 Every supreme court justice be- comes impressed tremendously with the importance of the court and with his responsibility for preserv- ing its majesty and popular pres- tige.
 That's why so many justices the late Justice Taft, as well as Hughes-have lab0red so hard in secret conferences for unanimous opinions.
 Perhaps in the chief justices private papers, long after he is dead, 1t will be learned how he really felt about AAA.
 Meanwhile, the only fellows who pretend to know anything about the matter insist that there will be very few 5-to-4 decisions while Hughes is on the bench. Copyright, 1938, NEA Service, Incl

If you thought the men could run business, then you are ad- vised to visit the Howland-Hughes store Saturday and sec how the women can show them up.
 Watch the Democrat and the ra- dio for announcements of the big day. Saturday is the 29th, the day that distinguishes 1886 from any other non-Leap Year. Therefore, 1t is fitting that the women should have their chance to show their ability to vie with men ifN the busi- ness world.
 Bargains Galore!
 The store will open at 9 o'clock Saturday morning with bargains galore. It will close at O'clock in the evening. Everything will be pre- sented to the public at special sale prices. Even the modern cafeteria in the Hughes store will be en ii ely under women's direction Saturday.
 The company has given the wom- en recognition in view of the Leap Year and has already elected offi- cers of the concern for the coming year. They are: Vice-chairman oi the board of directors, Miss Martha Mclean; president, Miss Helen Roche; controller, Miss Freda Kern; credit manager, Mrs. Jane Dev- ereaux: merchandise managers.
