Justice Layton Busy
Holding Two Courts

Justice Clarence f. Layton was
having a terrible time keeping
his mind straight Monday; he was
holding court in two court rooms
in one for himself and in an
other for Justice Blanche Funk
Miller.
Judge Miller left Monday for
Washington. ID. c., as a delegate
to an important convention of the
Federation of Women's Clubs. She
expects to be gone about two
weeks.
Judge Layton will sit as need
arises in both courts until her
return.
Whatever justice he metss out
in the Miller court room must ap-
pear on the Miller court books:
his own court must function as
usual. Justice, he said. must keep
at least one eye open in this sit
uation.

Emphasizes Postwar Job
Speaking to the student body,
DR.. Jones emphasized the necessity
of preparing to do the job that
will remain after the war is over.
1T doesn't make so much diff
ference what you do as how you
do it," said DR.. Jones. Neither
does it make so much difference
how long you live as how you live.
"One of the longest lives men,
toned in the Bible is dismissed
with very few words-'And all
the days of Methuselah were nine
hundred and sixty-nine years, and

Detectives Required
Jesus lived only thirty years
but the world is still talking about
Him and what he did.
Neither does it make much diff
ference how fast you go. There is
q stretch of road in Pennsylvania
on which you may drive 120 miles
an hour if you so desire. but you
won't have any tires when you
reach your destination. Even Il
