PHILADELPHIA, Sept. e.-Charles
A. Beardsley, president Of the Amer
lean Bar Association, opened the
$50 annual convention today with
a call to the Nations 10000 lawyers
and judges for "enightened leader
ship" in keeping the United States
at peace and prepared against war.
"This meeting" he said in a pre-
pared keynote address, "symbolzes
our refusal to obey the command
issued to laws and lawyers-to hold
their tongues among arms"
Mr.. Beardsley, an Oakland, Calf,
attorney, asserted that in the past
10 years four grave problems have
arisen to challenge Americas legal
profession:
|. Marked growth in the abuses
of bureaucratic power"
2. widespread unemployment,
popular discomfort and class con-
sciousness."
3. THE incessant impact of for
eign and domestic propaganda
against our form of government and
against our American economic sys-
tenn"
4. "All but worldwide wars, pre-
ceded and accompanied by an era
of international laWleSSnesS and i'm
morality"
Responsible for Leadership.
It is the individual and collective
responsibility of lawyers and judges,
the Bar Association president en-
phasized, ito solve these problems
and to provide the American people
with the enlightened leadership that
will enable them to combat these
forces of destruction"
Mr.. Beardsley, speaking In the
sedate Academy of Music to thou-
sands of lawyers gathered for the
four-day meeting, warned that 'un-
preparedness for peace, just as
surely as unpreparedneSs for war,
could result in destruction OF a
civilization"
Mr.. Beardsley declared that the
best service the legal profession can
render in national preparedness is TO
protect and defend" the Federal
Constitution.
Howard S. Leroy, professor OF law
at National University, washington,
D. c., in an address prepared Tor
conference on international and
comparative law, pointed out that
'air warfare is not now subject 10
international legal limitation"
Attempts at limitation have not
been effective" he declared, naming
as contributory factors "the phe-
nomenal success of the aeronautlcal
art, and the consequence of its ap-
plication to the technique OF totaI-
tartan war"
More Airports Urged.
A committee on aeronautical law
recommended the establishment OF
many more airports and emergency
landing fields, and improving exist
ing airports." The committee added
there should be further appropria-
. tions and legislation, both State and
Federal, for the purpose.
Addressing a junior bar confer
ence yesterday, Robert P. Paterson,
Assistant Secretary Of War, asserted
that throughout the present phase
of Il armament program note Of
cooperation has been struck"
"There are at least two changes in
legislation necessary before indus
, try can go full speed ahead toward
the desired objective The first
deals with the problem of amortiza-
ton; the second, with profit limita-
tions. Both are before the Con-
gress."

Many of the new fashions are very
unique and out of the usual this sea-

drastic change in matter of silhou-

novelty of the pencil slim coat or

the hemline will eventually spend it.

ment f1ounces appearing on frocks
and coats carry a thrill. This. is
especially true in regard to the fur
fiounced silhouette. The dressmak-
er coat pictured has new written
all over it because of its fur founce.
After the first hutter of excitement
is over, the founced silhouette of
this character promises to be one
of the most widely accepted fashions
brought out this season.

II always supposed Old Man
Coyote was reasonably smart" said
she.
how he had been smart enough to
outwit Farmer Browns Boy and
lead Bowser right into the trouble
which had been intended for him.
When Farmer Browns Boy had
started out that morning to look at
the traps he had set for Old Man
Coyote there had been a great
cackling and squawking of fright
among the ducks and chickens, and
Bowser had started right away to
find out what it meant. Right away
he had found the fresh tracks of Old
Man Coyote, just as the latter had
meant that he should. In fact, Old
Man Coyote had frightened the
ducks and chickens just so that
Bowser would try to find out what
the matter was. Off Bowser had
started on Old Man Coyotes trail,
barking at the top of his lungs. Old
Man Coyote kept just far enough
ahead of Bowser to make him think
that he would catch up in a few
minutes.
Straight away across the Green
Meadows went Old Man Coyote
toward the far corner, where his
home was. Old Granny Fox and
Reddy Fox heard Bowser's voice
and they knew what it meant They
had heard it SO often behind them
that now they looked at each other
and grinned to think that it meant
trouble for some one else and par
ticularly because it meant that Old
Man Coyote was having to run for
his life. At least they supposed that
that was what he was doing. You
know, they have no love for Old
Man Coyote. Old Granny Fox was
very much surprised when she saw
that he was running straight for his
home. She turned up her nose.
II always supposed that Old Man
Coyote was reasonably smart" said
she, out l was mistaken. A SIX
months old Fox would know better
than to go to his home until he just
had to and was sure that he couldn't
fool the dog. Hello, what's that?
What's happened to that silly dog?"
Both she and Reddy pricked up
their ears. They heard just what
Farmer Browns Boy heard and
which set him to running as fast as
he could-yelps and howls of pain
and fright from Bowser the Hound.
You see, Old Man Coyote hadn't
been stupid at all, as Granny sup
posed. He had gone straight home
for purpose, and that purpose was
to get Bowser the Hound into the
very trouble which was making him
howl so now. AS he drew near his

home Old Man Coyote had allowed
Bowser to almost catch up with
him, and Bowser had grown so ex-
cited that he couldn't think of any,
thing else. Now, Old Man Coyote
knew just exactly where each trap
was that Farmer Browns Boy had
set for him and when he reached
the first of these he lightly jumped
over it.
But Bowser wasn't thinking Of
traps. He could think of nothing
but catching Old Man Coyote. When
he reached the trap, which, you
know, was hidden, he didn't see or
smell it. He put one foot squarely
into it. Snap! Two cruel steel jaws
seized Bowser's leg, and he was a
prisoner! He was caught in the
very way that Farmer Browns Boy
had meant that Old Man Coyote
should be caught. And sitting down
just a little way off and laughing
at him was Old Man Coyote him

Important Friday

While most of the country worries about the
dongs OF Congress- the wars in Europe or the cold
weather Friday, January 26, turns up on our
calendars The date is of vital concern to Americans
for it marks the ending of our commercial pact with
Japan in effect since 1911, but denounced last year
by the United States.
Lapse of the treaty has stirred considerably more
attention in Japan than here The Japanese mortaly
dread an American boycott on their goods, which
might follow. Indeed, the this country decided
to end the treaty was to deal the Japanese diplo
matte se-punching because of their treatment of
both Americans and Chinese in China.
Although it is likely that trade viii continue
before between the two nations, there is chance
that it may be stopped completely. Many Americans
already feel that boycott should be enacted against
Japan. Should that sentiment prevail at any time in
the future, the boycott could be adopted swiftly,
hindered by treaty pledges.
It's easy to understand why the japanese are
excited this possibility. America is Japans best
market. Half of the Island Empires silk production
and she produces three-fourths of the worlds raw
silk supply-is sold to this country. Nowhere else
could she dispose of SO great quantity of her most
important product. Further she relies upon the
United States for numerous vital supplies: for
pie. more than half of her yearly imports of autos
and OIL most of her cotton, and wood lead, hides
copper and scrap metals.
Undoubtedly she could obtain these supplies else
where, but the cost would be greater and put an
added strain her already precarious, wartime
economy.
Naturally, the United States derives profit from
this trade-many times more than from that with
Chlna-but we could better stand to lose it. Our
economic set-up makes this country far more indie
pendent of trade with other lands.
On the other hand, would suffer very real
hardshps from commercial break with Japan. Silk
substitutes though much talked of, are far from
perfected, and women have to do without silk
hose. The profit made by American silk professors
who pay wages to American laborers producing silk
stockings underwear, yarn and other materials would
be lost. Our 100000 silk workers would be forced
into other occupations unemployment. This effect
would be almost bad that upon the many indus
tries which would lose their sales to Japan
We agree that Something should be- done to keep
the Japanese from continually stepping on Uncle
Sans toes. But it should be remembered that COM
mercial boycotts hurt both parties involved

PERMANENT AIR WAVES

PERMANENT AIR WAVES
/ never have to read these days;
The radio suffices.
In slowly moving plots and plays,
1t follows strange devices.
The air is rent with gangsters
threats,
With heroes, brave undaunted;
With women's tears of wild regert,
With love unshared, unwanted.
The daily news tide GIBBS and flows
With correspondents, guessing;
A dreary tale of coming woes,
But seldom of blessing.
The room is filled with dying
breaths,
And gruesome is the story.
Machine guns cause a dozen deaths
While G-Men ride to glory.
/ never have to read these times,
The air is so romantic.
It keeps me solving awful crimes
And nearly drive me frantic.

Franklin's National Bird

Benjamin Franklin wanted the
turkey, not the eagle, to be the
national bird of the United
States. He didn't succeed in put
ting his idea across with the
other founding fathers, but on
one day in the year at least the
turkey eclipses the eagle and sage
old Ben has his way. Yet not
quite, for the turkey that graces
our tables on Thanksgiving day is
not the native American bird that
Franklin had in mind. The tame
turkey of the barnyard is not the
same species as the wild turkey
that once roamed all the eastern
woods. 1t is a tropical cousin
brought up by indirect route
from below the Rio Grande.
