LAWYERS MAY NOT
 APPROVE STANDARD
Those Who Have Attained Places By Hard Work May Frown On
 Plan, Says NcAdOo

Washington, Feb. 24.-Lawyers who have won distinction and high place at the bar through native ability and industry, and without a college educa ton may be expected to offer with a certain degree of hesitancy their ap- proval of the ''eXacting standard which the American Bar association seeks to impose" upon future mem bers of the profession, William G. day before the national conference of bar associations.
 He said he had been unable "to go to a law schoo,' but was obliged at the age of IS to get into the world and make his own living, but that the recommendation of the American Bar association that future members of the profession be obliged not only to take a three year course in a law school but in addition. have at least two years college training, was wor- thy of support by all those interested in the improvement of legal stand ards
 Mr. McAdoo declared that the value of the highest moral and ethic- al standards could not be over-esti- mated when the responsibility of the lawyer was so grave and the function he performs is so vital to the inter- est of the client. Such responsibili- ties, he added, make it necessary that professional education be of the high est standard.

fund, as a friend of the administra- board chairman.
 C. J. Dehm, whose intention of be- coming candidate, was announced several days ago has made no formal statement as yet as to his campaign plans.
 Looks Like Three Way Race
 The entrance of Dehm into the mayoraty race is received as good news by followers of Quigley. Since the former alderman was a friend of Quigley, it was expected that he would be expected to cut deeply into the latter's support. Quigley's cohorts reason, however. that with the antici- pated announcement of Curtis candi- dacy, the primaries will be made a three-way contest. Curtis and Dehm being acceptable to the big interests and the old line republicans. will split the support of those factions, while the interests aside from those will be lined Up with Quigley in sufficient to put his cause across, his followers believe.
 Republicans Confident
 Despite the fact that never before have the democrats made such con- certed effort to bring victory as is the case this year. the republicans still feel that nomination is tantamount to election and that the question as to who will be the next mayor will be settled at the primary
 On the republican side Quigley is looked upon as the man capable of cutting most deeply into the demo- crat lines at the polls while in the democrat ranks, J. M. Halloran, hav- ing been successful at the polls twice before. is regarded as able to engineer he most effective offensive against the -i o. F. lines.

Unfair To Thus Brand Hliterates, Dr. A. F. Winship Of Boston Tells Those At Conference.

Chicago. Feb. 24.-It is unfair for anyone to think of iliterates as ig- norant, Dr. A. F. Winship of Boston, told delegates from 14 states attend ing the illiteracy conference of mid dle west and northern states, meeting here today.
 Every illiterate from the noun tains of Kentucky and Tennessee and the Carolinas was infinitely better skilled to shoot and dodge shots in the world war than United States senators and university presidents" :" he said. Everyone of them was worth more to the army than all their critics when it came to handling fire arms or facing firearms.
 '1n the mountains on the east side of Kentucky and Tennessee and on the west of the Carolinas there have been as good native brains as in Wall street, Harvard, Yale and Princeton.
 The mountaineers can teach grad uate students much that it would do them good to learn. The outside world needs to have these native it. literate adults learn so that they can teach the outside world some of their

 Can Get Quota

Washington, Feb, 24, Declaring the administration in dealing with the reparation commission, President Harding in a letter to Senator Ere, linghuyscn, republican, New Jersey has suggested that some legislative action be taken to permit the United States to get it's quota Of German reparation dyes,
 The presidents views as set forth in the letter were presented today to the senate committee investigating charges of dye monopolies and lob- bies and in connection with an ap- peal of the textile alliance, once the agency for the government in receiv- ing and distributing German dyes al lottcd to the United States as an as- sociate power in the world war for creation of some method by which the receiving of dyes could be resum- ed.

 The presidents letter which was read into the record by Senator Frel- ipghuysen follows.
 'At the moment my judgment is that we will get no effective arrange ment made except through resolu tion by congress. l quite agree that we ought to get the benefit of such reparation credit as might come to us through the German export of dyes to this country, through the reparation commission, and we ought to protect our textile manufacturers against the grant of undue advantage to their competitors in the Old World. It would be easy to do this if congress had not tied the hands of the admin istration in dealing with the repara ton commission. I am writing to suggest that you confer with some of your associates regarding a resolu tion which will deal with the dye question definitely and directly
