him the king-pin of pickpockets, and that pleased him immeasurably.
 His work as alien property cus- todian being practically finished, he was recently appointed Attorney Gen eral of the United States. But he has refused office as often as he has ac- cepted. He refused the post of Secre- tary of War in Mir. Wilson's first cabinet. He subsequently refused a judgeship of the court of claims. While he was alien property custo- dian he refused a place on the su- preme court bench of Pennsylvania paying S15,000 year and practically a life appointment It was rendered under exceptionally flattering circum- stances by republican governor upon the unanimous recommendation of the members of the court, most of whom were republicans.
 MT. Palmer became-Attorney Gen eral during the most important period in the history of that great office, war are for the most part unsettled and perhaps greater problems of re- construction are just beginning to arise.
 MT. Palmer is lawyer of first rank, but not mere lawyer. He is a man Of affairs, too, and a construc- tive student of politics. He is a man of wonderful boise and splendid judg- ment-direct, positive and powerful a natural leader of men. He is a splendid speaker It will be a treat to hear him.

Tn, responses to roll call will be Public Health Questions" and in addition tt the two papers. the subjects of whicf are, "The Necessity of Improving Pres ent Health Conditions" and .Impor. tanue of Health Campaigns Dr. E. P Lacey will make talk to the members along the line of thought suggested by the topic for the afternoon. All members are urged to attend.
 The tragic accident that happened Sat urday afternoon when Cy Russell and Clarence Crotwell met their deaths, caused, it is believed, by the reckless driving of automobiles and the opening of West Lake park this week. has served to remind citizens along the route to the park of the speeding of the cars during past seasons, and to dread a repetition of the speeding and the possible conse- quences. This is especially true of citi- zens living on Fourth avenue and also on Eighteenth street. During the sum- mer season, especially on Sundays and holidays, constant stream of cars travel on these streets. and it is stated that much reckless driving of cars is the cause of great uneasiness among the cit izens.
