"Clean Hands" in Law

There is legal maxim, 'He who
seeks equity must come with clean
hands" AS explained in Bowman's
Handbook that "a plaintiff who has
been guilty Of inequitable conduct in
the same matter concerning which he
asks relief against the defendants in
equitable conduct will be denied re-
lief" An Illustration cited is that
plaintiff who sues to restrain the de-
fendant from infringing his trade
mark will be denied relief where the
trade mark is itself untruthful and
misleading to the public. A somewhat
similar maxim is, HE who seeks
equity must do equity"

Pigeon That Won Fame

Unquestionably the most famous
bird of the World war was Cher Ami,
credited with saving Major Whittle-
sey's "T.ost Battalion" Released with
message on October 81. 1918. at 2:35
p. m. during intense artillery action
Cher Ami delivered a message 40 Kill
nmeterS distant In 25 minutes and
was the only pigeon to get through
the enemy's fire. Although wounded
in the breast, and the leg which car
ried the precious message was shot
away. the tiny tube, still intact. hung
to the exposed lii-aments. Later he
crossed tho seas with the doughhoys
on the ohinan transport md died in
June. 1919, from the effects Of the
wounds.

"TalI" Fish Story

A record kept by Thomas Boosey,
of England, In 1894, tells of a fish
that lived to be fifty-three years old,

"W. Hossop of Bond Hall, Furness,"
the record says, ''placed a small felt
back trout, about SO years ago. when
a boy, into a we'll in the orchard be-
longing TO his family, where it re-

Then it died, not through sickness or

The first legislation on the subject
Of workmen's compensation in the
United States was cooperative in
surance law in Maryland in 1902
However, this law was declared un-
constitutional in 1904. The first com

but several of them were held uncon-

by the famous Ives decision. The New
York constitution was then amended
and another law passed. Congress in

Explaininp Leaning Tower

The fact that the Leaning Tower Of
Pisa stands depends on the law of
states, which insures the stability of
a leaning buildine whose parts are
firmly bound together and whose cen
ter Of gravity does not project beyond
the limits Of the supporting founda-
tion. The leaning tower has a spiral
stairway within, which is built with
increased height on the sides of the
lean and decreased height on the sides
opposite the lean. thus throwing a
greater weight Of masonry on the side
opposed to the lean.

Valuable Food Experiments

The value of laboratory experiments
in the field Of foods is pointed out by
Lawrence H. Baker in Hygeia Naga-
zine. In natural forms the substance
that benefits the human body is often
mixed with harmful impurities that
may retard its action when taken into
the human body.
AS soon as plant or animal tissue
is found to yield n substance possess
ing medicinal value, scientists and the
atom chGsers seek TO isolate the active
principles ana to reduce them to their
utmost smpl.citY.

Mr.. HOOVER OBEYS

One more proof of the chains which
bind the President, came to light yester
day when he had to bow to duty, forget
Herbert Hoover and remember the Pres
ident of the United States, and leave
pleasure for work.
Americans who enjoy baseball. and
that means millions, can sympathize
with the President He was the central
figure at the opening of the baseball sea-
son in the national capital.
For 10 innings he watched Mr. Connie
Mack's Athletics, and Mr.. Walter John
sons Senators battle nip and tuck and at
the end Of that time the score was tied
3 to 3. Even a casual follower of base
ball would gladly accept a late dinner
and perhaps wifely scolding, rather
than leave before the issue was decided.
A real fan, and the President qualities
as such, would balk strenuously at leav-
ing before the end. But duty beckoned
and Mr. Hoover bowed to it. Scheduled
to give radio talk he left the game be-
fore the eleventh inning came up and did
not see Mr.. Mack's boys put two more
runs across the plate.
Like a good soldier he abandoned his
score card and his bag Of peanuts, the in
formality and relaxation that accom-
panies a ball game, and resumed his role
as President.
The iron was scared into his soul by
the fact that Mrs. Hoover and his son
Alan neither of whom can be considered
a real baseball follower, could remain to
see the finish and the Athletics triumph.
THE way Of the transgressor is hard,
but the man who obeys the law hasn't a
bed of roses either. One of his predeces-
sors freed the slaves, but Mr.. Hoover and
every other President has found that
there is considerable slavery in the high
office they are called upon to fill.

and that will be very jolly" said Un-
Gle Wiggily with laugh. Thank
you!'
Away he hoped DOWN the hill
leaving the robin singing his cheer
up song and pretty soon Uncle Wig
gily came to tree that had a funny
hole in one side. The hole was
about as high as Uncle Wiggilys
eyes and it was shaped like a lolly-
pop. Such a funny hole!
Il wonder what is down in that
hole?" murmured Mr.. Longears
The tree is an old one and must
be hollow or it wouldn't have hole
in it. But wonder what is down
in the hole?"
Well, Uncle Wiggily knew he
couldn't find out what was in the
hole just by wondering and think
ing.
II must take look" he said So
he hoped over to the tree and,
putting one eye to the hole, he
squinted his other eye shut and took
a good, long look.
All of a sudden Uncle Wiggily
felt a lot of water squirt in the open
eye with which he was looking into
the hole.
"Oh, my goodness! Who squirted
water in my eye?" cried the rabbit
as he jumped back from the funny
hole in the old tree. Who did it?"
Il did it," answered a voice,
though the rabbit saw no one.
who are you and where are
you?" asked Uncle Wiggily, wiping
the water out of his eye.
I'm Jackie Bow Wow and I'm
hiding in this hollow tree to play a
trick on my brother Peetiel' barked
Jackie, putting his eye to the funny
hole in the tree and looking out at
Uncle Wiggily.
What sort of trick?" asked the
rabbit still wiping water from his
eye.
THE same sort of trick played
on you!" laughed Jackie.
"Oh, did you squirt water in my
eye?" asked Uncle Wiggily
"Yes, II you please, thank you"
Jackie answered most politely.
"Oh, you needn't thank me, "
spoke Uncle Wiggily, quickly. But
how did you squirt water in my eye
and how are you going to squirt
some in Peetie's eye for joke if he
comes along?"
"Oh, he will come along soon all
right and you shall see me play a
squirting water trick on him as |
did on you. Though l wouldn't
have squirted water in your eye,
please, much obliged, thank you, If
I had known you didn't want me
| TO-" barked Jackie.
Don't thank mel" chuckled Uncle
! Wiggily. But tell me how you
squirtcd water in my eye"
1T was this way" began Jackie
and then, all of sudden, there was
noise in the woods and the dog
gle boy in the tree whispered
"Sush! Please keep still and watch
me play that trick on Peetie!"
So Mr.. Longears kept very still
and quiet. And what happened next
will be told in the story after this
1t will be called Uncle Wiggily and

ROYALTY TOPPLES

Something more than a decade after
other leading European monarchs lost
their crowns, Alfonso XIII of Spain finds
himself shorn of his power and eXiled
from his country by the will of his peo-
pie.
One of the oldest and at one time the
strongest of monarchies, the Spanish
royal family has been weak for years and
only the strong personal courage of AL
fonso kept it from collapsing long ago.
The divine right of kings, once accept
ed as a matter of course, finds little, if
any support these days, and in its stead
has arisen the divine right of the peo-
pie to rule themselves.
There is no doubt that the first is a
fallacy and dead issue. There can be
considerable doubt as to the wisdom of
the latter The people are not always
their best rulers, although in democra-
cy the belief that they are so fitted is in
born in US. But that they are entitled
to decide upon the sort of government
they desire, few will deny, particularly
citizens of democracy.
1t is quite apparent that there are 60
ing to be troublesome times IN Spain be-
fore a stable government IS organized.
Right now there is wave Of freedom
predominating and freedom to those who
have just received it is often confused
with license. Jealousy and ambition,
twin causes for much misery, are
strengthened by the opportunities for
power, hitherto denied

as a personally brave man. He has nev-
er been strong ruler, and that he has
been a wise. one is open to considerable

more than figurehead king, without
even the strong background that other
figurehead monarchs possess.
He goes into exile well provided with
this worlds goods, perhaps not in suffi-
cent quantity to enable him to live on
the lavish scale of royalty, but certain
ly with enough to prevent him from
knowing want and in much better cir
cumstances than the great majority.
