the increased mortality is very rapid.
In the period between 1926 and 1885,
l,670 young adults in the District be-
tween 20 and 20 years of age died
OF tuberculosis. Early discovery
means early recovery. Finding the
early cases in the high school age

fessor Says at Meeting.
A need for more lawyers in the
Nation, despite the belief in some
quarters that the American bar ad-
mits attorneys on too much Of a
wholesale basis, was seen by Prof.
John Macarthur Mcguire of Harvard
Law School, who addressed luncheon
meeting Of the Washington Harvard
Club yesterday at the Cosmos Club.
Sir John Simon, British cabinet
member, on one of his trips to the
United States registered disapproval
of our wholesale methods of training
attorneys, Prof. Mcguire declared
However, due to multiplied con-
facts between government and citi-
Eens" and pressure groups" large
number Of well-trained lawyers are
needed as 'go betweens" and should
be used as service stations instead
of repair shops" or, in other words,
more as consultants and not so much
as counsel in actual suits, he said.

Once he was blinking under the
strong glare of the lights in the
ring, he had small chance to ponder
the situation. At the sound of the

tucked in the belt of his trunks, a
gage of battle Maize had given him,
and stepped quickly forward to meet
the oncoming McGinnis.

his cracked and pounded lips. What

so easily to be appeased.

But he kept control, with his mind

be likely to ring out in the accus-

Ray adhered firmly to the weekly
hunch that some day he would afix
himself firmly to the professional
