Which is food for thought if you
seek quick, safe relief.
Scientists rate Bayer Aspirin
among the fastest methods yet dis
covered for the relief of headaches
and the pains of rheumatism, neu-

Supreme Court Ends Custom
OfKeeping Extra Suit and Tie
Lawyers Must appear in Dark Clothes
Without Emergency Reliance of Days
When Tribunal Vas in CAPITOL.

In keeping with the austere dignity
Of the Supreme Court, lawyers have
been expected to wear dark clothes.
The frock coat, wing collar and dark
necktie have been correct attire for
half q century. Some of the Chief
Justices have been sticklers for this
tradition.
And so in past years when hardy
lawyers arrived from the rough FROM
tiers the emergency" coat and extra"
tie saw much service. The cutaway
often replaced bold checks or bright
colors. Veterans report that not few
members of the bar used to arrive
without ties and so welcomed the one
at the court.
The coat became court property by
accident. It was found in a closet
after the death of a court official.
The coat saw many years service
when the court met in the Capitol
Building. Then 1t was forgotten until
q colored messenger discovered 1t

tucked away In some nook. Moths had
damaged 1t and so the messenger was
allowed to take the historic garment
away.
Dark Suits Mostly Worn.
Most of the lawyers who have
argued before the court this term have
worn dark suits. Several have been
clad as elegantly as q. diplomat on q
formal call. But bright-colored ties
and suits have been worn without
cenSllre.
A lawyer was reprimanded for his
dress by the late Chief Justice Taft. A
member Of Congress appeared to move
admission to practice Of q large,
roughly dressed attorney friend. When
the newcomer stood before the court,
without vest and with coat unbut-
toned, Taft politely asked him to
stand aside"
The Congress member was much
fustered-his lawyer friend was a
wealthy Oil man who had been Ill. He
reappeared the following day and
was admitted.
Veterans cannot agree on why there
Is no emergency" rsiment now. Some
say lawyers are better dressed; Others
that the justices have gone liberal on
sartorial qualifications.

AI'iance With England Was
Problem to America,
Records Show.
Nv the Associated Press.


Hitherto secret diplomatic docu-
ments showed today that IS years ago
the United States sought changes In
an Anglo-Japanese alliance.
The alliance was consummated be-
tween Great Britain and Japan in 1911
for a 10-year period.
The diplomatic correspondence, pub
Hshed today by the State Department
in the course of routine printing of old
documents, showed that as early as
October, 2. 1919, the United States was
concerned lest the alliance might be
extended, on its expiration in 1921,
in form prejudicial to American in
terests In the Far East.
On that date. William Phillips. Act
ing Secretary Of State, who holds the
same position now, cabled John w.
Davis, the American Ambassador to
Great Britain, that the State Depart
ment desired particularly to learn
whether there is on the part of Great
Britain a tendency to broaden or to
restrict the recognition of JapaIl's spe-
cial interests in Eastern Asia"
On May 10. 1920, Frank L. Polk
then Acting Secretary, cabled Davis
that lit seems likely that Great Britain
and Japan will renew their alliance. -
I'VE are hopeful, however" Polk
added. that in making this renewal
Great Britain will insist upon includ
ing in the terms of the alliance such
provisions as shall safeguard the prin-
ciple of equal opportunity in China
and the rights of China more ef-
fectively.
I'VE also hope that it will be indi-
Gated that the alliance is not aimed

Polk asked Davis ito frankly inform

be practical for you to suggest to the

sonal manner that the alliance might
be changed in the way We have sug-
gested, which would be great aid to
Anglo o-American cooperation in the
Far East and be very pleasing to
American public opinion. ."
Davis notified the department on
June that he had conveyed infor-
mally to the foreign office the sub
stance of the American suggestions
and had been assured that they will
be fully considered"
Later, both governments agreed not
to renew the alliance. It's principles
were replaced by a series of treaties
dealing with the Far East and signed
at the Washington Arms Conference
in 1922.

The cutaway coat and black necktie
that the Supreme Court used to keep
for use by lawyers who were careless
about their dress have disappeared.
Many of the other old customs that
have been practiced by the court since
the early days of its history still re-
main, but check of the offices in the
new marble building has disclosed
that the cutaway and tie did not cross
Capitol Plaza.
The two articles were in frequent
use for many years. They were kept
to make certain that lawyers appeared
in proper attire when they argued be-
fore the court. Despite their disap-
pearance. there is still an insistence
upon proper form and ceremony in
the court.
Silk Robes for Justices.
The justices have worn black silk
robes ever since the first days Of the
146-year-old court. Historians recall
that the large powdered wigs used
then, and now by English jurists-
were frowned upon by our country's
founders.

TRINIDAD PROTESTS
BROKEN DOWN' CARS
Drive to Be Launched to Obtain
New Equipment From
Transit Company.

A concerted drive will be launched
by the Trinidad Citizens Association
to rid the northeast section of the
city Of what 1t considers broken
down" buses and street cars.
The association has made numerous
complaints to the Capital Transit Co.
about the buses and cars that haze
been placed in service recently. On
the H street car line that transit
company has placed more than a
dozen Of the old side seaters" in the
past few months, the citizens claim.
These cars are parked on a siding
near Sixteenth street and Benning
road at nights, making an unsightly
array of "old type" street cars for
passersby to see. According to Martin
Stecker, secretary OF the association,
some of these cars have been brought
from other car lines where the citizens
and riders have protested their opera
ton.
Some Of the buses on the Trinidad
Burleith line, Stecker said, are the
cast offs" from the other bus routes.
In the campaign the citizens hope
to receive an equal number Of the new
buses, street cars and other equipment
that the transit company purchases.

upper Connecticut avenue have been
commended by the Chevy Chase Cit
liens Association for a safety cam.
paign which they conducted among

was inaugurated by cleanup drive

A Forceful Presentation
OF District School Needs.

DR. BALLOU's presentation OF
the predicament Of the Public
Schools of the District OF Columbia
was considered the outstanding
event at the recent hearing before
Director Jacobs and the Advisory
Committee on the United States
District OF Columbia Fiscal Rela-
tons Study. Here the heads OF
departments appeared and ex-
planned the reasons which made it
appear that governmental costs in
the District were much higher
than in comparable cities. Some
of these heads, having had such
bitter experience on Capitol Hill,
assumed an attitude Of the defen-
sive and were almost apologize,
but this was not the case with the
superintendent Of schools.
The dual school system, with its
many ramiflcations, duplication OF
supervisory force and lack of flexi-
bility in supplying convenient seat
ing for pupils, was explained clear
ly and convincingly. Another fac
tor running up the cost was shown
to be the large number Of the old
type, eight-room buildings, q num-
Der of which were years ago found
to be unsuitable and condemned
for further school use.
It was shown that in comparing
costs in the District with other
cities, the Districts large number
Of obsolete units, expensive to OPP
crate and MAINTAIN and costly to
supervise, were being compared
with modern school plants in other
communities.
The director and members Of the
Advisory Committee were profound
~ impressed and frankly said so.
Mr.. Dykstra Of the committee Of
fered to 60 before the Appropria-
lions Committee in support of DR..
Ballou's program. Civic leaders
present at the hearing compliment
ed the superintendent highly on
making the strongest plea for the
schools they had ever heard.
DR.. BaIlou told the committee
that it will require appropriations
of 100000 q year for some time
to carry out q school building pro-
gram to meet the accumulated
needs and provide the District with
q plant adequate and capable OF
economical and efficient operation.
Mr.. Dykstra stated that he was
impressed with the need for long
term school building plan and be-
lieved that the civic forces should
urge the adoption Of such by Con-
greSS.
In the opinion of some civic lead
ers, DR.. Ballou should be requested
to repeat his plea before a full
meeting of the Board of Trade, Fed
Grafton of Citizens Associations
and other large civic meetings OF a
general character. The thought Is
that II he would impress these cit
liens as he did those at the hear
ing. the community at large being
sold on the analysis Of the problem
and the suggested solution, could
put up q united front and a strong
fight before Congress.
