CHANGES HERE
Ratio to Population Shows
Unique Advantages offered
In Capital.

The ratio Of law students to popula-
ton In the District OF Columbia 10
twenty times greater than the ratio
of law students to population through
the United States as d whole. This
abnormal ratio Is obviously due to
the great number Of persons who come
here from out Of the city to study
law. They are attracted by the
unique advantages offered by the city
OF Washington to young men and
women pursuing legal education.
Congress, the courts. and the various
ad administratives branches Of the Gov.
ernment give opportunity for first.
hand study Of governmental ma
chinery.
The city. moreover, offers to ca.
pable men. and women employment
Of a sort that Is compatible with
scholastic work. In almost every law
school In the United States there
are mon who earn part or all Of
their expenses and II is q matter OF
common remark that these employed
men are among the very best stu
dents.
In Washington a large number of
positions are available in which men
Of this sort can earn their livelihood
and pursue law study at the same
time. COMPARISONS Of the records
made by students who do no work
other than studying law with the
records Of those who are doing out.
side work indicate that the latter are
attaining averages quite as high a.
the former. The significance OF this
comparison should not, however. be
misunderstood. II does not mean
that outside work rs no handicap 70

equal, the unemployed student has

Wastes Little Time.
The above comparison simply
means that unemployed students are
overcoming their handicap by max
ing up in earnestness and ability
what they lack in time. The en-
ployed student generally works by q
schedule and wastes none Of his time
II is not uncommon for a student who
does no work besides studying law to
fritter away as much time each
nlb WIN outoAac
employment devotes to his outside
work. The necessity Of supporting
ones self does not. therefore, put an
insurmountable barrier in the way
of a young man or woman ambitious
to study law. Many students in
Washington, who could afford not 70
engage in outside work are tempted
by the example Of others to seek
suoh employment. This Is probably
q mistake on thelf part. A Law
student should realize that he is
entering a profession which has little
to offer to q mediocre, half.prepared
man. but which offers q splendid
career to the man who 10 thoroughly
prepared and able to excel, A stu
dent should build carefully and thor
oughly from the time he Tanters law
school. There 10 no limit to the
amount Of time and thought he can
profitably spend on legal study.
His progress depends on his owr
efforts. The law school provides the
student an opportunity to ground
himself in the fundamental principles
o. law, and a student should have
time to make the most OF that oppor,
tunity. II a student skins through
school without mastering those prin.
ciples. the chances are that he never
viii master them. The chances are
that he never win become q profound

SHERIFF NEWMAN
 "RIZ" THE PRICE OF
 PRUNES, AT HOLBROOK

If the price of dried prunes hasn't "riz" in Holbrook lately there is noth- ing in the law of supply and demand. The demand for them must have been enormous and our efficient sheriff and his deputy cornered enough of them last Saturday to last a New York boarding house for sixteen years.
 They, still referring to the prunes, were long past their usefulness as ta- ble fruit but were just acquiring the kick necessary to satisfy those who, to paraphrase an old saying Hook up- on the mule when it is white." More than that you could smell them a mile.
 On last Friday the sheriff discov- cred the still, very crude home made affair, the principal parts of which seemed to be ian old keg with five gallon oil can with a spout, some bent copper tubing and half baked tortilla. No, Susan. The tor tilla was not for you to bite on. It was merely a crude manner of re- taining the steam. When not in use the whole contraption was concealed beneath the bedroom floor.
 The mash from which the delectable @ nectar was drawn was most art fully concealed.
 The sheriff took the reporter into rock house, dirt floor, and said:
 "The barrels are here. Look around. Do you see 'em?"
 We looked and we didn't, which lat CT we admitted and in so doing proved ourself no sleuth. A couple of shovels yielded most effectively by Mir. Newman and MT. o. c. Williams soon turned back about ten inches or dirt on the room floor and there in a tarpaulin covered crypt, were more stewed? - beg pardon, meant to say soaked prunes than we ever saw in

the rights under this original permit were extended, and validated by the action of the Federal Power Commis- sion shortly after its formation, when Secretary of War Baker, Secretary Payne and Secretary of Agriculture Meredith were members of the board. Those who contend that the United States cannot now block construction on this project contend that all the original rights were confirmed by the action of the first Federal Power commission, and that not even con- gress can revoke such a permit with out reimbursing the holders for the amount for which they might be dam aged.
 Members of the commission and other officers of the government inter- ested do not seem to fear legal com pulsion to carry out the provisions of the Diamond Canyon permit, but others do not share this view. Unconfirmed rumors are in circulation that the Southern California Edison company has made or is making an arrangement with Grand and his as- sociates to carry forward the work if possible and construct immediately a 250, ,000-horsepower electric plant to furnish power for some of the big gest mines in Arizona and New Mex leo and the electricalo loperation of DOT tions of the Santa Fe Railroad. Those opposing any construction un- der this permit state that such an op- eration would interfere with the de- velopment of the larger plant at Boul- der Canyon to be constructed by the United States. If such dam is con- structed the potential electrical en- ergy would approximate from $50, ,00O to 100000 horsepower.
 Those opposing the development of the Diamond Canyon project claim that not only would such an operation physically interfere with the Boulder Canyon project, but that it would de- prive the United States of very large initial market for it's electrical power, and interfere with logical f. nancing of the greater project.
 All of the fat is likely to get into

FORGETS HAWAII IS
 UNITED STATES TERRITORY

HONOLULU, T. H. - Another mis- conception of the status of the Ha- waiian territory as part of the United States came to light here with the receipt of communication by a local bank from the collector of in ternal revenue at Washington, return ing a check on the bank, "because Ha- waiian Islands are not in the United States"
 The commissioners letter requested that "the matter be adjusted at once" " and called attention to the fact that check for any obligations to the United States must be "paid at par"
 The banks reply after commenting on the fact that many financial in- stitutions, especially along the At lantic coast, have attempted to charge as high as 10 per cent exchange on checks payable in this territory on the ground that Hawaii is "a foreign country"

TROUBLE LOOMS FOR
 COLORADO PROJECT

WASHINGTON. -- What may de- velop into serious complication af- fecting the control of the Colorado river and the construction of a great electric plant and flood control dam at Boulder canyon may be precipita- ted by the owners of permit for the development of a smaller power plant at Diamond Canyon, short distance above Boulder Canyon.
 It is said here that counsel for the original owners have been engaged to force the United States to permit construction under the original per init regardless of the Boulder Canyon development. It is impossible to cen firm this statement at the present but James B. Girand, the original ow- ner of this permit, has been in Wash ington for several days, and has had frequent conferences on the validity of his permit and the privileges guar anteed to him by its issuance. Some of the highest legal authorities on land laws are said to hold that the United States cannot revoke this per plCNCut iuC VI power plants under it's provisions.
 Secretary Fall, however, has been authorized by the President and the members of the Cabinet after discus sion in Cabinet meeting to make g formal statement that no work will be permitted under this original permit until the whole Colorado River matter is dosposed of on comprehensive scheme. Those who believe that the original permit cannot now be re- voled or right to construction and power development be denied, contend that by legal authorization the gov ernment can be compelled to permit construction forthwith.
 They point out that this power right was secured long before the creation by law of the Federal Power commis- sion. and that the rights granted have not lapsed. It is also contended that

WEEKS STANDS FOR CARRYING OUT OF MORAL OBLIGATION
Thinks Alabama Company Should Be Given 0ppor- tunity to Buy Warrior

Fly Associated Press

Washington, February 1.-The opinion that the government was morally obligated if not legally bound 10 the Alabama Power company was expressed today by Secretary Weeks in commenting upon options claimed by that concern on properties involv- d in the negotiations to sell or lease the Muscle Shoals, project to Henry Ford, in event his offer is accepted by Congress.
 The secretary agreed with state ments before the House military committee, made by Major General Williams, chief of ordnance, that a moral responsibility rested upon tha government and the power company should be given an opportunity to purchase the properties concerned. in- cluding the Warrior steam plant and transmission line. in the event Con- -ess authorized their disposal to private interests.
 Col. John Hull, acting judge ad- Yocate general, remained firm in his opinion. however, that there was no legal claim which could be exercised by the company and the options were nonenforceable
 The secretary said that although the company had declared it's inten- ton to exercise the options. he had not heard of any threats ef litiga- tion. It was understood that if Colonsi Hulrs recommendation to the conn mirtee were followed out and the government instituted condemnation proceedings against the lands owned by tho power company in order to give Mir.
