~ sounds like a simple enough ques-
ton to decide, but there is so much
divided opinion here at school that
we need an arbiter: When one of us
invites a clasmate to go home for a
holiday, is she expected to pay the
train fare of the guest?
Answer-Guests are always expected
to pay their fare to the house of the
hostess (unless they go in a convey
ance belonging to the hostess). Kay,
going to stay with Grace, should pay
her own fare, Of course. But I agree
this becomes difficult question if Kay
takes it for granted that Grace is
providing the railroad tickets. The
only think she can do is to ask, do
you want me to get your ticket when
I get mine?" And this is awkward and
even rude If she gives Kay an inkling
that her intention to fulfill her own
obligation is doubted.

They did not have suite at the hotel,
merely bed room and bath, and

they met their friends and talked for
awhile in the bed room. am not
overly prim, but have always been
taught that any such arrangement as
this was improper, no matter who the
girls and men happened to be. Per-
haps this is old-fashioned to believe in
the present day. Is it?
Answer-Im surprised to hear this
was possible, because in most hotels
of high class the management would
have knocked on the door almost i'm
mediately and told them that men Wis
itors in the bed rooms of women-or
vice versa-is against the rules. But
If they had a transformable sitting
room, then this was all right.

of to 6 inches. When trans
planting set plants deeper in soil
than they were in before trans
planting.
II the early berries seem a lit

The Old Gardener SAYS:

Sedum acre is a plant of great
value for rock gardens, and for
that matter. for other gardens,
1t produces attractive yellow
flowers for a large part of the
Summer. 1t is very easy to grow
and may be propagated by di-
vision. This plant should be one
of the first the amateur chooses
when making a rock garden.
Sedum acre is lower growing
than most of the Sedums, but
there are other good kinds, like
Sedum spectabile, which grows a
foot high and may be used in a
rock garden of some size or as an
edging for a perennial bed or
shrub border. This sedum has
great fiat heads of pinkish flow
ers late in the season.

A WOMAN'S VIEWPOINT
BY Mrs. Walter Ferguson

TTHERE are only two valid reasons why women
should not juries in the opinion of a
judge: Bad courthouse accommodations, and the
expense of bailiff to attend them during long trials
The jury system as it exists today is inadequate,
uninteligent and does not speed justice. The addi
ton of women will not improve it, probably but it
certainly can not harm it. So far as emotionalism
goes, they are not hampered by it any than
are they are no less reasonable or prejudiced,
and undoubtedly the mill run of them are quite as
smart as men.
Please remember, it is the judge speaking: SIN
the days when juries were first formed the most
intelligent men of the community were selected.
Life simple affair in those communities. The
jurors therefore, knew all the individuals involved
in each case as well as every detail of the matter
they to decide. They had the respect of their
neighborhoods. 1t was point of honor with them
to further the triumph of justice.
What a different picture We have nowadays
Our lives complicated, it is impossible for the
juror to be reliably informed on any question He
obtains his information from many sources and
seldom at first hand. He is also confused by the
legal language and the technical arguments he hears
which even the lawyers themselves can not always
fathom.
Everything Is against him, everything binders
him from straightforward thinking with what little
brain he may have. The entire jury system is losing
caste, even with the bar
Women will not be able to help the situation
much, but being citizens of the republic subject to
trial themselves, they ought to bear their share O
responsibility for its future failure
THE main trouble lies in this fact: Our legal
business is based on customs in vogue in the dark
ages. We are airplane people dragging around
an oxcart judicial system"
Thank you, Judge

NO TIME TO LOSE

HUMANITY and reason join in demanding that
Congress brush aside few obstructionists and
enact the Kerr Coolidge deportation bill. And it
should make this rational measure into law before
the end of the month.
This bill would give the Department of Labor two
powers it lacks. One is to prevent the deportation
of innocent aliens who are deported because of the
laws technicalities. The other is to send back to
their own countries thousands of vicious and crim-
nal aliens that the law protects.
March l is the deadline for 1852 such innocent
aliens whose exile must begin then. The Labor De-
partment has held off sentence of Punishment for
two years. hoping Congress would act. handful
of extreme excluSonists demanding finger-printing
of aliens, quota reductions and other non-related
measures, have sabotaged the bills passage until now
doomsday looms within week for these hapless
families.
To let these relatively few aliens remain is more
than humane; it is good economy. Immigration
Commissioner Mccormack estimates that their 60

American citizens and at least 1000 of whom will

The dangerous presence of these crooks and para
sites must be laid to the door of those congressman
who have prevented passage of the Kerr-Coolidge bill
for two sessions.
Let us have an end to this cruel and senseless
paradox.

report of DR.. William H. McCast-

President Nicholas Murray Butler.
The program which seeks both to
prevent mental ills and to increase
the efficiency of the student body
through the use of psychiatry. has
been worked out under the direc-
ton of Dr. Earle H. Adams.
DR.. McCast1ine feels that in the
past there has not been sufficient
preventive work in the field Of psy-
chiatry Too often the attitude has
been that mental ills were some
thing to attack after they had
reached the acute stage.
by timely treatment in the late
teens and early twenties it is pos
sible not only to forestall mental
and nervous breakdowns but to in
crease the efficiency and therefore
the contribution to his environment

Mental illness has been an
enigma as long as the human race
has existed and it has been only

DALD William Lenke, who yields to none in a
E free-for-an fight, emerged as the man who got
slapped in the Father CoughGn VS. John O'Connor
bout that didn't happen.
Rep. Lemke, leader of the House infiatonists
found his greenback bill farther from success than
before the fiery priest came to his support and was
tol-to-the- White-House place-kick, with Father
Coughlin defending the west goal.
Now Rep Lemke count only 207 names on
his petition to force the initiation bill to a House
vote. Administration leaders say the verbal LASH
ing administered by Reps. O'Connor and Boand to
Father Coughln has so stfened the opposition that
the measure ceases to be threat this session.
couple of weeks ago 2l5 members had signed
only three short of the number required to compel
vote. After Father Coughins first attack, in
which he accused House members of cowardice
the names began dropping off, despite the pleas OF
Rep. Lemke and his followers.
Rep. Lemke isn't giving up however. Back of
his present fight is long history of battles in his
native North Dakota.
The infationist leader isn't one OF the hard
handed farmers whose he so persstently
champions although his cloth cap, awry necktie and
baggy trousers might fool you.
He is Yale law graduate. but he has little
patience with professors at Yale. or anywhere else

COME persons seem to think that
~ temperament is an important
factor in causing overweight, and
that stout people are easy-going
and quiet. An investigation made
abroad revealed that so per cent of
those persons who are overweight
were excitable and nervous, and
that only 10 per cent were phleg-
matte.
In fact, an exciting fat persoy
appears to be much more irritable
than an excitable thin person.
Temperament is important in re-
ducing weight, but it is important
from the point of view of the will
power of the person concerned in
following a strictly scientific reduc-
ing diet.
AS women gain maturity, have
children, or approach the crucial
period al the end of middle age,
they acquire special tendency to
gain weight. Men in general are
more active physically for longer
period of time than are women.
Men spend more time in the open
air, eat more proteins and less sug-
ars, and are less likely to try weight
reducing just to look better. Fol-
lowing childbirth, woman is likely
to rest and eat more than she did
previously. This explains the ten
dencV at St1ch finoac RI 0vnruoiuhf
The way to reduce is to find out
how many calories you spend daily,
and then eat 500 calories less. This
will reduce your weight about one
pound week.
There are many simple proce-
dures to try. A cup of clear, hot
coffee will furnish about 10 Gallo

thick cream and one lump of sugar

The historian, John Fiske, says
that in the early American days
little interest was felt regarding an

to be fashionable to provide ones
own pedigree along with that OF

number Of cases where neighbor tries

But aside from personal pride
the pedigrees of men are interest
ing. In unraveling the threads oil
individual relationship, a more con-

the study of history is comparatively
lifeless."
