In the trial of the suit instituted by
the Riggs National bank of Washing
ton against officials Of the United
States treasury department Louis D.
Brandeis of Boston will act as special
counsel for the accused officials. The
bank has accused Secretary of the
Treasury William G. McAdoo. Treas
urer John Burke and Comptroller Of.
the Currency John Shelton Williams Of
conspiracy to wreck 1t.
For many years Mr.. Brandeis has
beer a national figure in American pub
lie life. He is an advocate of social re-
forms. a publicist Of renown. a lawyer
Of distinction. who has served as spe-
cial counsel for the government in
many celebrated cases. Mr.. Brandeis
is regarded as an expert in legislation
and administration efficiency.
While MIR. Brandeis Is largely a prod
uct of New England. he Is not a Yam
kee. He was born Of German-Jewish
parents in Kentucky in 1855. After a
preliminary education IN Germany he
went to Harvard Law school. was q
professor there for awhile and then be-
gan practice in Boston. Soon he was
recognized as one of the most success
full lawyers and acquired one Of the
biggest practices in the city. Although
a man in public life. Mr.. Brandefs is
not in politics. His use Of politics has
been merely as a means to the end Of
pushing social and economic move
ments. Several years ago his admirers
tried to get him to run for mayor OF
Boston on a %nonpartisan ticket. but
failed to get him interested.

Joker Amono. Birds.

The bluejay is a practical joker.
It is his habit to conceal himself in
a mass of leaves near the spot where
small birds are accustomed to gath
er and when they are enjoying
themselves in their own fashion to
suddenly brighten them almost to
death by screaming out like a hawk.
Of course they scatter in every d.
rection, and when they do so the
mischievous rascal gives vent to a
cackle that sounds very much like a
laugh,
