Propeller BUILDING.

Ever since Eindmills were first set
up men have been diligently studying
the merits of different propellers. By
the time steamships came to be driven
through the water by rotary blades or
screws their modelling had become a
science. The builders of rotary fans. In
turn. contributed still further to our
knowledge on the subject. Drawing
largely upon all this experience. the
aviator has learned to build fairly eff
fcient propellers, although there is
probably no department of aeronautics
today so little understood.-St Nicho-

How to Pick Lawyer Who Will Win Your Case

Beware OF the lawyer who advertises TO
give advice free of charge. Free advice Is
highly expensive. Quacks and fakirs thrive
on 1t.
Avoid a boasting lawyer.
Avoid lawyer who guarantees the result
OF lawsuit but insists on getting his fee
without giving a written guarantee
Don't have too much faith in the noisy
lawyer who makes a commotion in court
over every little thing. He is an empty bar
rel
II you find your lawyer reckless in his ap-
pontments, profuse in promises and not scru-
pulously truthful, give him up. Shun' and
avoid him
Beware of the conceited lawyer.
There is no genius that knows all the law.
Law is too deep: 1t is a development OF the
ages; fifty lifetmes are not enough even to
read over all the law. Don't consider the
lawyer ignorant because he wants time to
study up q question of law. On the contrary,
appreciate him for desiring to be considerate
and thoughtful.
Because a lawyer lost your case II does
not show that he is not a good lawyer, or
that he did not exert himself sufficiently in
your behalf. Don't blame him until you are
convinced that Il was his fault. Don't in
crease his pain by laying the blame to his
door In most cases he feels more keenly
your loss than you yourself do Don't ag-
gravAte him.
Get the ablest lawyer, If you can AFFORD to
pay him his price; II not, get an honest law
yer. and II able counsel Is required he will
tell you, and in the long run ii will cost you
much less than Il you engaged able counsel

HAT the very great majority Of law
yers will treat their clients right X
given the opportunity is the opinion
expressed by Morris Salem, member OF the
New York Bar, and in his recent book, RE
hections Of a Lawyer" he gives some novel
advice TO clients on the choice OF a lawyer.
BY client, says Mr.. Salem, Is understood
-ne that patronizes the lawyer has conf
dence In him, appreciates his services and
sticks to him. Irrespective OF what the law
yer is. he knows that his principal stock in
trade is the good will OF his clients and their
recommendations. and he can't AFFORD TO ILL
treat a client
Most OF the dishonest lawyers are the
product OF dishonest chents-the demand
creates the supply
II you have an honest lawyer, prize him
highly; but remember that an honest lawyer
does not mean honest TO you and crooked to
your opponent An honest lawyer will very
often disapproye OF your schemes, will ad-
wise you TO pay debts which you would not
like to pay.
Don't be under the impression that because
the lawyer asks for money. because he wants
to be paid, because he wants his fee in ad-
vance, that he is dishonest. All that one ought
70 expect OF an honest lawyer Is that he will
render the services se undertakes. that be Will
try the best he can for the consideration
agreed upon, no more. Make him feel sure
Omaha daily bee., 1911-12-24

that he will reap the fruit he expects for his
labor. Let him not be In doubt.
Don't put the lawyer to temptation. II by
being honest 10 you the lawyer is not paid,
then it is your own fault II some lawyers
are dishonest.
Make inquiries about the lawyer you are
about 10 retain II you have no confidence n
him, or II you doubt your confidence in him,
don't retain him. But once retained, have
implicit faith In him.
Don't bargain with the lawyer, and, IL pos
sible, don't ask him the price for his services
before he renders them or before he becomes
fully aware OF the exact amount OF work
that he may have to perform for you. II you
don't have enough confidence in him that he
will charge you honestly, how can you have
confidence in him that he will treat you hon
estly?
Select a lawyer OF good habits. II your
lawyer is gambler, drunkard, or has con-
tracted other vicious habits, and you know
II. IL will be your own fault II you ever re-
greet having employed him.
Avoid an extravagant lawyer.
Avoid lawyer that has an extrayagant
wife.
II people were careful in the selection Of
their lawyers as much as they are OF their
tailors, many regrets would have been
avoided.
One will very seldom make a loan OF S25
before he Is convinced of the honesty OF the
borrower; he will seldom employ a servant
before getting satisfactory references. But
he will employ a lawyer in a haphazard way.
