Hospital, is spending his twelfth New
Year day in bed. On his bedside table
are cards from the few who remem-

Through the window near his cot come
sounds of laughter and gayety from
outside. But to Davis it means only
another milestone on an endless road.

lying still and waiting.
At a zero hour IA years ago, Corpl.
Davis, who had enlisted in the In
fantry, Goth Division. II days after
America entered the war, crept stealth
lily forward toward the enemy trenches.
The plan was for concentrated sur
prise attack. Soon enough the enemy
discovered the maneuver. The air was
loud with screaming shells. Gas swept
the field like windstorm. To Davis,
fighting desperately and oblivious to
anything but the exhilaration OF battle,
there came suddenly that tragic mo-
ment he can't remember. A heavy
cloud of poison gas scribbled the word
Finished deeply into his lungs. Al
most the same instant shrapnel sunk
itself in his body He lay where he fell
for two hours before he was picked up.
That was his first two hours Of life
sentence.
1t was the beginning of the real fight
for Davis. The outlines of the long
road began to shape themselves. He
was shipped back to the States and
discharged. Arrived here, he entered

LIBRARY EXPANSION
NAMED'
American Bar Association
Acts on Increasing Con-
gress Law Facilities.

Pursuant to a resolution adopted by
the American Bar Association, an
nouncement was made yesterday that
President Clarence e. Martin has ap-
pointed a committee to consider and
report on ways to expand the existing
facilities Of the Law Library Of Con-
gress.
The Bar Association favored this ex-
panSion at its first general session In
October and the committee was an
nounced as follows: James o. Muir
dock, professor of international law Of
George Washington University; Charles
Warren, author of 1.-THE Supreme Court
in United States History; Dean Roscoe
Pound of the Harvard Law School, VIII
liam L. Frierson, former Solicitor Cen
eral of the United States, and George
w. Wickersham, president Of the Amer
lean Law Institute.
Marks New Era.
This movement may be said to mark
new era in the history Of the Law
Library of Congress. There Is no ques-
ton but that the committee, in COM

the opinion of justice Harlan Fiske
Stone, at hearings on the legislative ap-

quate collection of legal material Is Of
immense importance right now and will

The Law Library is national library
which serves not only the legislative,
judicial and executive branches Of the
Government, but is the great consulting
library of the bench and bar. Nor is
its use said to be confined to the legal
expert, for many historical researcher
has come to realize its usefulness.

Davis was told that because of the con-
dition of his lungs any anesthetic was
impossible. He told them to go ahead.
They did. For five and half hours
he lay on the operating table, fully
conscious, while they tied together three
bones. The doctors, marveling at his
nerve, declared him the gamest man
they knew.
But nerve Is an old story to Davis.
He has developed that real courage of

courage Of wild battle leaves of. His
dread enemy Is monotony.

for Davis, there remains for him at

back with those eyes of his that have
developed the trick Of looking through

M'kELLAR UNMOvED
BY CAMPBELL PLEA
Tennessee Senator Still Believes
Federal Classification Law
Should Be Repealed.

Senator McKellar, Democrat, Of Ten
nessee, author of a bill to repeal the
Government classification law, dis
agreed last night with President Thom-
as z. Campbell of the Civil Service
Commission, who wrote to the Senator
Friday In defense of the classification
act and urging its retention.
The Tennessee Senator said he still
believes the law should be repealed. Ex-
planning his reason for faVoring clas-
sification repeal, Mcclellan said he takes
the view the heads of departments are
in better position to pass on the status
or promotion of employees working under
them than a central classification
agency. Congress at the last session
abolished the Personnel Classification
Board and transferred its duties to the
Civil Service Commission.
The classification system was es-
tablished by Congress in 1928, and
under its operation salary schedules
have been set up for various grades. ac-
cording to standardized qualifications
for each class Of work. The bill has
been referred to committee, but has not
yet been taken up for consideration.
