Lack Of Law
Cancels Army
UsuryPena|ty

An Army sergeant who
charged 1900 per cent interest
a year on loans cannot be held
for usury because military law
does not prescribe an interest
rate limit, the U. s. Court of
Military Appeals ruled today.
The court said the interest
charged by 29-year-old Sergt.
Thomas H. Day, whose family
lives in Lawrenceville, Va, may
be "unconScionable, but it is
not unlawful"
1t ordered that the sergeant,
who also was convicted of as
sault at his court-martial last
year at Fort Leonard Wood,
Mo-, be given a new sentence.
Sergt. Day had been broken
to the rank of private and was
sentenced to forfeiture of $40
q month for six months on both
charges.
He had been charged with
two counts of usury for two
one-month loans he made. The
first loan to a fellow soldier
was for $50, and the interest
was $50. The second was for
$40, at an interest of $40.
At his court-martial. the
Government alleged that the
high interest reate constituted
a breach Of good order and
reflected discredit on the armed
services.
The assault charge that still
stands against the sergeant
also stems from his money
lending. The sergeant was
accused of threatening to kill
an Army private who failed to
give him $50 on a $50 loan on
time, according to the opinion.

Little Chats On
Public Notices
By James E. Pollard
TO BE PUT ON NOTICE
(NO. / in a SerieS)

Sometimes after thing has
been done, an interested party
complains, But they didn't tell
me-" If his complaint is justi-
fled it may or may not be too
late to remedy the matter. In
effect, however, the trouble was
that he was not given due
notice.
In the truly democratic coun-
tries an. important legal prin-
ciple is involved in the funda-
mental right ito be put on no.
tice'. This is true for the indi-
vidual, as well as for business
and other interests and for the
community at large. Only the
dictator countries restrict or deny
this basic right to be put on
notice.
The purpose of being put on
notice is tWo-fold: CD To in
form the individual or others
concerned as to some contem-
plated action that concerns their
rights, and or CD to enable them
to take whatever steps they deem
necessary to protect those rights.
AS is pretty well known there
are various ways of being put on
notice. One is by personal serv-
ice or direct notice. Another is
by posting in a public place and
third is by actual publication.
This last is usually done in a
bona fide local newspaper of
paid general circulation.
With the rapid growth of
population and the complexity
of modern living, personal serv-
ice is not always feasible or is
too costly where numbers of peo-
pie are concerned. In such cir
cumstances the bona fide news
paper is an effective medium. It
is no accident that in thousands
of situations, the law provides
specifically for this method of
giving notice.

Sewing Tips For
Knits and JERSEYS

Correct needle size, thread
type and sewing machine adjust
ment are important to successful
construction of garments of knit
and jersey fabric, reports Edna
Akers, Extension clothing spec
ialist, The Ohio State University.
A fine sewing machine needle
m kes stitching easier. Silk
thread provides elasticity and
minimiZes breaks in seams where
there is strain.
Check all machine adjustments,
suggests Miss Akers. Set the
stitch regulator for ID to 16 or
more stitches per inch. The
bulkiness of the knit will help
determine the number of stitches
per inch. The heavier fabrics
will need fewer stitches per inch
than the lighter weight ones.
Losen the tensions for a light,
balanced tension.
