 Mills annuonced the central com- mittee project had been approved at a preliminary session of district chairmen, federal officials~ and rep sentatives of oil, railroad and man. ufacturing industries,
 Daniel Willard, president of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, Wal ter c, Teogle, president of the Standard Oil company of New Jer- sey; and A. w. Robertson, chair man of the Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing company, were among the conferees.
 The district committee chairman last night joined a round table dis cussion at the White House. Their reports to President Hoover on conditions in their sections were said to have struck decidedly op- timistic note.
 The presidents economic con ference is converting with organized labor complaining that the. work ing man and the. consumer have been left out of account and with democrats challenging in formal statements the usefulness of the conference.

FIRST LAW SCHOOL, BICENTENNIAL HEART
LITTLE EGYPT IS ONCE AGAIN
 SCENE OF FIGHT
Cockpit of Illinois Has Had Many Bloody Affairs in the Past Quarter of a Century
BY LELAND b. CHEsLEY

United Press Staff COrresp0ndent)
 Marion, Illinois, August ,26 = (UP) - The cockpit of Illinois - Little Egypt" = echoes again to gunfire and groans of the wound ed - once more its yellow soil is stained with blood.
 7 Hours have passed since 1S,500 pickets clashed with 800 deputies at Muddy River, but grim faces. armed men, the undercurrent of rumor, and defiance still rule in many parts of this delta of tho Mississippi and the Ohio rivers.
 Marion, County seat of William son county, Is the center of Little Egypt" The next county to the north is Franklin. West of Frank lin lies Perry. Disgruntled miners on strike marched through Perry county to invade Franklin county. Williamson and Jackson counties migh have been next in their line of march.
 Williamson county, known as Bloody" Williamson, did not re- ceive its title from the fact that 20 miners were slain in what was called the "Herrin Massacre about 109 years ago. It was ac- quired over a period of years be- ginning shortly after the Civil war when the Bloody Vendetta" a scendants of KentuccmfwyU Uketao feud between two families, de- scendants of Kentuckians and Tennesseeans, who pioneered this country, resulted in a number of killings.
 Following the "Bloody Vendet- ta" came race riots at Cartervilie whe several persons were killed. in a labor war.
 Next was the era of s. Glenn Young, who reigned during a Ku Klux Klan warfare and prohibit ton campaign. He finally was shot to death. After that came the outlaw era when the notorious Birger and Shelton gangs terror ized southern Illinois. That era ended with the execution of Charlie Birger, a leader.
 Southern Illinois = That part where the invading marching min CTS sought to spread their strike against a reduced wage scale agreement = williamson. Frank lin and Saline counties along with parts of the state further south, was originally settled by Kentucky and tennessee noun taineers. Their American ances- try dated back. to the Revolution ary war.
 These men since blended with Italians. Welsh. Slovaks and other nationalities who came here in the early part of the century when the coal industry started to- boom, halted the invasion" of miner pickets from central and northern Illinois.
 The name Little Egypt" Is a matter of pride to various sections of the southern end of the state.

 The Litchfield law school soon became a powerful force in the early life of the nation. From her musty classrooms were to come forth two vice presidents of the United States, six presidential cabinet members, three justices of the United States supreme court, SS members of the House of Re- presentatives, IA state governors and many others who served in minor executive judicial and leg islatiye roles.
 Reeve himself became superior court judge. b
 Following the death of Reeves widow, the oldest law school in America and adjoining property passed into the hands of Lewis B.. Woodruff of New York in whose family it remained until the death of his grandson, Lewis B. Wood ruff, in 1927 when it was acquired by Yale university. The Litchfield Historical society purchased the school and site in 1929.

to call the conference into session at 10 a. nn., in the auditorium of the new 17,500,000 commerce de- partment building. More than 250 industralists and bankers accepted invitations to be present. The 34 federal officials sitting with them include Mills, Governor Meyer of the federal reserve board and of f1cials of the various emergency corporations established by com gress to relieve depression. VI '
 MT Hoover was to speak first. followed by Chairman Pomerence of the reconstruction finance cor poration; c. H. Miller. president of the corporation; Chairman Fort of the Home Loan bank board; Owen D. Young, chairman of the New York banking and industrial com ihittee; Secretary of Commerce Chapin and Secretary of Treas ury Mills. The conference will con- tinue through Saturday.
 Mills refused to divulge before the conference was called to order the nature of the program agreed upon at yesterdays closed session of committee chairmen. It is known, however. that since the committees were formed two months ago some of them have not been as aggressive as MT Hoover wished in seeking to stimulate enl- ployment and business through ex- parsion ofcredit. Thepurpose Of the central committee is to insure action generally on what MT Hoover has described as the entire econom- ic front. :.
 President Hoover originally in- vited only the committee members to confer here today and tomorraw but authorized the chairmenj to invite other conferees. Among prominent persons in that latter category are Edsel Ford. president of the Ford Motor company. and Myron c. Taylor, chairman of the finEnce committee of the United States Steel corporation.

Concurrently, tribute will be paid to native sons who were prominent in the nations history during Colonial days.
 These include Judge Tapping Reeve, founder of the school, General Oliver Wolcott, Colonel Benjamin Tallmadge and Judge James Gould.
 Recently Restored
 The law school, recently restor- ed to it's original design, was built in 1874 by Reeve-21 years after his graduation from Princeton. The school, which for 10 years held greater prestige than Har- ward, Yale or William and Mary, was built opposite the home of General Oliver Wolcott. signer of the Declaration of Independence, Continental Congress member, later governor of Connecticut and Washington's secertary of the treasury succeeding Alexan- der Hamilton. Wolcott's home became famous as the place where the statute of King George III was melted and recast into bullets.
 In the school, Reeve, who, as a, recruiting officer gained promin- ence when he led a group of fresh troops to New York aimed to rescue Washington during his retreat, tutored his first pupil, his brother-in-law--Aaron Burr.
 School Prominent
 Gradually, Reeves law school became known thruoghout Amer lea. Students were attracted from all parts of the union--men like John c. Calhoun, John M. Clay ton. the younger Oliver Wolcott, Horace Mann, Peter B. Porter, Levi Woodbury, Stephen R. Brad

100000 Rowing Boys

Reports from Washington say that
fully 100000 young men and boys are
wandering aimlessly about the coun-
try these days, going on the bum
without the slightest notion of what
is ahead Of them.
Uprooted by the depression, these
youngsters originally set out in the
hope that they could find work in
the next town, or if not then in the
next town after that. In almost every
case they were disappointed; now
they are simply wanderers, homeless
and penniless, constituting an ever
growing problem.
1t is vitality important that young
men this summer be made to see that
it is better for them and for every
one else that they stay at home. The
chances are 100 to one that they will
not better themselves by going away
unless they have very definite
promise of permanent job. This
nation already has all the rowing
panhandlers 1t can care for.

and every maneuver there is lot Of
practice, patience and hard work.
Outfits like that which does Bis
marck credit are not produced in a
week, a day Or a month or without
considerable outlay of money for In
struments and materials.
The men in the corps and its d.
rector have given hours of their time
to patient practice in order that they
may do themselves and the city proud
when they appear in public. The To-
cal post OF the American Legion has
given loyal support to this organiza-
ton which brings pride and pleasure
to the entire city and which has
attracted much favorable notice
throughout the state, particularly in
the Bismarck trade area.
The American Legion drum corps
has become quite drawing card in

pearance.

Plenty of room there for accidents,

Efficiency is the great modern vir-
tue. Athletes ambitious to excel do
not resort to alcoholic "stimulants."
Great industries sack employees who
are discovered drinking. Big business
executives make short shrift of en-
ployes who betray their fondness for
gin. Locomotive drivers are let out
when caught patronizing speakeasies
or other dispensaries in their hours
off duty. There is no sentiment or
prejudice in all this. It is the atti-
tude- imposed upon us by hard facts.
Not until we can contrive to break
down the barrier and introduce hon

and physiology into the common
schools can we hope to dry up this
country. Education, not legislation
will do it.

Can acidophilus milk be made at

Bulgarian milk or acidophilus milk by
adding to boiled milk or boiled skim
