When DR.. Ned Pickford Is
asked to find out the qualities
of anything he makes no mis-
takes.
Ned was much interested in
the orchestra that would be Sc.
Iected to play at a dance of
a fraternity convention here
next month and advocated the
selection of prominent local
band. Other members sug.
gested selection of Pennsylva-
mia orchestra which was $1O0
cheaper.
In the course of the discus
sion Ned was named a commit
tee of one to go to PennSylva-
MIA to hear the orchestra.
Before he went, however, he
dispatched letter to the band
leader saying:
"Get me a girl 5 feet 6 inches
tall with whom 1 can dance
while listening to the orches-

Rainy Day Law

Honest John" Wilson, colored
attorney, recalls this event, so
it must be true.
A Chicago jurist appeared in
Washington and in his confer
ence with local judges talked
with a colored occupant of the
bench. One of his questions
concerned the respective merits
of white and colored lawyers.
His informant advised that their
abilities were on a par.
In the midst of the discus
sion a young colored attorney
appeared in the court. He had
been given two clear days"
Qegal phraseology) in which to
file a motion but had failed to
enter his brief. The colored
jurist demanded:
"Why haven't you filed your
motion? You had two clear
dayS?"
And was told:
"YO' Honor, it has been rain
ing both days."

AN EcCENTRIC's WILL

BY the terms of his will, Rufust Bar
low, American-born Jockey, horse trainer
and bookmaker, who died in France not
long ago, virtually made monkeys of the 18
employees on his farm to which he retired
some ID years before his death.
Barlow had taken up the hobby of
collecting costumes from the many coun-
tries ne visited during his racing career.
Although he finally settled in France, he
held the French peasants in contempt be-
cause of their "close-fisted money grub
blng. He often declared that these pea
SAINTS would submit to any indignity for the
sake of a few dollars.
10 prove his point after death, he
provided in his will that his 10 farm work
efs should each have legacy of 10000
francs. But he also left to each of them
fancy costume which he must wear about
the farm for year before the cash would
be paid over. Now, according to the
magazine Time, the Barlow farm presents
these picturesque figures:
A peasant clad in a Hawaiian grass
skirt driving ali OK team, another plow-
ing in the gold-laced costume of Spanish
bullfighter, gardner in the garb of a Chi
nese mandarin, a stable cleaner dressed in
Scotch kits, and SO on. All are feeling
foolish and are sullen, but each will prob
ably stick it out in order to get that 10000
francs at the end of the year.

THOSE GOOD OLD DAYS"

Most Of rs can easily remember the
good old days before the war when hob
bic skirts made walking all but impossible,
when elaborate feathers dropped fetching
ly from every feminine hat, when the tur-
key trot was the dance of the hour, when
moving picture houses were nickelodeons.
Today we laugh at the picturesque
mannerisms of 20 years ago, but there is
another side of the scene that was no
laughing matter. Evern Monday was a
blue Monday, and women got up at dawn
Clothes had been put to soak the night be-
fore. Backs were bent, knuckles bruised
over scrub-boards. It was afternoon be-
fore the complete washing was on the line.
Small wonder then over the interest
that followed the news that an electric
washing machine had been invented! It's
wooden tub sprouted maze of belts, le-
vers and gadgets, but, crude as it was, it
promised welcome relief from washday
drudgery. Washing machines have been
improved again and again, like automo-
biles, until they bear little resemblance to
the earlier models.
Better yet, washing machines no long
er are made for simply the families of the
well-to-do. They are produced in such a
wide range of prices that there is one suit
able for every family, regardless of the
homes size or circumstances.

TAXATION MENAcEs RECOVERY

1t is noteworthy fact that many OBJ
cervers fear that one of the greatest bar
riers to the success of the Administrations
recovery program is taxation.
Thousands of employers want to raise
wages and employ more men and women.
They want to do their part in starting the
march of progress again. But they can't
get money out of the air--and constant
~ increasing percentage of their revenue

1t would be a bitter irony if the eff
fort of one branch of government to re-
store prosperity is disrupted by another
branch of government. which takes from
the citizen and the business the money with
which prosperity can be made. That rigid
governmental economy-federal, state,
county and locals essential to our future,
is fact that looms large in the minds of
millions of citizens

CAPITAL

tHs Associated rressl
WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.--
Unless all signs fail, one of the
most closely watched agencies of
the federal government during the
coming months will be that OF the
supreme court of the United
States.
The executive and legislative
divisions of the government have
been the main show in the new
deal" thus far. The judiciary
hasn't had opportunity to play
much of a part as yet. The COM
ing months will determine the
part it is to play in the far
reaching changes in our govern
mental system inaugurated on
March 4.
Test Cases Forming
Decisions as significant as the
ruling in the bred Scott case just
before the War Between the
States may be handed down by
the nine justices.
Test eases of the ''new dear'
already are In the formative
stages. At least three of the
emergency laws of the Roosevelt
administration are in the process
of appeal to the supreme court.
The emergency banking law,
the agricultural act and the farm
and home loan mortgage meas
ures have been subjected to fire.
And 1t seems likely that other
test cases may spring from the
industrial recovery act.
Foresee Legal Line-Up
Some observers have gone so
far as to visualize the legal lineup
in the court chamber for the first
big test on the NRA when and if
it reaches the highest court. They
see Donald Richberg, one of the
country's foremost labor attorneys
and chief counsel for the NRA
taking the side of the government.
Opposed to him they see John w.
Davis, former democratic nomi-
nee for President.
Davis recently declared it to be
his belief that a worker had the
inalienable right 90 work at least
eight hours a day.
Richberg has criticized bitterly
lawyers whom he blames for bring
ing about much of the confusion
that exists today over labor pro-
visions of the recovery act.
See Possible Rulings
While the course of the supreme
court is unpredictable, legal ex-
perts have their own very definite
opinions as to which way the tri-
bunal will rule. Some confidently
expect the justices to 80 decide
that the purpose of congress and
the President, with the public
welfare closely in mind, will be
carried out.
Others hold that precedents
have had much to do with the
courts decisions in the past anC
will have heavy weight on those
to be handed down in the future
