which was granted.

BAR SPONSORS
CORPORATION
LAWCHANGE

Having accomplished one of its
primary objects in the passage OF
the new divorce law, the District
Bar Association is about to inaug-
urate a drive for another i'm.
portant revision Of local statutes
passage of a modern, uniform
corporation law.
William E. Richardson, promi-
nent local corporation lawyer,
who has headed a special bar
committee for two years, has an
nounced that his committee has
completed a tentative draft for a
new corporation law, modernizing
the 60-year.old statute now in op-
Grafton here. The draft is to be
submitted to the bar association
at an early meeting.
The proposed new law would
make it possible for both small
and large corporations to incorpo-
rate here in cases where Washing
ton is to be their principal place
of business, instead of going into
Delaware. Virginia or New Jersey,
where the corporation laws are
less stringent. Principally, the pro
posal would allow corporations to
be formed here without SubScrlb'
ing all of their capital stock and
with a nominal amount of capital
paid in.
Taxes on foreign corporations
operating here would make it con-
venient for local concerns to form
their corporate enterprises under
District law, and penalties for
noncompliance would insure an.
nual reports to a corporation com
mission, which the proposed law
would create.

Review of Latest
Library Books
Miss LindelOff Has Prepared Short
Accounts of Recent Volumes
For Benefit of Readers

Through the cooperation of Miss
Lind eloff, librarian of the Bryant
Labrary, we are able to publish
short accounts of recent books.
1t is not the purpose to give a
full knowledge of the book in the
short space, but it is hoped to
bring to readers of the commun-
ity an acquaintance with some of
the best and latest literature that
the library has in store. A means
is hereby offered through which
the readers might select books
from the shelves of the library. 1t
is the plan to carry these reviews
as long as possible. Four have
been chosen for this week; a
treatise on fishing, two fiction
books, and one which is important
to us as moderns, a non-ficition.

used for premiums for individual
exhibitors. The board has raised
the premiums on horses, cattle,
hogs, sheep and poultry 25 per
cent this year, which is equal to
the standard of former years. This
years premiums will total S2O75,
the largest amount ever Offered.
The directors also decided to main
tain the reduced admission fee of
Csc, as inaugurated during the
past year. The rule of last year,
in which no exhibitor shall receive
more than second premium unless
said exhibitor has competition in
the lot entered, will be maintained
this year.
Owing to the fact that the out
look for a good hay crop on the
ten acre plot at the fair grounds is
excellent the directors voted to
cut the hay for use at the fair this
year. The All clubs will furnish
their own feed and caretakers.

Blue Eagle To Die
On Next Sunday
Opinions Differ About What The
Administration Has
Accomplished

Washington After midnight
next Sunday, the Blue Eagle of
MIRA will be little more than a
skeleton to be picked over by
statisticians and economists.
The Jaw that gave the bird life
two years ago will expire at that
hour. This legal passing will be
something of an anti-climax. The
supreme court already has killed
industrial codes which formed the
major part of the plan admins
tered by Hugh S. Johnson, Donald
r. Richberg and a staff that now
numbers 5,4OO.
Congress may retain some Of the
MIRA pilots to watch how business
gets along without code controls.
But President Roosevelt has indi-
Gated he has little hope of reviv-
ing the venture generally unless
public opinion opens a broader
path for federal regulation.
1t has cost the government in
the neighborhood of $20,0O0,000
and industry, which supported the
code authorities, is estimated to
have paid anywhere from $50,00O,-
600 to S2OO,000,0O0.
What the recovery administra-
ton has contributed to American
life is a question sure to fire de-
bate. In it's hey-dey officials pro-
duced figures to show that 2,275,-
600 had found jobs because of
codes. The administration has con-
tended MIRA stopped an orgy of
wage-cutting and frightening Of
hours.

we have ever known them before.

tSalah and His American by
Leland Hall:
This book is not fiction, but a
story from life. You cannot de-
scribe it, yet you have to read but
few pages to surrender to its
mood. Salah is young negro
boy, out of work and stranded,
who fastens himself like a faith
full dog on an American visiting
in Morocco. The man finally en-
cages him as a houseboy, and
Salah roots himself unbudgingly.
He cannot understand that he is
a servant for a month, not a life
time. The American, frightened
of his responsibility, tries to solve
Salah's future by having him
taught a trade. Salah is finally
left behind-equipped to drive
car.
This is a story of two very diff
ferent people in cruel and heart
breaking relationship, and an ex-
cellent picture of life in an Afri-
can city.
Road to War - America, 1914

"Mr. Mills has written a book
that is as important as it is in

merely the evolution of events
which brought America into tn :
World War; but he has discovered
the motives of statesmen, the in
volved patterns of public opinion,
that technique of propaganda
which harnesses reason to emo
tions. 1t is a history without a
hero. At every stage of his mar
rative, Mr.. Mills writes of men
unequal to the immense problems
they had to confront.

entrance of America into war a

Privacy for
Garden

Walled courtyards are great
luxuries where homes are To-
Gated on small pieces of prop
erty.
The usual pattern Of subur-
ban towns does not allow a
great degree of privacy in out
door living rooms. Houses set
a certain distance apart on the
average small town street make
it impossible for the Jones
family not to appear in full
view of the Browns and the
Smiths when they are in their
gardens.
To remedy this situation. a
wall may be built around a
garden, forming a courtyard
and giving privacy to the occu-
pants of the house. This can
be built in such a manner that
the view of the garden from the
house is not spoiled.
Artistic planting along the
outer side of the wall will make
the view from the street attrac-

NEVER TOO LATE
ar Mrs. Beeckman:

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
81 have a rather unusual cir
cumStance which arose.
"Our choir members gave a
girl, who is to be married next
month, a party and a shower,
after rehearsal one evening. AS
I have been unable to attend
rehearsalS some time before, I
was unaware of the party
shower, and it just happened
that 1 attended rehearsal that
evening.

but they insisted that / attend
the shower.
"Is it proper for me to give
the girl a shower gift now, or
wait until her wedding? I have
been invited to her wedding
and reception. If it is proper,
would prefer to give it to her
before, perhaps as a "chest"
gift or something. H."
BY all means carry out your
generous plan Of giving this girl
a shower present. suggest
that with your gift you send
her a little note explaining why

she doesn't really love him.
But she has him.
"And here 1 am, with my
life ruined and over"
In this case. at least-and
who knows in how many
others?-it is heartbreaking to
admit that abounding love on
the girls part has not been
enough to save the day. Did
Jim feel too sure of this de-
voted girl who so generously
adored him, and who gave up
years of her precious youth to
Shaving in the interest of his
future comfort?
Or would it be fairer to say
that he was uncomfortable be-
cause he really wasn't playing
the mans part in this love situ-
alton? So that when a purely
selfish siren came along, who
gave him a chance to do all the
loving, all the working, and like
wise all the worrying, he fell for
her and for the chance to play
a completely masculine role.
We can never love too much.
But if we are women, it is per
haps we'll that we keep some
part of our love secret. so that
our lovers may never be quite
sure just what treasures our
hearts hold for them.
Women have to learn that
there is an art in loving as in
letting themselves be loved, and
it's tragic, indeed, when we lose
a lover merely because we didn't
know how to weave a few
charming tissues of perfectly
harmless deceit.

Carriers Match

AS to garters Of today, they
are getting back to gaiety a
little. At least men indulge
their taste in color when they
select their garterS. And there
are many new features that
make them more comfortable.
So many, in fact, that the trend
is back to garters instead of
away from them, as it was a few
years ago when it became "col-
legiate" to go without them.
Now men just don't feel we'll
dressed, or look it. with socks
hanging about the tops of their
shoes.
Many times, garterS match
braces. and there's a story.
Especially as braces are more
popular than they've been since
the days of congress CATERS ..
whenever it was they reached
their great peak. The modern
high-rise trousers are responsible
for most of that and then
braces have been improved, too.
The latest development is what
is called the ''cuStomfit" back. a
cross piece that can be adjusted
to fit a thin man or a heavy
man, and the braces will be
comfortable for all. except
possibly men who take extra
length, and, of course, they are
made the same way.
