Does Prosecution Poison Prejudice Defendants Case

THE courtroom is tense as the
prosecutor stands accusingIy
before the murder suspect. Level
ing his finger at the defendant
the prosecutor shouts in ringing
tones:
Gentlemen of the jury, this
man you see before you is accused
of cruel and brutal murder
The head of the defendant
droops. He Stirs uneasily as the
states attorney continues:
His cruel and vicious nature is
revealed by the record of his di-
vorce. His wife won her plea on
charges of cruelty. How can you
doubt that a man who was cruel
to his wife would have any moral
qualms about shooting his neigh
Dor in an inflamed moment?"
The courtroom buzzes. The de-
tense counsel rises and cries:

the bootleggers will continue to
flourish. There are only about
100000 gallons of fully aged
domestic stocks. A pint of such

to be stretched to satisfy a ma

blending or cutting is necessary

Though Germany is arm

Lang, 81 expect an explosion

Americas recognition of Soviet
Russia is expected to play an i'm
portant part in the development of
the Far Eastern drama. Unless a
conflict comes soon, recognition can
not fail to be a stabilizing influence
in that part of the world. Neither
Russia nor America wants war And,
given time, Russia, with Americas
help, can make herself so powerful
that Japan would not dare attack
her.
Unfortunately however, the Jap

that war with the Soviet Union is
inevitable. The time to have such
a war, therefore, naturally would be
before Russia becomes too strong
that is to say, before the Russo
American rapprochement has time
to bear its logical fruit.
Russia Gains Strength
Russia already is becoming
stronger almost daily. Now, backed
by American credit enabling her to
purchase machinery, railway equip
ment and everything else she may
need, the tempo of her program will
be accelerated vastly. Soon if not
now, Japan will find her invincible.
Plainly, then, if there is to be a
conflict between Japan and Russia
in the Orient, from the japanese
point of view, the sooner it comes
the better The date 1885 has been
mentioned. I consider 1884 more
likely.
For time, at least, the two
powers likely would have the war
to themselves. Germany, friendly
to Japan, would keep Europe's
hands tied. She might not be able
to aid Japan in any other way, but
she could do at least that And
Russia's treaties Of nonaggression
would likely keep her European
neighbOrs neutral.
China to Fight to Live
Eventually, however, the other
great powers would find it difficult
to hold aloof War between Russia
and Japan would upset the whole
international balance of the west
ern Pacific and materially affect the
interests of most of the major
powers. The United States would
almost certainly be involved.
China, Of course, would fight for
her own existence, despite the pres
ent appearance of being a house
divided against itself.
Il found European observers, in
official circles and out, very pessi-
mistic. The peace machinery has
failed. All seem to feel that even
if the far east doesn't blow up soon,
Europe will.
THE biggest single factor for
peace now on the horizon seems 10
be the newly established relations
between America and Russia. If
Russo-Japanese conflict can be
STAYED off couple of years the
world may get a breathing-spell
during which the peace may again
be patched up. But I fear the
chances are slim.

AS good a use for string as
you can find is to put it in a
sweater. That would have
sounded like tommyrot a year
ago, but this year string ap-
pears in almost everything.
String from a fine threadlike
size, to rope, which makes COL
lars and girdleS. String makes
lace dresses, knitted suits, and
now sweaters. A popular use
for it is in twin sweater sets,
worn with pastel linen or pique
skirt. The combination is cool,
smart looking, and fairly dur
able, as there's nothing to
stretch or get out of shape.
But the best string outfit
we've seen so far is the sweater
and cap set we've sketched to-
day. 1t is not new to some of
you, for they've been in town
about a week. and you may
have bought yourself one. But
it's worth consideration, both
because of the sudden impor-
tance of string, and because it
is such a practical little set.
The sweater is knitted in a

sleeves, and purled at neck,
cuffs and belt. It is topped by

on over your bathing suit. And
here in Washington, where we
wear such things all summer

them with matching linen or

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
/. You said the other day in

r. S. V. P. are rarely used now
in invitations of extremely for
NAL character" Can you tell
me the reason why this is
true? They seem such an
easy way to ask for an an
sWer?
2. Will you please tell me
some appropriate selections
that I can choose to be sung
at my wedding?
3. Will you please tell me
some of the ridiculous Jim
cracks" that are usually put
in the brides cake?
THANK YOU.
/. Yes. I'll be glad to tell you
the reason why r. S. v p. (the
letters following the R should.
by the way, be small latters)
is not used very m'ch on for
NAL invitations. It is abbrevia-
ton, and, as much as we pos
sibly can, we should avoid abb
breviations in formal invita-
tions. You see, a formal invi-
tation should have about it a
sense of leisure, of the ultimate
of form" And evidence of
haste-and abbreviations always
indicate haste - takes away
from the perfection of the form.
Therefore, on formal invi-
tations, correctly engraved. we
now have the request for an
answer more politely written
out. Like this:
The favor of an answer
is requested
or
The favor of reply is requested

not be necessary to request an
answer" to an invitation, for
the words request the pleasure
of your company" should be
enough to indicate that a
courteous and quick reply Is
taken for granted. But, unfor-
tunately, in this day of rush
and carelessness, it is difficult
to make people answer invita-
tions, and so we make assur-
ance double sure" by asking
them to answer.
One more point: when in
vitations are sent on visiting
cards, such as invitations to
tea, to hear music in a home,
to play bridge, usually we must
put the abbreviations r. S. v. p,
for there is not enough space
on such a small card to write
the longer request.

the favorites: THE Voice That
Breathed Ger Eden" or "Oh

Sometimes, too, the choir or a
soloist sings Lord Most Holy"
and the glorious "Seven-Fold

Often, especially in house or
hotel weddings, a soloist sings

cessional.

are baked in a brides cake are:
"A ring for the one to be mar
ried next, a cat for the old
maid, dice for the most for
tunate one, a wishbone for the
one who will achieve the

bachelor, a dime or a new penny
for the one who is to be
wealthy, four-leaf clover or a

Cretinism Signifies Defect OF
Thyroid
Cretinism is a state of mental
effectiveness which is existent
from birth, and in Cretinisn1
the thyroid gland is the organ
that does not function properly.
AS you probably already know,
the thyroid belongs to that imS
portant and interesting group
of glands designated as the "en-
docrine glands" or the glands
of internal secretion" Com
posed of three parts, or lobes, it
is situated in the fore part Of
the neck, behind and somewhat
below the Adams apple"
A child may be born in whom
the thyroid gland does not Sc
crete sufficient thyroid extract
to activate the body and mind
as in the normal; and so pow
erful is the thyroid in this re-
spect that such a child may be
rendered idiotic, imbecilic or
moronic, depending directly
upon the degree of thyroid de-
ficiency.
In a typical case of Cretinism
the head is larger than average
and square-shaped. The eyes
stand wide apart. The nose is
broad and flat. The mouth
likewise is wide, while the
tongue is broad, thick and
what might be termed "beefy-
looking"
The whole stature Of the pa
tient is stunted. The neck is
short, fat and thick. Legs
are short and bowed. Arms
are short and fleshy. In fact,
the Cretin looks as though his
skin coverage might have been
average, but his body as
whole shriveled up inside of it.
In degrees of mentality, as
has already been mentioned,
the lowest forms of feeble
mindedness exist as we'll as
the highest.
On the emotional side, these
individuals are markedly slug
