Lawyers Issue Blast
Al Delays in Filling
Federal Judgeships
BY the Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 15.-
The Nations lawyers were told
today that slowness in filing va
cant federal judgeships has re-
suited in "intolerable delays Of
justice during the past three
years."
The Federal Judiciary Commit

power to nominate judges-nor
the Senate-which confirms the
nominations-in its blast at "the

Time Lapses Traced.
However. in q report to the 18th
annual ABA convention opening
today, the committee traced time
lapses between the dates Of va
cancies in wide sections Of the
country and the dates Of presi-
Dental nominations to fill them.
It concluded its report by quot
ing without comment from a June,
1852 resolution adopted by Fed
eral judges Of the 9th Circuit

that 1.-The impression has been Gre

Instances Cited.
The committee concluded that:
1T is clear that intolerable de-
lays Of justice during the past
three years have been directly at
tributable to the failure Of the

by the hatters themselves is the
idea that hat styles must change
completely every season. Every
woman knows that last years
bonnet is as demode as a last
years bird nest. But when the
budget is tight, the result may
be that a hat is knocked off in
favor of something that lasts
longer than a season.
Women who thus lose the
habit of hat-wearing may be a
headache to the hatters, but their
worst worry, according to Mon
sieur Gallien, is the younger
generations scornful attitude
towards headgear.
"Just think of it - some of
them have never owned a hiatt"
When the Duchess of Windsor
was photographed not long ago
wearing only net over her hair,
some hat-makers howled. But
Monsieur Gallien thinks they can
no longer afford to bubble.
Even a net or flowers is better
than nothing at all. We're willing
to count nearly anything worn on
the head as hat"
The beret, in its myriad dis
guiSes, is by far the most popu-
lar headgear for both sexes in
France. 1t has almost come to be
symbol of the Frenchman, but
its hold on the country does not
go back as far as most people
imagine. Part of the Basque ma
tive dress, it only spread to the
rest of France some twenty
years ago, replacing the work
mans traditional cloth cap.
Part of the beret's popular
appeal is the fact that it can be
found to fit any pocketbook -
from the workman's cheap felt
model at a few hundred francs
to the bejeweled velvet cock
tail number for the wealthy
woman of fashion.
In all, some 1000 new hat
models are launched every year
by Paris twenty 'tmodistes"
(custom hatters, as opposed to
"chapelliers" who turn out
wholesale reproductions). Hat
seasons precede dress seasons
by about a week, to take ad-
vantage of foreign buyers pres
ence.
Last year the "chapelleries"
did fifteen billion francs worth
of business, and the "modistes"
annual les amounted to seven
teen billions (both figures in
clude exports). This is an i'm
provement over the earlier post
war years.

PARIS. - French hat-makers
are facing the darkest times
their industry has known since
Marie Antoinette dealt them a
low blow by popularizing tower
ing hatless hairdos in the 18th
Century.
That time, the crisis blew over
and women went back to wear.
ing hats as enthusiastically as
ever. This time, encouraged by
history's example, the hatters
have organized to try to stem the
tide of hatlessness which engulfs
them
Modern hatters blame the war
for getting women in the habit
of going bare-headed. Some
blame the bad example set by
American tourists, who often
manage to look chic without
hats.
Time was when no Paris
housewife would have set foot
on the street without being
properly hated and gloved, even
if she were only on her way to
the baker for a loaf. The hat
makers, backed up by fashion
dictators, still sternly insist that
a woman of style should never
be seen dead without chapeau.
You might as well step out with
out shoes as to be bare-headed
in public, they hint darkly.
But, faced by statistics and
dwindling scales, the hatters'
syndicate must sadly admit that
times have changed. Among the
crowds that stroll down the
Champs-Elysees in warm Spring
weather, hardly more than one
woman in ten wears hat.
If the public has decided that
hats are frivolities and not neces-
sites, the hat designers them
selves are at least partly at fault,
admits Monsieur Paul Gallien,
secretary-general Of the hatters'
syndicate.
BY bringing out mad creations
that nobody could possibly take
seriously, they have literally
out-smarted themselves, of course,
it's the daffy chapeau that al
ways gets splashed in the papers,
but a hat that people can laugh
at does the industry a dis-service,
thinks Monsieur Gallien.
Another boomerang launched

pose.

There is another valuable cassia

If anybody should ask you for
Maria Lopez, remember they are
not inquiring for any person of that
name, but for the shrub that has a
large yellow. blossom about the
size of a wild rose. This is another
fever cure bush. The leaves are
brewed and given to the fever pat
lent while the tea is hot.
For a douche or taken as drink
the malvis bush is much in de-
mand. The leaves are used as tea
or a douche and the remedy is
said to be effective in cases of
womb trouble.
The yellow poppy, known as this
tie, has several uses. The stem
when broken exudeS a milk-like IL
quid which is a cure for ring worm.
The root is boiled and given to
those with jaundice. Gin may or
may not be added. It is also good
for fevers and colds.
Old residents claim that the
leaves of the wax plant when
chewed will relieve sore throat
while the leaves of the pound cake
bush when made into a tea will
clear the blood of all impurities,
relieve acid stomach and may be
used as a douche.
The avocado, known as q table
delicacy, now comes to the front
as a blood purifier. The leaves are
boiled and the water that is
strained from them is used as q
medicine.
For headaches and fevers the
guinea hen bush is used. The
leaves are brewed for fevers and
when crushed, sprinkled with alco-
hol and placed on the head will
cure headaches. For rheumatism
the leaves are made into strong
tea for a wash with salt and am
monia added. They are also used to
restore use of limbs to paralysis
victims. It is said to be one of the
most valuable shrubs known to the
natives of those islands of the West
Indies. In Jamaica the leaves are
picked from the shrub, rubbed on
and the headache vanishes.
There is the horse bush also
known as kill-or-cure. When the
leaves of this bush are, brewed as
q tea they are good for coughs
and colds. The leaves. when put
into the oven and parched. then
ground into a fine powder are
used to cure sores and wounds that
refuse to heal. Then there is the

brewed as a remedy for coughs
and colds. The horse bush and the

together and may be termed as an
