HER FRETS NO MORE • OVERJUSTICES Sheriff Finds He Does Mot Have to Handle Cases for Them. For days Sheriff Omer Hawkins has been worried. He has been subject to spells of wonderment, con centration, deep contemplation and head-scratching, while his brows have been furrowed and thoughtful.

Collins he Is comfortably sure that Jie does not have to handle any cases sent to his office by Center Township justices of the peace who still are holding office, despite the municipal court law which said they were out of office more than a week ago.

Mosley has filed suit in Superior Court Five for an injunction against the municipal courts on the grounds that they are . f Under the municipal court law, only one justice is permitted and that is Edward Dietz, elected in the recent election. ‘Won’t Exist’ "I have asked attorneys and Judge Collins and I’m at last satisfied that I do not have to handle any of the cases,” Hawkins said with relief. “They won’t exist in my office—not at all. "When they start to hfead any legal litigation my way they might as well sidetrack it, because it will be a dead stop.” . “But the justices are handling cases that came up before their terms ended. What about those?” he was asked. "Same thing. Can’t do anything for them,” he stated. “There’s only one justice I have to consider, and he was elected Nov. 2.” T BOYS AT BEDFORD Conference Will Continue Through Sunday.

THERMOMETERS AND COMMON SENSE It's a cold morning. How did you know? Did you look at the thermometer or did your tingling fingers shout the news? Perhaps the thermometer verified your own opinion but you knew it was cold before you looked. Your common sense told you. Exactly! When you take Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound or any other medicine —how do you know it helps you? Do you ask the neighbors? Do you try to figure it out on a scientific basis? Certainly not. You feel better and your common sense tells you what caused it. Science may confirm your owfl opinion, but you knew it all the time. Try Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. Then judge for yourself. The Third Generation Mrs. W. 0. Blewett, Route B, Box 197a, Lakeland, Florida, says: "I first took Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound when I was a girl. My mother had taken it, also my grandmother used it in her family for her eight daughters and herself. I think this medicine .does more for women than anything else I know of. I recommend it to my friends and several have taken it because of my recommendation.” —AATrtlnrnt.

INTRIGUE VEXED QUEENJN TRIP (C< intin tied From Page 1) the profit she would reap and the “exploitation” of the queen. After the fiasco of the first performance, held in the Metropolitan Opera House in New York, the American sponsor of the tour forced cancellation of the others. Other Trouble Makers. The leading persons In the turbulent affairs of the queen’s trip in addition to Miss Fuher, were: Ira Nelson Morris, retired dlplo mat, wealthy member of the Chicago packing firm, and personal friend of the queen. At her invitation, he went on the trip to have charge of all social arrangements. Stanley Washburn, a former war correspondent and member of the wealthy Minneapolis milling company, also a personal friend of the queen, who was invited by her as her personal aide. John H. Carroll, corporation counsel for several railroads and friend of Daniel Willard, president of the Baltimore & Ohio. He was asked by Willard to take charge of the trip, which was over the B. & O. and affiliated lines. He was In sole charge of the train and arrangements. * Samuel Hill, wealthy son-in-law of the late James J. Hill, and long-time personal friend of the queen. Dedication of his "museum” near Portland, Ore., gave the queen an official excuse for extending her trip to the west coast. Miss May Brinkhead, personal representative of Miss Fuller. The Roumanians in the party, headed by Prof. Petresco, as personal representative of Premier Averescu, and M. Laptew, gentleman-in-wait-ing to the queen. t Quarrel Before Arrival. The trouble started before the queen’s arrival. The first clash arose when train arrangements were made in New York. Carroll assigned Morris to a stateroom and he objected. Carroll refused him a private car so he paid for one of his own, which was attached to the royal train. Then Miss Fuller's Metropolitan benefit affair in New York arose as a plague and Carroll put his foot down definitely on any more such No more were held and it was an open secret that Miss Fuller went back to Europe broke. The queen could not aid her financially, because it is likewise,-an open secret that the Roumanian royal family is not overburdened financially. The queen, it was generally believed, needed the money which she obtained from her newspaper articles on her tour, although she announced the money would go to charity. More criticism arose because of the “commercialism" of the queen’s writing and her indorsement or use of -American products, such as motor cars, watches, cosmetics and similar things. In such a charged atmosphere the royal special pulled out of New York. Factional Strife. Before West Point was reached, trouble beg&n. Morris laid detailed i-'ans for the social activities of the tr.o. Carroll objected that they were too elaborate and too strenuous and Washburn sided with him, saying the queen must be protected from endangering her health. The alignment of Carroll and Washburn versus Morris persisted for the remainder of the trip, and neither side at any time was on speaking terms. At Toronto, Montreal and Ottawa further disagreement came between Morris and Carroll over the us<e ot

automobiles In visiting those cities, social precedence, and the like. At Winnipeg, Carroll’ suggested firmly to the queen that Morris be invited to leave the train when the party got back Into the United States at St. Paul. The queen suggested it would be too public a split and asked Carroll to try and get along with Morris. It was a temporary deadlock. At St. Paul, Miss Fuller, who was unable to board the train at New York because of personal business, tried to Join the party. She had with her Miss Birkhead and Mrs. Alma de Brettevllle Spreckles of California, a friend of Hill's. Carroll was willing to take Miss Fuller and Miss Birkhead, but said the Roumanians objected to the inclusion of Mrs. Spreckels. In the Interest of peace, the three women followed the special on a regular train. At Spokane they did board the special as guests of Hill in His private car which was attached there. On the coast, arrangements virtually had been left to Hill, as it was his "party” out there. Gracefully Quits. At Portland, Mrs. Spreckels gracefully left the party. At the horse show that night, the dissension came out In the open when Hill and Washburn almost came to blows. On the way to Seattle friends kept them apart by strenuous efforts. At Seattle and Vancouver, Washburn kept to hIH car. but Carroll decided the situation was impossible and Informed the Roumanians that Hill would have to leave the train, despite her friendship for Hill, the queen was compelled to assent. Carroll then moved Into Washburn’s car and permitted Miss Fuller and Miss Birkhead to occupy his car as Hill's car was taken off. Resorts to Tears. Miss Fuller was greatly distressed over the treatment of Hill, wept considerably and held long conferences with the queen. The Roumanians eyeing them askance. Before Denver was reached, Carroll announced an effort would have to be made to get the two women off the train. Petresco precipitated matters by telling the press that the queen would be "very glad” if Miss Fuller would leave. That the queen denied and Petresco wan forced to retract. However, at Denver, Carroll and Washburn were trying to persuade Miss Fuller to leave, and at the last minute she was transferred to a regular train and Btarted back to New York. That was virtually the end of the trip. At Chicago, first word came from the queen of mysterious cablegrams in code and reference to the king’s health, then at Indianapolis, the definite announcement of the cancellation. The country as a whole was astonished, but most of those on the train knew midway Vi the trip that the "court on wheels” and its Intrigues would be short-lived.

At that time an agreement against the use of poison gas was drawn up, signed, and eventually ratified by all the nations signing, except France.
