SANDIEGO. March l3.-While
a states witness vas experiencing
the whitening fire Of a defense law
yer. a young deputy district at
torney idly drew a picture. Money
was taking wing from a bag TO a
castle in the air.
Idling. perhaps. but not asleep. A
conviction for grand theft flowed
through the point Of his pen.
Some lawyers may be bored while
others are amused and yet other
make notes. But B. l.. Comparet. a
young graduate OF Stamford uni
versity. draws pictures. They Illus
trate his cases.
While defense counsel asks ques-
lions. the answers to which Com
paret already knows, he sits at q
table and draws a picture Of the
case on the back Of his permanent
file on the case.
To Comparet the picture presents
a clearer idea Of the action than
he could form with words or con-
LESSONS.
Recently. with a satisfied smile he
listened TO two defense lawyers
cross-examine his witness in a pig
stealing case. While the smile play
ed, his pencil dashed off lines on
the back Of the file envelope. Cross
examination and the drawing were
completed simultaneously.
A man was running. A porker
squeezed and squealing under the
fleeing mans arm. struggled for
freedom Above the drawing appear

THERE ARE DOCTORS
 AND DOCTORS

Recently Dr. Don s. Numbers of Boise, Ida, fought his way thru an Idaho blizzard to per form an emergency operation, and battled for his patients life in a snoWbound cabin near the remote village of Burgdorf. He trekked 30 miles through the blizzard to carry out his duties and was showed in with his pa tient.
 Which reminds us of another doctor who refused to walk the length of the Citizens Wharf to give first aid to a young man who had been shot by a rifle bullet; of another time when he refused to look at troller Stric- ken by paralysis because he thought he would not get his money from the patient. Yes, there are doctors-and doctors.

liquor business who have held responsible official office and queer stories have been told of their sending "fall guys" to the ren when the sWag did not come forth as expected; and we do know that many a homicide is caused directly by conspiracy to violate the prohibition laws of the land. All of which is not to be denied. But all of which does not mean that we must Haunt those laws and give greater editorial space to such violaters than hey are entitled to.

THE PEACEFUL TOWN
 IS A DEAD TOWN

Down in Nevada are cities that are peaceful-not a soul stirring save an occasional be- whiskered prospector and his jackasses. No activity of any kind, no warm criticisms, no bic- kering, skipping each other on the back in sanctimonious praise the prospectors and residents, not the jackasses. Those com munities are dead or dying.
 When men in cities fight and quarrel over "the game"-that is different. History shows that quarrels in religious circles has brought on the greatest develop ment in the churches. The mar row intolerant bigotry has been surplanted by broader view points and greater has been the growth of those churches.
 When citizens of a town fight and quarrel over "the game" when they kick because the other fellow is laying down on the job or dropped the ball; or raise hell with the citizen who did not buck the line hard enough; when they get sore and cuss out the opposition; when they create argument over poli- cies and systems or plans; when they raise question impersonally over the advisability or worth of certain plans, they are creating an interest that bodes of devel- opment. If that is the kind of a town of which you are a mem Der, be glad that you are a citi- zen of that town. It is a town that is going ahead and it is a town that will go ahead.
 1 If the citizenry of a town makes a personal battle of every principal and of matters that have no part in a town; if men lbecome personal rivals through

only hate and scorn of each
 other; if they lie and gossip and
 try to kill each other to elimin- ate fair competition then it is
 time for the citizenry to look in-
 to their affairs and take mea- sure of what they are doing. Such conduct will not tend to develop any town.
 After all there is only one rule of conduct for any city and any business-"W Whatsoever ye
 would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them"

Its roadway crosses mountains more than a mile high.

y set aside as Washington
First week. Sponsored by the
State Chamber of Commerce,
The Manufacturers Associa-
ton of Washington and the
Washington Press Associa-
ton, the week has as it's pur-
pose acquainting us, with our
own state. -
In the past, most of the
booster efforts have been d.
rected towards tourists and
outsiders. The Chamber of
Commerce information bur-
eau could reel off glibly facts
and figures about this leading
state of the Northwest, but
the man in the street or the
farmer who grew the prize
winning crops knew, if at all,
only in q vague way Of the
states talking points.
Agriculture, lum b ering, |
mining, fishing, nanufactur-
ing and foreign trade are in
dustries in which Washing
ton is outstanding. She grows
vegetables and catches fish
for her own canneries, cuts
lumber for her own single
shingle mills, mines metal for ,
her own factories, and in adj
dition supplies raw materials | ,
for the rest of the world. i
Each portion of the state ,
has its own distinct scenic at
traction, its own climatic de-
sireabilities.

here are ideals worth striving
, for, lives worth emulating.
i Abraham Lincoln stands
for certain things-honesty
patience, the spirit Of democ.
iracy, and above all a wide and
understanding humanity. He
is our symbol Of true democ-
racy. ...,,
/ Mistakes he made, for he
was intensely human, but he
used those mistakes as step
ping stones to higher achieve
ment.. He lowered above his
| generation not only with his
six feet four, but with his
keen mind and his capacity
for suffering for his friends,
whom he comforted, and his
enemies, whom he forgave. He
realized that the Civil War,
while an economic struggle,
held something more in the
balance. It was q struggle to
see whether that nation, or
any other nation, so conceived
and so dedicated, can long en-
dure. -
This nation, under his wise
leadership, endured. Today
we are in no danger Of physi-
cal disruption, but q host Of
other evils have settled on our
national life like old men Of
The sea. Not only are we at q
oss as to the method Of at
'ack, but some Of us do not
want to attack them, SO clev-
srly are they masquerading.
We will not find the solu-
ion to these problems until /,
We, with Lincoln, look past
he ends of our noses to So /
ial fundamentals and social /
leeds. Not What have l to I
ain or lose," but How win +
ne result affect humanity 2"
