 GTON.-Physicical one of the frailest of the notables at the conference on limitation of arma- ment, Aristide Briand is nevertheless one of the dominating personalities.
 There is a fire and magnetism about the man that inescapably marks him as one of the controlling nerve centers. Although he speaks only in French, he holds the interest of his whole audience.
 His dark bushy hair and mus tache; his short, slightly stopped fig ure; his big, black cigar. are much the same as those you will see on

"Chndren's books for grown ups"
 This characterization of the chil- dren's books this year is the apt de- scription of Russell Freeman, in charge of one of the largest book de- partments in the Southwest, of the output of juveniles for the present Christmas season. In everything that kgoes to make up books this years publications represent the best in every phase of the art. No word pie ture can present them adequately to the reader-they must be seen to be appreciated.
 Chief among their beauties, and marking a new standard in this class of work, are the illustrations and art work In dozen different cole ctiocs by as many publishing houses thI1 characteristic stands out so promin- ently that it may be said truthfully that the books are too pretty to be handled. Colored frontispieces which represent the best in this line of artistry; black and white drawI igs which are as striking and finished as appear in the most important of the big books of the year; Vignettes and decorations which really serv3 to ac- centuate the words which they en- close-these alone attract the book lover. even if he is not intrigued pleasantly by the quality of the mat ter the new books contain.
 Leading the new juveniles in beauty of paper, type, illustration and worth of reading matter are perhaps the Rhead series of illustrated juveniles
 as issued by Harper and Brothers.
 This series is a uniform one, with un- usually good bindings, strong paper, and clear type Each volume has an art frontispiece in colors which is worth the price of the volume, and through them all run the famous black -and-white drawings of Rhead, whose illustrations for juveniles have made him famous throughout the English speaking world. The subjects represent the best in the worlds liter ature, written down. where this | necessary, to a children's standard which, even if its a standard for those under IS, is a higher standard than finds in the general run of books | for men and women.
 A glance at the titles is sufficient ! to arouse the curiosity and prove the l foregoing description of them: Arab ] ian Nights" "Grimm's Fairy Tales, | "Gulliver's Travels" Hans Ander- sons Fairy Tales" Robin Hood. Robinson Crusoe,' Swiss Family l Robinson" Lambs Tales from ] Shakespeare, rom BrOWne ScnOOl l Days" Treasure Island, "Kidnap- ped" and a dozen others which make l selection of a single volume a real difficulty.
 As beautiful as these in typography ' and perhaps excelling them in the 1 character of the art work lavished
 upon them. are the so-called Volland
 books. It is no exaggeration to say the illustrations In this series, begin 1 ming with the books for the tiniest

We have lost so much money and
the accounts are of so much trouble
and the difficulty of collection is so
great, that hereafter cash must ac-
company all legal notices for inser-
tion in the Times.
Attorneys claim they are not re-
sponsible for the accounts when
their clients do not pay them and so
we frequently lose the money.
Hereafter attorneys must require
clients to deposit sufficient funds to
cover the cost of publication before
we will insert legal notices.
We have probably $4,000 worth
of legal notice accounts on our books
