New Cult Comforting

The American people have made
another big mistake, though thiS

Everybody knows that doctors dif-

a revolution in thought. The man

Appeals of the District of Columbia.
Many claims regarding public lands
come before the general land office. In
the Treasury Department many legal
matters arise in which the controller
is concerned, and the bureau OF in
ternal ravenue, charged with the en-
forcement of prohibition. narcotic
laws and internal revenue laws, must
settle numerous legal controversies.
In all cases, of course, the courts are
final arbitrators If the contestants
elect to appeal.
Extensive LAW Libraries.
Not only does the law student have
the opportunity to visit and observe
the work of these various depart
ments, but he has access in this city
to some Of the country's most extern
sive libraries. The Library Of Con-
e,ess contains more than a million
volumes and has law library Of
more than 100000 books. There is
also a large law library at the Capitol
and numerous other law libraries In
the government departments. That
of the Department Of Justice is. un-
fortunately. not open to the public.
The law schools themselves have ex-
cellent libraries, Georgetown's col
lection numbering more than 10000
volumes and George washington
more than $500.
About five thousand students grad
uate annually in this country as law
yers. Approximately 700 OF these
matriculate each year from local in
stitutions. There are in the United
States some 10000 lawyers. the Dis
trict of Columbia having about 1900
practicing attorneys. Teachers OF
law in Washington number nearly
200. Last June more than 400 stu
dents took the bar examination OF the
District of Columbia, about 20 per
cent passing. Although it may seem
that the legal profession is tending
to become overcrowded, lawyers are
needed today as never before. Be-
sides, as Lincoln said, there Is always
room at the top. The study OF law is
an engrossing pursuit and the facili-
ties for such study are at their best
in Washington.

this association is now planning

"Our method of doing business"
says Mr.. Estes, is in marked con-

not merely open an office and wait
for buyers to come to us. We ad-
yertise far and near for buyers

CONFERENCE ON
STRIKE ISSUES
DELAYED TODAY

New York, April S.-Union rep
resentatives and delegates from
the coal operators, who have been
In session as wage negotiations
committee, suspended their con-
ferences today and returned to
their respective districts. 1t was
announced that they would re-
sumo sessions Tuesday, when their
efforts to bring about settlement
Of the strike will be renewed.
The basis on which operators
will conduct their fight for wage
reductions was outlined today by
S. D. Warmer, president of the
Lehigh Coal & Navigation COM
pany. He asserted, however, that
the operators had not yet decided
what percentage of reduction they
will seek to incorporate In the new
anthracite contract.
''The price of coal has reached
a point where the market is
threatened by the competition of
such substitutes as coke, gas, GER
tain grades of bituminous coal,
wood, electricity, which can be
burned more cheaply than anthra-
cite COAL" said Warmer.
what we must have is wage
structure by which we can pro-
duce anthracite and deliver 1t to
the public at reasonable price.
Unless people buy our coal the
mines will be idle part of the
time. A good market will mean
mines in operation the year round.
We believe the miner ought to be
equally interested in producing
coal at reasonable price and
keeping the mines In operation,
for then he is assured full time
wages and higher standard of
living"
John l.. Lewis, president of the
United Mine Workers OF America,
and President Philip Murray,
will continue to maintain head
quarters in New York, they an
nounced today.
Both officials declared that in
view OF the governments failure
to draw the bituminous operators
into wage conference with the
miners, they were "entrenching
themselves for long drawn out
battle" Although reports of yio-
lence were beginning to come In
from the West Virginia fields,
their organizers will continue to
invade the enemy territory to form
new unions and close down more
non-union mines" they said.

PREST-O-LITE PRICE
ON BATTERIES SLASHED

The lowered price list on Pres
O-Lite batteries, all types, is now
in effect, and there is ample evi-
dence that motorists generally are
deeply interested in this latest
drive of the Prest-O-Lite factory
to bring battery prices down
Since the reduction was an
nounced, the force at Farris Bros.
local service station of the Prest-
O-Lite here have been travelling
at top speed to accommodate the
rush of business.
This latest price reduction can
be taken to mean that the high
levels of the past have been defi-
nitely and permanently relegated
to the past and the new prices are
standard.
"The Prest-O-Lite Company,
Inc, announcement created more
than a little excitement along
automobile row. For years this
company has always taken the
lead in price revision on standard
types, not special types, but moth
ing as sweeping was expected. l
have received the assurance of my
company that quality will not be
lowered with the new prices. In
fact, Prest- -O-Lite batteries are
better today than ever before.
That is proved by the way they
stand up in, service right here in
Salem. There have been various
so-called battery specials offered
during the past few months at
cut prices, but this is bona fide
reduction OF the entire line OF one
of the best known and most exten-
sively bought standard batteries
