Encouragement of crime by lawyers guilty of dishonest and unethical conduct is opposed by organizations in at least 16 states, the Christian Science Monitor finds after a nation wide survey. " One of these states is Oregon. Five of the 16 are western states California, Oregon, Wash ington, Idaho and Utah. But a reason for less than satisfactory progress in Oregon is found in a comment : The Oregon Bar association has tried for-several years tea persuade the legislature to pass a law Integrating the Oregon bar. The proposed law would compel all lawyers to belong to one organization and would necessitate the licensing of all attorneys. At the last session of the legislature, the bill was passed by the house but was defeated by the senate. The lawyer in the legislature who opposes a measure that would purge' the profession of his calling. The lawyer is, in And he is, in the eyes of exalted i friend of the court.; The responsibility that rests upon lawyers, as citizens and as members of a'great profession, and that equal ly rests on other members of society, is well stated by Chief Justice Charles E. Hughes. He said: "Of what avail are schemes for promoting social welfare if the organization of society fails in its primary, duty of protect ing life and property from criminal assault j if the criminal law is flouted by corrupt political alliances; if, despite official honesty and vigilance, delays and procerurad complexities em barrass prosecutions; if, even after conviction, laxity and dilatory methqds in appellate proceedings bring the" processes 0f foe c01lrts into disrepute?" And Chief Justice Hughes ment And he is right terribly right. NEW YORK DAY BY DAY BY O.O.McIntyre LOS ANOELE8, May 18. Once to all comes the Big Moment. I Imagine It arrived for my wife's aunt at one of those , big -celebrity gatherings here lsst evening. Most of her 83 years have been spent In the serenity of the smsll town's shaded p o r o h, rearing her chil dren and her children's chil dren. But last night she entered the Ambassad or'a banquet hall, a hit of lavendar and old lace on the arm of Will H. Hays to a place of honor at the moat conspicu ous table In the. room. And at an auspicious' moment was asked by. none other than Will Rogera him self to take a bow before the sea of faces. She shook hands with and was paid graceful compliments by Adolphe Menjou, Zdward O. Robin son. Jack Warner, Dr. Qrannlnl, Lee Tracy. Louis B. Mayer, JTed Btone.

Not even Eddie Quest would deny that'a a heap o' llvln,' podner. Next to Will Rogers, the swltstest fellow on his after-dinner feet out here Is Jack Warner. He hss the trigger-minded wit that sparks liveliest- when the target for god-na-tured heckling. He deflates with quick asltlea and without ever let ting go of a disarming smile.

Fred Stone has been house guest of Will Rogers for several weeks. Baching together while Mr. Rogers haa been trouplng aa a chaperone for her daughter, Mary. Stone and Rogera are Damon and Pythias of thejr pro fession, trying awkwardly to hide sentimentalities by exchange of ranch house epithets, Their specialty at private parties is a cowboy duet, a twilight threnody that gives Sogers an opening for -a falsetto tenor that should only be done with lantern slides.

Then those loud checkered rainbow coats of the Santa Monica beach, the spectrum on a bust. Also the pint-cup steed gardenias the bloods wear In their lapels. It almost gives me courage to try out a few of my own home grown sartorial riots. The way they dresa I should be able to pass by In a high fog without sending the populace ahlnnylng.up palm treea.

BETTER TWO WEEKS "A neglected cold lasts 14 days, but If properly treated It can be broken up In a fortnight." Some times don't know. V5 that matter, I auppoM many book are filled with stuff I don't know. So la this column I hear you all right, What I mean, though, Is that there are terrible momenta when I wonder whether J my teachings ever do harm. If any body sincerely thin Hi so It would be kind or him or her to tell me so and point out precisely why. At any rate I do respect the crltlo or opponent who writes or speaks as a lady or gentleman. Moreover. I have never yet and I never shall divulge the Iden tlty of any correspondent who prefers to remain anonymous to the public, But no one can expect me to take seriously an unsigned, letter, whatever the subject or object may be. Various bloated corporations pre. tend to offer their employes, as one of the advantages of employment, health or medical service. These cor porations engage a contract doctor to look after the lower grades of em ployes. The doctor Is usually & shrewd enough fellow, that Is, In taking caie of his own commercial interest and the Interest of his employer, the cor poration. But the very nature of his Job tends to rob him of something deeper and more precious. I hardly know what name to give It but It Is the spirit which distinguishes the scientist or the. artist from the mer chant or the Industrial executive. Although a few physicians who practice under their own names and without subsidy may still employ so- called "cold serum" or "lnoculstlon." Injections of bacterln (bacterial vac cine) for the purpose of Immunizing against crl for the season, this ex periment has been carried on of late years mainly by large corporations that have their own doctor to look after employes' health. The general consensus of physicians who tested the method was that "It Is hard to see what results. If any, thla attempt to Immunize with stock bacterlns has had." But the company doctor can fill In an Idle hour by aummonlng a group of messenger girls or typists or bundle boys to the company's dls pensary, "hospital" or "clinic" . and giving them a few "shots.". So the experiment goes on. Funny how these shrewd young doc tors who grab off the soft-looking berths with wealthy corporations ar rive at their conclusions.

Pulse Races. I went to the office for physical examination and waa turned down because my pulse was so fast. The doctor said It was 136. end told me to come back In a week, and mean time to take plenty of exercise to bring it down. I have never smoked, drank or abused myself in any way. I take only three or four cups of coffee a week. When I went back the pulse was still too fast, but only 102. How can C get It down, and just what should It be? M. B. Answer Assuming you are a young man it should be somewhere between 60 and 80 beats a minute. Excite ment of the examination may explain part of the rapid heart action. Any good doctor can give you medicine to steady the heart rate so you can pass the examination. Here's Ambition. I am fast approaching the dread age of 40. Maybe this Isn't so dread ful to you, but It seems so to me. Also I am conscious I am slipping.

TTOTHING stronger than 8.6 beer li may be sold In Oregon hereafter. The sale of even that mild beverage mustn't be promoted by big signs. High-powered flasks can't bt carried on the hip Into beer parlors. -And so on. TREADING all thla, the breakfast l cynic remarks: "I'm afraid they're going to throw so many restrictions around the sale of liquor that I'll be tempted to start drinking again." - QO MUCH for the cynic. Now let's iw be serious. An automobile dealer said to this writer the other day: "Sale pros pects looked pretty good to me the first of the year. But I'm not so sure now. "I'm beginning to be afraid that the money we were going to take In on new cars la going for boose, I know quite a few people who csn't accumulate the down payment on a new car, because every week the money they confidently Intend to save for a new car goes for liquor." ONLY a few days 'earlier, a grocery man made this remark: "Business Is still a lot better than it was at this time last year, but It doesn't seem to me It's quite as good as it ought to be, everything considered. "I can't help wondering If the amount of money being spent for liquor doesn't have something to do with It. "In these days, people have only so much money to spend, and If they spend a lot of tt for liquor they won't have so much left to spend for gro ceries." PROHIBITION wasn't much of a success. ' There's no denying that. After trying. It for a decade and a half, the - people of this country turned against It, decisively. But there's also no denying the fact that for a considerable number of these prohibition years this coun try saw the greatest prosperity any country ever saw In the world's his tory, with bigger markets for the products of Industry than had ever been known before. It's Just possible that one reason for these big consuming markets lay 1 the fact that people were spend ing for SOMETHING ELSE, such as automobiles and radios and washing machines and electric refrigerators and good clothes and new houses, the money they had formerly spent for booze. SUPPOSE we put IlTthls way: In a town of a certain size, TWO stores .98c prosper, getting business enough to keep them going In fine shBpe. But another store comes In and so splits up the existing business that none of the three prospers. The liquor business is a NEW busi ness. It comes Into every town and competes with already existing busi nesses for Its share of the commu nity's spendable cash, To that extent, you see, it Is ex actly like a new store coming Into town to compete with the stores already there and established. THIS Isn't a prohibition lecture. What ha, been here said Is intended merely as a cold-blooded discussion of a subject that Is ad mittedly of considerable Importance. The views of the two business men here quoted indicate that It la a sub ject that comes rather close to all of us. THE PBOHIBITO3K question wasn't settled when prohibition came In. It wasn't settled when prohibition WENT OUT. For thousands of years people have been seeking earnestly for a solution of the liquor problem, but to date their search has been unavailing. Liquor was a troublesome problem thousands of years ago, and It Is a troublesome problem still. It will doubtless be a troublesome problem a thousand years hence. ABOUT the ncartsT approach to a solution of It yet found is TEM PERANCE. That la to say,' If ALL PEOPLE were strictly temperate In their use of liquor, never consuming more of It than Is good for them, most ol tho ancient and present evils of the liquor business would disappear including the evil of competition with other forms of business.
