LAW EXAMINATIONS
ARE TOO SEVERE

OLD POINT, VA. Special.-That the
examinations of the Virginia Board of
Law Examiners should not be so hard
ana that a conference be called to make
them easier were the suggestions made
in resolutions offered at the Vir-
ginia Bar Association meeting by
mond.
At the recent examinations, it was
pointed out, most of the applicants had
failed to pass. Mr. Patterson declared
that he doubted if n majority of the
members of the association could pass
the last examination prepared by the
examining board.
Because some seemed to think that
the resolutions Were too drastic they

viii report upon them at the next regu-
, lar meeting of the association.
The resolutions were as follows:
Resolved. That the recent bar eN-
animation given at Roanoke, Va, was
more difficult than it should have been
and did not constitute a fair test of
the fitness OF the applicants for admis-
sion to the bar.
Resolved. further, That the rule
which requires an unsuccessful appli-
cant at the examination in June to
wait twelve months before being al
lowed another trial is unreasonable
and should be abolished.
Resolved. That the committee on
legal education and admission to the
bar be instructed 10 confer with the
Court OF Appeals in respect to the
foregoing conditions. and endeavOr, IL
possible, to correct the same as to the
future"

The craze for gold trimmings and

marked characteristics of the season.

dress of white silk muslin trimmed
with the new embroidery namely.

muslin and applique upon the silk

simple embroidery is having a great
success among the best dreSsInakers.
The Overdress leaves the gold cOlored
satin uncovered for a width Of a few
inches down the front. and the en-
broidery trims it at either side. II is

screamed the louder as the flames
shot out of the window at her:
Save him, My dear little Pete!"
Firemen clambered up ana she adj

years. In 1909 four or five excep-
tionally skilled airmen did take $50

three exceeded this sum by perhaps
$4,000. But. in the main. the avia-

BOOTLEGGLNG MULE
PUZZLE TO OFFICERS

MUSKOGEE, ALA, Special.-What
shall the Federal Government do
with a pack mule that makes regu-
lar trips across the line out of old In
dian Territory, gets its pack filled
with liquor and goes back again to
distribute its supply to regular Gus
toners? This problem was laid be-
fore the United States District AttOr-
ney here. The information stated that
the Bookkeeping mule made its trips
without a pilot and that the name of
its owner and of those persons who
supplied the liquor was unknown.
The mules field of operations is
along the line between Creek county,
in the old Indian Territory, and Payne
county, in what formerly was Okla
homa Territory and where the Fed
eral liquor law does not apply.
Someone in Payne county Is said to
load the mules pack, whereupon the
animal returns across the line, stop
ping at certain farmhouSes, where the
farmer takes out his bottle and drops
the money into the pack. y special
Investigation will be made to ascer-
tain the power higher up" than the
