My boy received as gifts at different
times an Indian suit. aviator's suit

wondered why she had no such splen-

wear out, am replacing them with
little costumes which, though they cost
no more than ordinary dresses, are a
constant source Of pleasure to her.

What kind of man is the new SEN
ator from MisSouri-the one who will
sit in the seat occupied so long By the
nlustrious Jim Reed?
The question might be answered with
the simple statement that Roscoe Pat
ilarity to Reed.
Unlike Jim Reed, Senator Patterson
is not regarded as great orator Not
that he has poor delivery, but he
sacrifices attempts at eloquence for
logic. His speeches also lack the biting
sarcasm and vindictivenesS of Reed.
He Is a successful attorney and comes
from q family of lawyers. His father
and two brothers are members of that
profession. Until he accepted appoint
ment as United States attorney he had
lived all of his life in Springfield,
Greene County. He is married and has
one son.
Patterson is a man of personal mag
netiSm, makes friends easily, and keeps
them. His friends say that he never is
happier than when surrounded by peo-
equal. He confessed to this writer
that he was always glad to see any one
who had information. for it was diff
cult for him to get hold of enough to
satisfy the demand.
He is a great theatergoer, but pre-
fers classical drama. He laments the
passing of Shakespearean plays from
the stage.
If the Senator is not in his Office it is
a pretty safe bet that he is out in his
automobile, for motoring is his one
hobby. He and his family spurned the
train when they came to Washington.
He drives his own car and has made
extended motor trips.

SAYS ARBITRATION
 WILL BRING PEACE
Hughes Calls Kellogg Treaty Futile Mockery' Without It

New Haven, March 23 (UP)-A pledge of settlement of international disputes by peaceful means, such as Is embodied in the recently complet- cd multilateral treaty, is but a knocking futility' if it is not fol- lowed by some step toward creating machinery for eliminating the causes of disagreement. Charles Evans Hughes told Yale university audience last night.
 Speaking on 'I'an-American peace plans on the Sherill foundation. Hughes pointed to the Pan-Ameri- can treaty of arbitration concluded at the recent Washington confer ence as an outstanding achievement In this endeavor.
 With a quiet and unobtrusive hu- mor, the former secretary of state outlined 40 years of battle to pass a treaty providing for compulsory ar btration of iusticiable disputes through the United States senate.
 Hughes moved his Sprague hall audience to laughter in recountns the completely nullifyng restrictions placed on very treaty of this sort up 10 last year.
 The Pan- American treaty. how ever. has only two restrictions, and those of a minor nature, Hughes said.
 ''The Pan n-Amcrican treaty of ar bitration could not have been con- cluded at the conference in Wash ington had there not been an at mosphere of amity and sincere de- sire to make firm the bonds Of peace" Hughes asserted.
 The government of the United States in signing this treaty has giv- en a demonstration heartily welcom- ed by it's sister republics of it sin- ccrity in renouncing war as an ln- strument of national policy and in pledging itself 10 settlements by pa cifc mcans.' Hughes concluded.
