ESSENTIALS OF CONTRACT
EXPLAINED
PEOPLE often have the mis-
taken idea that contracts
have to be made with Rreut
formality, expressed in highly
technical language, and exe
cuted amid colls of red tape. But
this la true only In exceptionally Im-
portant instances. The simple req-
uisites of a binding contract may be
completed In the most informal man-
ner.
Probably most of the contracts In
collections of the haute couture.
They are Interesting not only for
their munlier, but for the variety of
shades nsed. The monotone effect
of blue Is proving very effective In
prints for spring season.
Since we Americans have a way
of following the dictates of Paris
when It comes to fashion, it might
lie a good Idea to start playing
around with the various blues In
order to see just what shade does
most for you.
The wonderful thing aliout the
blues in fashion Is that they do not
"get you down." but rather they
lift you up, and the sky is the limit
to the ascendency of the gal who
selects Just the right shade of the
cool hue to give her that fresh
spring look.
Of course navy has been a tradi-
tional spring favorite for so long
Hint It Is now recognized as a clas-
sic color for spring, and this year
is no exception, so If navy is your
favorite blue, then wear It.
There are however, a considerable
number of new blues, so take your
boice but do get the blues.
force today are merely spoken agree
inents. Many contracts are created
by informal'letters written by p»r
sons to one another. Many are made
over the telephone, as when you
call up a store and they agree t»
deliver some goods you order. Much
of the world's grain supply Is bought
aud sold In the Jlrst Instance, mere-
ly by hnnd signals In the great Pit
In Chicago.
If the contract is of importance
involving substantial sinus of mouey
or vital services, it Is u good Idea
to reduce its terms to writing to
minimize the possibilities of fraud
aud ailsuuderstauding. Details of
oral understandings are easily for-
gotten or misinterpreted, but wrlt-
len coutrncts endure uuchauged.
Aud, if a difference of opinion must
be settled in court, a written agree-
ment speaks for Itself.
Certain kinds of contracts, such
as those Involving the sale of real
estate or the lease of real estate for
more than a year, will not be en-
forced In the courts unless written.
In the same category are contracts
wherein one person undertakes to
stand good for the debt of another
aud those which arc not to be per-
formed within one year from the
date on which the agreement is
made.
In order to create a valid contract
of any sort, each party involved
must lie legally competent to enter
Into the agreement. Each must he
sane and of legal age. A contract
entered Into by a male or unmar-
ried female under 21 Is voidable at
the option of the minor (but not at
the option of the other party). A
married woman is competent to con-
tract If 18 or over, but she is sub-
ject to a number of contractnral re-
strictions because of her morriage.
To l>e enforceable, a contract must
be entered into freely by each
party Involved. Their consent must
lie genuine. Compulsion or coercion
will make the agreement void. Mis-
take, misrepresentation or fraud
may also serve to Invalidate a con-
tract.
Another requirement of a con-
tract Is that each party shall i>er-
form some part of It. Similarly,
tliere must be some object or IWne-
flt to be gained by each party. In
return for your work, your employer
agrees to pay you certaiu sums of
money. He gains the use of your
services, while you are benefitted
by the wages or salary received.

After Killing

By the Aaaoclatstf Ntfro
NAIROBI, Kenya—Some II
Africans killed here last week

by Kenya security forcea were
Identified as members of a Mau
Mau force which ambushed aaa

officers was John H. Candler.

British campaign lo end the
Mau Mau guerilla warfare. His
death started a wide scale hunt
for the slayers.
Into for a lawful purpose. Tou
cannot enter Into a binding contract
to commit a crime or to evade the
law. Thus, since gambling and wag-
ers are prohibited by law, gam-
bliug debts cannat be legally collect-
ed by legal process. Nor will the
courts enforce an agreement to pay
Interest In excess of the legal max-
imum provided by statute.
