Decision in Trust Co.
Case Helps Lawyers
Ruling Settles Question In
volving Corporation Attor-
neys and Clients

The decision OF the Appellate Divi-
sion Of the Supreme Court in the case
Of the People agt. the Title Guarantee
and Trust Company, which has estab-
lished that the drawing OF legal in
struments by title and trust companies
is a violation Of the law. caused consid-
cradle comment among lawyers Of New
York yesterday.
Members Of bar associations have
been trying TO get a definite ruling on
this subject. The test case was brought
by the BROOKLYN Bar Association.
Justice Blackmar held that it was i'm
possible for a lawyer employed by a
corporation 10 serve a client in draw
ing up a deed, since he necessarily owed
loyalty TO his employer as well as TO
the person for whom the deed was be-
ing drawn.
"This reason" he said. applies not
only to services OF attorney and coun-
sci in the matter Of litigation. but 10
those other services which are usually
performed by lawyers which involve
professional trust and confidence.

Tale" Lives as Word
For 5000 Years

In an editorial discussion of the old
est written word, the Interstate Medi-
cal Journal declares il 10 be a word
meaning ice or snow. which in various
places takes the sound OF thalg, saly
and tale. Here is the writer's argu-
mcnt:
How many. il asked what is the old
est written word found in an eNtant
document and still in use-not, mark
you, the oldest root-could answer cor
rectly? And Yet the word is one
appearing frequently in our adyertis-
ing columns. and it is the name OF a
therapeutic agent and toilet article in
common use.
In the Office copies Of the letters and
instructions given TO the ENJOYS of the
hereto King Of Egypt. Akhenaton
(Amenophis w. in the fourteenth
century, h. C., which Office copies were
discovered AT Tel-el-Amarna. there
occurs passage which was read as
follows:
I'VE hone that the sale will not III
terfere with you"
Il was taken for granted that sale"
was the name of some warlike tribe
in the hills Of northern Syria; but il
was remarkable that the tribe, power
ful enough TO brave the wrath OF such
great monarchs as those between whom
this correspondence was passing,
should not be mentioned in any other
Of the voluminous records OF those
times.
Pondering this. a philosopher re-
membered that :, IN and were inter

the semitic languages a word for ice

Ell Paso Has Champion War Garden of World
Beans Crown On Land Worth $40 Square Foot

set on foot by prominent men Of the
southwest, and carried to such a. sue
cessful conclusion that agriet1IturaI
experts Of the state Of New Mexico
estimate that the planted acreage in
that state alone has been fncrsa sed
80 1-3 percent. and as most of the in
crease is in beans II means r1iiiioDs
of dollars worth of the snIandid
vegetable food, capable of CARVING a
man through more strenuous effort
pound for pound, than any other veg
etable growth.
Worlds Champion War Garden
It is said that the New York heads
Of the great corporation are as nroud
of their war garden as are the of-
ficials on this end responsible for II
and they are greatly pleased al the
tremendous effect for good the ex-
pertinent had. Under the circum-
stances they express a willingness to
raise another four dollar crop of
beans, or something else, on four
hundred thousand dollars worth of
ground. and absorb twenty four thou
sand dollars worth of interest while
they are doing II. .
But II is some war garden. So far
as known 1t is the champion war gar
den OF the world, and from the way
property values continue to increase
in that section of the city it will
continue to be the champion war
garden as long as it remains planted
in beans.

road that some people call the worst
ever" will tell you about it.
Mr.. Wolf and I left FL Paso Sun
day. Nay 10. in my Oldsmobfle and
drove to Deming. n. N. We found the
road generally very rough and slow,
N Iact as much so as any similar dis
lance between Deming and San Diego
The track was full Of little and big
holes and the stress on both car and
passengers was certainly fierce.
From DemIng West.
The next morning (Monday) with
c. H Lester and son, Roy. in their
Stutz as guides and pace makers, this
tenderfoot started his first long drive
toward the Pacific OF this days
drive there is not much to relate. We
drove via Hachita and found the road
quite good to ROdeo, except a short
piece of rough road near Hachita.
From Rodeo to Tombstone the road
was line except about three miles
Just beyond the Tombstone canyon,
where the new state highway is be-
ing built
On these fine roads We could not
keep up with the pace maker, but Mr..
Lester would stop and wait occasion
ally for US. He seemed perfectly good
natured about II, too, except once
when We let two niggers driving a tin
Lizzie pass US.
Going out of Bisbee I had my first
experience with that peculiar optical
illusion that sometimes in the noun
tains makes a road appear almost
level when in fact there is a heavy
grade As We wound out and in

road 1 was sure my clutch was slip
ping, because I could not drive that
road on high gear.

During that day we stopped at Ha-

stopped and ate breakfast at The
