LAWYERS.
WASHINGTON lawyers are more Of
w a problem to law book people
than any other citys collection OF
legal lights.
The law book makers, II you did not
know it, are just like all other pro-
ducers in that they like to know po-
tential markets before they get into
production. In the average city, they
can figure that some 95 per cent of
the barristers are engaged in general
practice and all are potential buyers
of a book. actual purchase being de-
termined pretty largely by the size of
ones practice minus the number of
dependents.
That's not true here, however. The
extremes of specialization are en-
countered on every side. There are
tax lawyers, alcohol lawyers, trans
portation lawyers, domestic and inter-
national lawyers and scores of other
kinds. Some of them practice before
only one Government department,
others before several and in all kinds
of courts. You cannot tell what kind
Of lawyer lawyer is unless you hap
pen to know him personally. There
are so many that knowing them Is an
impossibility.

Dr.. 4. S. Boyd, Vice President
Of Panama, Ne,v ENJOY to U. S.

DR.. Boyd was chief surgeon until
his recent resignation to become Min
lister to the United States. His medi-
cal career was punctuated with poll
tics from 1905 to 1908 as president
Of the municipal council and in 1908
as head Of the first electoral council.
Except for a term in the Panamanian
Assembly from 1914 to 1918, the latter
part of his term as president, DR..
Boyd remained out Of politics until
1882, when he was the Liberal party's
candidate for president.
The assembly elected DR.. Boyd vice
president on September 4. President

The vice president OF Panama, DR..
Augusta 8. Boyd. was welcomed to
Washington today as Minister OF the
republic to the United States.
DR.. Boyd found Washington far
different from the city he knew dur
ing q brief visit as q young doctor IN
1900 when he was presented at the
White House and shook hands with
President Mckinley.
The new Minister is the grandson
Of Archibald Boyd Of England, who
Joined the gold rush to California IN
1849 and later settled in Panama to
become the first newspaper publisher
there.
DR.. Boyd set something Of a record
when he was graduated from Co.
lumbia University Medical School at
the age of 19. His interneship was
served in New York, followed by study
abroad. After two years Of practice
with q prominent surgeon In New
York he was called to Panama by his
government to take charge OF the
Saint Thomas Hospital at Panams
City.
