Two-Branch Legislatures in the States Have
Been Very Unsatisfactory.
By SENATOR G. W NORRIS in New York Times.

When our forefathers adopted the Constitution
of the United States they provided that the egis-
lative function of government should be composed.
of house Of representatives and senate. The
federal government in this respect accepted
model and was followed by all of the states of the
Union. The experience of more than one hundred
years has demonstrated that the two-branch egis-
lature at least far the various states
cerned, has been very unsatisfactory in its results
One Of the fundamental requisites that should always

Remote as doonsday, the pros

Washington scientists who have

Just what is going on in the

by picturing a vast chasm adjacent

Washington Immune
GeologicaIly eastern America, with
Washington as a center, is almost
immune from such action. On the
Pacific coast, however, it is said, a
tendency exists for the rocky stra-
tas Of the upper earth crusts to slip
westward into the ocean. The move

Of a major character.
The Importance Of understanding
the character OF these disturbances
is understood by the Chilian gov

Of Stafford University, California,
reached Washington yesterday after
spending ten months in Chill study
ing the phenomena. He was COM
missioned by the Chilian government
to make the investigation and SUD-
NIT a report indicating the type Of
structures and engineering devices
best adapted to safeguard property
and life in that country against

Should the adversaries be left with the high trump lead and get 1t if you are already es- tablished in a side suit; if not, leave them with the high trump, establish your suit and then force them to trump. There are times when you do not exhaust trumps immediately. See If there Is some finesse neces- sary right then. See if you can trump the card that Is dead In your hand with one of the dummy's trumps. There are some hands when it Is more advantageous not to lead trumps, but to play the whole hand cross-ruffing short suits.

When a mo- trump is played, second In hand leads and you take the trick, suit you can establish in one lead. as 1t is almost impossible against a no trump declaration to accomplish the establishment of two suits.

THE DOUBTFUL AGE

Every young man and young woman passes through that doubt full age" when they feel that love will pass them by and they will re- main single all their lives. But be- ware of the doubtful age, for 1t all ways comes just before the real love affair.""
 The very fact that a young man or young woman Is free and not in terested in any particular member of the opposite sex opens the door to romance. And one never knows just when that door will be opened.
 Sometimes young man has gone about with several girls. but never cared enough for any of them to pop the vital question. One by one he hears that these girls have married, and a lonely feeling comes over him. he make a mistake in letting Dolly or Fanny pass out of his life? To all appearances he will be a bachelor.
 Then he will be invited to dance, a party or a social and the girl of his dreams appears. Then presto with the doubtful age, for he knows from that evening on that he will be a benedict before the season ends.
 And so just as a girl ponders over her love affairs of bygone days and wonders If she did right in eliminat- Ing Harry or Tom she suddenly meets the real hero of her life. Tfs average girl at IS has several beaux That is the age when flowers, candy and theatre tickets arrive In relays From IS to 25 she may take her pick" But the fact of the matter is she doesn't always want to marry just then"
 As time goes Cn the chaps she ignored marry other girls. New ac- quaintances do not "fall' for her as they did when she was younger. Then, too, the men she meets later
