TEMPTED TO SPECULATE IN
MARKS.

r. A. K.-By exercising strict
economy my wife and I have &C
cumulated $1,000. We have $3.50
invested In U. 8. Victory bonds and
the balance Is in a savings bank.
We had planned to buy q little
home, but inflated values of real
estate makes 1t impossible for the
time being. We have noticed an
advertisement of bank to the
effect that an investment in German
marks would return 100 per cent in
six months. and naturally this ap-
peals to us, but before investing we
want your advice. If we could
make 100 per cent in six months
and then repeat the performance
two or three times we would soon
have money enough to pay for a
house and a lot and get 1t free and
clear. What do you advise us to
do in this matter?
Answer-You would be extremel,
foolish in risking your money In
hazardous speculation in German

theirs Poor Efficiency.

Economical and efficient operation
OF the railroads OF the country would
be materially hampered by the pro
visions OF the Clayton law. which
prohibit roads from purchasing ma
terial from concerns In which they
have a financial interest. Alfred u.
Thorn, counsel for the Association of
Railway Executives. today told the
Senate Interstate Commerce Commits
sion.
The provision OF the Clayton act to
which Mr.. Thorn referred Is section
ten. the suspension OF which was
vetoed by President Wilson last week.
The act now is effective and the rail-
roads are bound by its provisions.
Mr.. Thorn advocated the passage OF
the Frelinghuysen bill. being consid-
cred by the committee, which amends
the Clayton act provisions to make
them workable according to the rail-
road heads. Mr.. Thorn declared that
the Clayton act made It necessary for
roads to advertise for bids and to
take the lowest bidder. In many
cases the goods obtained from low
bids are far inferior to those which
can be had from comparative bidding.
he observed.
The committee has decided not to
force the passage or the Clayton law
suspension provision over the Pres
ident's veto unless no other means
can be provided during the present
session OF Congress. The Interstate
Commerce Commission members will
be called later to give their opinion
on the proposed bill. introduced by
Senator Frelinghuysen, Representa-
tive OF New Jersey. The commission
has advocated the amendment OF the
Clayton act but Is not ready to SUB
scribe to the entire Frelinghuysen
bill without further inquiry into the
matter.

WOMEN OPPOSE BOYS
 MILITARY TRAINING

CHICAGO. Dec. 2S.-A nation wide campaign against military training for high school boys has been start ed here by the headquarters of the American Federation of Teachers. The first organization to pledge CO., operation with the teachers is The League of Women Voters, of which Mrs. Harriet Treadwell Taylor is president \ close second is the Illinois League of Women Voters whose executive board through it's president, Mrs. Henry w. Cheney, has endorsed the movement
 The Federations opposition to mili- tary training in the public high schools is based upon three argu- ments:
 l. Because not even Germany deemed it advisable to maintain mili- tary training for school boys in time of peace.
 9 Because military training is not an adequate substitute for physi- cal training
 2. Because mlitarism should be discouraged. not encouraged.
 The appeal is being sent to organ- izations throughout the United States

W0MEN'S DEAN HAS
 RIGID PROPRIETY CODE

COLUMBUS. Ohio. Dec. 2S.-When are the morals and ideals of Co-cds above reproach?
 When they do not kiss promiscu- ously do not dress immodestly, do not dance improperly, do not smoke, do not go to betting parties,' do not drink. nor consciously lie or cheat, do nothing they would be ashamed to tell their families. and do not break the rules of any institution.
 At least this is the judgment of Elizabeth Conrad, dean of women, Ohio State University.
 She believes girl undermines her womanliness if she does any of the aforementioned things.
 "In so doing is the girl not forfeit ing the esteem of friends whose ideals are high that she may gain in the field where lower ideals prevail?' Dean Conrad asked
 "Thc question, then. resolves itself into the individuals problem, and, if the girl considers admiration won by doing these things worth admiration lost by SO doing, it becomes the girls own problem"

Thoroughly sobered by economic sed-
atives, the automobile buying public

tion of motor cars. Postwar extrava-

my relation to car of this type. Pos
o.DAJ cO' LUZ Acci CIldt Tue same Kim
ship has given an insight into what
the public has come to demand in
motor cars in the way of performance,
behavior, style and accommodation, It
is this demand that is guiding the new
trend in construction and design, and
in these respects the composite high
grade American automobile seems to
seek the general characteristics fore
cast little more than a year ago BY
the announcement Of the National
SeXtet.
Thus the convictions of National ex-
ecutlves are vindicated by the turn Of
events, and naturally we are fattered.
Also we are pleased with the verdict
OF the public and fair-minded COM
petitors who declare that the National
Sextet of 1921, although in design iden-
tical with that of 1920, is still new
car of more than usual smartness and
proven ability.
National continues to build a car in
the $4,000 class because our tried con-
vlctlons include an appreciation Of
What the $4,000 car buyer seeks.
Frankly we do not believe that the
purchaser of such an automobile is
willing to sacrifice adequate comfort
for extreme economy of operation.
First of ALL the purchaser of a $4,000
car is seeking complete comfort, ut

Speed is the order of the dav ir

Fight Between Two
Physicians Aired
In 100000 Suit
DIR. George Barrie's Action
Against DR.. Percy W. Rob.
erts, Based OH Latter's Let
ter, Brought to Trial

Dr. George Barrie, of Is East Forty-
eighth Street. appeared before Justice
Martin and a jury in the Supreme
Court yesterday as plaintiff in $780,
ooo damage suit against Dr.. Percy w.
Roberts, of 576 Fifth Avenue, who was
major in the Medical Corps of the
army during the war. The basis of the
action is an alleged defamatory letter
which DR.. Barrie says Dr.. Roberts
wrote to- him.
Both men are well-known practition-
ers, DR.. Barrie being an orthop@dic
surgical specialist and DR.. Roberts a
physician and surgeon.
Before the trouble between the two
physicians which has resulted in the
damage suit, they were friends. and
when DR.. Roberts took up his war
duties he turned his practice over to
the man now suing him. The letter
on which DR.. Barrie is sueing said he
mad made charges for his professional
work that were "beyond all reason"
notably IN the cases of Cathleen Van
derbilt and Gray Foster.
DR.. Foster, it is alleged, also CHARGED
the plaintiff with a Succession of in
defensible acts" including "a twisting
of the proposition for the division Of
receipts"
One paragraph, objected to by DR..
Barrie, read: "You recently made a
social CALI on one of my patients in
Washington, the object Of which is SO
apparent that no wise man would have
been guilty of such an indiscretion."
Another portion of the letter from
DR.: Roberts to DR.. Barrie read:
You have failed in the management
OF your finance. You have failed in
your patriotism. When your country
was calling to every man, woman and
child for money to carry on the war,
and nearly every man and woman re-
sponded, you did not buy single Lib
erty bond.
"By your unwillingness to make a
single personal sacrifice to your coun-
try's needs you have failed in your
patriotic duty. You failed in the fine
quality of friendship when put to the
test. If your epitaph were written to-
day the achievements of your life,
which had no selfish motive would be
summed up in one xord--failure."
DR.. Barrie said the statements about
him made by the defendant were false
and known to DR., Roberts to be false.
The trial will be continued to-day.

Miller to Refuse
Pardon Hearings;
Court Ruling Final
Governor, in Case of Con-
demned Mexicans, Asserts
Appeals Tribunal Exists
to Correct Any Mistakes

ALBANY, Jan. Ex-Governor Miller,
after hearing to-day on the applica-
ton for clemency in the case of Au-
gust'n l.. Sanchez and Enrique Garcia
two MeNicans condemned to die in the
electric chair, said he did not intend to
follow the practices established by past
Governors, who were inclined to give
numerous pardon hearings.
To-day's hearing, held at the in
stance of Romano De Negri, Mexican
consul general to New York, was the
first to be given by the Governor, who
took the opportunity to announce the
policy he will follow in handling par
don cases. He said he would carry out
his duties in respect to the considera-
ton OF these cases, but he would not
review them. This function, in the
opinion of the Governor, rests with the
Court of Appeals and ends there.
In this connection the Governor said: (:
"Of course, the Governor in the eX-
crcise of executive clemency should not
undertake to correct mistakes either of
jurors or of the courts. l mean to say
that decisions of questions that are
properly submitted to the jury or to
the court. must be final. The Court of
Appeals exists to review trials and In
murder cases to correct mistakes of
jurors. The Governor cannot review
these cases for the purpose of correct
ing such mistakes. Of course, the
Governor having this responsibility
must examine these cases, but on ques-
tions submitted to jury the Governor
cannot-certainly shall not-exercise
executive clemency because l might
have reached different conclusion.
II cannot exercise executive clem-
cncy simply because of the citizenship
of these defendants. I will consider
the cases further, but am frank to
say to you that have not heard any
thing said here that would give me
ground to exercise executive clemency
in these cases, because proper admin
lstration of the criminal law requires
that when the courts have finished with
case of this kind their decision should
be final, unless there is something that
they have not had the benefit of which
should afford the Governor ground to
exercise his power"
The Governor announced that he
would render a decision in few days.
