now seriously proposed that these epaulets OF the
INNER lip be curbed clipped exterminated. In the

is actually proposed that the be laid at these

lust how far the inSidiouS American vice oi clean
shaving has penetrated may he gathered from
these revolutionary sentiments contributed by
"ChapIain. r. NJ" to THE Daily Mail:
How any one with aesthetic eye can imagine
that a mustache is in any sense an hdorhHcht, VI

Roman strength nor Greek beauty knows the type
one notes with satisfaction that Tor years past
the custom of clean shaving has been galhlng
ground-e g.. in the universities, and in sport ana
games generally where it Is practically universal.
All that Is wanted TO make the custom, as OF yore'
the distinguishing mark Of the Briusher teNcepl,
perhaps when he lived in cavesD Is its general
adoption by army men.
Shorn and envious lips the world over will echo
these sentiments. But there would be an equal
roar of rage from the whole mustached race. Every
American college boy who has coaxed into being a
nifty clipped pair in obedience to the latest decree
of fashion should rise and hiss and twrl.

A Protectorate for Nicaragua.

The administrations plan for establishing n
virtual protectOrate Nicaragua, outlined by
Secretary BRYAN to the Senate Committee on For
ness If the United States desires, for its own
benefit and for the benefit OF Nicaragua. to assume
political guardianship of the latter country 1t would
be better to do It openly the administration sug
gests than to employ the device of banking syn
dIcate authorized to take over the control Of Nicar
agua's revenues and finances,
The treaty negotiated by the Taft administra-
ton, which failed of confirmation In the Senate,
sought to assure Nicaragua financial and political
stability by the indirect method. That would have
been a first step toward protectorate. If Near
aqua is now ready to 90 further and ask for the
same moral and material assistance as the United
States stands pledged to give to Cuba, broad consid
erations of national policy would fully justify the
acceptance by this government Of obligation
which will plainly work for the advantage Of both
countries
The United States should do what it do rea-
sonaby to insure order tranquility and political
and material progress In the small republics when
lie in the neighborhood Of the Isthmian Canal Zone
It is to our interest as well to theirs that they
should be freed from the curse Of revolutions for
the sole purpose of private plunder.
If Nicaragua asks for an insertion in the pending
treaty of the chief guarantees contained in the Patt
amendment to the constitution OF Cuba there are
good reasons why the United States should extend
the protection requested We are obliged by the

Is Arbitration Only for the Men !?

The men in all sections of the Eastern territory
are ncensed at the attitude Of the railroads in ask
ing that their grievances be arbtrated along with
those of the men," said one of the leaders Of the
conductors and trainmen But why? Is not arbi-
tration game two can play at?
Why should not the railroads side of the case be
heard along with the mems? What gain will come
from making two bites of this particular arbitra-
tion cherry!
The employees have laid great stress from the
outset upon their willingness to arbitrate. They
contrasted their own attitude with that of the rail-
roads They had great faith in arbitration. What
difference does this demand Of the railroads Of the
opportunity TO lay their grievances upon the table
alongside those of the men make?
Suppose the railroads have genuine grievances.
When will the conductors and trainmen permit their
presentation to an arbitration commission if not
now? little later? Next time the conductors
and trainmen present grievances? Or will they
always threaten to strike If the railroads ask to
be heard by the arbitration commission?

assassination Of her great statesman Stephen Siam

The Power of the Presidency.

Senator Oummins forgot to make a necessary dis
tincton when IN his speech on Saturday he depored
the exercise Of the power of the President, acting
as party leader to coerce or control the action of
Congress. he said
So long as the President is permitted 20 set up
standard loyalty TO the party to which he may be-
long and condemn every who does not accept
it, and so long as members Of Congress vote under
the apprehension that they may suffer from the
Presidential power controlled by his judgment in
stead Of their own long Congress will incur, and
will deserve the contempt Of all true lovers Of free
and representative government.
The Iowa Senator made no allowance for the fact
that the President a rule can bring successful
PRESSURE on a reluctant Congress only when he has
behind him the general support Of public opinion.
If he speaks for a majority Of the people and Con
gressmen know that he does they will yield to him
as the spokesman for the country But II they are
certain that he is speaking only for himself or for
a minority Of the people they will resist him to
the bitter end and make political capital for them
selves by so doing.
In numerous instances 1t has been shown that
Congress is little affected by the opinions Of Pres
dents speaking merely for themselves. IL is only
when they act for the power which makes Con
.,resses as well as Presidents that the representa-
lives Of the people on Capitol Hill really fear and
tremble
