BAR ADMISSION BARRED NONE IN
 GOOD OLDEN DAY

The recommendation of Judge Smith of Yavapai county for more rigid requirements for admission tc the bar of this state recalls a story of a time when there was almost no requirement at all. There was formal procedure consisting of the appointment by the judge of the dis triot "ou~- 5ahere application for ad- mission was made of a committee Of three members to examine the ap- plicant. This examination always took place on the spur of the moment and after a few simple elementary questions were asked. a favorable re- port was made to the court
 In one town whose name shall not be named a man had for @ long time been studying under a lawyer for ad- mission to the bar. The preceptor became convinced that he could never prepare his pupil to pass muster at any sort of an examination. Then he thought of a plan that required some cooperation. He prepared a list of questions with their answers and had the pupil commit both lists to memory. In few days the pupil became letter perfect if the question were put to him in regular order. ! But if his preceptor skipped about he fell down.
 ! To carry out the program it became 1 necessary to take in two other law yers. There was only one other in the town whom the preceptor cared l to trust in a matter of this sort. ! The latter entered into it as a joke, l with enthusiasm. He was given a copy of the list. A third list was made up for still another lawyer who would have to be taken in.
 Some days thereafter the judge was holding court in a small county where lawyers were few and where there was little business. The two lawyers and the applicant were on hand and one other lawyer of the little town. The latter was taken into confidence and given a copy of the list. Then a motion for the admission of the ap- plicant was offered. The court ap- pointed committee of three, the only three lawyers present, on eXamina- tion, which took place in the presence of the court in the afternoon.
 In the meantime the lawyers had divided the list into three parts. One propounded the questions in his part and they were promptly answered without the batting of an eye or the turning of a hair. Only once was there a bungle, when one of the ques- tiOns was asked out of order and the wrong answer was given. But that escaped the attention of the court.
 The court having heard the exami- nation. no report was necessary, and at the close of it, the applicant was admitted. The cout said: T desire to congratulate NJ on the re- suit of the examination which has disclosed close application and an ability to master the intricacies of the law I have been associated with courts as lawyer and presiding judge for more than 40 years and I take occasion now to say that never with in my experience have I seen an ap-
 plicant admitted to the bar who seemed to be so well grounded in the law

 BY MOTORISTS

Is there anything in a name, or in number?
 Possibly, in the case of the latter. At least, some Arizona motor car owners, who for the past twelve months have been struggling with the vicissitudes of the thousand and one ills to which a motor car is heir, have, in their des- peration, laid their jinx to the number of the license under which their car has been travelling and have deter mined to make a change.
 You'll want your old number, of course,' confidently remarked an as- sistant in the office of Secretary of State Sidney P. Osborn yesterday to a a man who had applied for 1918 mo- tor vehicle license and plate. Most of the motor car owners prefer to keep their same license number year after year.
 Indeed not" replied the m. V. o. very emphatically. Indeed not, I'm off that old number. Nothing can induce men to carry it around again on my car. Let somebody else try it. I'm through"

 We're not giving out certificates with | the motor vehicle license plates this year" said Secretary of State Osborn Its just matter of war time econ omy, that's all, and it will save the | state about S1,500.

Recruiting has dropped off almost entirely during the past few days" says Sergeant R. F. Blakeman, in charge of the local marine corps sta tion.
 Sergeant Blakeman says that the spreading of reports, coupled with the misconception of certain persons that no enlistments would be received after December Is, has seriously hampered his hitherto land office business.
 Men may still enlist in the marine corps, providing they can display cer- tificates from their local boards to the effect that they do not go to make up any remaining portion of a contingent certified into the service but not yet sent to the training camps.
