paying rent. Many are paying cash
for their lots and will build at once.
Others are purchasing on monthly
terms and will be in a position to

The amount of home building in

building operations in the history of
Arlington county. Since the begin
ming of favorable weather, she says,
hardly day has passed that ar
rangements have not been concluded
for the erection OF one or more
homes. Within another month, prac-
tically every block and every street
will have its quota Of carpenters and
masons at work, she believes.

THE WORK
BY e. w. GILES

An important part Of a work is its
beginning. "Well begun is half
done" In beginning work do not
berate your predecessor, but on the
contrary treat his faults with silent
~and prayerful sorrow. In beginning
a work, do not talk about what big
things you are going to do, but on
the contrary quietly study the situa-
ton and accept conditions as they are
and improve them constructively as
fast as you can.
An important part Of work is the
work itself throughout, and mans
devotion to it. The best man on the
lob always has a job and is always
wanted on the job, and if by any
means he is thrown out of a job there
will be other jobs awaiting him.
An important part Of a work is its
closing. Gall is well that ends vel"
In closing work, keep mum and
keep sweet no matter how hard it
may be. If you establish q reputa-
ton for closing a work in the midst
of disturbing circumstances it will be
a hard blow to you. Your reputa alton,
whether good or bad, in these and
other matters is like your shadow, It
follows you.

QUICK ACTION NEEDED
December 18th Last Day to Apply
for Training.

A Montana ex-service man was dis
charged from the Army with a severe
heart condition. Due to the serious
ness cf his ailment he was unable to
resume his former occupation at tele-
phone lineman. Having no knowl-
edge of any other trade less hazard
Gus that he might follow in spite of
his disability, he had, after two years
financial obligation.
Although his heart trouble con-
tlnued to grow no worse it had been
a II ysical impossibility to hold for
an fength of time the manual labor
ing jobs which he had essayed. His
home, purchased with pre-war
savings, was threatened with a mort
gage foreclosure and his family were
even being denied at times the bare
necessities Of life. ~
Hearing of the advantages offered
to veterans whose war disabilities
prevented their returning to their
former vocations, he submitted an ap-
plication to the Veterans Bureau
showing by affirmative proof that his
heart condition was a result of the
hardship and exposure endured while
he was in France. HIS claim was
favcrably considered and the young
man advised into bookkeeping
course with the ultimate objective Of
accountant. All cost of tuition,
books. and supplies is being born by
the Government and the maintenance
allowance of $145. per month for his
wife and child during his course will
save all financial worries.
There is a provision in the law I'M
der which this veteran qualified which
states that December 18th is the last
date which applications will be re-
ceivsd. He submitted his case just
in time.
There may be others with similar
cases. Get busy! A letter postmark-
ed December 18th, stating, they have a
claim will be considered as filing
same. ...7. 4

court should be rigidly enforced. lie
advocated n much quicker action on
appeals and the granting of bail in
very few cases.
Solicitor J. X. Henry of Chester said
he wanted to see the courts stand
firmly by the laws. He was not IN
favor of radical changes, but thought
some beneficial ones could be made
especially in regard 10 jury service.
He declared the state ought to he put
on an equal footing with the defend
ant in drawing the jury and advocated
taking the duty of drawing the Venires
out Of politics. He also favored the
selection of the men who are to serve
on the iuries in secret so the "spider
lawyers" would not interfere with JUS
t!ce. He also was against the grant
ing of bail so often and spoke of the
matter of delayed appeals. Mr.. Henry
said he did not think the governor
Should have the light to interfere with
the verdcts of the courts, the pardon
ing OF so many criminals being all
wrong, according to his opinion. "The
people are getting so they don't even

clared.

abuse of this right to a large extent.
The right is not questioned, but it is

peals to the supreme court which went
over for several years. He would not
abridge or limit the right, but would
! have changes made in the law so as
to make it self executing. In this
way if an appeal was not completed

very much in favor OF fewer eSernp-
tions for jury duty. saying that all the
more intelligent men generally sue
ceeded in evading this service.
Mr.. Thomas was also very much in
terested in the matter of fewer eX-
emptions, declaring that 1--WE ought TO
keep so many buns off the juries' and
that "the jury boxes are filled every
year with the scum of the earth"
Solicitor Spears - contradictcd the
statement Of others in regard to the
crime of the state. He said there
were fewer murders now in COMPARE
son to the population than 20 years
ago and more convictions now than
decade ago.
After extending a rising vote oil
thanks 10 Mr.. Thomas for his address
and to Attorney General Wolfe for
bringing the solicitors together, the

of Dave W. Smoak of Grecnvile, were

sentence would automatically begin,
Mr.. Hydrick said. He was against
giving the criminal the big end OF
the rope" but wanted the criminal to
have the burden of perfectins the ap-
peal and keeping it before the court
rather than the solicitor. In cases OF
the death sentence he would not nave
the defendant brought before the
Judge for resentencing, but leave him
in the penitentiary and let the jury
certify the sentence to the state peni-
tentiary. He also advocated changing
the law so as to allow the supreme
court TO resentence the criminal when
an appeal is dismissed iE a. death
case.
Humanity Idea.
Solicitor ]. Monroe Spears said he
differed with many OF the solicitors,
declaring that he was glad the law
was progressing with everything else
He favored the court assuming the at
titude of a fOrgiving and helping
father to an erring son rather than n
harsh, inhuman attitude. If conf
dence is instilled into the people tnat
the courts will give justice, no further
trouble will be experienced, Mr.. spears
said. He was against furnishing the
ignorant man severely when this man
had not had the chance TO learn bet
ter, but, on the other hand, favored
more punishment for the man who
had had the advantages of life. Mr.
! Spears spoke highly Of the lawyers
in his circuit, declaring that he never
had trouble with appeals or JurieS
