SEX IS IGNORED
BY MRS. ADAMS
Education All that Matters
Declares Woman Asst.
Attorney General.

Make up your mind to arrive
that is the advice OF Mrs. Annette
Abbott Adams. the first woman to
be honored by the title Of Assistant
Attorney General, who has just
busted off her new desk at the De-
partment OF Justice.
1t is not sex but education
which makes the difference between
men and women" says Mrs. Adams
Every woman of ordinary ability
can succeed If she only makes UP
her own mind that she will, she
must arrive
She doesn't like to talk about her
work. She says it covers an unro-
mantle field. But to the newspa-
per woman who talked with her
yesterday Mrs. Adams schedule of
activities seemed almost as varied
and interesting as her own. She
has something different for every
day in the week. and in February
probably has something extra for
that leap year anniversary.
Her jurisdiction covers the income
tax, War Risk insurance, food and
drug laws, meat inspection, migra-
tory bird treaty laws, Federal pris-
Cns and the Volstead act-to say
nothing Of a few other regulatory
laws of commerce.
Variety is the spice of life. Mrs.
Adams certainly has her choice of
rclishes.

That was also the substance OF
q statement made by the owner of
smart store for men. Customers
drop into tho store. buy a felt Gre
alton and donate their straw hats
to the salesman. NO indeed we
don't try to sell them again, we
shoot them down to the furnace"
he said.
7 In this particular store the pre-
diction was made that the price
peak was not yet reached on straw
hats and that next year they would
be sold from 81 up. This year the
highest priced hat the store sold
was a Central American panama
which carried the price tag of $40.
One man bought FIVE straws in
three weeks" the salesman said.
That styles will not be much diff
ferent next year was also a state
ment made in this store. The
lower and the brim a little mar
rover.
That being the case, perhaps next
summer may find an even greater
percentage OF second season straw
hats upon the streets than has been
apparent this year. They are a
great deal like pins though. they
vanish though no one knows eI-
actIy where.

District engineers engaged upon

estimated at from 65,oO0,o00 to ST.
100000 gallons daily, safety preclud-
ing greater tax upon the conduit
The Districts present water con-
sumption reaches similar figure.

boy STOWAWAY
TOU.S.
Sent to France, Comes Back
Again Asking Aid of
Local Woman.

A 14-year-old French boy. George
Perriot, deported last May as an
incorrigible, has returned to Amer
lea aboard the U. S. S. waterwood
as a stowaway and is held at Ell
lis Island by the immigration au-
thorities. He has appealed his case
to the State Department here, de-
claring that Mrs. George P. Houle-
han, of 1919 Hobart street north
west, will help him.
Lieut.. Howell P. French. of the
Thirty-second Division, U. S. army,
discovered the boy at Dijon in 1918
and sent him to school Lieut..
French lost track of the boy until
last January when he arrived in
the United states and sent for his
benefactor. The boy was released
upon bond to enter as a pro
tege"
In May, however, Lieut.. French
appealed to the immigration Bu-
reau seeking release from respon-
sibility for the boy on the grounds
that he was disobedient and an
incorrigible.
The specific charges of disobedi-
ence by French are his refusal to
attend public school and a sulky
determination not to wear knee
breeches. Perriot felt himself to
be a man and would not dress 9TH
erwise, according to testimony of
Lieut.. French.
The boy is a citizen of France,
his original home being near Douai
Whether he will be allowed to en-
ter the United States even though
Mrs. Houlehan comes to his rescue,

UNIFORMITY IS SOUGHT

Increase in intrastate railroad
rates to correspond with the in
crease in interstate rates granted
last week by the Interstate Com
merce Commission may result in
the repeal of laws and in some
cases the Interference of the Fed
eral commission. Already several
State public utility commissions
have under consideration proposals
for an Increase in rates, according
to information obtained yesterday
at National Association Of Railroad
commissions.
1t was pointed out that in sew

cents a mile. In this manner, it was
said, the State government has TAX
en- this matter almost entirely out
OF the hands of the public utility
commissions.
Means Involved Legislation.
Amy change in intra-State rates
will in many cases necessitate ex-
tensive and involved legislation.
The State governments, it is said,
will either have to repeal the law
liking rates and place the matter
commission, or else will have to
pass new laws.
The basis upon which the Inter
state Commerce Commission can in
terfere in the fixing of intrastate
rates, 1t was pointed out, is their
power to change intrastate rates
which are discriminatory. There is
still some question as to how eX-
tensiye this power is, but II is ex-
pected that it will be definitely set
tied in the cases likely to arise in
connection with the contemplated
raise in intrastate rates.
The three members of State pub
lie utility commissions who sat
with the Federal Commission while
the latter fixed the new railroad
rates. made a general recommended
tion to all States that they increase
their rates to correspond with the
increases granted by the Interstate
Commerce Commission

Ponzi denied the right of Attor-
ney General Allen to audit his &C
counts after the Federal author
tiles have finished. He said he
thought a second audit would be
untlmely and unnecessary.
Joseph Daniels, who has asked
the courts to declare him a partner
Of Ponzi. and as such entitled to
T,0O0,000, informed Judge Sisk,
through his counsel, that he did not
care to take any further action al
this time against companies in
which it is said Ponzi a stock
holder.
Doubt that Charles Ponzi. Bos-
tons so-Called financial wizard
could have made $7,O0O,0O0 in trad
ing in international stamps was
expressed yesterday by Vincenzo di
Girolamo, chancellor of the Royal
Embassy of Italy.
1T is my personal opinion" de-
Clared Signor di Girolamo. that Mr.
Ponzi could not have realized such
fabulous sums as have been re-
ported through transactions in i'm
ternational stamps. The interna-
tional reply coupons do not exceed
cents in value and only a few
cents could have been made on each
stamp at the most. Moreover, ex-
change Of stamps between Italy and
the United States was discontinued
last April.
1T is highly probable that Mr..
Ponzi has permitted the officials
and the general public to receive
and credit this impression in order
to conceal the actual character of
his operations.
1T is very unlikely that we shall
conduct anything in the nature of
an investigation through this office
since the Italian government has
made no provision for agents here
to carry on such work"
