 o. Is Chester Conkln married? Some how, he lets himself be abused so much in the films that I think he must be used to It. Esther Corelle, New York city.
 A. We will have to sidestep this by admitting that while we do not know whether MT. Conklin is in the matri- monial market or not, we do know that he has beans to sell Yes, he has a nice bean ranch, or maybe it's bean orchard, we are not up on Boston's pride. How ever, he's not unhappy and downtrodden except in films, so why worry him?

CANNOT EMPLOY ATTORNEYS

Solicitor Black also sent the following statement to County Treasurer Henry citing the section of the act in reference to the county attorney:
 "February 20 1917. MT. M. V. Henry. Treasurer of Jefferson County, Birmingham Ala.
 Dear Sir: As requested by your office and owing to the statutory duties imposed upon me of giving you written opinion on all matters connected with your office, 1 desire to state that in my judgment the board of revenue of Jefferson county hes no power to employ attorneys to rep resent 1t in cases where the county may have an interest, for the reason that this duty Is expressly imposed upon the solici- tor of Jefferson county by section two (O of the act creating the office of the coun- ty solicitor, and by numerous other stat utes unnecessary herein to set out. The acts of 1915 also provide that 1t shall be the duty of all county and circuit solicit ors to give written opinions to all coun- ty officers when requested by them so to do. Consequently it would be my judg- ment that the board of revenue of Jeffer- son county could not employ an attorney and pay him out of the county funds, to perform these duties specifically im- posed upon an officer elected by tho peo- pie Very truly yours.

 February 20, 1917. Board of Revenue of Jefferson County,
 Birmingham, Ala.
 Gentlemen: Feeling sure that you de- sire to save any unnecessary expense in the administration of the affairs of the county of Jefferson, I hereby direct your attention to the fact that it is my duty and that of my assistants to represent the state and county in all cases where the state or county may have an interest," and it is likewise my duty to give to you ana all other puDllc orlcerS or this coun- ty written opinions touching any subject upon which inquiry may be made of me. Under these laws, and by reason of the recent opinion of the supreme court in the case with reference to the office of the solicitor of Jefferson county, which laws and which opinion impose upon me the duty of representing the county, I deem 1t wise to suggest to you that all suits in which Jefferson county may be interested should be handled by my of flee After Investigating the law, I have reached the conclusion that the board of revenue of this county has no authority to employ any other attorney and pay said attorney out of any county fund for the reason that there is' an officer provided by law whose duty it Is to rep resent the county.
 'I shall be glad to serve you in the capacity of attorney, which the duties of my office require me to perform. Very truly yours, HUGO l.. BLACK,
