Mr.. Smith was pulled into the ma

right. Now there is no better sit

when 1t says:
"It is a pity that considerations OF

Wilson about his Mexican course to
keep silent on the subject. Affairs
In Mexico are in very bad way.
They are likely to grow worse.When
a man expresses the belief that Will

wrong, it is instantly assumed that

DIsOoURAGING LAWSUITS

The general public would about as
soon expect farmers to discourage
corn from growing as expect law
yers to discourage litigation. And
vet that is Just what the New York
Star Bar association appears to be
contemplating.
The association has committee
appointed to consider ways to dis
courage, reduce or prevent unneces-
sary litigation" So have other bar
associations, for that matter. But
this particular committee is getting
busy on the Job. 1t is seeking to
learn, first, how causes for disputes
concerning Wills, contracts. etc:, can
best be prevented; and, second, after
disputes over such matters have
arisen, how unnecessary Having
can be obyiated. In pursuance Of this
inquiry the chairman is asking tbs
cooperation of judges, lawyers anC
even laymen.
This looks like an attempt on thu
part of the lawyers to cut off theil
own living. AS legal processes arr
simplified and lawsuits are curtail
ed, there is Of course less work TO
attorneys to do. 1t is significant o
the growing spirit Of moral respon
lsIblllty on the part of the profes
sion that It seriously proposes :

New Design in JeweIry Initiated
by Girl Baron Rosen Called
Most Beautiful.

WASHINGTON, March 1S.-Miss
Gladys Hinckley. whose fads and
fancies have a leaning toward the
unusual, if not the astonishing, has
given society in Washington another
thrill No she is not wearing a pur-
pie wig or an anklet studded with
precious stones. but she is wearing a
bug suspended from her dainty ear.
Now. what Miss Hinckley does and
DEGREES is more than likely to carry
considerable weight, for she is one of
the popular and original members of
the smart set in the nations capital.
More than that, she bears the distinc-
ton of having been called the most
beautiful woman in America by no
less a parsonage than Baron Rosen,
former Russian Ambassador.
The bug is tiny platinum one,
studded with jewels and hangs from
Miss Hinckleys ear by an almost in
visible chain. Many of her friends
are calling the bug real cute and
chic and the very thing What
the rest Of her friends think Of the
bug Miss Hinckley SAYS she does not
care. for be it understood, leaders in
new fashions must be daring if any
thing
So Miss Hinckley apparently IN
tends to do her very best for the little
bug. She wears it practically
wherever she goes, and there are no
signs that she will discontinue her
fad. She hopes others will take cour-
age and follow the fashion.
Two years ago she appeared with
the fashionable promenaders on Con-
necticut avenue wearing a golden
snake twisted about her neck So
realistic was the metal reptile that her
friends were startled and all they
could say after recovering their
breath was. what neXt?"
