nerve to decide a case against her"
John d. Martin, dean of the law de-
partment, said: THE presence of a
woman in law class, in my opinion
necessarily restricts the progress of
the work. For instance, there are
many times when some of the points
of Jurisprudence must be illustrated by
a story, and with the fair sex present
extreme care would have to be exer
cised in selecting the story. recall
an instance when the professor of
law class was getting along fine until
a pretty girl student looked up and
smiled at him, and then thezAump was

business is steadily expanding. Rel
cent crop reports have not been quite
as satisfactory as last month, August
usually being period of deteriora-
ton. Nevertheless, the outlook is for
the biggest corn crop on record, and
the wheat crop is turning out much
better than expected. The dry goods
trade is in very satisfactory condition,
and large fall trade is fully antici
pated under profitable conditions, al
though buyers are wisely pursuing a
conservative course in view of the pre-
vailing high level Of prices. The iron
industry continues active and the pro-
duction of pig iron in August promises
to be the largest on record. Construc-
ton work of all sorts is being active
ly pushed in nearly all parts Of The
country, and labor is generally well
employed at good wages.
