Dear Miss Fairfax:
II have been keeping steady

luxury I am accustomed to.
''He has his own business, and

he Is very much In love with me.
So can't see why I shouldn't sac

THE CHILD IN MOVIES
Uniform Legislation Governing Chil- dren On Stage and Screen Needed, Humane Workers Hear.

Toronto, Oct 9.-The need for uniform legislation for the stage and movie child was emphasized here by Jeannie V. Miner at the forty-eighth annual convention of the American Humane association.
 "Only four North American states have as yet no legal protection for stage children" said the speaker. "On the other hand it is 49 years since the childrens' society secured the first protective measure for New York's children in 1878. Eng land followed three years later.
 The course of legislation has run almost parallel in the two countries and because every inch of progress has been more or less successfully fought by theatrical interests, aid- cd and abetted by an indifferent public. we are here today to dis cuss what can be done to promote better and more uniform legislation in, behalf of these sadly exploited children"

 Until the signatures will be placed upon the document, no details of 1t will be made public. It is learned that the political crisis in Great Brisain will not affect the negotia- tions in the slightest degree.
 "A new government does not mean there will be any less money in Great Britain" 1t was remarked in the city. Besides, if financial conferences were affected by every change in government in Europe, they would never get anywhere"

 men to Be MasnanimOus

Chicago, Oct, s.--Edgar H. Ban- croft, recently appointed ambassador to Japan, in an address to the Chi cago association of commerce, urged business men to take the lead in building in America "a generous. large minded understanding of our neighbors across the Pacific" He lauded President Coolidge's re- cent assertion that the truly Ameri- can foreign policyAmight be express ed in a single word, magnanimity.
 Out greatness, our power, our in- huence in the world compel us to be generous and considerate to all na- tions." Mr. Bancroft said. "Our friends can hurt our feelings more than anyone else. But disagreement does not divide true friends and they shall not. Mutual respect, mu- tual admiration and friendship are bonds that hold. Mutual forbear- ance and a generous spirit will heal all wounds.
 The feelings of Japan have been hurt, The nation and its people have been for many years our warm friends and we are theirs. Their feelings are hurt not so much by what we have done as by the man. her in which it was done. Yet we know that the government and peo- pie of the United States still hold their respect and admiration and friendship for Japan undiminished that we wish to be and intend to be a good neighbor to that strong, fine progressive leader of the Orient, our nearest neighbor on the west.
 With that conviction and with that purpose I have accepted the mission to the land of natural and artistic beauty to the nation of strength and progress, to the people of energy and enterprise of courtesy and great friendliness.

New Hedjaz King
 Also UnpOpuIar

London, Oct. 9.-The correspond ent of the Daily Chronicle at Port Sudan telegraphs that the latest news from Mecca makes it fairly clear that the Emir All is not going to be more popular than his father as king of the Hedjaz. and that 1bn Saud, leader of the Wahabi tribes men, will continue his pressure on Mecca until All follows Hussein into retirement.
 It is not probable. however, the correspondent reports, that Ibn Saud will attempt to occupy the Holy City of Mecca, believing such step would arouse strong forces within a few miles of the city enables him to cause the siturtio to develop in ac- cordance with his wishes.
 Ibn Saud's immediate object is to secure the banishment of the whole Haskimite family. It Is declared, and nothing is likely to result from Ais hope of starting negotiations.

Episcopal Convention Choosing sev- eral Today-Will Not Appoint One To Mexico At This Time. 4

New York, Oct. s.-Election of bishops for northern Texas and Me- vada and of a suffragan bishop for Hankow, China, will today occupy the attention of the house of bishops of the Protestant Episcopal church in session here.
 Next in importance will be the joint meeting or the bishops with the national council of the church to discuss financial and other af- fairs for the coming three years.
 With ninety bishops from all parts of the country in attendance, the house yesterday voted, 43 10 42, against g proposal to elect a new missionary bishop of Mexico at this time.
 Bishop George Kinsolving at Tex as declared that as the Mexican con- stitution prohibits the propagation of faith by foreigners, election of a bishop would place the Episcopal church in the business of ecclesiasti- cal bootlegging across the Mexican border" He recommended that the election be deferred until the next meeting of the house at the general conference of the church at New Or leans next year.

 When Attorney General Patrick Hastings, whose conduct of the Campbell sedition case furnished the immediate cause for the liberal at tack on the labor government which resulted in Prime Minister MacDon- aids reverse last night, arrived at the conference this forenoon, the delegates arose en masse, chered for several minutes and sang "The Red Flag" with wholehearted lustiness.
