the commissioners a year ago. The
office pays $50 monthly.

doesn't change the accepted defini-
tions of illegal practice.
Recently the State Bar sponsored
a bill, which is now the law, raising
membership charges in the Bar from
So a year to SIS a year, and it was
openly stated in support of that pro-
pOsal that the money was needed tC
finance prosecutions for illegal prac-
tice. Heretofore disbarment actions
have been handled by private prac-
titioners without compensation.
Handling anything without compen-
sation isn't exactly in keeping with
the average lawyers philosophy The
proposed amendment imposes that
obligation upon the whole organiza-
ton, which recently employed full
time executive secretary.
Some prominent lawyers do not
think much of the proposed legisla-
ton, because they fear it gives too
much authority to the Council Of the
State Bar, but in general the lawyers
are for it. Insurance adjusters who
settle claims, and public accountants
who handle matters before various
tax commissions, don't like it at all
They argue that they, too, have tC
be licensed by the State and that the
services which they render clients
are necessary in line Of their regular
work.

o'clock in the Henderson high school
auditorium with Agnes Davis, the
lovely song soprano who in 1887
made her debut as Elsa in Wagner's
''Lohengrin" at the Metropolitan
Opera House, as guest artist.
In 1927 Miss Davis won national
prominence as winner of the first
prize in the AtWater Kent Radio

years free tuition. Having taught
physical culture in the public schools

Orchestra in its notable experiment
in opera, the Minneapolis Orchestra
where she was heard in a Wagner
program and in Handel's "Messiah'
