Nature

In England. during the reign Of
Edward ". swans were declared to
be royal birds and a law was en-
acted that NO person who did not
possess a freehold Of a clear yearly
rental Of five marks" was allowed
to own swans. A years imprison-
ment and a fine, at the kings will,
was punishment during the reign Of
Henry VII. for stealing a swan s
egg. There are less than dozen
species of swans. The swan usually
to be seen in our parks is of Eu-
rooean origin and has been domes-
ticated for at least 500 years. 1t is
called the Mute swan, because silent
in captivity. Naturalists say these
swans, in wild state, trumpet loudly
during breeding season.

7ORE than 400 members Of the
IMI American Bar Association, at
LII tending the convention in
London last summer. had to rent
suitable attire to wear at a garden
party given by the king and queen
OF England.
So Judge james NJ. feathers OF
Superior Court divulged at a recent
dinner Of the Indianapolis Bar Asso-
citation.
The statement doesn't surprise. In
stead. one wonders why more law
yers weren't Obliged to rent court
costume.
For with us royalty is not com
mon. Probably the only contact
some Of our lawyers have with
kings and queens is with the regal
pair that adds dignity and pomp to
a royal flush.
And English court etiquette IS
strict. One who would minEle with
royalty there must wear the pro.
scribed costume.
The lawyers conformed 70 the
conventions without a whimper.
Because we always observe custom
in our garb.
The Supreme Court Of Oklahoma
decided in a celebrated case that
Fred Tarvcy--who operates a string
Of railroad eating houses-can en-
force his rule that no man shall eat
In Harvey dining-rooms minus his
coat
The courts decision didn't provoke
an instruction.
For all men dread to wear APP
parel that is out of tune with the
harmony Of the occasion. Most Of
them either suitably attire-or re
tire.
