Two women received special recOg-

God has permitted them to live to see
the new day and the result of their
labors.
Again it was our pleasant privi-
lege to listen to an address by our
State President, using as her theme,
What Next" in which she assured
us our work was not finished and
mapped out various lines of important
work yet to be done.
At this period the State L. 1T. o..

RECOMMEND LAWS
OF CERTAINTY
and SIMPLICITY

St. Louis. Aug. 2S-The drift of
9aw is towards uncertainty, confusion
sand variation" according to the re-
Eport of the committee on reclassifica-
ttion and restatement of the law, sub
emitted at today's session of the con-
svention here of the American Bar as
Ssociation- The committee suggests
kthat simpler republication of the
Flaw be effected, and that the laws in
the various states be more uniform.
Our national aspiration the re-
tport asserts, "sho uld be satisfied by
nothing short of leadership, not by
bthe power of our financial and indus
trial resources of our military
sstrength, but by reason of the excel
tlence of our institutions, our laws, and
the efficient administration of justice
"A certain and uniform system of law
tfor country so large in area and so
kdfvided as to government can be at
Etained only through making plain by
Visible expression with the greatest
kattainable certainty, simplicity, COM
Lpleteness and order the great system
tof law which has been developed but
(which has been inadequately express
led in this country
The report emphasizes that a clear
understanding of the laws of the sew
keral states is particularly essential now
because of increasing interstate com
Enerce.
1.-THE possibility for Improvement OF
our law cannot be overeStimated,' -
continues the report 1.-THE causes for
the confusion and uncertainty of the
law and the responsibility for them
are matters which are relevant to the
means which may be taken to i'm
Eprove the law.
"Of these causes 1t may be remark
bed that in a complex and progressive
lsystem of law there is a natural
tendency Gin the absence OF counter
Hnfuences) to confusion and un-
bcertainty and, in country composed
rof 50 many states with a large number
bof independent courts and with nc
court of ultimate decision as to a
t1arge part of the subjects of litigation
dhis tendency is increased.
"One of the counter influences is
kthe existence in all the states of iden-
Ftical fnStitutions and the same system
bof fundamental principles called the
scomnon law, but under the conditions
(which exist the principles of this
theoretically identical law have them
ksefves become less certain and defin-
bfte and more varied and contradic-
Etory."

CHICAGO MOVES
FURTHER AWAY
FROM new YORK
Not In Miles, But In In
creased Cost of
Travel.

Chicago Is moro than twice as far
from New York as 1t was six years
ago. More than that-every place
In the United States Is now about
twice as far from every other place as
1t was in 1914"
These rather startling assertions arr
made by Secretary Thompson of the
National Rivers and Harbors Con
greee in q statement released today
The statement goes on to say:
"Of course. the number of miles
between New York and Chicago, OF
any other two places that might be
named, is just the same now as il
always was-but miles are not the
only things to measure by. We
might use time, for instance, and II
has been well said by an English
twriter that Tt Is not mileage. but cos'
OF transportation, which constitutes
tance.'
Geographically, Chicago is still l.
1000 miles from New York, but, be-
cause of the increases made in freight
lrates during the past six years, the
lefty on Lake Michigan is now, com
bmerciaily. 2,100 miles from tdewater
ha.nd every community in the country
has been pushed back until it is twice

''The whole increase was not made

have stood for tt if it had been. First
ut was five. per cent in 1914; then
phfteen per cent in 1917; then twenty
hive per cent, by Mr.. McAdoo's order.
bin 1918; and now an advance varying
from twenty-five per cent. for the
Southern and Pacific
lgroups to 40 per cent. for the Eastern
group, and averaging, according to
ian estimate made by the Bureau of
HALLWAY Economics, 34.5S per cent.
Nor the whole country.
\ ''Stated in another way, this means
echat for every dollar paid to the rail-
kroads for freight in 1914 we must
know pay two dollars or more. Now
hft Is juSt as certain as fate itself that

INITIATING MAHOGANY.

In the manufacture of furniture
and cabinets a great deal of red gum
is used as an imitation of mahogany
or Circassian walnut. says the Ameri-
can Forestry Magazine. When red
gum is properly finished it can be
made to look much like either of
these woods. There is a very distinct
difference, however, between red gum
and mahogany or walnut. This diff
ference lies in the size of the pores.
