Legal Qualifications

ONO is tightening up on its qualifications for ad-
~ mission to the bar.
1t is becoming more generally realized that the legal
profession is learned profession and not to which
anyone may be admitted regardless Of qualifications 1t
is almost important for lawyer to be skilled it is
for a physician to his business Legal matters
are not usually of life and death, but in most
cases they are matters of liberty and property. An
INSCRIPTIONS ignorant lawyer be responsible for
depriving a man of his liberty of his property.
The Constitution of Indiana provides that citizen
of good moral character may practice law No educa-
tional requirements prescribed Time and again
efforts have been made to make the qualifications for
entrance into the bar more stringent Every effort
along this line has failed largely because the public
has showed a lack of interest.
1t would be well for the Legislature to start its
way another constitutional amendment remedy this
It may be successful the next time.

ASKS FORD TO PAY
FOR WIFE'S DEFENSE
Ney B. Ford May Be Forced to Defend
Woman Who is Charged With
Seeking His Death.
fBy Associated Press Leased wire.l

Detroit, Mich. = Ney J. Ford,
wealthy Wayne county farmer today
faced the prospect that he would be
required to pay for the defense of his
wife, May B. Ford, who is charged with
an attempt to hire a gun-man to kill
him.
Attorneys for Mrs. Ford planned to
enter a motion in circuit court that
Ford advance $1,000 for preliminary
attorneys fees and $4,000 for the ex-
pense of the defense should Mrs. Ford
be held for trial at her examination
Friday. Another motion contemplat-
ed was that the Fords' divorce hear
ing be held Immediately.
Financial support of the defense, the
attorneys contended, is a husbands
legal obligation, regardless of the I'M
usual situation in the present case.
Ford's first public statement relat-
ing to his domestic affairs was made
public today.
women and death have been syn
onymous in my two marriage ventures"
he said. when my first wife became
angry she threatened to take her own
life and was kept busy restraining
her. My second wife threatened my
life. I do not know which is worse.
At any rate I'll be single man from
now on"
Hearing in Mrs. Ford's case was adj
vanced on the court docket yesterday
after she elected to remain in jail
rather than attempt to gain her free
dom on reduced bond.
81 am safe here but outside, don't
know what might be plotted against
me-" she was quoted. I
Mrs. Ford is alleged to have attempt
ed to hire a detective posing as a
'gun-man" to kill her husband that
she might gain possession of his es-
tate. She declares the charge is a
"frame-up"s to affect the result of a
pending divorce action.

1854 against only 2,217 in the cor
responding months of last year; to
South America over 5000 against
a little more than 1000 in the same
period of 1921, and to British South
Africa 1850 against 337 last year.
To India there is a material in
crease, but to the extreme Orient,
China, Japan, the Philippines, and
the Dutch East Indies, the number
exported in 1922 is slightly less
than in the corresponding months
of 1921.
These big increases in our ex-
ports of automobiles in 1922 as
compared with 1921 are especially
gratifying in view of the evidence
which they furnish that the foreign
world recognizes the value of this
type of American manufacture and
gives this recognition after a severe
test. The total number of automo-
blles of all sorts exported from the
United States during the decade
ending with 1921 was about $4,000
and their aggregate value a billion
dollars, and the fact that the world
after its thorough acquaintance
with them, including the "acid
test" on the battle fields Ct Europe,
is now doubling its purchases of
our machines when compared with
those of last year, indicates that
it is recognizing the high quality
of this example of the products of
the American factory. The United
States is now producing over three
fourths of the automobiles of the

Protection of
Whales is Needed

London - If the killing of whales
continues at the present rate they will
be exterminated before another decade,
is the warning given by Sir Sidney F.
Hammer, F. R. S., director of the Nat
ural History Department of the British
Museum. Recent Investigations car
ried out in the whaling areas has re-
vealed this alarming condition, he
says.
The whaling industry has survived
since the time of Alfred the Great,
despite the fact that there has never
been a year known when scores of
boats did not leave the ports of Eng
land, France, Spain, and Scandinavia
to hunt the sea animals. Sir Sidney
declared in recent address in which
he urged legislation against further
hunting of whales.
The Greenland variety of the whales
is already thought to be extinct, and
the hunting of the last few years has
been confined almost entirely to the
Southern Seas.
The profits derived from the killing
of these catacoans are enormous, and
they increase yearly as the retail price
of oil and bone decreases. A fair siz-
ed whale has ton of whalebone in it's
mouth, which alone is worth $4,000.
1t also produced about thirty tons of
oil worth about 500 a ton. In the
season of 1855 the oil production
from Antartic whaling stations was
$4,000 barrels, or about $4,000 tons.
During the war this oil was recog-
nized as of vital Importance in the
manufacture of nitro-glycerine. 1t is
now used in the making of soap.
The principal whales caught today
are a species of rorquals, or fin-whales;
the blue whale, and the sperm whale.
The latter, the hunting of which is
principally confines to Americans, not
only give sperm oil, but often con-
tain ambergris, which is sold at 500
AN ounce and used in the perfumery
trade. The oil used for lubricsting
the wheels of watches comes from the
dolphin, and is the finest oil known.
