Shingles Long in Use
 as Building M0teTidl

To the materials in most common use and particularly those constantly before us we give perhaps less thought than to those which are so common but which have been more recently brought to our notice, because of the new properties they may possess, or because of a supposed need they may seem to fill
 Shingles, for example, are one of the oldest of our bnilding materials, having been in constant use in this country for nearly 300 years.
 Because of the great demand for them the old methods of manufacture have long since been done away with and have been replaced by the use of the most modern machinery. Shin gles were first derived from the solid wood and later split in order to oh. tain a straight and more even grain. Now they are manufactured in a most scientific and economical manner.

 ''Pm going to catch bird" she re piled.
 "Surely you don't think you can sprinkle salt on a birds tail and catch it?" the mother said.
 "But Mr B. told US kids that we could sprinkle salt on birds tail and catch 1t and he wouldn't tell lie for no bird" Margaret insisted
 "Why, Margaret. that's impossible"
 ''Well. hasn't Aunt Carolyn a bird in a cage. and how did she get it?"

One day woman who owns small restaurant served dinner to a man and his wife. The man was deaf. In the midst of the meal, the owner of the restaurant noticed that the wom- an wrote message on the order pad and passed it over to her husband. She felt that some comment had been made on the food which had been served.
 After the guests had left, she read the slip of paper that had been left behind and found this: Don't stir your ice tea so hard It sounds as if you were beating a cake"

Utica IN. Y.) Press:
CONTEMPT OF COURT

Libel used to be recognized as
the chief legal hazard of news
paper work. It still is one of the
banes of a newspaper mans life
but it has been superseded for
the moment by the growing ten
dency to emphasize contempt OF
court as a means of controlling
newspapers.
The possibilities in this direc-
tion are more far-reaching than
any contained in the law of libel.
That is intended, primarily, to
protect individuals against dam
ages they might suffer by mali
cious Misrepresentation in print.
The contempt of court theory ad-
vanced in some cases recently,
strikes at the right to express an
opinion about procedure which
may demand criticism.
The layman who attempts to
discuss legal matters always risks
trouble, due to his lack of knowl-
edge. of the maze of precedents,
statutes and procedure which may
be involved.
The fundamental fault with
contempt charges, from the news,
paper mans viewpoint, is that
they rest pretty largely upon a
judges opinion of and reaction
to a given set of circumstances.
Libel is quite clearly defined.
Contempt is not. The judge, in
fact, may be placed in the
anomalous position of being both
prosecutor and judicial officer.
This is one difficult to occupy
fairly.
A case in point is up in Wash
ington where three reporters are
out on bail because they refused
10 give a grand jury certain IN
formation about an investigation
of Speak-eaSieS, which they main
tanned would involve breach of
ethics on their part Some of
their information had been OBJ
tanned confidentially. They would
not break the condolences. In so
doing they acted in accordance
with newspaper tradition.

ton to prove it. The Grand Jury,
floundering around as some grand
juries do, sought comeback by
finding fault with the failure
of these three men to testify.
What the Grand Jury did not
know, and which every news
paper man does know, is that,
above all things else, a news
paper man respects the conf
dence which is imposed in him
by his news sources. Every
newspaper man knows things
which he does not prlnt-not be-
cause these things would not at
tract the public, but because he
is trained always to keep in
mind that his greatest service is
to the general welfare Of the
public.
That one thing he recognizes
above all else, and the average
newspaper man would rather
serve a jail term than violate
the ethics which contribute. to
his success.

he called on Property Clerk Ed

clared, and he applied to Judge

as chief of the Bureau of InVeSti-
cation, and two of the latter's
assistants, to show cause before
Judge Mcmahon why they should
not return the liquor or be ad-
judged in contempt of court.
He added that when the writ
came before Judge Mcmahon the
latter decided that he had no

said, and only the fifth one made
any definite report. The report
stated that sit appears that GER

the liquor in various ways-for
instance, by appropriating it to
their own personal uses, by max

In his letter to the District
Commissioners, in which he maze
the offer to appear as the com
plainant, Allen served notice on
the Commissioners that he would
make the Mcpherson case The
subject of an address he is to de-
liver at the Washington Audi
torium Sunday night.
In his letter, Allen takes credit
for having supplied the evidence
on which the Grand Jury indicted
Mcpherson and Scathingly de-
nounced the detective bureau,
particularly Lieutenant Kelly and
Inspector Shelby. The jury was
later found to be technically
illegal because of the ineligibillty
Of one Juror. The indictment
was voided by the Government
and the entire case presented to
another Grand Jury, which failed
to reindict the husband, "ignor-

source that you are unable to Sc
cure a complainant against In
Spector William s. Shelby and
Lieut.. Edward ]. Kelly in the mat
ter of charges having their origin
in the special report Of the July
Grand Jury in their probe Of the
Mcpherson case, I therefore wish
to offer my services in this regard.
LAS you may or may not know,
it was due chiefly to the informa-
ton and witnesses I was able to
furnish the said July Grand Jury
that resulted in their special re-
port which charged that the in
vestigation of the Mcpherson
case as conducted by Inspector
Shelby and Lieut.. Kelly was badly
bungled' to say the least.

character and Importance that it
would undoubtly serve as a basis
for charges against these officers,
and in order that this matter may
be brought to issue. I am willing

possible that a shift of plans will

for If the administration shows
unwavering opposition to any

merely wasted in passing it.
Furthermore, the Senate Demo,

to pass a tariff bill of their own
