Bridesmaids Are
Scarce i'm London
And May Get Fee
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, March 5.-Bridesmaids
are becoming scarce for society
weddings and 1t is quite possible
that those available in the future
will demand a fee for their services.
This has come about not through
any particular shortage of girls,
but from the fact that the old
superstition still prevails If girl
has been a bridesmaid more than
twice she will never be a bride
herself. Also 1t is an expensive
luxury being bridesmaid now that
incomes are somewhat depleted
and dress material so expensive.
AT one or two of the recent
Society wedding bridesmaids were
promised and received valuable
diamond pendants for their serv-
Ices, and now Mayfair is discuss
ing what fee a bridesmaid should
be entitled to when the shortage
has to be really faced.

Paris Pedestrians
Subject to Traffic
Rules, Court Holds
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, March 5.-Jaywalkers
have lost their rights in Paris.
The court has ruled that Pc
destrians are subject to traffic
rules like vehicles.
The case started when a man
chose to disregard the pedestrian
lanes across the busy Champs
ElyseeS avenue, maintaing his
right to cross at any point. The
public prosecutor, on behalf of the
police, argued that pedestrians are
part of the traffic.
The case went up through the
lower courts, with the decision
changing back and forth for ac-
quittal or conviction. But the
highest court, the Court of Casa
ton, has ruled against the pedes-

| Rheumatism, headaches, liver

sleeplessness and urinary disorders
often come from sluggish kidneys.
| The moment you feel a dull ache
in the kidneys, or your back hurts,
or if the urine is cloudy, offensive,

scalding, begin drinking quart
of water each day, also get about

SAYS WASHINGTON
AHEAD OF HIS DAY
DR.. Clarence True Wilson Claims
Patriot $50 Years in Advance
in Moral Stand.

George Washington was $50 years
ahead of the times in advocating tenn
perance and far advanced in his ideas
on other great moral issues, such as
slavery and dueling, DIR. Clarence
True Wilson. general secretary Of the
Board of Temperance and Public
morals of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, told n gathering of 500 citi-
zens of Takoma Park at the COM
munity celebration last night in the
parish hall of Trinity Episcopal
Church.
DR.. Wilson declared that Washing
ton was an enemy of strong drink and
despite the claims of some recent his
torians, never INDUCED in anything
stronger than beer and light wines.
ION the question of temperance and
prohibition. Washington was at least
$50 years ahead of the times" the
speaker claimed, land never condoned
the use of distilled spirits" To back
up this claim, DIR. Wilson quoted from
a letter written by Gen. Washington
to his nephew, Bushrod Washington,
later a member of the United States
Supreme Court, in which he strongly
urged abstinence from strong drink.
Washington position with refer
ence to drinking In the Army is well
known, DR.. Wilson declared, for the
public records show that he admin
istered iron discipline in cases Of
drunkenness. Army orders, he said.

drinking while on duty and drunken
soldier was dashed and court martialed.
At the age of q, Washington an
nounced to his friends that he would
never give or accept a challenge to
fight a duel with any one, DR.. Wilson
claimed. although gentlemen of those
times were accustomed TO satisfy their
honor in this manner.
''In this respect he was at least a
century ahead of his times DR.. Will
son said.
Washington also stood out boldly as
an opponent of slavery, the speaker
said, and sympathized thoroughly
with anti-slavery sentiment as ex-
pressed In the early days of the Re-
public With Thomas jefferson and
James Madison, he tried In vain to
withhold recognition of slavery from
the Constitution, when it was framed.
but public sentiment prevailed against
them.
His feelings on the question of sla-
very were so pronounced for those
times, DIR. Wilson said, that in his will
Washington provided for the eman-
cipation of all slaves belonging to his
own and his wifes estates, at the
latter's death.

Boyhood Poverty

CHICAGO, February 23.--Wash-

his will. In consequence all his

PROMINENT SCOTS
CALL ON PRESIDENT
Chief of Clan Fhearghuis, and
Others, Advocate U. S.
College in Scotland.

Accompanied by the Chief OF Clan
F'hearghuis of Stra-chur, 72d descend
ant of King Fergus, first of the
ancient Scottish kings, Angus Robert
son, president of the Highland Asso-
citation of Scotland, the "An Comunn
Gaidhealach," and r. NJ. Montgomery,
president of the American Iona
Society. called on President Coolidge
and the British Ambassador today to
outline briefly their plans for the
founding and endowment of an Amer
lean university in Scotland, devoted
to the teaching Of the Gaelic faith and
spreading of the ancient Celtic teach
ings. All three We're dinner guests
last night of Mrs. G.. G.. Calhoun. Mr..
Robertson and Mr.. Montgomery were
to leave Washington this afternoon
for New York, on the first leg of their
journey back to Scotland. The Chief
of Clan Fhearghuis of Stra chur was
to remain in New York at the Ex-
plorers' Club. of which he is a member.
Project to Cost $4,000, 900.
The purpose of the visit to this
country of the distinguished Scots,
according to Mr.. Montgomery, is to
inaugurate campaign to raise funds
for founding of the proposed Amer
mated cost of $4,000, 900 1t is spon-
sored in the United States by the
American Iona Society, and the uni
versity Is proposed to be established
near Iona or elsewhere in the Scottish
Highlands.
The society, according to Mr.. Mont
gomery, feels that the idealism and
spiritual forces of the world will be
greatly diminished if steps are not
taken Immediately to maintain the
ancient impulses Of Scottish national
ity.
Point out that the United States, in
it's military and political history, has
found Scottish people or their direct
descendants in the forefront of many
movements which have benefited this
country. Mr.. Montgomery said II of
the 80 Presidents of the United States
have had Scottish blood in their veins;
that John Paul Jones, father of the
American Navy, was a Pict of Gallo
way, Scotland, and that Patrick
Henry was the son Of a Scot from
Aberdeen. Nine of the signers of the
Declaration of Independence were of
Scottish origin, he said.
Cites ''Ties That Bind"
/ Because of these facts and the ties
that bind many members of the
American expeditionary forces to
Scotland through their associations
there during the war, Mr.. Montgom-
cry and Mr. Robertson hope to re-
ceive American support in their plan
for the university.
THE primary purpose of the Ameri-
can Iona Society,"" Mr.. Robertson said
today, sis to enlist the cooperation
of all thoughtful Americans for the
first time in giving practical recogni-
ton to Scotland for the wonderful
contribution she has, century after
century, been making to our national
welfare. The plan deemed most feast
BILE is to erect and endow a seat of
learning"
Declaring that many American dead
lie in Scotland, Mr.. Montgomery said
that Iona University, overlooking the
sands OF the sea, will be tribute to
the memory of the many who have
died to preserve American liberty and
world civilization.

years ago the premiers of the British
empire told the people they saw no
hope for the future of civilization ex-
cept in application of the principles
of Jesus Christ to human society"
THAT is also our conviction" he
said. There has, however. been a
great change in our country in the
past $50 years. There are new ele
ments in our national life. There are
many alien to the genesis of our Ma

the sacrifice and struggles of it's birth
and who are out of sympathy with
our ideals. They came here to escape
