Order.

William G. Johnson, attorney for
Louis Hirsh. has filed in the District
Court of Appeals a petition asking for
the issuance of the courts mandate
TO the District Supreme Court in the
Hirsh-Block case, in which the Ball
rent law was held unconstitutional by
the appellate court. Copies of the
petition have been forwarded to the
three justices of the court, who are
on vacation.
The opinion of the Court of Appeals
holding the law invalid was rendered
June 2 last, and under ordinary cir
cumstances the mandate would have
been sent to the lower court June 81,
but at request of counsel for the
tenant the court stayed the mandate
until further order to give an oppor-
tunity to apply to the United States
Supreme Court for = writ of error.
Since Chief Justice White denied the
application, Attorney johnson points
, out that the mandate should not be
further delayed.
Should the petition be granted
| counsel for the tenant would proba-
bly, ask the lower court to take up
the matter at once and grant final
order for possession. from which they
might begin another appeal to the
District Court of Appeals Effort
| would then be made, it is expected. to
| have the record ready for the re-
| converting of the appellate court in
October and to ask that tribunal to
advance the case and render. it's opin-
ion on the final judgment, SO that a
writ of error might be sought to the
United States Supreme Court early
in the fall term of the highest court.

But One Way to Acquire Wealth.

Wealth is not acquired, as many per-
sons suppose, by fortunate Specula-
tions and splendid enterprises, but by
the daily practice of industry, frugal
ity and economy. He who relies upon
these means will rarely be found des-
titute, and he who relies upon any
other will generally become bankrupt.
