THE LEGAL PROFESSION AND MASS
PRODUCTION
(By BRUCE CATION

. There has been, IN the last year OF So
an increasing movement on the part OF par
associations throughout the United States
to place legal service on rapid-turnoVer'
low-cost basis for those who need 1t. The
aim of this movement is the legal service
bureau, an organization run by the bar to
operate on a scale of moderate prices and
reaching the legal needs of low income
groups.
The legal service bureau is sharply dis
tinguished from the legal aid societies
which furnish free advice and service to
those persons unable to pay even a mod
crate fee for legal aid.
The movement represents the first step
of the legal profession toward mass pro-
duction, toward Standardization of prices
and services. The legal service bureau be-
comes shop where prices are set in scale
and the process of industrialization is ap-
piled to the law for the first time.
It's great break for the people who
have long needed legal service at mod
crate fee-the laborer, the salaried man
and the small business man.
Under plan recently devised and pro-
posed for use, such bureau would offer
service in lines considerably specialized
and therefore almost routine for the attor-
neys handling them. They included drafts
manship of various legal papers Cat stand
ard prices Obtainable in advance) simple
wills, leases, contracts, handling of certain
Of HUoO
versieS; garnishments, claims for alimony,
separate maintenance and support, mort
gage foreclosures, insurance claims, acct
dent cases and some criminal trials.
The bureaus, it was pointed out, will
handle many classes of cases which are
not being handled by lawyers in private
practice because the money involved is too
small and the legal procedure too compli-
cated-as services required by automobile
owners in connection with petty infractions
Of the law or damages to property.
Included in the recommendation for the
bureau were notations that the organiza-
ton probably would not be self-supporting
the first year or two but thereafter would
be entirely so, and there were provisions
for branch offices.
The recommendations tacitly limited that
in this legal service bureau young attorneys
with crisp, new diplomas could get sorely
needed apprenticeship under the supervi-
sion of experienced oldsters. 1t would give
them living and training at the same
time.
Many established attorneys will hold, as
cOunselors have always held, that the rela-
tiOnship of attorney and client is extremely
personal and confidential, and that legal
industrialization will destroy in the bar
that which has always been its greatest
attribute.
Carried to its farthest conclusion the le-
gal service bureau might do that, but it
seems clear the originators OF the plan aim
to set a limit to its functions. Lawyers, like
all of US, are living in a world that has
changed, while the legal profession is one
of the slowest to change steps. The ban
can progress honorably - without losing
one single idea.

TALK CAN BE GOLDEN

successful approach is to ask man
which make of car he advises your
buying. This will carry you through
three courses if necessary. Also, to a
man, you can talk about sports -
if you know anything about them!
To a woman - if you and she have
children you can talk about them.
And there are plenty of current prob
lens in your neighborhood. Best OF
all, there is always the last edition of
the newspaper.
1t is true that there are certain.
definite qualities required of those
who would be interesting takers. The
first is that you shall know what you're
talking about. The second is that you
notice whether your topic is of interest
to the person with whom you talk
A bore is one who insists on telling
you something you do not want to
hear.
The least help to successful con-
versation is to make statement of
fact to which there is no answer. except
a counter er-statement Asking ques-
tions, on the other hand. is very en-
couraging. But do not ask questions
that may cause embarrassment For
example. don't ask a new acquaint
ance if he knows the Hianmitys. or il
he has read so and So book. or if he is
familiar with this or that place abroad
1t gives everyone a disqualified feel
ing to have to say no several times
and succession of nos would kill the
most friendly impulse.

than she does the violent expression
of political opinion Among these must
be listed the topics chosen by the anti
prudists, the realists and the fact
fanatics, whose conversation is. at any
moment. likely to 60 stark nudlst.
Subjects suitable for discussion in
physicians consulting room. or in
hospital clinic, are not pleasant for
conversation. Best people cannot
accept the standards of unshockables
without destroying the tenets OF good
taste. The safe rule for those in doubt
is not to take social conversation out
of the drawing room into the dressing
room, nor to open the door OF the
medicine cabinet.
But now let me give few practical
directions to those whose ideas die
and whose tongues become paralyzed
when they have to talk to a stranger.
First of all. take it easily. Look into
the probably friendly face of the per
son before you: forget your terror -
and smile. Don't be frightened if there
is a pause. Remember that the person
to whom you are talking has just as
much responsibility for finding some
thing to talk about as you have. Shy
people always forget this and get into
a panic.
When you have to talk to a total
stranger sitting next to you at lunch
or at dinner. an easy rule is: Introduce
yourself. And then. add something
about who you are. and what you do.
Say, for example: II live in the white
house down the street. My husband
is a doctor; we have two young chill
dren. I'm an ardent Democrat (or
Republican,. This gives the other
person several subjects to choose from,
or chance to tell you who he is and
what he's interested in.
If you are really well-informed on
the subject of politics. you will never
find it hard to talk to a man. Another

THIS WEEK MAGAZINE

HIS simple little request arrived
by airmail. special delivery. from
- a group of undergraduates in an
eastern university: will you please
send US complete directions for carry
ing on brilliant conversation. We
would especially appreciate sample
dialogues, illustrating conversation
typical of the smartest circles in best
society, and the dialogue of successful
plays"
At first thought. there seemed moth
ing to do except forward this letter to
Bernard Shaw. But l can at least
reply that. even in very best society.
brilliant conversation is rare. More
over, its flashes are always inter-
spersed with lengths of commonplace
talk. 1t is unreasonable to expect
conversation at the Smiths or the
Browns or in our own house -
to measure up to the brilliantly writ
ten and selectively condensed dialogue
of a successful play.
Conversation is like a game of
tennis, in that one person serves the
ball and the other returns it. But,
whereas in tennis the ball is sent over
the net with the intention of making
the return play as difficult as possible,
in conversation the ball is placed SO
that ones opponent is given a chance
to return it. In any case. conversation
is an exchange of talk between two
or more persons When one person
insists upon doing all the talking. this
is not conversation.
If the Art of Conversation, as it
used to be called. has gone out of
practice. Talk" has come in!
No one who reads the daily papers
in these exciting times can possibly
lack the impulse to voice opinions. or
else to appeal to others for answers to
urgent questions! In short. the con-
tinuous effort to find topics of con-
versation need no longer be made.
And a hostess today is only too likely
to be at her wits end to keep intense
feelings from turning her dinner table.

 T am indebted to the Alaska Steamship Company, and to the Ma tional Broadcasting Company, foi making it possible for me to broad cast my greetings to the people oi Alaska, and to remind the people of the United States of Alaska's i'm portance to our country. On this modern and comfortable ship are many Americans who, like myself are going to Alaska for the first time, and also many others who having experienced the thrills and pleasures of a visit to that wonder ful Territory, are going back for another visit.
 We in the United States are proud of Alaska, proud of it's peo- ole. and I am sure that it is the de- sire of every true American that this great Territory shall be de- veloped in every way to protect and conserve it's almost limitless natural resources

year these receipts amounted to s218.OOO. while for the first eleven months of the fiscal year 1888 they have totaled about $237 900. It is expected that there will be a pro- Dortionate increase for the final month of the fiscal year.
 At the close of the last fiscal year there were one hundred and ainety-nine post offices in Alaska, and about sixty star routes. As re- ,ent as two weeks ago the Post Off, ice Department had authorized air mail service on thirty-tWo of these
 tar routes. The total mileage of all
 tar routes, including those served )y airplane service and by other means such as dog teams, horses
 md automobiles, is five thousand, inc hundred miles.
 During the fiscal year 1887 the )0st offices in Alaska handled forty
 wo thousand registered articles, md thirty-nine thousand insured ,rticles. Quite a large percentage f these registered and insured ar icles were packages containing gold
 nd furs shipped out of Alaska to he United States. The parcel post ervice has proved extremely popu- 1T with the residents of Alaska who '0nstantly use this service to bring merchandise from the United States and to ship many of their own pro- iucts out of the Territory.
 Postal Savings Systems
 Tn order to afford the resIuents # Alaska the benefits of the Postal 7avings System, twelve post offices rave been designated as Postal Saw ngs Depositories, and the average ,alance to the credit of depositors Alaska is fifty percent greater han in the continental United 7tates. Approximately one million dollars is held to the credit of AL 1skans in the postal savings offices n the Territory.
 The special Alaskan stamp, is- ned in the Territorial Series of lc37, has focused much attention on Alaska. It is of the three-cent denomination, and stamps of this are the most eXten- sively used Up to June 30 of this year more than sixty-eight million of these special Alaskan stamps have been issued, and they are on sale at all post offices in the contin- ental United States.
 Post Office Buildings
 Tn keeping with the Post Office Department policy of providing modern quarters for the housing of of its post offices, nearly two mill lion dollars has been allocated for post office buildings at Ketchikan, Nome, Sitka, and Anchorage dur ing the past four years. The build ings at Sitka and Ketchikan have already been occupied, while the one at Nome is now nearing completion The new building at Anchorage will be erected just as soon as the draw ings are completed by the office of the Supervising Architect of the Treasury Department.

United States were several years ago erected in Juneau, Seward. and Fairbanks.
 After attempting to give you an insight into the scope and type of postal service which, at present is being maintained in Alaska. I am now going to mention briefly a de- velopment of our Alaskan service which we have had in mind for some years, and which we believe will be realized in the near future. refer to the proposed new air mail route which is to link the continen- tai United States with Alaska.
 Seattle Juneau Air Mail
 This route will begin at Seattle, Wash, the great financial and com mercial center of the Pacific north west, through which practically all of the business between the United States and Alaska flows, and will proceed via Wrangell, Ketchikan and Petersburg to Juneau. the Capital City and one of the princi- pal cities of Alaska, and there con- meet with the routes to Nome and Bethel. This proposed new route will provide a real trunk line air trans portation service from the United States into the principal points of the Territory.
 Congress has made available an appropriation for this route and we hope to have it established during the present fiscal year. Our ulti- mate hope is to establish this route overwater outside of the three mile limit so that we will not have to fly over any foreign territory. As. you know British Columbia. one of the important provinces of Can- ada, lies between the northern bor- der of the continental United States and Alaska, so that for distance of about seven hundred miles airplanes flying over the inland waterway would have to traverse Canadian territory.
 Studying Route
 During the past three years much study has been given to the possibilities of a route from Seattle to Juneau. The present obstacle to it's immediate establishment over water outside the three-mile limit is lack of proper equipment. EX- perts who have given much thought to this route are inclined to the opinion that if it is established out side the three mile limit, four motored seaplanes should be used. A sufficient number of such planes is not now available. We are ex- ploring the possibilities of temper arily establishing the route over the inland waterway with the idea of transferring operations to the out side route in two or three years. To fly the inside route would neces- sitate permission from the Cana dian government. It is believed that if such permission can be obtained, this route can be easily flown by tWo-motored planes which would be available at very early date.
 Meeting Friends
