Stoop Is Cause ' *4A
 of Old Age Says Doctor

PORTSMOUTH, Aug. 51-Dr. Peter Macdonald startled the British Medi cal Association conference here by stating that a stoop of the shoulders causes old age-a direct inversion ol the popular theory.
 He said that by following the ad vice of layman he threw a score of years from his shoulders.
 T was feeling old and decrepit.' : explained Dr. Macdonald. "When picked up a book. published by this layman, from a bookstall. was then a prematurely aged man.
 q saw the author. and he told me that I was old simply because stopped Under the treatment he aid down threw eff my stoop, and a few weeks I became a different man"
 Dr. Macdonald is an upright, spruce looking man, with an eyeglass and when he stretched himself to his full height and carefully adjusted his monocle he looked barely thirty years of age.
 "We doctors" he said. "are too pre- iudiced against laymen who make a study of a certain subject, and often learn more than we do, despite all our knowledge of medicine and surgery.
 We have accepted the idsa that the stoop of the shoulders and the bend of the neck are inevitably link ed up with old age.
 q know it will sound unorthodox to you all to suggest that old age is brought on by this stoop of the shoulders. but 1 have been convinced that it is so; the stance of the body seems to be bound up with the period one can live, and If every man would hold himself upright he would live many years longer"

AMERICAN BAR SHOULD WATCH
 LEGISLATURES
Attention Is Called to Alp. palling Number of Bills
 that Become Laws.

MINNEAPOLIS. Aug. S1. AA The American Bar should give attention to the appalling number of bills which become laws during legisla- tive sessions the committee on noteworthy changes in statute law reported to the American Bar Asso- citation today. The report was pre- sented by Joseph P. Chamberlain, chairman of the committee, who said
 Many of these acts should never be brought before the legislatures, but should be settled by the admin istrative departments interested, or submitted to some form of court of claims and finally passed there. The act passed at the last session of Congress permitting the adjust mcnts of certain classes of claims against the United States founded on tort, is a step in the direction of reducing the number of private bills introduced in Congress.
 Home Rule Principle.
 An extension of the principle of home rule would avoid much special and local legislation. but it will lave to be accompanied by a will ingness of the local authorities to accept responsibility. More courage on tho part of the legislature in re- fusing to assume the duty which properly rests on the local authority, and more courage on the part of the local authority in taking re-

MILLERAND AND
POINCARE At ODDS
OVER PREPARATIONS
Presidents Messenger to
Farley in Conference
With Premier,

~ Jutted EFes8
PARIS, April Luis Loucheur,
former minister for the liberated re-
sions, who has just returned from
a mission to England, had q long
conferences today with Premier Poin-
care.
This was considered especially sig
nifcant in view Of the report that
President Nillerand sent Loucheur TO
London TO secure British support for
more moderate program toward
Germany. to be followed by creation
Of a new ministry supplanting Poin-
cares.
After the conference Poincare de-
clared that Loucheur had simply
given him his impression of the trip.
LOuCheur's encourage denied that he
brought back British suggestions for
a moderation of French policy.
It is an open secret that NIillerand
and Poincare are VeIy far apart with
regard to what should be done to
straighten out the reparat1ons tangle.
The former. through private con-
ferences with w0uld-be minister's. Is
trying to find a combination to re
place the Poincare cabinet and renew
the Franco British entente. Millerand,
it Is believed, wants to get down to
cases or reparadOns while there is
sdll time to endeavor to retire grace
fully and gradually from the Ruhr.
POincare IS stin very angry at
Loucheur's apparent usurpauon Of
his role. He had a lengthy exchange
of views with the French ambassador
at LcndOn concerning the possible ef-
feet OF the visit Of this private citizen
acting as the representative Of the
French president.
Meanwhile. the official pres IS re-
iterating that France must remain in
the Ruhr and that the reparations
bill must not be reduced.
