HUGHES SEES NEED

NEW YORK. April 2S.-More judges.
increased efficiency on the bench and
an Improvement. in legal procedure
are needed to promote justice, Charles
Evans Hughes, former Secretary of
State, and president of the American
Bar Association, said last night at
closed meeting of the executive com
mittee of the association.
Mr.. Hughes also stated that the
American Bar Association is opposed
to the curtailment of the powers of
Federal judges to instruct juries, a
step recently discussed in Congress.
We want an adequate supply of
Judges Mr.. Hughes said. We need
at this time in the city of New York
three new Federal district judges.
There ought to be in New York a
concerted effort TO make il clear to
the Congress at the next session that
we need three more judges in New
York"
Refers to Mystery Killings.
Illustrating the need for greater
efficiency on the bench, Mr.. Hughes
referred TO recently published sta
tistics showing an increase in un-
solved murders in New York. I'VE
need to reinforce all our processes, !"
he said, and one of the greatest
reinforcements is in looking to the
judge to go directly to the business
at hand, and while allowing every
lawyer his rights, and respecting the
right of the jury to pass upon the
facts, insist that there shall be To
delay, no treatment of a criminal

Pope Is Good Landlord;
 Rents Are Never Rasied

ROME, Jan. 7.-Pope Plus XI is a landlord and, by all standards of good landlords, is perfect one. He never raises the rent.
 Italian rents have quintrupled and sextupled during the past years. Tenants occupying any of the build ings under the administration of the Holy See, however, have suffered nothing from rent increase. They pay the same rent as before tthe war. The sums are nominal when com pared to present-day prices.
 There are tenants occupying small apartments who pay as low as two or three dollars a month. For the same places today, judging by other prices on the market, they would pay twenty or thirty dollars a month. Nevertheless, they continue unaffected either by the deflation of Italian currency or by the general rise in prices prevalent all over the world.
 Recently, the great and historic palace of Propaganda Eide was sold. Tenants had occupied this palace for decades. A number of stores also were rented. The new landlords as the first act of taking possession in- creased the rent five to six times what it had been. In other palaces divided into living apartments under the Jurisdiction of the prelates, the rent continues on the old basis, but the poor tenants who suffer a change of landlords enjoy no more the benefits of papal beneficence.
 The tenants of Propaganda Eide are faced with a serious problem. They have lived for years on meager incomes, but forced to seek houses on the open market find themselves unable to cope with the rent prob lem. The storekeepers of the palace also consider going out of business.
 Italian rents had been kept at the pre-war level for four years after the war. The government prevented any raising of rents by law. Under the Mussolini administration, de cree was passed restoring open prices on rents and tenants forth with had their rents raised, but papal tenants continue to enjoy papal beneficence.

UNIVERSE IS 100
 BILLION YEARS OF
 AGE, SAYS SAVANT

LONDON, Jan. 8.-This old uni verse of ours is a hundred thousand times older than anybody has so far ever believed it to be, says Dr. Jas. Hopwood Jeans, secretary of the Roy. al Astro .mical soc'eiy.
 Dr. Jean; has ic.. concluded !n. vestigations which indicate that the sun, for instance, Is by no means the youngster most people think. It has taken the sun a hundred billion years to evolve from it's hottest and whitest stage to it's present form, according to this scientist, and not a thousand millions years as has been hitherto believed.
 He is convinced that the produc- tion of the solra system involved the close approach of the sun and "ano- ther star"-an occurrence not likely to take place more than once in about thousand million years. For that reason, he says, the solar sys- tenn known to Earth's inhibitants is almost unique, if not absolutely so.
 Dr. Jeans is also inclined to be- lieve that at least one in every ten stars is itself a sun at the center ot a system of planets.

Japan Gets Luxuries
 But Pays Big Taxes

TOXIC, Japan, Jan. 8-The en- forcement of the so-called luxury tar if bill in Japan since July 31 ap- parently is not having the desired ef- feet of encouraging thrift and econ omy, as the originally intended by the lawmakers.
 The government has been making every effort to encourage these qual- ities in the Japanese people since that time, but the public seems to be talk ing an indifferent attitude toward this national policy.
 The importation of goods specified as luxuries is increasing each month The tax is a 100 per cent uniform tariff on items declared to be lux uries.
 During October the customs at Yokohama, chief port in Japan, ob- tained nearly $150,O00 on this tax alone. This compared with other months before the tax was put on shows that the volume of goods is virtually unchanged, or, if anything. slightly increased in the last few months
 The government hopes that con- sumption of ''luxuries" throughout Japan would be curtaiIed seems to be in vain, and the futility of the law in this regard, at least, is gradually being realized.
 While it had been rumored the next diet might revise the bill, it is understood by officials at the for eign office that no change is con- templated

FEMININE NOVELISTS
 ARE PRODUCING OVER
 HALF OF BEST BOOKS

Women novelists have risen with in the past two decades from a position of no importance to the prolific output of more than half of the substantially good works de- clares H. L. Pangborn in the Decem- Der International Book Review.
 Some years ago at a gathering in an authors club" states Mir. Pangborn, "the quotation of solemn reference to those eminently femin- ie pursuits-art and literature near ly caused fit.
 Tn fact, in 1900 we were not so far from the time when Gilbert was justified in adding the "lady novelist to the catalogue of those who never would be missed,' but the last two or three decades have changed that, and fair appraisal of British and American fiction this century would rather show more than half of the O0OStcAtAdAy 6OOO lO Oc Ludl LII WO- men.
 There is also a great gain here beyond that of quantity and variety, for perhaps the most valuable quality in the best novels by wo- men is precisely the feminine way of looking at life. The woman's way of looking at life is, indubitably, as important as the mans, but it is only within dur own ear that it has begun to find any adequate room.
 ''There is, of course, as much variety among different women in their approach to any given problem as there is among men; but there remains a fundamental element in common; more markedly so than the corresponding masculine fixed among men. Not to either is 1t ever given to see the whole of life, save, per- haps to a Shakespeareor-at an, in- terval of two thousand years-a Eu-
