An Old Law Firm.

Ex-Judge Alton B. Parker ad-
dressed the class entering the law
school of Fordham University in
the theatre of St. Francis Xavier
College yesterday.
"Don't, I beg of you, make
your highest aim money!" said
Mr.. Parker. eff money is the on
ly aim of your career, then you'll
find there are other endeavors that
will bring you larger financial re-
ward than the law.
"One of the oldest law firms
known to the world,'' continued
Mr.. Parker, twas that of Marshau
& Son. This firm practiced law
1000 years before the time of Alb
raham. There was found in the
tomb of these lawyers the bill of
sale of a ring for a marriage. The
document was O. K. except that
it needed only a United States
revenue stamp to make it valid.
"That the lawyers of that date
we're willing to have such legal
secrets buried with them instead
of giving them to the morning pa
pers makes a good showing for the
legal profession of that time."-

He talks like a man who has no
