Smith of Nlinois. The outcome was never In doubt, but various senators wanted to be heard, seme in favor of the Reed committee's resolution and others in opposition. The language of the res. olution as reported was changed so that the measure read that Smith's credentials were tainted with fraud and corruption and that as a conse. quence he was not entitled to mem- bership in the senate and that a va. eancy exists in the Illinois representa. tion, The statement eliminated by the alteration was that Smith was not en. titled to the oath of office because of the nature of the contributions to his campaign fund, § ENATOR HEFLIN of Alabama is \J convinced that the Roman Catho- lie church 1s determined to destroy him because of his attacks on the Knights of Columbus, and on Wednes- day he broke out im ene of his tomary tirades against the Catholics, He attributed the publication of the discredited Hearst Mexican docu- ments to a Catholic conspiracy against him, bringing In the name of Mrs. Hearst as a member of that church. When Senator Robinson of Arkansas, a member of the committee that in- vestigated the documents, denied that the Catholic church had anything to do with them, Heflin In a rage de- manded that Robinson be deposed as minority leader. The debate between these two Democrats then became ex- tremely bitter and personal listened to by the Republicans deep interest.

In a note to the subcommittee on security of the pre. paratory committee on disarmament which meets In Geneva in February, the government emphatically reasserts its belief in localized agreements as opposed to generalized schemes, The note points out that the strength of an arbitration treaty de. pends entirely on the willingness of the people to support decisions unfa- vorable to themselves, which creates limits “beyond which a state eannot go In accepting binding obligations to arbitrate.” It observes that the time Is not ripe for any general system of sanctions for the enforcement of arbitration treaties, and doubts that any nation which is strong enough to use force effectively would at present under. take any such general obligations to use force against a party to a dispute which refused to submit to arbitra. tion. extremely w—— OR several weeks a Japanese dele gation headed by Viscount Goto has been In Moscow trying to negotl- ate with the soviet government for Amur valley of Siberia. Also, Baron Tanaka, the Japanese premier, has been moving for a Russo-Japanese al llance, Both these plans may fall through, the former because the Rus sian government Is the Japanese shall not get a strong foot. hold in Siberia, and the latter because of the marked disapproval of Great Britain. As a sign of this disapproval the British government suddenly cided to send five 10000-ton to China. Conditions determined de. cruisers throughout China are becoming more chaotic daily, If that Is possible, and brigandage and piracy are increasing.

A woman's hair is heavier and coarser than a man's and it grows longer. The average length of hair of women of the Anglo. Saxon race is from eighteen to thirty inches, and that of men be’ ween six and ten inches” Disposal of Property Calls for Cool Mind When raking a will, one 1s advised to consult a good lawyer, for the rea: son that a slight legal flaw, such as a nonprofessional Is likely to make, will invalidate an otherwise perfect instrument. It is good advice to say that no one should make a will un- less and until he has definitely de cided in his own mind what he wants his will to accomplish, A will ought to be a deliberately planned act. “He ing sound in mind and body” 1s a phrase used in thousands of wills to indicate that the testator knows what he is doing. But even more valuable it would be for the testator to say: “Being sound in mind and body, hav. ing carefully deliberated, bearing no il will toward any one, and not be ing in haste, 1 do now make this my Ingt will and testament.” Don’t make a will when you are in a hurry, when you are angry, or when you are sick. =Qutlosl, .
