Their teaming was inspirational
and all Groucho had to do was
coast along for the ride.
Once he asked her what was
wrong with the married women
of today.
She thought for a moment and
replied:

responded with knowing nod
On another occasion. he asked
if there was one thing the wife
should remember to do to in

What was so important about
a handkerchief in the pocket

Secretary Says
Office Receipts
Are Double Costs

COLUMBUS-Secretary of State
Ted w. Brown said today that his
office has again proved to be three
times self sustaining.
For the second year in success
sion the fees collected by Secre-
tary of State Brown and turned in
to the General Revenue Fund of
the state are around the 81 mil
lion mark which is double the
number of new business corpora
tions chartered by the Secretary
of State, with records being shat
tered both in 1855 and 1856. How
ever, Brown reports, although the
volume is still exceedingly high
this year, the number of new in,
corporations in 1857 is expected tc
be slightly under the record oi
1856.
The greatest portion of fees col.
lected by the Secretary of State
come from interpretations, amend
ments of corporate articles, mer
gers of corporations and the licens
ing of foreign corporations to dC
business in Ohio, although fees art
required by law for number o
other filings, issuance of commits
SionS, etc.

Radio
Offers Musicals
lin Natural Tones

COLUMBUS, o. - The Ohio
State University radio stations,
WOSU and AM and FIN, have
launched weekly series of hour
long stereophonic music broad
casts starting at 4:30 p. m. Sun
days.
The pioneering educational sta
tons, well known throughout Cen
tral Ohio for their good music"
programs, last February 3 carried
what is believed to be the first
"live" stereophonic broadcast of
music in this area. Performing
group was the university's Concert
Band.
Subsequent stereophonic pro-
grams featured performances of
the Little Orchestra, the Mems
Glee Club, the University String
Quartet and a jazz pianist.
Enthusiastic response of listen
ers prompted the programming of
the new 13-week series, according
to WOSU officials. This years
programs will include tape record
ings of famous symphony orches-
tras made and broadcast under
stereophonic conditions as well as
live" pickups.
A stereophonic broadcast is de-
scribed as one producing three-di-
mensional sound. 1t is made by
placing separate microphones in
front of each side of the orchestra,
with each microphone feeding its
individual amplifier and sending
the signal to its own tranSmitter
The microphone on the left feeds
the F'M transmitter, and that on
the right the AM transmitter
To receive these WOSU broad
casts, listener uses two radios
one standard AM set and the 9TH
er equipped for FM. The FIN set,
placed on the left, is tuned to 89.7
me-, and the AM receiver, on the
right, is tuned to $50 kc. The ra-
dios should be approximately II
feet apart, with the volume adjust
ed so that they are about equal.
In such stereophonic broadcasts,
WOSU staffers explain: You hear
the violins on the left side where
they are. supposed to be, the cellos
along the right, and the violas and
woodwinds in the center The or
chestra has depth and dimension.

Any contest must be conducted
under proper rules. The trial of a
law suit is contest. The advers-
ary parties, represented by their
lawyers as advocates, go before the
court or jury to present their re-
spective claims as to the matter in
dispute.
Each seeks victory. Hence, the
law suit contains all the elements
of a contest.
Without rules, a trial in court
could not be conducted in fairness
to all parties. Since fairness, truth
and complete justice are the ulti-
mate detectives of any trial, it is
essential that the rules of the con-
test accomplish these results.
Among the rules that are used in
the tri a of a law suit are the
rules of evidence" They prescribe
what evidence may be received
from whom, and in what manner
The purpose of these rules is to
m k e as certain as possible that
the truth of the controversy will be
ascertained. Discovery of the truth
is of major importance.
For example, it is we'll known
that "hearsay evidence" is unreli-
able. 1t is hearsay for witness tc
testify that he heard someone else
say that something happened at q
time and place when the witness
was not present.
The witness is sworn to tell the
truth, but not so the other person
whose statement is being repeated
The witness may be cross-exam
med to make sure that he is tellins
the truth, but there is no way tc
test the ver a city of the person
quoted. Accordingly, the rules say
that generally hearsay evidence i:
not admissible.
There are certain exceptions tt
this rule. For example, admissions
against interest" are an exception
TO the hearsay rule.
An admission against interest il

in which he says something against
his own personal or financial inter,
| est.
The law recognizes that people
will not usually make such state.
ments unless they are true because
ordinarily, people are expected tt
try to advance their own interests
Another exception to the hearSay
rule is the dying declaration.
Here, again, the law presumes that
a person on his death bed, knowing
that he has but short time to live
will usually speak the truth.
The rules of evidence requirt
that photograph be identified by
some person who knows the fact!
before being received in evidence
Such Identification is made by hav
ing the witness testify that tht
photograph fairly and accuratel,
portrays the scene which it depicts
Only material and relevant evi
dence is admissible. This is becaust
the court or jury will not be help
ed in its search for truth by an,
other evidence than that which re
veals facts pertinent to the issues
So it is that obedience to thes'
rules and others like them is es
sential in this as in any other con
test. Down through the ages of tn,
common law and statutory enact
ment, these rules have been formu
lated, revised and improved.
| Today they represent the bes
thought of the centuries in the nev
er-ending search for truth that j
the highest objective of moderl
| Jurisprudence.
