the postoffice and open court"
Commander Richmond explained.
.'And, of course, when I say
'postoffice', one mustn't get an idea
that they are anything like the
ones in this country. They just
push a few boxes and mail bags
aside and begin.

exciting events they have.
IF there is no postoffice or other
public building. the court is held on
board the cutter"

take them at any time.
The usual plea, when that charge
is made, is that the otter was not

such a council at joint dinner of
four Indiana engineering societies
last night in the Lincoln.
Dean Potter declared that the
American Engineering Council, a
combination of all engineering So
cieties of the nation, is in position
to give nonpartisan and unbiased
advice concerning projects requiring
engineering knowledge and expert
ence.
Through this advice, the Federal
Radio Commission was developed.
the antiquated system of the United
States Patent Office modernized,
and Boulder Dam built, he said.
Daniel W. Mead, who is professor
emeritus of hydraulic and sanitary
engineering at the University of
Wisconsin, stressed the necessity of
developing local sections of engi-
neering societies affiliated with the
national groups so that all can bene-
fit through engineering develop
ments.

elected president of the Indiana En-
cheering Society, succeeding w. A.
Hanley of Indianapolis. Other of
ficers are D. L. Curtner of Lafa-
yette, vice president, and Mr.. Han
ley Earl Caster and Charles Bross-
man, all of Indianapolis, and r. L.

holdover member of the Board of
trustees. w. A. Knapp of Lafayette
