CITY LEGAL AID Would Enable the Poor to Ob tain Justice Says Member of Baj Association. ISA VITAL NECESSITY Estaldlshment of Municipal Itu.-eau Is the Duty of Every City and Should Be Devoid of AU Partisanship. (By Aasoolated Press). ST. LOUIS, Aug. 27. There Is a demand ln all the great cities of the United States for the establishment ot municipal legal aid bureaus, Er nest L. Tustln, of Philadelphia, told the American Bar Association at its annual convention here today. Mr. Tustln Is director of public works ln Philadelphia. He sai'l '.he purpose ot such a bureau or . de partment would be to enable the poor to obtain Justice and the for eigner to be relieved f'oui ;-n posi tion, to establish a place when tne weak, helpless and ignorant would have their wrongs righted. The development of a virile lepal aid association within our great municipalities is a question f vital concern to every patriotic cltlxen." declared Mr. Tustln. "The need haa become imperative and its creation and careful development should be undertaken by all ot our large cities. 'In the Dast our best suthontien have agreed that social Injustice is responsible for the creation 01 more radical enemies to our gover-nnent than any other cause. The mayor of one of our largest cities, who has had great experi ence, has stated within, a few wooks that trifling misunderstandings con cerning municipal and social in justice is responsible for 90 per cent of the extreme radicalism ln the country. Immigration in the future win come largely from Eastern Euro nean countries and the opportunity for Imposition and unlawful prac tice will be much Increased. rxwnlto the excellent arguments advanced wo believe that legal aia should be made a municipal func tion, rather than connected with the administration of our courts. The tendency ln many communities to impose extra Judicial duties upon our judges has not only resulted ln a distinct lowering olf the Judicial dignity, but also In many cases has Interfered with the ability of our Judges to render prompt, correct and impartial decisions upon legal Questions: The dutv of the municipality, on the other hand, to conduct a legal aid bureau is just as much a civic dutv an cleaning streets and pro viding water. A bureau to Investi gate and defend Impositions upon the poor and the Ignorant and to furnish a proper and rational de fense for men. women ana cntiaren without means Is just as much an obligation as to fill the office df District Attorney for tne prosecu tion of crimes, or to provide a city solicitor to enforce health mandates and building restrictions." Owing to the large number of first offenders ln crime. Mr. Tustln said, "there Is a great need Of public defender In all our large municipalities." He foresaw, how ever, that It would be many years before this office would be gener ally adopted and said that until this was done, duties or me oince should be performed by a munielp: aid tinman. Local Bar Associations should take on the burden of cultivating public sentiment so as to prevent the legal aid bureaus from becom rT.n V.pl 'tlrnl .TlflrMBnn snip and should appoint conimit tee to advise and cooperate with the legal aid bureau, he said, had been authorized ln Philadelphia, Muriel Landreth and tla Haley of Sutherlin returned to their home this morning af'er visiting for a short time in Roseburg. OF Doctor Uses Goats in Oper. ations to Restore Vim and Vigor. REPORTED A SUCCESS Soven WiMiien State They Have Hcen Ueiicfltted by the Unusual Ex periiuent 81 ln all Un dergo ltcjuvenation. PORTLAND, Aug. 27. The trans planting of goat glands to the human body has been successfully per formed ln Portland in 31 Instances, in all of which the patient has been made fully ten years younger In vi tality and general good spirits. This was announced yesterday fol lowing a series of experimental oper ations performed by Dr. M. G. Mc Corkle, the experiments covering a period of ten months. Each of the 31 operations. It wan declared yes terday, had proved successful in re juvenating the patient. The operations have not been con fined to men alone; seven women having undergone the gland trans planting and receiving benefit, it was stated. Great Future is Predicted. The operation!; have all proved so successful that Dr. McCorkle yester day predicted a great future for the gland operation method of making the old feel young ana tne young feel gay." I have so much confidence in ine results of my experiments that I con sider the gland operation, discovered a few years ago by a Chicago physl- clon, to be one of the medical achievements of the age," he de clared. "I also believe that thiB work will prove one of the big fields for medical development and activity ln the near future." Dr. McCorkle said that he planned to go east and confer with other pio neers ln experimentation with the goat gland operation. This, he satu, would a-lve him a chance to compare notes with some of the best authori ties. During the coming winter, he Raid, he Intended introducing a large number of patients who had under gone his operation, to the local medical society. Aitavsthesla Is Only Local. The operation, as It has been per formed uuring these series of ex periments, is a simple one anu is done under only local anasiuesia. There is but little pain involved tor the Datient and the immediate antr- ellects are not of a serious character. Dr. McCorkle said. The exoeriments which Dr. Mc Corkle has been performing for the lani several months have meant an outlay of about $7000 with no re turn, as all the operations were per formed free of charge. The expense included the purchase of about 3U0 goats, which were cared for under the physician s aireciious, 10 mauio the greatest cleanliuess and health of the animals. The physician an nounced yesterday that the most im portant part of the operation is to get properly prepared ana iram glands. In this particular case ine iiusi goat was the "goat" of the opera tion. The selection of the type of animal was made because goats are immune to many diseases that attack mankind, including tuberculosis. The use of monkey glands, which has been practiced by some eastern phy sicians, was said to Invite the risk of transferring disease. Glands Expected to Live Years. Dr. McCorkle said yesterday that the goat glands, judging from experi ments which he had made in the ex amination of patients who had un dergone the operation, would last for years, presumably the natural life of a goat, which is 18 years. Af ter the gland has ceased to be of value It could be replaced by another, he said. . "These glands may be absorbed in a year's time," he said, "but some Implantations of five or Bix months' time after operation show atrophy to such a s:nall extent that one would In Justified In stating that they would last for years. However, the benefits are so marked and the Incon venience nf the operation so slight that, even if they last only a few months, everey person operated on will be a repeater." in nklnr of the benefits Dr. Mc Corkle declared that the patients rkable Improvement ln both their mental and physical con Huin Patients formerly morose and worrld regain their spirits and ,.o tifo with a new outlook, he said. In addition, patients with extremely high blood presrure have had almost ,.f ,,i.i rrt"eimj,'" pnIMr an dthelr various orsaulo lutftfWu more normally. All Women Patents 43 to 4. Of the seven operations performed upon women all the patients aver aged from 15 to 18 years and a number were suffering from nervous ness and other women's Illnesses. In each case, Dr. McCorkle said, there was a noticeable benefit frum ihe operation. The men who were operated on all ranged In age from 61 to 71 years. Dr. McCorkle aald that It was a con servative estimate to say that the operation in each Instance made the patient ten years younger. He said that In many Instances the change in the patient was apparently much in excess of that. The method first came Into the limelight when Frank Lytson, Chi cago physician, performed an opera tion upon himself in 1911. This was greatly discredited at the time and it has been only tn recent years that any considerable experiment was taken up along that line. During the last two or three years a number of eastern physicians have been experi menting with the use of both goat and monkey glands and have re ported good results. Only recently experiments along the same line, were conducted at San Quentin prison in California by the transferring of the glands of a young man, who had been executed, to the body ot an older man. Contractors to Bid On Cut-off Job Ed Ren fro, of Tiller, who speut the day ln Kosesburg attending to business matters, status that there have been a great many contractors ln the Tiller section looking over the proposed cut-off road. The bids on this Improvement are to bo opened at Portland the 30th of the mouth, and it is quite evident that there will be considerable competition among contractors for this Improvement. All arrangements have been made and the grading of the road will be rushed as rapidly as possible. There has also been considerable activity ln the Tiller district in a business way and several new settlers are report ed to be coming Into the community. Summer Influenza Gaining Headway Summer Influenza Is gaining con siderable headway in Roseburg .and fifteen cases have been reported to City Health Officer Shoemaker, while It Is known that several other cases are ln the city. The summer itiflu enza, although not as serious as the winter variety. Is badr enough and some of its victims are very ill. In nearly all of the cases It Is. compli cated with tonsllltia and doctors re port painful gatherings in the throats of many of those who have been at tacked with the disease. In other cities the epidemic has reached very widespread stage and an elfort is being made ln this city to prevent such a condition. Although no strict quarantine is being kept, yet precau tionary measures against the Bprcad are being taken. Bar Association Suggests Remedy By Aanorlnted PreM. ST. LOUIS, Aug. 27. The estab lishment of free legal aid bureaus throughout the United States, for the purpose of giving free legal adivce to people unable to pay to such ser vice, was recommended as a means of checking the spread of radicalism by speakers at the convention 01 tne American Bar association in session here today. 0 OLAKK TAKK8 CONTRACT. Charles Clark, the local photo grapher, has taken a contract from the Douglas Abstract -Company to photograph the county records. The abstract company by means of a rectagraph machine secures a copy of all papers recorded by actual photograph. This machine makes a photograph from the record to a sensitized paper without a plate or film. Heretofore it has been neces-s-.ry to make typewritten copies, but by means of the rectagraph the rec ords can be copied at the rate of twenty pages per minute or about three seconds to the page. The photographs are then Indexed and bound In book form, and abstracts prepared from the photographed copies. This eliminates the chance for error. It Is usually necessary for parties owning one of these machines to have a specialist from the outside to operate It, but Mr. Clark has had so much experience In the photographic line that the contract was awarded lilm rather than to outside parties. 0 10-YEAR-OLD BRIDE FREE.

White middles with blue collars and cuffs, and blue, black of white skirts are required by the uniform regulations and a large qutfntlty of these garments have been secured by local dealers and placed on display ready for the opening of the school season. Because of tho tendency of some of the girls to wear expensive clothing, resulting in the embarrassment of others who wer unable to afford such garments, It was voted at a meeting of all Ihe girls of the school to adopt a uni form system of dress.

UNIFORMITY IS URGED National Aspiration Should De Sat isfied By Nothing Short of the Leadership And Not by the Financial Power. By AiMflatd Prm ST. LOUIS. .Aug. 27. The drift ot luw is towards "uncertainty, con fusion and variation", according to the report of the committee on re classification and restatement of the law, submitted at today's session of the convention here of the American Bar Association. The committee suggests that simpler recodification ot the law be effected, and that the laws in the various states be mora uniform. "Our national aspiration", the re port asserts, "should be satiatled by nothing short of leadership, not by the power of our financial and in dustrial resources of our military strength, but by reason ot the excel lence of our Institutions, our laws, and tho efficient administration of justice. A certain and uniform sy stem df law for a country so large In area and so divided as to gov ernment, can be attained only thru making plain by visible expression with the greatest attainable certain ty, simplicity, completeness and or der the great system of law which has been developed, but which has. been Inadequately expressed ln this country." The report emphasizes that a clear understanding ot the laws of the soveral states is particularly essential now, because of increasing Interstate commerce. 'Tho possibility for Improvement of our laws cannot be overestimat ed", continues the report. "The causes for the confusion and un certainty of the law and the re sponsibility for them are matters which are relevant to the means which may be takon to Improve the law. "Of these causes It may be re marked that In a complex and pro gressive system of law there Is a natural tendency (tn the absence ot counter Influences) to confusion and uncertainty and, ln a country com Dosed of so many states with a largo number of Independent courts and with no court of ultimate de cision as to a large part of tho sub jects ot litigation, this tendency Is increased. "One of the counter Influences Is the existence ln all the states of Identical Institutions nd the same system of fundamental principles "filled the common law, but under the conditions which exist, the prin ciples of this theoretically Identical law have themselves become less certatln and definite and more var ied and contradictory." Rains Beneficial to Apples and Prunes That tho present rains will ma terially benilflt the fruit of the county Is tho statement made by County Fruit Inspector Armstrong today. "Tho slzu of the apples growing In orchards on dry ground will be almost doubled," Mr. Arm strong says. "In orchards where there Is plenty of water obtainable at all times the rain w"l make but sllsht difference hut ln many places in spilo ot Intensive cultivation, tho ground has been too dry to produce large apples. This rain, coming it the present time, will almost double their size and will be worth a great deal to the fruit grower. Prunes also -will be benefited. On the river bottom land the fruit has practically stopped growing, but on 'ho hill sections a great deal will lie added to the size of the fruit. There can be practically no damage unless the rains continue tfor at least a week nnd even then the dnmnge will not be bad except In one or two localities." OAKLAND LADY DIES.
