A simple way sometimes used to
relieve temporary shortage of wa
ter in dug wells is to sink in the
bottom a few feet of large drain tile
or steele, concrete, or clay sewer
pipe, says the Bureau of Agricultur-
al Engineering. The pipe is forced
down as the hole is dug. Dirt is re-
moved through the pipe. Take care
not to undermine the curb or lin
ing. Make sure that the well is
free from gas before entering it.

Food FlaUOrs Seen
Spur to Stamp
Sales

The Department Of Agricul-
ture, now seeking a new and
taStier mucilage for stamps,
may help the Post Office De
partment turn its deficit into q
decided profit If the new gum
proves pleasant enough. This
is the opinion Of Louis Brehm,
who, writing in the October
issue Of the Post Office Clerk,
muses. humorously that the
public may buy more stamps If
they taste better. He adds:
Letter writer's have wearied
Of the mOnOtOnOus gummy
flavor borne by the adhesives,
and probably would double their
stamp purchases II . tastier
mucilage were supplied. FIavOrs
appropriate to the COIOrs Of
the various denominations
would be . master stroke Of
postal gastr0nOmics. There
could be q 1-cent stamp with
mint mucilage; . 2-Cent with
raspberry; 4-cent, brown gravy;
scent, bIueberry; 7-cent, black
walnut, and SO on"
"Since no great constructive
movement Is complete without
a slogan, we suggest this:
Stamps that stick to letters.
with fIavOrs that stick TO the

2,100 LAWYERS
PRACT|C|NG
IN CAPITAL
Profession Is 0VercrOWded
Everywhere, Department Of
Interior Bulletin Says

With the mild admission that
"the legal profession is over.
crowded." the Department Of In:
terror. which Has general super
vision over education in this
country, reminds that there Is
now one lawyer for every 100
adults.
In q bulletin on law as q
career, the Interior Department
also reminds that the first few
years are the hardest, and that
many young attorneys accept
temporary employment in other
officers before gaining enough
courage to open their own. Many
remain in these offices and never
hang out their own shingles.
That situation Is markedly true
in washington, where every Fed
eral department has o large num-
ber of law graduates who for one
reason or another do not attempt
to practice. :,
One reason, it is pointed out, Is
the fact that the washington
telephone directory lists more than
2,1OO attorneys in this city VINO
maintain offices and practice,
without taking into consideration
the untold hundreds OF law
graduates who work for the Gov
ernment, or in varied business
enterprises in the city.
The 1925 directory OF lawyers
in the United States listed 163, $40,
while the Interior Department re-
minds that 10000 more are
graduated every year. The In
terror Department does not dis
courage men and women from
studying law, but merely reminds
that "the legal profession" is
overflowing, inferring that the
Government departments and big
business In general still have a
demand for law-trained employees.
