bar ASSOCIATION
MEETING CLOSES
Recommendation for Addi-
tionaI Two-Year College
Education Adopted.

Recommendations of the American
Bar Association that future members
of the bar be required to have at
| least two years college education in
addition to their regular law school
work were adopted as the closing
work of the conference of bar asso-
Citations of the country at Memorial
Continental Hall late yesterday after
noon.
This action of the conference places
the various bar associations partici-
pating under the moral obligation of
striving to have this educational
standard set up in their states and
universities.
A resolution asking that state bar
associations be empowered to es;ab-
! iish their own regulations for ad-
missiS.I to the bar was defeated.
Elihu Root took the floor. amid much
| discussion, and rapidly put the cele-
gates into frame of mind in which
they approved the two years of COL
lese education qualification practic-
ally unanimously.
Mr. Root Makes Appeal.
Mr.. Root made a stirring appeal. in
which he asked the delegates from
, state, county and city bar associations
from all parts of the country not to
permit the 'illustrious examples of
the successes of the past" to block the
Z.
The speaker painted conditions
| under which he declared it is possible
for crooks and blackmailers to ''prac-
tice fraud under the protection of a
shingle.''
A banquet at the New willard Hotel
last night brought. the gathering
formally to close. Attorney Gener-
al Daugherty. Senator George Whar-
ton Pepper of Pennsylvania. William
L. Frierson. former solicitor general
of the United States. and Cordenio A.
Severance, president of the American
Bar Association, spoke.
The general topic of the speakers
was that of legal education, all ex-
pressing approval of any effort thar
might tend to raise the standards of
the American bar. Attorney General
Daugherty said that the ambition of
the Department of Justice is 10 be
helpful in. installing "a judiciary
which shall be a credit to America
and American institutions. and 10 the
profession to which we are all proud
to belong"
Enemies Of LAW md Order.
Enemies of law and order are more
active than ever before in sowing
the poisons of iawlessness and un-
sound and experimental theories of
government" the Attorney General
said. They have small portion of
the American press, and likewise their
orators, scattering and propagating
their vicious theories Of government
and casting unjus:ifiable reflections
on men holding public office with the
intent to undermine the confidence of
the people in them. These forces
must be met and combatted."
MIR. Severance, who presided, said
that while the government requires an
emiSrant applying for citizenship to
swear his devotion to the Constitu-
ton. I'VE permit the youth Of our
country to have their uniformed minds
warped by lecturers and professors
who are about as devoted to the Con-
stltution as Lenin and Trotsky"
This condition has been ignored, the
speaker continued. adding that in an
effort to overcome or correct it, the
American Bar Association has taken a
step forward in advocating advanced
requirements for the practice of law,

Miss LedanOis, the lady who was
driving with us this afternoon, is an
old friend Of mine. I've known for
some time that somebody was fleeing

the elder, for he has had the handling
of her affairs for some time past.
Now, however. those papers have given
me the truth. He was straight enough
with her; his son was the man.
HE worked on his father, made his
father sell land owned by Miss Leda-
nois, and he himself reaped the prof

among those papers that give his

THE FLOWERS OF THE LEGION
American Daisy and French Poppy
OFFICIAL Posies Of Both Branches
Of the Organization.

There has been some confusion In
the minds of Americans in general
as to the status of the daisy and the
poppy in connection with the Amerf.
can Legion and the American Legion
Auxiliary. =.
The daisy is the Legion's official
flower; the poppy is the Auxiliary's
memorial flower. The misunderstood
ing arose in the first place, because
in its early days the Legion did adopt
the poppy Of France as its flower.
But at its Kansas City convention the
American Legion adopted the daisy
as it's official flower Oh the grounds
that the daisy is an American flower
and the poppy of Flanders is avail
able for use only in artificial form.
? The Legion Auxiliary has taken ad-
vantage of the very fact that the poppy
Is not available as real flower to buy
artificial flowers made by disabled SOL
>diers in hospitals. The Massachu-
sets Legion and Auxiliary Melted
something over $4,000 from the sale
of artificial peoples, last winter. This
money was used to better the condi-
lions of sick and needy veterans of
the World war. W.
The Legion is making every effort
to interest the children of America in
the cultivation of flowers by appeal
ing to their patriotism and to their
natural affection for such flower as
rho american LegiOn's American
daisy.
