When President Roosevelt recon-
1lended legislation that would have
,nabled him to pack the Supreme
Court Of the United States and made
It subservient to his will. the vast
majority Of lawyers rushed to the
defense Of the Supreme Court vigor-
ously opposing the adoption Of any
such legislation.
The Montgomery County Bar As
sociation passed a resolution disap-
proving the recommendations of the
President. In order that all men,
bers of our bar, some having been
absent at the meeting. might be able
to express themselves on this most
vital question. this resolution was
sent to each member Of our bar for
his or her approval. or disapproval.
Mr.. Prettyman both voted for and
approved the resolution. Thirty
flve members OF our bar approved
the resolution: Three members dis
approved. and one, Senator Prescott,
refused to approve or disapprove.
In the election of 1894, the Inde-
pendent Democrats Of Montgomery
County and the Republicans formed
a Fusion party to challenge the
Prescott-Lee machine. The Fusion
party, although only partially sue
cessful at the polls, did elect three
Of the flye members of the Board of
County Commissioners, thereby gain
ing control of the county government.
BY all standards of fair play and
craftsmanship (even in politics., the
Fusion controlled Board of County
Commissioners, having fairly won
control Of the county government,
was entitled to the county patronage
Yet. Senator Prescott who was at
the same election chosen State Sena-
tor. held the whip hand over legis-
lation. He therefore initiated and
had passed bill to give appointing
power to the county treasurer, a
member Of his faction. thereby en-
abling him to select a certain num-
Der Of his employees, and deprivins
the County Commissioners Of thi,
patronage.
We have in Senator Prescott q
young ambitious lawyer, nurtured
on politics. seeking the nomination
for the high ONCE Of Judge.
The Independent Democrats and
I personally have not one word to
say in dbparagement Of Senator
Prescott's ability and standing 4,
a lawyer, but We do believe that
Senator Prescott has not reached
that mature age we regard as neces-
sary and essential for Judge. Nor
do We believe that Senator Prescott 4
political associations and activities
have developed In him the mental
attitude and poise Of mind which We
commonly call and know as judicial
temperament"

years old. His maternal grandfather
was Judge william Viers Bouic, the

claiming to all and sundry that they
are the most miserable creatures alive.
Many Of these Niobes are married to
men who are kind. generous. good.
natured and easy to get along with.
and who swathe them in luxuries and
give them a high social position in
the world. But. alas and alack. some.
times the husband Is philanderer.
and sometimes he is Just a plain
prosaic business man who takes his
wife for granted and pays more atten-
ton to his business than he does to
her.
SHE wants poetry, romance, thrills
and to be the one and only. and
because he doesn't give them to her she
considers marriage total failure.
What pity that she can't do a little
balancing Of accounts and see that
beautiful home. charge accounts at
the best stores. pretty clothes and
good cars onset a lot of the story
book stuff.
Then there Is age, which Is won-
ans greatest headache. Probably 30
per cent OF the women in the world
worry themselves sick over growing
old. Every gray hair Is q tragedy.
Every pound lost or gained q calamity.
Every sagging muscle disaster. 1t Is
trying to ward of age that makes
them spend their money in the beauty
shops and endure all the pangs OF
semi-starvation, yet IN spite of oil
they can do. time marches on and
they cannot stop it.
What pity that they cannot take
age philosophically in their stride and
instead Of fighting against 1t make
the most Of it and enjoy it. For no
other time in life really has 20 many
privileges and compensations. because
by then their problems are settled
and they can sink down into placid
enjoyment Of what is left Of life.

Coaxing Hair
Into Wave
At Night
Skillful Cutting
By Expert Will
Do Wonders.
Ry ELSIE PIERCE.

HERE is rather unusual letter
from q reader who has to keep
a wave, without a permanent. and who
hopes her experience will prove EN-
couraging to others"
From time to time you publish
extracts from readers letters in the
hope that they will interest others. I
have read notes in your column about
permanent waves and I know how
helpful they are. But I don't seem to
have read anything about the woman
whose hair simply will not take a wave.
My hair turned prematurely gray
when I was IS. left it that way for
more than 10 years. Then competition
became very keen. the accent seems
to be on youth and gray hair still
seems a sign of age. So. for business
reasons I have had it dyed regularly
for quite few years. AS result it
will not take a permanent wave.
But a clever hairdresser has ban
ished despair. I can manage to keep
a fingerwave in my hair from 10 days
to two weeks and that is as good as
many friends of mine who have their
hair permanent-waved and then set
periodically.
1T isn't done with mirrors. It is
the result of very skillful haircutting
with razor, layer upon layer, thinned
expertly so that the hair falls into the
line of wave almost naturally.
Il have such haircut and thinning
about once a month or once every six
weeks. my hair seems to grow faster
in the summer than in the winter.)
1t is shampoo'd and fingerwaved in
the beauty parlor once every 10 days
during the summer, once every two
weeks in the winter. Added to that
little coaXing is necessary at home.
I spend about 10 minutes on my hair
every night first brushing. then a
little steaming from the hot-water tap
which makes my hair very pliable
Then coax the wave into place, put
the ends in curriers' (soft ones that
can sleep on) don a net which I
remove in the morning and I am
completely dressed. That's all .
I merely comb through my hair and
1t always looks groomed and freshly
waved. 1t takes that little time and
effort :. but I'd like to see the woman
who can keep her hair looking lovely
without that"

We have dealt with the value OF
vitamins many times-but for the lay
man, the Importance OF iron in the
diet has been somewhat neglected Of
late. The Bureau Of Home Economics
Of the United States Department of
Agriculture stresses its need in a re-
cent release. We quote from it:
"Nutritionists have known for q
long time that one Of the most i'm
portant of all nutrients is iron. Iron
is needed in every cell in the body
and is particularly important in the
blood stream 1t is an essential part
Of hemoglobin-the Substance that
makes red blood cells.
1T is hemoglobin that carries oxygen
to the organs and tissues and carries
away the waste product, carbon
dioxide For this purpose our bodies
need a supply Of iron-only very
small amount in terms of weight and
volume.
'Since iron is so important nutri-
tionally every one should get a regu-
lar, generous supply of it as food
Children and expectant mothers need
more in comparison to body weight
than do other persons.
"For years 1t has been known that
many American diets are low in iron.
There are many individuals who are
listless. pale and have little appetite

~
meats. green leafy vegetables,
whole grain cereals and legumes Milk,
which we rely on for so many Of our
other protective nutrients, is not
good source of iron.
Meat organs are richer in iron
than are the muscular tissues. It is
we'll known that liver Is rich source
OF iron. But heart, kidney and brains
are valuable for the same reason.
Pork. beef, lamb liver are Just as
valuable. sources of iron as Is the
more expensive veal liver. The lean
muscle Of beef. veal, pork, lamb and
the dark meat OF poultry are also very
good.
Eggs are one of our best sources
Of iron. Egg yolk is especially high
compared with other foods and It con-
tains enough to make the whole egg
rate rich. This is the time OF year
when eggs are most abundant and
lowest in price
AT this time Of the year, too, the
