 All ships within the vicinity of the area whore the Southern Cross was believed to be were attempting l to take bearings from the plane and aid it in finding it's way.

Briefs Today Briefer
Than in Former Days

Laymen have often wondered why
In the legal profession briefs are 80
called, when, as a rule, owing to the
more or less elaborate legal phrase
ology, they are anything but brief.
A lawyer explains that this name
was given because such documents
ARE supposed to cover the necessary
subject matter In as brief q space as
possible" 1t is also pointed out that
many Of the "Whereases," the "afore-
salds" and the ito wits" are really es-
sential.
Although the uninitiated may still
founder in the mazes of law techni-
c~alities, modern briefs are very much
less encountered with verbiage than
were the briefs Of the earlier days,
says the New York Times. The mod
ern tendency is to simplify.
Writing long legal documents used
to be profitable. because, to begin
with, they were prepared by scriven-
ers who were paid by the word.
An amusing story is told Of a GER
tain ancient scrivener In England who
has lived through the ages because
he perpetrated the most voluminous
brief ever evolved in the profession.
1t was so prodigiously long the au-
thorities thought the time for reform
had come.
They decided to make Of him an ex-
ample. The wordy manuscript was
affixed to a placard board and as
punishment the scrivener was forced
to parade with 1t all about the town.

Crooked as the River Jordan" ia
an old expression, but there are
streams that make Jordan look
straight. In the old days when packet
steamers were popular as t%ransporta-
ton up and down the Mississippi. pas
sengers used to get out at many of
the sharp bends and walk across q
narrow neck of land to rest from the
tedious trip, the steamer arriving
sometimes an hour later. The White
river In Arkansas is another erratic
stream. 1t travels 1000 miles In
traversing q distance Of 80 miles.

First Study of Comet

The comet of 1880 was the first one
whose orbit was computed on the basis
Of the law Of gravitation. Newton
made the calculations and found that
Its period of revolution was about coo
years. At Its %perihelion 1t passed
through the suns corona at a distance
Of only 100000 miles from its sur
face. 1t flew along this part of its
orbit at the rate of $40 miles per sec
ond. and Its tail. 10O,0OO.OOc miles long,
changed Its direction to correspond
with the motion Of the comet In its
orbit.

After little Jimmy had listened to
his older brothers saying the Lords
prayer. he felt that he, too, had at.
tanned the age at which he might
discard his childish prayer for the
Lords prayer. With his mothers
consent, he bravely started in. All
went well until he came to the words
Forgive us our debts" then his mem.
cry failed. He considered for several
moments and again bowling his head,
he finished with, Forgive us our
debts, and help US to pay them"

AS Executive
DECEASED STATE EXECUTIVE
NATIVE OF MINNESOTA; IN
N. ID. SINCE AGE OF 10
WON INTERNATIONAL RACE
OVER NESTOS IN HOT FIGHT
WITH COP. INCUMBENT

Bismarck, N. D., Aug. 2S.-Gov.
A. G. Sorlie of North Dakota died
here Tuesday morning.
Death was caused by heart dis
Ease from which the governor has
been critically i'll for the last three
days.
Arthur Gustave Sorlie was born
April &c, 1874, near Albert Lea,
MINI. His parents were liver and
Mary Sorlie, natives of Norway.
When he was 10 years old he came to
North Dakota, where he worked in a
bank, operated a general store and
later became a travelling salesman.
In 1907 he entered the fuel, seed
and feed business at Grand Forks as
A. G. Sorlie and Co. The enterprise
was successful and was the basis for
considerable fortune which he later
accumulated in other business en-
deavors.
Wins Over Nestos
Despite his extensive interests, the
Norpartisan League selected him as
its standard bearer in 1924 and he
won the gubernatoral election after
a hot fight with R. A. Nestos, the
republican incumbent. He was re-
elected in 1926, but did not seek re-
nomination this year, saying that he
desired to retire to private life at the
end of his term.
In 1900 Governor Sorlie married
Miss Grace Hilleboe at Grand Forks.
The first important act of office
came to Governor Sorlie when in his
first term he appointed Gerald P.
Nye to the United States senate to
succeed Senator f. F. Ladd who died
in office.
Maddox Succeeds
Governor Sorlie's death brings to
the executives chair Walter Mad
dock, the lieutenant governor, who is
a real dirt farmer, and is rated a
self-made man. He was educated III
the common schools and business
college. Later he studied law and
civil engineering, taking mail cours-
es in those subjects.
Since 1906 he has operated a farm
near Plaza and has been active in
forming several farmer cooperative
associations. He was elected lieuten-
ant governor in recognition of his
services to the Norpartisan League
as a member of the Legislature and
his experience as a law maker. He
was chairman of the North Dakota
delegation to the lst republican ma
tional convention.
In 1906 Governor Maddox married
Miss Marguerite Tierney Of Grand
Forks. They have four sons and a
daughter.
