WASHINGTON, April 13- Great applause
from both sides of the House greeted Democrat
ic leader Kitchin today when he began his OPEN
ing statement in behalf of the $1,000, 900
war revenue measure.
II was interpreted as carrying the double meaning
that the bill would pass without serious objection de-
lay and that chance OF Ktchins being deposed as
majority leader for voting against the war resolution
had passed.
After declaring that the measure was most momen-

COUNTY ATTORNEY NO MORE
THE DIVORCE PROCTOR

A copy of the new law ending the
duties of the county attorney as
divorce proctor has been received
by County Attorney Bischoff here.
The old divorce proctor law reQuir-
ed each county attorney to examine
both sides of a divorce suit before
it came up for trial and make a
written report of his findings to
the Judge, who used this report to
some extent in making his decision.
AS the proctor. the county attor-
ney, was not permitted by law to
act as attorney for any clients in
volved in divorce suits, he received
$40 for each case he Investigated.
The only part of the old law re-
tanned by the legislature in the new
one is the clause requiring a di-
,orce suit to be filed 60 days before
trial

Mr.. Parsons and Mr.. White agree

situated it will provide a place for
practice and we will not have to
wait on the weather.

Changes in Courses for Next Year

Changes in Courses for Next Year
Several courses in the present
curriculum will be changed next
year, and also some new subjects
may be offered. Contemporary Life
1 will be studied in connection with
American History instead of with
Economics, as was formerly done
since the events of the time are
more historic than industrial. Also,
the Independent will be used in
American History in place of the
Literary Digest because the former
is considered by the instructors
more thorough in its discussion for
students than the latter. Economics
will be placed in the Commercial
course proper, since it is thought to
be more closely connected with that
course than with any other. In con-
nection with Economics will be a
study Of the Industrial History of
the United States; each branch be-
ing studied one half year. This
course will be offered to Seniors |
only.
The Physics course will be divid-
ed into two classes, one for boys
and one for girls. The boys branch
will follow the present method Of
study; the girls will be course in
Household Physics. Civics will be
whole year instead of half year
subject, first, because enough work
could not be covered in such a short
time, and second since the longer
course can include community civ
les. Also, arrangements are now be-
ing made to try to include year OF
Spanish in next years curriculum.

when newspapers we're printed on paper
stock. Of course, the position had the
opportunity of Willing away the time
between stations by reading some of the
spcier bits in the assortment. but even
position must have had his feelings,
and man can't read that kind Of stuff
az Of the time. and still keep his health.
OF course, there are great many peo-
pie now who write letters because they
like 10. Also. there are some who do 1t
because they feel that they owe it to pos
terity and to their publishers to do so.
As soon as a man begins to sniff
chance that he may become moderately
famous he is apt to brush up on his
letter writing and never send anything
cut that has not been polished and
proof-read, with the idea in mind that
some day some one is going to get all OF
his letters together and make a book OF
them. Apparently. most great men
whose letters have been published have
had premOnition of their greatness when
quite young, as their childish letters
bear the marks of careful and studied
attention to publicity values. One can
almost imagine the budding genius, aged
eight, sitting at his desk and saying to
himself:
"In this spontaneous letter to my
