REMINGTON NEWS

The matter of building a fire house will be brought up at the next meeting of the town and an appro- priation of $7.O0o will be asked for. This was decided at a recent meet ing of the members of the Newing- ton volunteer fire department. The members expect to do a great deal of work in and around the building and thus cut the appropriation in half. The actual cost of construc- tion would probably be aboue s15.- 900. Plans have been made and, will be explained to the voters at the town meeting.
 The building will be about 2Sx4o feet. It will be of brick. two stories high. providing space on the first floor for two pieces of apparatus and club rooms on the second. It will be, erected on the property of the department north of the post office.
 The matter of having two or three members on full-time duty was dis cussed. This has been brought up before, but it was thought that the needs of the town did not require any full-time men. However, mem- bers of the department feel that such is the case now and the mat ter will probably be taken up at the next meeting of the department and some definite action will be forth coming.

ATTACKS AMERICAN
 COMMONL LAW RULES
Institute Of Politics Hears Of Continental System

Williamstown, Mass, Aug. 22 Pl- Advantages of the continental sys- tenn of civil law over American sys- tenn of common law were discussed in a general conference at the In- stitute of Politics today by Pierre LePaulle. director of the American seminar of the University of Paris.
 Declaring he did not wish to ad- wise adoption of the civil procedure, Dr, LePaulle pointed out neverthe- less that it is one thousand years older than common law and prevails in countries that gave up common law three hundred years ago.
 T believe" he said, that when you come to reorganize your proce- dure as you are doing at present, you might take into consideration this law material, and produce sys- tenn that would fit the substance of your own law and the genius of your race"
 He declared the common law jury brings unbusinesslike methods into the courtroom. represents simply the reign of the incompetent lay man. and substitutes the unreasoned subconscious sentiments of the jur- ors for the clear conscious reason- ing of the judges who alone pass upon a case under civil law.

BETTY NUTHALL IS BRILLIANT PLAYER
Youngest of Stars But Her Game
 Is of Old School
BY MARY K. BROWNE

Limited Press Staff Correspondent)
 Westchester Biltmore Club. Rye, N. Y.. Aug. 22 (UP) = Copyright 1924 by United Press)-To further pursue my analysis of various play CTS games who are competing in the women's national tennis this week, Betty Nuthall is next to at- tract our attention. She is the young est entry in the tournament, yet her game is of the old school. an un- derhand service and back court game. Betty Nuthalrs speed of foot. British tenacity, and aggressive fore arm stroke have earned for her vic tory over Mrs. Mallory at Wimble- don, and over Helen Jacobs in the recent team matches.
 To a casual observer Betty Nut hall does not show as much promise as either Eileen Bennett or Gwen dolyn Sterry. both young Britishers who have fine form and an all around game. -.
 Yet Betty Nuthall has greater steadiness and sounder instincts for the game than either of her team mates. She will of course, be obliged to learn an overhead serv- ice and master the net game before she can reach the very top.
 Both Eileen Bennett and Gwen dolyn Sterry were eliminated by Helen Wills at Wimbledon this year, but Miss Sterry won the only set which Helen has lost this year and nearly upset the Wimbledon apple cart.
 Eileen Bennett gave Helen a good fight in the second set of their match. Both these girls have good form, Miss Bennett in particular has beautiful form, but she strikes me as being too conscious of her form and not willing to scramble" the way Betty Nuthall and Joan Fry scramble" Gwendolyn Sterrys weakness is an cratic forearm which does not afford her the opportu- nifty she needs to. come to the net.
 Helen Jacobs, our bright young star, is coming on steadily and sure ly. She has a very fine service re- liable and fast, but does not yet vary lne QlTeCtlOn Ol 1el SclSloe enough. She favors serving through the center of the court rather than to the side lines and her opponents have very little trouble guessing her.
 Helen Jacobs backhand is a beauty. particularly the difficult shot straight down the line. She has that down pat, and it is one of the hard est shots in tennis.
 Helen Jacobs has two weaknesses, she has not yet mastered the fore arm stroke, and she is built toe heavy around her waist and chest to have stamina, good wind and flexible muscles. She may becoma more slender as she grows older but her build now is a handicap She is a slow starter. it takes her some time to get the range of the court and timing of her strokes, but Helen is a game little fighter and has good judgment and is working hard at her game.

| elsewhere. -.. T did find out. and tell you now | that opposition and disobedience tc the Eighteenth Amendment still permeates the atmosphere of official I Washington. Official Washington hates and derides the Eighteenth Amendment.
 | Washington is the seat of our government. the wellspring of our | laws, the one place to which the ears of the whole nation naturally | turn. The one thing they do not hear from official Washington is any clear note of leadership in law en- forcement.
 Challenges Coolidge
 "The president directs the policy of the whole government of the United States, including the treasury department and it's prohibition unit. He sets the tone of official life in Washington. His utterances on law l enforcement have given comfort to the drys. He has said and well said. Failure to support the constitution and observe the law ought not to be tolerated by public opinion. Espe- cially those in public places. who have taken their oath to support the constitution, ought to be most scrup- ulous in it's observance.
 "Very well then. No other single thing could help law enforcement throughout the United States half so much as the knowledge that the president has passed from words to actions: that the president does more than approve or patronize the Elgh- teenth Amendment; that he pro- poses ta put a friend of the law in charge of enforcing the law; that he is determined to see that it is en- forced; that he will not only champ ion the Eighteenth Amendment him. self, but will eliminate law break CTS throughout the government serv- ice, from the bottom to the top.
 That knowledge would do more to end the present riot of law break ing than any possible reorganization of the prohibition unit or than tens of millions of dollars. It is the one thing we have always needed. and the one thing we have never had What the present cold and passive attitude of the president means is that in the very shadow of the White House official Washington scoffs al the law.
 Does anyone suppose that feder- al enforcement would be the laugh ing stock of nullifiers and criminals or that Washington would be one of the wet cities of America if Theo- dore Roosevelt were president of the

Mayor Walker Rides

 There were no cheering crowds. no escorts and no trumpeters as the coach rumbled along. Only a few persons in the early morning crowd recognized the mayor, and he and those who accompanied him had an excellent view of London going to work The ride took about twenty minutes.

 This was mere talk. His notable acts in the realm of law enforcement are the pardon of the two bootleg ging. but highly connected. La Mon- tague brothers in New York; the pardon of politically influential bootlegger in Chicago, convicted. but let off before he went to prison; and his personal intervention to prevent congress from making an investiga- tion of the law enforcement work of the treasury department under Mellon.
 Under the Coolidge administra- ton there has been dry talk enough to keep the drys contented-mosto of them-but not dry action enough to keep the vets from getting all the drink they wanted.
 And that is none the less true because congress. which is over whelmingly dry, has always been ready to supply all the money Mel lon would take. and has recently passed laws which could be of real help in law enforcement to an administration that really wanted to enforce the law.
 Politicians Uncertain "On every side we see the effort l of politicians to ride both horses, to shut their eyes to this, the greatest moral issue before the people of the l United States. The drys of America

SAYS 'CAL' AND
 MELLON HELP VETS
Pinchot Charges They Talk Dry" But "Wets' Get Liquor

Winona Lake, Ind, Aug. 22 R}- Clifford Pinchot, former governor of Pennsylvania. addressing the Con- gress of the World League Against Alcoholism, Sunday assailed Andrew w. Mellon, secretary of the treas ury, as being the chief obstacle to complete enforcement of federal prohibition in the United States" Back of him, and therefore chief ly responsible, is President Cool lidge," the speaker declared. Much of the former governors address was devoted to a resumption of his at- tack on Secretary Mellon. whom he charges with refusing to have the prohibition law enforced
 For many reasons, Secretary Mel l lon is utterly unfit to have charge of the enforcement of the eighteenth amendment" MT. Pinchot declared First, he is wet. When appointed secretary of the treasury, Mellor was, if not the largest, one of the largest makers of whiskey in Amer | ica through his ownership in tho |Overholt distillery. Both because ol his personal views and his business Interests. he was just the wrong mar to enforce the law. The result ha' proved it.
 | "The trouble with the Coolidge ad ministration is that it has talked II favor of the drys, but acted ln favol of the vets. President Coolidge, per sonally, obeys the law. He has, it i' true, said in messages to congress that the law ought to be observed and ought to be enforced. He did it is true, call a conference Of gov ernors on law enforcement, the re suit of which was utterly nothing was there and I know.
 "Under the Coolidge administra ton there has been dry talk enougi to keep the drys contented--most O them-but not dry action enough tt keep the vets from getting all tht drink they wanted.'
 In closing Mir. Pinchot said:-
 Disbelicycs In Charge
 Being out of sympathy with law enforcement, Mir. Mellon, until tore ed by the accommodating pressure O public sentiment to do otherwise, hal put disbelievers in the law in charg' of enforcing it. Mir. Blair, who un til the last year or two had genera charge of law enforcement undel Secretary Mellon, is understood tt be wet.

 "But the responsibility for tn failure in Federal law enforcement does not lie at the door of tn treasury department alone. Ther was a power in Washington tha could have made even Mellon en force the law. I mean the presiden of the United States.

Former Premier of Greece
 Who Retired in 1916 Dies

Athens. Greece. Jan. R>-Nikolas Kalogeropoulos, veteran Greek statesman and former premier, is dead.
 M. Kalogeropoulos was premier. war minister and finance minister in the cabinet which succeeded the Zaimis ministry in September, 1916, during the world war. He announc- ed that the country would maintain benevolent neutrality" Subsequent pressure from the entente allies for Greece to enter the lists against the central powers, which she later did under Venizelos, was held to have caused the downfall of his cabinet within a month.
 After the war he formed another ministry. which he termed pro-en- tente. He headed the Greek delega- tion to the Near East conference in London in 1921 and there pleaded Greece's case in Thrac. and Asia Minor.
 It was during this administration that the disastrous Greek military campaign for enforcement of the national claims in Asia Minor was carried on and in 1929 he was re- ported to have been arrested on charges of responsibility for the de- bacle. Tho charges were not pressed.

WHIPPING POST IS BEING ADVOCATED
Stamford Mayor Wants Wife
 BeaterS So Punished

Stamford, Conn, Jan. 8 R1Be- lieving that treatment with the lash would diminish wife beating and cruel treatment of children, Mayor Alfred N. Phillips, jr., has asked the state legislators from this city to push a measure in the present general assembly which would ere ate a whipping post for such of lenders.
 The mayor in communications sent today to State Senator NJ. H. Kenealy and the two represent atives, said that from past observa- ton of offenders in the local courts, he believed that at present there are no efficient means to deal with cases of this kind. Local court eases have included those where men had beaten their wives, parents had abused their children and a son had beaten his mother.
 In many instances when the of fender was sentenced to jail or fined, 1t worked hardship upon his family, as those dependent upon him were deprived of means of sup port, he said.
 A whipping post would. in the mayors opinion, not only cause these cruel and inhuman acts to cease, but also leave the family concerned it's support.
