ALL IN THE DAYS WORK.

The whole country is rejoicing over the recent he
roic action of one of Will Hays mail clerks who did
cot throw up his hands and turn over the mail treas
ure under his charge at the command of a bandit; but
on the contrary landed a good right handler on the
Jaw Of the would-be robber and hog-tied him ut his
leisure. The story is being told over the east at pres
ent and out there they regard it as wonderful. 1t is
dlsked up in a thousand styles. Here is the New York

pEcLININc

DR.. Eliot says that the American people are facing
no greater danger than the decline of the legal profess
sion. To regard law as the means for making a large
income is very dangerous. The law fee should be
based on the riskiness Of the case not on the income
of the client.
That is alright as far as the lawyers go; but what
has he to say about the physicians and surgeons among
whom the same practice obtains, and the great Mayo
institution at Rochester, Minnesota, where the fee for
services rendered is based entirely upon the wealth
of the patient. The rich paying for the poor who can
not pay because they possess nothing?
According to DR.. Eliot two of the noblest profess
sions are headed for the eternal bow-wows.

R AN EPOCH.

N.ysr IN the history of the United States, probably
never in the history of the world, has there peer pro
nosed a plan of such great Importance that met with
sueh universal approval as the suggestions supmitteo
BY President Harding and Secretary hughes TO tne
Washington conference. Not only from the press Z
this country, without regard to politics, ana from .he
people Of this country, also without regard to politics,
but from the representatives and the press and the
people Of other countries there has come the warmest
communication of the proposals which have been MADE
for the relief of the world from the great burden OF
military preparedness
1t is at once apparent from a mere glance at the
plan for discontinuance of construction and the scrap
ping of ships already constructed or under construc-
ton, that it is proposed for the United States a pro-
gram of reduction Of armament far more drastic than
that which is suggested for other leading nations.
This in itself is the most tangible and substantial evil
dence of our good faith. 1t is a manifestation not
only Of our confidence in the practicaBility Of main
tanning national safety without continuing our CON-
petition in armament, but it Is an expression Of con-
hdence that all of the other nations have come to the
conference inspired by the same desire that we en-
terrain for limitation of ornaments and reduction of
military expenditures. The United States offers to
meet the other nations more than half way in full con-
hdence that they will receive our advances in the
brotherly spirit in which they are offered.
One OF the admirable features of the American pro-
posals is that they are definite and certain. Being
specific as to what it is proposed each nation shall do,
a basis is formed for discussion. This will immense
iy hasten the proceedings and afford an opportunity
for intelligent consideration in each of the countrie,
interested as well as in the councils Of the delegations
at Washington, and admit Of q speedy conclusion OF
the conference.
Secretary Hughes selection Of the expression 'Ths
cards are on the table, was a happy one. It Is ths
nearest approach to "open diplomacy the world ha,
ever seen. It undoubtedly marks the beginning of
new era in International relationships when ute,
frankness will be universally observed and interna.
tionsl interests will be openly considered with the full
kpowledre of the people to be affected thereby,
There was in the beginning a feeling that the CON
ference would not accomplish very much. The manner
of begnning snd the progress made since has dis
PEELED all such thoughts. The highest homes are en-,
tertained Of an eminently successful outcome.

In SO cities of the United States having a popula-

against 77,925 in 1919.
In 1917 the arrests for drunkenness in New York
were 14,1s2; in 1920 the number had dropped to
5,813.
Louisville, KY, reports 1924 arrests for drunken
ness for the fiscal year ended June 80, 1919, and only
a12 arrests for the same cause for the year ended
June 80, 1919.
The number of cases of intoxication In Cincinnati
decreased from 1,47o in 1918 to 335 in 1920.

One of the most disagreeable features a banker has
to contend with in his business is the troublesome
overdraft of the customer. The practice of issuing
checks against funds which do not exist is a bad prac.

prove but they not only frown upon the overdrsft bu.

EASTER DISPLAY
OF GENEST HATS

At the attractive little millinery
shop conducted by Marion Caret
Genest, there was an opening of Eas-
ter hats, Wednesday. A new hat at
Easter is part of nearly every ward
robe of the members of the gentler
sex. The hats shown at the GeneSt
store are of varied style and would
seem to suit everyone. To the
woman who looks well in the mode
that carries a dropping fancy at the
right side of the shoulder, a sub
stantial substitute for daily wear as
shown is made of self-toned ribbon,
handsome in texture and knotted
with double loops to extend down af-
ter the fashion of the becoming
feather.
Brim facings are surprisingly pref
ty. This permits the use of rich.
embroidered textiles, some of two
toned taffetas. some of lace and many
of fiat flowers. Dimensions and
shapes of all sorts are correct for the
spring wear.
Flowers which trim the Genest
hats come in swiss. rubber. silk,
gauze, straw. feather, celluloid, crys-
tai, jet and goodness knows what
else.
The new wells are fastened with
wee bouquets of small. perfect flow
ers. Similar nosegays adorn the coat
lapel and also the corsage If the cos
tune be a dress.
