Public Service Commission OF
Maryland, who died in Balti-
more yesterday, was in both his
public and his private life con
spicuous cxcmphfcation OF those
qualities of mind and heart which
are summed up in the word
gentleman" His outstanding
qualities were courtesy and for
bearancc. with a generous meas
ure OF sound common sense. and
the public service he rendered
was thereby made brighter foI
all with whom he came in con
tact. He was whole-souled
man and OF a temperament that
was refreshing in its optimism
and buoyancy. He was deeply in
terested in the things that make
life worth while. and like "Abou-
Ben-Adhcm" he loved his fellow
man.
lie was a type OF man that eN-
ats and brightens every associa-
ton and whose death brings the
deepest sense of loss to those
who knew him.

a writer speaker and recognized

claims that women d onot invest
enough in corsets. for the reason that
they do not appreciate their import

While the statements made are to

"One pair of corsets is the proper

CLOGGING THE WHEELS OF
GOVERNMENT

Americas foreign relations
are in a jam because OF the SEN
ate's Discrimination to do any
thing the President asks it to do.
After more than three weeks OF
delay, the Senate Foreign Rela-
tons Committee, OF which Sena-
tor Lodge is Chairman, has fav-
orably reported out the notnina-
ton OF Bainbridg3 Colby to be
Secretary of State, but lacking
confirmation by the Senate, the
President is still without Sec
rotary OF State, and if the Senate
follows the habit it has fallen in
to, that of delaying conhrma-
tons. the country may continue
to be without such an official for
an indefinite time
The President has not had and
could not have even an acting
Secretary since March 18th. on
which date the statutory limita-
ton on the Under Secretary OF
State acting as Secretary expired.
Secretary Lansing's resignation
became effective February 18th;
the Under Secretary may be act
ing Secretary only for thirty
DAYS. hence Frank l.. Folks ten
ure as acting secretary expired
March 18th. Since that date. il
has not been possible to issue
passports. because there has been
no Secretary of State 10 sign

they might be signed.
No DEGREES OF the President
could be issued; no laws enacted
by Congress could be attested
and have the Great Seal affixed
the Presidents signature to off
cial documents could not be at
tested; no funds for the State
Department could be discussed,
in consequence. drafts, presented
against the State Department
