There is no human like unto a
strong gentiewoman-
To such a woman, there could be no
homage too great For to her there is
given by nature a refinement OF poise
and an intelligence so ingrained that
by instinct alone she Is able to tread
her way straight toward the right.
Wherever there is suffering, wher-
ever there is need. you will find some
noble woman ministering gladly and

most. No wonder that we think of
angels as women figuresl
At her desk in offices. behind coun-

President Wilson's statement ought
20 convince every unbiased mind that
there is imperative need for setting up
a league OF nations. It is an integral
part of-the peace treaty; indeed, it is
the very cornerstone of the Versailles
settlement. OF course. says Forbes
magazine. there is room for criticism.
The charge that Wilson is an idealist
who refuses to get down to brass-tack
realities contains a large measure of
truth. That he cxhorts rather than
explains must also be admitted. Yet
when all is said and done. he rendered
Invaluable service in composing the
.Inomentous differences which had to
be reckoned with in Europe. With
out his presence at Paris. it is ex-
tremely probable that the peace
makers would still be wrangling and
auarrelinE. without any treaty within
sight. America Is not the only nation
which Is called upon under the league
of nations to give up something which
national pride would prefer to hold
on to. But the object sought to be at
tained Is so infinitely important and
desirable that it is worth almost any
sacrifice.

THE NEED OF THE WORLD

THE NEED OF THE WORLD.
The world is needing you and me
In places where we ought to be;
Somewhere today it's needing you
To stand for what You know Is true,
And needing me somewhere today
To keep the faith, let come what may.
The world Is needing me and you
To share the tasks 1t has to do:
1t needs high minded men to stand
Against the thoughtless OF the land;
Men who will scorn to stoop to wrong
To win the favor of the throng.
The world needs humble men to toll,
Men who will till patch of soil,
Men who behind their work can see
More than Its gold and silver fee
And choose to serve where best they can
Their country and their fellowmnn.
The world needs honest men today
To lead its youth along the way
Men who will write In all their deeds
The beauty of their spoken creeds
And spurn advantage here or gain
On which deceit must leave its stain.
The world needs men who will not bras
Men who will honor Freedoms Flag,
Men, who. altho the way Is hard,
against the lure OF shame will guard.
The world needs gentle men and true
And calls aloud to me and you,
The world nee'ls men of lofty aim
Not merely men Of skin and fame
Not merely leaders wise and grave
Or learned men or soldiers brave
But men whose lives are fair to see
Such men as you and I can be

INSURANCE CODE
FOR THIS STATE
Commission Will Ask Legis-
lature to Be Continued
For Two Years

Legislation is being prepared
whereby the State Commission
named in 1917 to revise the insur-
ance laws of Pennsylvania will asE
the present session of the general
assembly to continue 1t until 1921
in order that 1t may mako COM
plete code of insurance laws. The
commission did not get startedy until
late and thus far has prepared but
two bills.
Members of the commission are
said to hold that the subject Is one
which should have a couple or
years of expert study and that the
present time is hardly one to make
radical changes. 1t will be sug-
gested that the commission should
have two full years in which to con-
slider the situation and consult with
experts. An appropriation to con-
tinue the present staff and to pro-
vide for such assistance as may be
needed will be asked. The mem
bership of the commission consists
of men appointed by the Governor
and the presiding officers, of the two
houses of the Legislature.
The bills outlined deal with re-
serves, especially for liability. and
fraternal and other beneficial con-
Germs with insurance features. The
latter bill is much like that pre-
sented two years ago. but is said
to have more supervisory powers.
A beneficial insurance regulator is
already in the Legislature.

EXTRA JUDGE BILL
CAUSES INQUIRY
Members Want to Get Some
Information as to Need in
Coming DRY" Time

A question which may affect the
various bills reported as being
drawn for extra judges in Pennsyl-
vania, especially in view of the fact
that dry" time is coming with
consequent reduction of criminal
court business, has arisen over the
Dithrich bill to provide two addi-
tional judges in Allegheny county.
There were suggestions heard to-
day that the bill should be held un-
til an inquiry can be made in the
county affected.
Representatives who voted for
prohibition are raising the question
that the abolition of liquor will so
reduce the work of the criminal
branch of the courts that additional
judges will be unnecessary. The
only claim put forward for the Dith-
rich bill is that the quarter sessions
courts of the county are now so
clogged that it has been necessary
to have two outside judges sitting
in Pittsburgh most of the time dur
ing 1918. 1t is argued that when
the 1911 law was placed on the
statute books it promised that it
would prevent all future increases
in the judiciary, the 102 common
pleas judges being sufficient to han
die the business of the state. Leg
islators who helped to put this act
on the books are inclined to fight
any departure from the policy then
established.
There has been nothing heard
publicly from the bench and bar of
Allegheny county as to. necessity.
Stories filter in from Pittsburgh
that the present judges and leaders
or Allegheny county are opposed to
any additional judges being created,
it being reported that in 1918 the
state paid $4,000 for relieving the
Allegheny criminal courts through
the agency of visiting judges. 1t is
pointed out that the new judges in
salary alone would cost the state
$4,000 a year. Another story is
that the records of the Prothono-
tarys office of Allegheny county
will show that the common pleas
judges do not have more business
than they can handle. 1t is said
that they are within a year of keep
ing up with the business, which is
considered satisfactory.
Legislators are also hearing that
il the Dithrich bill passes the House
1t is TO be so amended in the Senate
as TO include the repeal of the act
of 1911 creating the county court of
Allegheny as a reason for adding to
the common pleas bench. This min
or court is credited with relieving
the common pleas courts of 1000
cases a year, it being possible to
finally dispose of a case in this court
in twelve days. 1t is the body that
handles all the juvenile and deser-
tion and nonsupport cases.
All of these stories are having the
effect of making uncertain the
passage of the Dithrich bill. The
suggestion is made that action be
postponed until an investigation is
made in Allegheny county of the
real necessity for the additional
iudres
