ular respect for law"
The bars standard needs improv-
ing, commented the attorney gen
eral.
"For a generation" he said in his
| American Bar Association speech,
1--WE have progressively lowered the
bars standard through the increas-
ing number of those entering the
legal profession without sufficient
training, without the background of
liberal education, experience and as
sociations which make for moral re-
sponsibility, as we'll as to develop
the capacity for performing ade-
quately the duties of the lawyer.

wants to enter the law. l was one
myself. But the poor boy with such
an ambition must prepare himself"
docs this add to law enforce
ment difficulties ?-among our laws,
have we some we really don't want :?
laws that can't be enforced, yet
can't be repealed-laws that are
broken even by many of those who
helped to put them and who help to
keep them on our statute books?"
"My job" answered the attorney
i general, "is to try to enforce the
laws, not to criticize them"
Yet the attorney general does cri-
ticize a little, at least by implica-
ton.
Thus:
"The extension of government ac-
tivities into new fields has brought
about devices in the supposed inter-
est of expeditions law enforcement
without inconvenient interference
by the courts, by comforting more
or less arbitrary powers on admin
istrative officials, constantly tend
ing to narrow the common law
rights and privileges of the citizen.

that the most precious inheritance
of the new world from the old is
e m b ed in those fundamental
rights and personal liberty under
the law, which have found their
true expression here in our bill of
rights and the first ten amendments
to our constitution"

penitentiary sentence left upon him
and would therefore sentence him to
twelve months in the county jail.

Matte Waters, chairman of the
publicity committee, reported new
broadcasting system to be used when
each member of the club by phone.
With this method no girl will have
to call more than two or three and
the message will be passed from one
to another without putting the en-
tire burden upon few.
>sThe matter OF supporting the band
by selling tickets was brought up and
it was decided that each girl should
pledge herself to sell a certain num-
Der to be decided by herself. and
that she pay for this number whether
she sold them or not. This movement
was made so that the club could give
the band definite answer as to the
exact number of tickets they could
sell. One hundred and sixty tickets
were pledged at the meeting and
probably many more will be sold by
those who were not in attendance.
Ruth Chapman, chairman Of the
entertainment committee reported
many interesting things which she
was planning for the club during the
summer, some of which were, hobo
hike, coed ball, character ball with
each girl dressed to represent her oc-
cupation or place of business, water
melon bust, etc. Ruth has splendid
ideas and unless the members wish
to miss something good they should
plan to attend regularly.
After the business meeting st.
Patricks party was enjoyed under
the direction of Miss Chapman. The
members were divided into two equal
groups called PATS and MIKES. A
series of contests were staged and
the PATS won.

The story is taken from H. C.
