The WomaR's Exchange
A Clever Idea

To thc Editor Of Womon's rdoe:
Dear Maeam-Having several wooden
curtain poles that were used some years
ago to hang lace curtains on, and being
in need Of clotheetrees, I conceived tho
idea Of making use OF the same by Ak
'n; a stout block Of wood to the base
Of tho pole. in order to make It stand
erect, and fastening one-half dozen
brass hooks. which are sold at q rea-
sonable price for this purpose. in their
accustomed places
Thus, I made some very substantial
clothestrees, which are very handy at
the shore. where closet space Is scarce.

clever idea I am sure that the readers
will profit by your ingenuity.

MAYBE THE REMEDY WOULD BE
 FEWER JUDGES

Strong pleas are now being made for the appointment of additional federal judges be- cause of congestion of business in the courts This congestion undoubtedly exists and addi- tional judges may be necessary, but inspec- ton of table published in the December 9th issue of the Congressional Record, proves that 1t might be well to engage a few efficiency experts to look into the question of the com parative diligence and efficiency of judges.
 The state of Indiana, with population of nearly three millions has one United States District court, and S98 cases pending. Ken lucky with a population of approximately two and a third millions, has two District courts, and 2,27o cases pending. Arkansas, with a population of one and wo-thirds millions, has two District courts and 1,204 cases pending. Texas, with a population of four and three quarters millions, in round figures, has four District courts and 3,S46 cases pending. Ala hama, with a population of two and third millions, has three District courts and 5585 cases pending. Illinois has three District courts The first of these districts has a popu- lation of three and fourfifths millions, and g. 532 cases pending, while the other two Dis tricts courts in Illinois, with a total popula- ton less than that of the single Indiana dis trict, have near three times as many cases pending undisposed of in the Indiana District court.
 The rule seems to be that the more courts the goverSment creates, the more difficult it is to dispose of the litigation. The remedy might be found in reducing the number of judges.

NEED OF GO-BETWEEN
berry case

One of the crying needs of the mining indus try is some medium through which the pros pector may be brought into touch with de velopnent of capital through aid in doing the initial work necessary to place a prospect ln shape for inspection by an engineer and de termination of it's possible value This gap is the most serious impeachment to rapid mine promotion and the man organization that supplies the need will have done much to hasten a era of prosperity.
 4 prospector locates a claim showing appre- cabe values, but lacks the funds with which to execute workings that will give some gauge of the extent of his find. Until this is done he has an uphill road unless his discovery IS one of the exceptions in mining. It would be possible for an organization to step in at this stage of the proceedings, supply the funds for few feet of work and then place the property on the market for purchase by operators or leasing.
 Through the above method both the or garzation and the prospector would profit and the possibility of bad deals whereby the prospector suffers loss would be obviated.
 Engineers will not visit mere surface crop pings unless they are exceptional, and in the latter case two clements enter in-large bodies of lew grade ore or exceptionally rich veins. In the case of the latter the prospector can sufficient work to enable sale on ore in sight This is the gap that must be bridged. -Ex. .~...>,.s+

HOW MUCH PUBLICITY CONSTITUTES
 CORRUPTION?

The New York Evening Post says: "No man can enter the Senate now with the record of having benefited by the expenditure of $1OO,- 900 or $2OO0OO in his campaign and wear an unspotted toga.'
 In the recent mayoralty campaign in New York City the New York Evening Post and other New York daily papers burned up an amount of space in behalf of the fusion can didate that at commercial rates it would have cost at least a million dollars to buy. The argument of the Post is that if the powerful newspapers of a given city or state combine against a candidate, matter what their motives, and use million dollars worth of space against him, it is criminal for the op- posing candidate to spend hundred thousand or two hundred thousand dollars buying ad vertisng space to counteract such an attack That plea is selfish and hypocritical, from the newspaper viewpoint.
 The limitation of legitimate campaign ex penditures for publicity without limitation of the right of newspapers to go as far as they like in advertising or attacking candidate is intended to bring about newspaper govern ment. It would not be corrupt for a candidate to buy the newspapers and use their columns in his behalf, but it would be corrupt for the opposing candidate to hire space adequate to overcome the handicap thus imposed upon him.
 The snivellings of Uriah Heep command re- spect for their manliness compared with such argument as this, which has figured so large ly in the cant that has been uttered by holier- than-thou editors and politicians in the New berry case.

WHY FINANCE MIR. FORD?

Henry Ford claims to be the richest man in the world and is said to have one hundred and fifty million dollars in bank. If he has the faith he claims in his ability to make the Muscle Shoals project profitable to the coun- try and to himself he would not ask Con- gress to appropriate an uncertain number of millions of dollars to complete the work of construction, but would do the job himself There would then be no necessity of the com plicated scheme of compensation under which the only sure thing about the whole matter is that the people of this country are going to be asked to put few dozen more millions into business enterprise MT. Ford is to operate. The people of this. country are growing weary of pouring money down rat holes on the mere assurance of. government beneficiaries that "there's millions in it,'--for somebody.
