THE noble effort of the knights of Column
bus in this worthy cause to alleviate the de-
plorable conditions prevailing in Mexico will
appeal to those who have consecrated them
selves to Christian chivalary
Bishop Murray of Portland.
The provisions that the government now
seeks to enforce, are so repellent, so alien to
our own ideas of the right to worship as we
see fit, the right to own, hold and dispose of
property, and finally the right to free speech,
that further editorial comment seems almost
unnecessarily Louis Post Dispatch)
Mexico and the United States have
reached an impasse. What is branded az
brutality in government, failure to fulfill
agreements, disregard of the rights of
American citizens and failure to grant ade-
quate protection to American lives have
brought the Mexican government face to
face with the most serious diplomatic contro-
versy with the United States since the gov
eminent of General Obregon was granted
recognition in 23."-Chicago Tribune.

WE ARE so apt to think of the
w coat-dress as conveniently tai
lored and of cloth. In the strictest
sense Of the word, this is true, but it
happens this season that fashion Is
not carrying out very many of her
schemes In the "strictest sense" The
trend Is toward a note of dressiness
throughout the newer styles. That ac-
counts for the presence of so many
charming coat-dresses, not always of
cloth but often of a suitable silk
weave, preferably satin or faille, these
showing fetching feminized styling
which employs cunning trimming
treatment.
One of the smartest notes Is the in
PRODUCTION of hemline fullness
achieved by plaitings or circular move
ment. 1t Is noticeable among recent
imports that very fine plating is
favored, such as Is used in the coat
frock in this picture 1t happens that
this particular model is black, but it
might just as well have been in any
of the new shades-say ruby, garnet,
chanel red, jungle green, rust or Gin

How 1t Started
WITHOUT JOT OR TITLE"
By JEAN NEWTON

THE newspapers are telling of the
l. scion of a wealthy and prominent
family who, because Of his marriage,
has been cut off by his father with
out jot or title" The phrase means,
of course, that he has been left abso-
lutely nothing.
A ''tittle," from the Latin 'titulus,"
meaning label, is a distinguishing
mark used over a letter for purposes
of pronunciation, as the little over
the ''n' In canon. 1t is accepted, too,
as meaning particle, anything with
out value or significance.
"Jot," though of different deriva-
ton, has the same significance. Taken
from the Greek "jota," it signifies the
dot over the 81" or any point or
little. It also is used figuratively to
describe. anything Of the slightest
value.
And so the phrase without jot or
title" Is well chosen to describe a
lack of any possessions at all. For
it would be a highly-imaginative per-
son who could think Of something that
means less than without jot or title"

WHEN / WAS
TWENTY-ONE
BY JOSEPH KAYE

AT 21-The Writer of 1.-THE End Of
a Perfect Day" Gave Up Music for
Marriage.
GA t TWENTY-ONE I had been
"A married three years and was
experiencing break in my music
studies, which began when / was
four.
'At that tender age often slipped
away to the plano In the front room
of our house. I used to pick out
the tunes 1 had heard, and what
couldn't remember improvised. When
was nine I could play LISTS
Rhapsody correctly enough for it to
be recognizable But If l heard a
piece once knew it by heart. Later
l had a music teacher for several
years.
"But when, at twenty-five, mar
ried again, my music received a
stimulus DR.. Frank Lewis Bond,
my second husband, took deep and
sympathetic interest In my career and,
under his encouragement and en-
thusiasm, wrote the words and music
of some little songs that were con-
tinually running through my mind.
ST took a few Of these to Chicago
publisher who looked them over and
said no. but he added that he wanted
some children's songs and asked me
If / could do them.
81 could, and l would. By noon
the next day I had composed the
words and music for a little song
which 1 called, IS My Dolly Dead. !?
The publisher accepted 1t, and In an
other ten days 1t was being sung by
Teresa Vaughn In the comic opera
called '1492-Carrie Jacobs Bond"
TODAY-Carrie Jacobs Bond. even
If she does not write anything else,
will go down In musical history as
the writer of "The End of Perfect
Day." a song which has sold five mil
lion copies, and is still selling. The
only song which can compare with 1t
In popularity, in its own field, is
"Silver Threads Among the Cold"
But there was many bitter struggle
before Mrs. Bond achieved her pres
ent fame. Her second husband died
when she was thirty and left her to
support herself and her boy. In the
years that followed she did every
thing to make living, even to rent
Ing out rooms to boarders. At last her
songs began to be noticed, and then
she established a publishing house
with the help Of her son, which is
sued all her songs. This business.
like move doubled Mrs. Bonds profits,
when her songs really became popu-
lar.

satin street dress is the heavy silk

Responding to fashions clarion
call for more feminized styling OF
our apparel, many of the distinctive
coat types for autumn and winter are
clarifying fabric elegance with an

Expressing a note OF elegance are
handsome novelty woolens which show

new fabrics are the sensation of the
season when 1t comes to unusual

Sometimes the demand for dressf-
