That the banks of the District
of Columbia are more than willing
to cooperate has been amply dem
onStrated already, and there are
signs that the cooperation will be
carried farther.
A healthy sign is the fact that
one local banker has proposed that

LAWYERS HAIL
CURB ON SALE
Of FORMS

Recent efforts of the Bar AsSo-
citation to have stationers diScon-
tinue the practice of advertising
and selling legal forms to lay per-
sons, have met with varied success,
according to late reports.
Three firms of the city catering
to the wants of the lawyer had adj
vertiSements conspicuously dis
played in show windows to the ef-
feet that legal forms could be OBJ
tanned there. The bar association
undertook to have this advertise
ment withdrawn.
The w. F. Roberts Company,
Connecticut Avenue printing firm,
Immediately complied with the re-
quest and informed the bar COM
mittee in writing that it had done
so.
One other firm did not even re-
ply to the committee and the
other replied to the effect that it
would not accede to the request.
There is more to the sale OF
legal forms to laymen than meets
the casual eye as a brief review OF
some of the recent District SUI
preme Court litigation will prove.
It has not been many weeks
since there was completed one
of the most expensive pieces OF
litigation in that court, from q
comparative viewpoint, and II
had it's origin in the use by a
testatrix of a blank form in max,
ing her will. Apparently she had
thought the forms were all stand
ardized, and some years after she
had made her will on one OF the
money-Saving forms advertised by
some dealers, she decided to
change certain portions OF the
instrument.
Not wishing to destroy the en-
tire document and believing the
first part of the will to be in
accord with her wishes, she sim
ply tore the first page, destroyed
the second and appended a sec
ond page from another form pur
chased from a different stationer
The result was that the will
on being filed for probate lacked
conference, continuity and many
other things that wills must have
Its probate was refused and the
prolonged litigation that followed
the attempt shows that ethical
lawyers are not exactly selfish
when they advise the public to
have their legal papers drawn by
an expert.
