i. O.P.LEADER IS
 FOR DISARMAMENT
MOndell Thinks Time Is Ripe for
 World Convention

Philadelphia. May 1i.-''The pres "a wonderful opportunity for con summating an international dis armament agreement" Representa- tive Frank w. Mondell. republican, floor leader in the house, said yes terday in, aR address before the Am erican Academy of Political and So- cial Sciences. Providence has off, fered that opportunity, directly to the United States" he added, as the only nation which can take the initiative without confessing weakness.
 Confidence that every nation would welcome an invitation to join in dis armament and that the agreement could easily he carried out was eX- pressed by the speaker. Unless dis armament was agreed to, he declared, the next conflict might easily cause d large part of the world to resort to barbarisn."
 ''As the condition of the world s affairs affords us this wonderful op- portunity." Mir. MondeH continued, it also lays upon us a great duty and responsibility. As we are the only nation that can logically and without embarrassment propose the limitation of armaments. it becomes our bound en duty to do it and to do it as quickly aa NO may when conditions seem ripe for success. Let us not forget that on the sea at least we wero the only na- tion that pursued great program of expansion after the close of the World war and that it is our great 1916 naval program. still being carried for ward by an army of workmen and at vast expense, that was the primary cause and is the continuing proyoca- tiop of-the competitive, plans and pur- poses of other nations.
 We must mt judge of the prob ability .of-the fulfilln1ent of voluntary obligations such as are proposed by the. worlds experience with treaties. which in the main have been the harsh terms eXacted of a- defeated people.
 The world will in my opinion. agree to a limitation of competition in arRla Hn ent -eeeause-t the world must know that therein lies the only hope Of solvency and rehabilitation.
 All history teaches that recent history has proven conciusively that a nation possessing a great fighting machine win develop an inclination to use it; that with the growth and maintenance of such an establishment there is developed pride. a jealousy and a false philosophy which urges and justifies it's use"
 The great war gave us its shocking object lessons of the staggering cost, the appalling frightfulness of modern war and every day brings us some new illustration of the fact that wars of the future arc likely to he immeas- urably mora frightful and costly"

LAWYERS. DISCUSS
 NEW COURT POWER
Proposed Amendment Giving Final Judgment to SI00 Limitation Plan Meets With Favor.

The proposed amendment in the city charter, now pending in. the legislature. by which the local court, civil side. win be made into a court of record and so give final judgment in all eases with the exception of an appeal filed on n question of law. was discussed by sev- ernl prominent lawyers yesterday. fol- lowing the weekly session of the city court. The change is to the effect that no one can make an appeal from the judgment of the city court actions where the judgment is for $1O0 or less except on the question of law. The majority Of the lawyers favored the change and the sentiment appeared to accept the $1O0 limitation plan and the change will be made accordingly.
 This amendment was the idea of Att torncy William NJ. Greenstein and the draft was introduced in the legislature by Representative Arthur N. Ruther- ford.
 After two years of this amendment. if 1t is found that the $1O0 limit should be removed. it is probable that another one will be prepared. All lawyers will be interviewed on the project before the proposed change is made.

The Mans Side of Married Lii

/ got home that evening just as
Dot and her parents were sitting
down to supper.
My wife greeted me with surprise.
How did you manage to get back so
quickly"
Edith was able to start the car
soon after you and George left"
How lucky!'
1T would have been luckier if she
had been able to get it going a few
minutes sooner and we could all
have come home together"
II agree with you" my mother-in-
law put in quickly. Il told Dorothy
that l thought it was a queer ar
rangement. Now, when L was your
age"
Yes, mother, you and I have dis
cussed just hat point" Dot fastened
to say, and her manner was gentler
than her words.
But 1 must say that I can't UNI
derstand you young people at ALL
her mother continued. refusing to be
turned aside.
when | was your age we didn't
have automobiles. of course, and we
were lucky if we could go buggy
riding once in a while, though good
ness knows there was no place to
ride except out to the springs or the
asylum and who wanted to see a lot
Of crazy people?
what was l saying? Oh, about
your carrying-ons. When l was
your age a man and his wife went
together, and if she came home he
came back with her-he didn't stay
behind with another woman and let
a strange man bring his wife home"
But George isn't a strange man"
insisted Dot.
"Well, he's strange to me- And
from my mother-in-law's manner l
knew she regarded that as the last
word on the subject.
] felt this was a good time to give
Dot at least a suggestion of what
was in my mind.
II think there's a great deal in
what your mother says" / told her.
"Or course, we know Edith and
George very we'll. but we are better
friends with each other than we are
with them. and l do think we should
keep together when we can.
"Of course, l understand that you
suggested Georges going back with
you only because the poor fellow had
a cough, and it was thoughtful of
you to be so considerate. Still, an
other time"
l stopped because I could not
fathom the expression on Dots face.
Then 1 began to comprehend as she
burst into an amazing fit of laugh
ter.
Goodness sake, Dorothy, what's
come over you?" the older woman
asked.
; But Dot could not control herself.
She laughed until for sheer relief
she had to sob a little and then, as l
thought she was about to calm down,
she went. into historical laughter
again.
"I-I-I do believe" she spoke
with difficulty, that you're jealous
of George!"
Edith, earlier in the day. had
laughed at me when l was most seri-

mighty hard to make her under

Win said.

You may call me Aunt Harriet, >
she said ~graciously. She was pleased
that he made no attempt to be on a
familiar footing with her until She
gave permission.

answered.
and now Aunt Harriet began
with a business-like air. I'VE might

That's all right, if he needs

Win amused.
In n stroke, he had obtained
everything he wanted. No wonder
he was pleased.
And so it was finally settled. Win
throp and l spent two weeks in my
little house in WeIlsville. two weeks
of the most perfect happiness / had
ever known. Then we went to the
city.
But meantime l had two weeks to
do just as l wanted. l got up when
the morning was fresh and cool and
worked in my little garden in one OF
my voluminous cretonne aprons,
made biscuits for luncheon and
sandwiches for my afternoon tea
parties. Ella and Margery and Ted
and Bill and the Ames and Mother
Taylor and all the rest of them
came around my tea table, and in
the evening we had tiny informal
dinners, or a few of us sat about
and played cards.
And best of all were the evenings
when we were left to ourselves
Then we sat out in the wicker chairs
under the stars. and Win smoked
and I leaned back in the corner Of
| tIle IdlIiiiiOShs
And the evening air was cool ant
| fragrant. 1t was late in August then
it would be nearly September by the
time we were in the city. Win wa!
full of his new plans. Mrs. Taylor
wa. sometimes pleased about it anC
sometimes lugubrious.
"She wouldn't let me 60" Wiz
told me once. except for the fac
that l married you. She says yol
have such a sensible head on youl
shoulders that you'll be able tt
handle the money part of my affairs
whereas l never could. She's right
too, I have no sense of money.
always spend everything l have and
never seem to get anything fer it
But since you'll be along to look
after me, Mother seems to think il
will be all right"
ITS so nice to have you to take
care Of" I answered. And Win came
over and kissed me.
And incest of all were the even.
ings when we did not even talk, but
sat quietly, sometimes hand in hand
while I leaned back looking up al
the stars or the black shadows and
the silvery patches of moonlight un.
der the trees. 1t was such a won.
derful world. and so glorious to be-
in love! / was so happy. Would
be as happy as this in the city?
All the way in to New York l KEEP
wondering this.
