lean Bar Meeting

Philadelphia, July 9.-Attorney
General Harlan F. Stone, address
ing the annual convention of the
American Bar association last night
declared that Notwithstanding the
Improvement actual and potential, in
our static law" the actual admins
,ration of justice in the United
States was not improving and that
there was multiplying evidence that
it was in u period Of decline, which
began before the world war and was
greatly accelerated by the war.
THAT Decline" he said, "is not
due either to the form or substance
of our legal structure, which has
been steadily improving for gen
Grafton, but it is to be attributed
rather to our failure to develop that
facility in translating legal rules
into actual control of action which
is essential to an adequate legal
system.
1.-The American Bar should take a
positive leadership for Improvement

Testing Battery Polarity

A simple method of determining the
polarity Of a battery or cell, and at
the same time roughly measuring its
trength, is as follows: Dissolve part
i potassium iodide in Is parts of
ter; place the solution in a shallow
sh, soak several pieces of white blot
my paper in it, then remove them
and allow to dry. To use, moisten q
piece OF the prepared paper and touch
it with wires leading from both poles
of the battery, keeping them about
y in. apart. A dark-brown spot will
immediately be produced where the
wire from the positive pole touches
The blotter. A dead cell or battery will
produce no spot. A little experience in
Judging the rapidity with which the
spot is formed, and the shade of the
color produced, will soon enable one
to tell the condition of the battery
fairly accurately, whether.it is nearly
dead, half charged, or fully charged
This method is applicable to both stor-
age batteries and dry cells, although
the wires must be further apart in the
case of storage batteries.

Talks to Them of Boys Work
in Duluth

The Rotary luncheon was delayed
this noon by the. childlike interest
in the clowns and elephants Of the
circus parade manifested by several
Juvenile Rotarians., '"ht
The guests were Ed. S. Larson,
George H. Bird, c.. A. Bonham, Roy
Baird, "Bill" Pryor of Duluth, j.
L. Bowers Of Mandan, John E. Mar
tin, legal advisor of the Federal Land
Bank of st. Paul, A. w. Dennis Of
Grand Forks, and Alfred Steele Of
jamestown.
The speaker was "Bill' Pryor, who
was one of the speakers at the Ro-
tary District Conference here last
April. He stressed the service of
Rotary with particular emphasis on
Boys Welfare Work, giving, several
instances in, his own experience
where a little interest in a boy had
transformed that boy from a potep-.
tial liability to the community to a
good citizen. He stated that the
growth of community meant moth
ing compared with the. opportunities
afforded the coming generation to
grow out to be good men, that we
might look for a better city rather
than bigger one, and that city
without a good public library, plen-
ty of churches, a Boy Scout move
ment, and a Girl Scout movement
could not be such better city.

Cleaning Crystals with Alcohol

The sensitiveness of a crystal deter
mines to great extent the receiving
range of set. Some crystals are
much better than others in this re-
spect, but even good ones are soon
spoiled by improper care. Air causes
the surface of the crystal to oxidize
gradually, which of course decreases
it's efficiency. Dust particles in the air
also lodge on the surface and adhere
to it. The most trouble is, however,
caused by handling the crystal, as
the oil on the hands and fingers, which
is imperceptible to the naked eye,
insulates the surface of the crystal, and
for this reason crystals should never
be touched. An excellent method of
cleaning crystals, which will in many
cases restore the original sensitiveness,
is to give them bath in alcohol, using
an old toothbrush to scrub them.
