GYM URGED FOR
FRENCH WOMEN
Lieutenant Says Athletics
Will Improve Motherhood.

PARIS. Feb 12-Lieut. Herbert. who
was in charge of the whole system of
gymnastics by which French poilus were
kept in condition during the war, has
announced that he will devote the re-
mainder Of his life to arousing interest
in gymnastics and athletics among
French women.
"AIy most sacred duty during the war
was to train men for the trying ordeals
thev faced on the batt1efelds," said
Lieut.. Hebert. Now that the war is
over my duty to France is to help raise
a race Of young women fit for mother
hood"
Before the war the lieutenant was the
director of the athletic college at
Rheims. At that time he contributed sew
eral articles to newspapers and maya
zines denouncing French style-makers
for introducing modes which, he said,
deformed young women at an age when
their bodies should be free for dancing
and athletics. His articles attracted wide
attention and met with fiery responses
from some of the big Paris dressmakers.
Lieut.. Heberts first move in his cam
paign to better the women OF France
physically was to have printed n large
catalogue showing some Of the evils OF
modern dress. On one page ne produced
the silhouette Of a French maiden as she
would appear In Rue de Ia PAX ere
alton On the opposite page appeared q
reproduction Of one Of the classic bits
of sculpture Of the feminine form from
the louvre to show the contrast. The
pages following contained photographs
taken from life Of girls who had adopted
simple costumes and had spent much Of
their time at sports
The lieutenant Is being reinforced in
his campaign by Nine. Go1raud Morris,
all-round woman athletic champion of
France Nine. Norris has written let
ter to several newspapers urging that
tia next Olympic games provide compe-
titlon for women In all branches Of
athletics.

RHODE ISLAND
PLAN OF PICKING.
JUDGES SCORED
Governor Against Appointment
by General Assembly
of State.
SEEKS LAW CHANGES

u PROVIDENCE, r. l., Feb. 12.-Steps to
change the method of electlng judges of
the Rhode Island courts are expected to
follow the election by the general as
semb1y of William II. Sweetland as chief
Justice Of the supreme court of the state.
He succeeds Chief Justice Parkhurst,
resigned, and has been on the supreme
court bench for ten years. 1t is held that
political partisanship is governing the
appointments and that CIVILIZATIONS have
no particular bearing. Gov. Beeckman
has openly criticised the system and an
nounced that he will do all he can to
change it. Judge George 7. Brown OF
the supreme court issued statement in
which he said that In q period Of more
than fifty years no democrat had sat
upon the supreme court.
BELIEVES APPOINTMENT
SHOULD BE GOVERNORS.
81 am strongly opposed" Gov. Beck
electing the judges of our courts.
believe Judges should be appointed by
the governor, as is the case in Massa-
chusetts, or elected by the people for a
long term of years, as is done In New
York state. I'll do my utmost to change
the present Ubiquitous practice"
The governor said that he is IN favor
Of bill to provide method Of electing
judges removed from political influence
and that he would try to have such leg
islatlon presented and passed by the gen.
eral assembly.
"These men who are sitting as judges
of our high courts have become good
judges as a result Of their experience"
said Judge Brown. mot all of them,
however, were considered qualified at the
time Of their election. Not three of them
could honestly claim that had IL not been
for their political activities and affiIia-
tions they would now be sitting on the
bench.
JUDGE ASPIRANTS
BECOME POLITICIANS.
with possibly three exceptions every
Judge Of the supreme and superior court
has passed from district politician to
town OF city solicitor or to district
court Judge; from ward leader to mem
Der Of the general assembly, and thence
to the superior and supreme court. Be
cause of our system OF electing judges,
young lawyers, ambitious to become
judges, have, most Of them, aligned
themselves with the republican party.
"a democratic lawyer seldom had
chance to be elected even judge Of pro-
bate in one OF our towns. A lawyer, by
becoming a republican, saw a chance Of
becoming Judge Of the court Of probate
Of his town, or of the district court Of
his judicial district, and eventually OF
the superior and supreme court"

A Patriotic Stand.
(Rutland News.l

1t is notable that the Brattleboro
post of the American Legion has
adopted a resolution opposing the pro
posed gift of $50 in the compensation
act before congress Several reasons
for the position are given. One is that
the members do not feel that their
services in the world war can be paid
for by the government in money and
that if the American Legion asks for
compensation it will lose prestige. An
other reason is that request for
money at the eve of a presidential
campaign, with the nation burdened by
overwhelming expenditures and inter
est charges, would be un- American. In
sistence upon congress passing the act
would place senators and representa-
tives in an embarrassing position po-
litically, as of course no members of
congress would wish to get the dis
favor of service men. Certainly. the
position taken by the Brattleboro post
is decidedly patriotic and high minded.
