Insanity Commitments
Assaulted by Judge
Lax Methods of Financial In.
vestigations Called Injustice
to TaxDayers

Judge McDermott, in signing a COM
mitment yesterday in the County
Court, Brooklyn, to send Mrs. Mary
Ribacki to a state hospital for the in
sane, condemned the practice of max
ing such commitments without an in
vestgation of the financial status of
relatives of the person committed who,
under the law, are responsible for
their maintenance if their means
permit.
AS IN most other cases, the papers in
the case of Mrs. Ribacki were stamped
"No information" in the space pro-
vided for facts relating to the re-
sources Of her husband who asked for
her commitment. Judge McDermott
declared that in his opinion consid-
cradle sums could be saved to taxpay-
ers by making an Investigation in all
such cases.
"The form submitted" he said,
wherein the husband is the petitioner.
following what seems to have become
relative to the financial status of the
husband, his means or his ability to
contribute to the support of his wife,
something he would be required to do
in case of ordinary illness.
'Instead a rubber stamp is en-
ployed, and the words NO information
are stamped on that part of the papers
purporting to be a statement of the
financial condition of the insane per-
SON. which certainly does not
justify me in certifying that | have
completed my duty under the statute;
and while have signed the present set
of papers because | realize that prece-
dent has perhaps justified the custom,
| shall refuse hereafter to sign such
applications unless some statement is
appended setting forth what has been
done to ascertain the financial condi-
ton of the alleged insane person."

Lack of Constitutional Government
No actual constitutional government,
at present obtains in China. There
are two parliaments in existence. each
claiming the other to be illegal. The
de tacto government at Pekinp func-
ton by virtue of its inheritance from
the Manchu regime, followed by the
PRESIDENTIAL administration under Yuan
ohlh-kal. lie had an ambition to be-
come emperor and form new dynasty.
and therefore, not wishing to be
fampered by constitutional limitations
ne prorogued Parliament prior to the
adoption of the final constitution.
Inc Southern group maintains that
had its passage not been blocked bv
Yuan the constitution as written would
have been surely adopted by Parlia-
ment as the will Of the people. Among
other things, this constitution provided
that no foreign loans should be con-
tracted by the government without
Parliamentary approval
1T is frequently asserted that
majority of both the present parlia-
ments Aave been named by the Tuchuns
or military governors. These men to-
day constitute in China the real
stumbling block to effective govern
ment, and until they can be controlled
or brought to arrange reconciliation
no so-called peace will be effective
Ihese Iuchuns derive their STRENGTH
in part from the local provincial reye-
nues which they collect and squeeze"
and partly from spasrhodic grants
made by the Picking government. The
Tuchuns and the Picking government
spend 80 much upon troops that until

PARLORS
CLOSE TOMORROW

MEXICALI, June 29.-At midnight
Wednesday five Of the largest saloons
in Mexicali, among them the most
prosperous, will close their doors and
go out of business.
The Climax and Smiths will not re-
move to another point, according to
present indications, but no expression
of intention has been learned from
the propretors of the o. X, the
White Front and the Monte Carlo.
The Gonzales saloon in the Casino
de MeXicali, or Pullman building is not
affected by the order, and has put in
second long bar on the west side
to accommodate an increased trade.
None of the places on the other streets
are to be touched, and will go on as
usual, dividing up the trade of the
five that go out of business.
The latest information from a re-
liable Mexican source, is to the effect
that the property facing international
avenue will be condemned, and the
street cut through ana practically all
the saloons put on that portion Of it
lying beyond the railroad railroad, al
though this is not a certainty. One
thing it is announced will be a muni-
cipal theater on the corner below the
railroad tracks.

though he is avowedly a progressive
he is in reality conservative. They
point to his appointments of William
T. q. Harding and Albert Strauss to
the Federal Reserve board and R. c.
Lefflngwell as assistant secretary of
the treasury, all of whom they regard
as extremely conservative.
THINK BRYAN PLAYING GAME
They also fear that McAdoo would
be too much under the domination Of
his fatherin-law and would work for
Harding rather than for anyone with
the Wilson brand.
The announcement from Nebraska
that Bryan finds "Senator Owen and
Secretary of Agriculture Meredith

the Oklahoma senator would not be
Objectionable to Bryan and could count
On his support in a fight against the
administration forces.
Leaders who are expecting Bryan to
make an attempt to grab off the NOM
lnation himself, however, say that they
see in Bryan's announcement merely
an indication that he is sure neither
Owen nor Meredith have any chance of
the nomination, and that he is sup
porting them merely as a means of
working himself into commanding
position.

AMERICANS MUST
PRACTICE ECONOMY

URY DEPARTMENT URGES
THRIFT PRACTICES HERE.

No fact is more significant at Til
time than the changed attitude Of the
American consumer in the purchase
of everyday needs of life. A year
ago the public was buying every
thing in sight regardless of the cost.
Most of us were so influenced by the
price mark on the goods that unless
the price was high we looked upon
the article with suspicion and re-
fused to take it, but the public has
been doing some thinking lately, and
thinking IS still the individuals chief
weapon of economic defense
Women have been going to market
in the old-fashioned way with MAJ
ket baskets on their arms. They have
picked up the cantaloupe, the berries
and the cuts of meat and looked them
over. If the quality and the price
were not satisfactory they refused to
buy them. They have gone into de-
partment stores in a similar way. II
they found the price ~exorbitant and
the quality ordinary, they have had
the courage to walk out. If they
could not find what they wanted at a
reasonable price, thew decidedfto FORE
90. the purchase and to wait until the
price came down.
Women have been figuring out how
much they are justified in spending
for the maintenance of the home.
They have been budgeting their in
comes and keeping an account Of
their expenditure. They have been
studying the value of foods and
clothes, realizing that the greatest
business of the nation, namely tie
purchase of food and clothing and
other household necessities, mast ne
run on the same b~usiness-like prin-
ciples as a commercial enterprise.
