AT THE LAST COURT.

AT THE LAST COURT.
The constitutionality of race segre-
cation ordinances was argued before
the United States Supreme Court
Monday.
Arguments on race segregation Gen.
tered upon validity of the Louisville,
KY, regulation making it unlawful
for any Negro to occupy residence
in any block in which greater num-
Der of houses are occupied by whites,
and unlawful for white person to
occupy a residence in a Negro block.
Pointing out that segregation ordi-
nances now are in force in Baltimore,
Richmond, st. Louis and many other
cities and towns, besides Louisville,
counsel emphasized that a decision
would have sweeping effect, espe-
cially throughout the South.
Pendleton Beckley, Louisville city
attorney, and Stuart Chevalier of
Louisville, defending the validity of
the Louisville ordinance, argued that
it's object was reciprocal and would
tend to preserve race integrity and to
avoid race conflict.
Clayton B. Blakey of Louisville and
Moorfield Storey of Boston contended
that it violated the rights of Negroes,
having as a predominant purpose to
prevent them from approaching
condition Of social equality.

AS wise Is the prophets of old; adroit
as a successful corporation lawyer:
direct child, devious as diplomat;
firm a s granite. soft as down. posses
sed of a memory that forgets nothing
it should remember and remembers
nothing it should forget. and with a
suave tact that nothing can ruffie-
those are a few of the qualifications
that must be those of that woman
who aspires TO be the social secretary
of the White House.
Add to these the familiar knoWl-
edge of languages, the personality of
one accustomed to stand on an equal
footing with dignitaries and the adapt
ability of one who on occasion may
fraternize with the lowiiest with no
appearance of condescension. and the
position of social secretary at the
White House assumes an aspect not
at all resembling a sinecure.

House official once remarked. may

An English Snow Plow.

The labor shortage caused bv the
war has stimulated British inventive
ness. The latest and most timely de-
vice Is new snow pillow The need
for such machine was sharply felt
when the first winter storms tied up
rural traffic.
The new pillow takes the place of
scores of men. 1t is horse drawn and
adjustable to almost any conditions
For road work it has an easily ad-
Unstable breadth of six to nine feet
BY simple change it can be adjusted
for use on winding footpaths. It will
follow the horse any place he can 60

which adopted II say that 1t saved its
cost In a single day.

Decision Rests on Her.

Some one of sufficient importance to
enlist Influence" may write to the wife
of the President, asking that an invi-
tation be sent to the writer for GER
tain occasion. Then the social secre-
tary is called on to use her judgment,
her diplomacy. her tact. her general
knowledge: and upon her decision rests
the fate of the aspirant to White
House recognition. Mistakes have been
retarys work. but they have been few,
very few. and they have not been re-
peated. For example:
man of towering Importance in his
own state. and of more than little
national influence. came to Congress-
during a recent administration. He was
man of wealth, but of little polish
and his wife had never made any pre-
tense at social aspira tions.
One day the then social secretary
opened a letter addressed to the then
mistress of the White House. asking
for the inclusion of the name of wom-
an, to the secretary unknown. in the
list of those to receive invitations to
certain White House function. The
name signed to the letter, which was
poorly written on ordinary corre-
spondence paper, was that of a woman
at the White House and whose similar
requests were invariably, if courteous
ly, refused. There was nothing to indi-
cate that the letter was not from her;
so, without taking time to compare
stationery. handwriting. etc. with other
letters. the social secretary wrote
brief refusal.

John Oliver La Gorce. Say it over
carefully two or three times, and
doubt not that you will reach the con-

will realize that it is grandiloquent

| Moreover it answers the trite query:
Whats in a name" In this instance
there is considerable exterior dignity
connected with this name. and good
front view of J. Oliver will convince
any one that he sprang full panoplied
with regal manners from the very
brain of Jovus Dignitatus or Digitalis.
or whoever is the right olympic to
bla me it on.
These thoughts spring rushing to
the front ! contemplate what John
Oliver did at a White House reception.
He was one of a small party. includ-
ing one Val Ridsdale, whose real name
is Percival. and two ladies. 1t was
