NEED REVISION.

Statues and Rulings Increasing at
Rate Of 1o,s35 Pages Annually
No End OF Law Making
In Sight.
Jefferson CITY.

Jefferson City.
Discussing the necessity for Nilsson
ri code revision. and the multiplicity
OF law books, Secretary of State
Roach gave some interesting statis-
tics.
A lawyer starting in business must
have 434 volumes in his library, TO
possess complete laws OF Missouri
and the many interpretations Of their
meaning. This includes 176 appellate
court reports, 253 supreme court re-
ports, the revised statutes and session
acts issued since revision, numbering
FIVE more volumes. His library must
contain 5,001 printed pages of revised
statutes; 22,335 pages of session acts
(Which will include the complete Sc
ries Of session acts): 122,456 pages
appellate court reports; 1S7,755 pages
of supreme court reports-a total of
B37,547 printed pages.
Figured on a paper.measure, this
means that Missouri has more than
$50 reams, or more than So bales of
law
Up to 1900, the different sessions of
tht legislature had passed 1882 pages
of laws. Since 1900. 3,513 pages have
been issued.
The appellate courts were estab-
lished by the constitution of 1875.
from which date, up to 1900. these
courts have written 53,64s pages of
| decisions. Since 1900, these courts
hoya iSsued 62 $40 napes
The supreme court, from 1920 up to
1900, issued 1oS,391 pages of decisions.
Since 1900, this court has written TO-
! 1854 pages-not including those now in
/ press.
These figures show that the higher
courts, since 1900, are disposing of
approximately four times as much
work as formerly, measuring the re-
suits by printed pages.

Gains Degree of Doctor Of Let
tiers for First Time Since
Its Institution.
o. AsseelArEp rsrssl

PARIS, June s.--For the first time
since its institution in 1903, the De-
gree of Doctor OF eLtters has been
gained by woman The successful
candidate is Mademoiselle Jeanne De-
portal. She comes of a well known
family many Of whose members have
obtained distinction in literature a2d
science. Her father, Henri Duportal,
is a government engineer, and her
grandfather was representative in
the Chamber of Deputies for many
years.
To obtain the degree, candidates
must present two theses. one in Latin
and one in French. The standard
required Is so hight that the distinc-
ton has acquired the reputation of
being one of the most difficult in the
world. Very few students are success
full at the first attempt. The subject
chosen by Nile. Duportal for her theses
was the history of art in the seven
teenth century.
