Those good old days have fled,
And at the hour l used to rise

To score of hungry swine.

The OK team red and white
With which I tramped the meadow,
From morning until night
But muscles I developed then,
They come in handy still,
When I must walk behind and push
My auto up the hill.

Among the countless hosts of weeds

Keeps me about as busy as
The hoe did then. trcw.

He's CALM of his sweetheart
In sunny meadows bright;
But listen for the danger!-
Watch out, Bobwhite!
The fields are spread for Fasting
The golden grains in sight;

But joy is fast in flight;
The bee turks near the blossom
Watch out, Bobwhite!

Reform Needed in Expert Testimony


New York Worldly
The Court of Appeals has just given an
other hard blow to the present methods
Of rendering to juries the testimony OF
experts III handwriting.
Robert G. Hopkins's signature to will
found after his death was defaced by
fourteen ordinary straight marks down
vertically through it. A handwriting ex-
pert testified in the lower court that these
fourteen marks were not made by the
same hand that wrote the signature to the
will. This pretension of a professional
photographer to tell one pan-stroke from
another even where there were no letter
formations TO be compared led Justice
John Woodward to write an opinion
strongly dissenting from the decision of
his collea cues on the bench of the appel
which he said:
1.-The admission of this testimony is but
another instance of the abuse of expert
evidence. So notorious is it becoming
that if it is not checked it seems to me
that reaction must eventually come that
will abolish such testimony altogether
The Court of Appeals upholds Justice
Wocdward's view and rejects the experts
testimony as worthless. And this hap
pens in the same week in which Justice
Lambert. in summing up the MolincuS
case. said:
III the peoples case stood on handwrit-
Ing alone it would never so to the jury
