BAR ASSOCIATION OFITION FAVORS 1 UIIIFOII LAWS Leading Jurists Assemble for Annual Convention With Array of Facts. CRIME WAVE DISCUSSION Puzzle of Aeronautics Control Is Prominent on the Program. Bp United Press SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 9 —Aviation, income tax and, above all, uniform laws In the entire United States, are some of the topics to come up for consideration at the annual convention of the American Bar Association. which opens here today. Several hundred delegates from all over the country are here ahd will begin attacking the big problem of more nearly harmonizing State procedure in such cases as related to divorce, extradition, corporation control and law enforcement. Combating crime, waves is also scheduled for much discussion, based upon a report prepared by the law enforcement committee. ► Aeronautic Law Puzzle One of the new features will be j consideration of aeronautics, which; laws thus far have been Inadequate to handle. The lawyer who has puzzled over such questions as whether , a hydroplane is subject to Federal I legislation with reference to the era j ployers’ liability when It is moored upon navigable waters is expected to come away from the convention wiijb more concrete ideas on the subject. Many of America's most prominent jurists are here today to participate in the meet.ng. The speakers scheduled Include Supreme Court Justice Taft, Elihu Root, Vice President Cooln* y' and Governor Henry J. Allen of Kansas. The bar of Great Britain will t e represented by Lord Shaw of Dunfermline, while the French lawyers; have sent as their delegate M. Henry Aubepin of Paris, Cordenio A- Sever- j ance of Minnesota, president of the j bar association, will conduct the ses- j slons. Lxample of Minnesota Committee reports offer numerous suggestions for field of endeavor. A bill such as that in Minnesota to facilitate action in cases where pleas of guilty are entered, preventing ex- j tensive confinement before the hear-1 ing, is one of the reforms recoin- i mended- .Another is that a resolution ' be adopted approving the form of a treaty to be negotiated with foreign | countries for making effective interna- j tion&l arbitration in commercial dis- j putes. For the tenth time it is proposed j that the bar asaocs.ation Indorse a bill making for modernization and unifor- | mity of procedure in the Federal courts. The purpose and effect of this is to give the United States Supreme Court authority to make rales ; governing the entire procedure in cases at law to the same extent that it j now bus power to regulate the pro- j cedure in equity, admiralty and bankruptcy courts. Profess.onal ethics are tackled in 1 the proposal of a resolution stating that the personal relationship between attorney and client should be pre •erved; that the services of a lawyer j should not be treated as merchandise ' to be trafficked in: that there should , not be division of fees by a lawyer ! with a layman, and similar provisions.

By United Frees WASHINGTON, Ang. 9.—What is probably the largest American flag in continuous use hangs in the court of the Postoffice Department building, on Pennsylvania Ave., in Washington. The flag, suspended from the level 1 of the eighth floor, reaches down to j the third. It would make a good, hefty load to carry around, since it. weighs ninety pounds. Accurate measurements of the banner show it ] to have a fly of 70 feet 4 inches, hoist 37 feet, field 20x28 feet. The stars are 30 Inches between the tips and the stripes are a yard wide. It Is literally as big as a house, | since a comfortable six-room bungalow could be built on the space it would cover. ANCIENT BONES FOUND Prehfetoric Remains Unearthed by New Mexico Rancher. ROT, N.

"Hanged if I know!” Bobby was already climbing out. He lifted the hood of the car. The crowd was silent at first as they waited for Bob to report It wasn’t anything serious and resume driving. But when, after a long search In th ©engine, he was sti 11 at a loss to find the trouble, ' ->us queries began. Bobby stripped off his coa and all but disappeared underneath the car. Presently he emerged, brushing himself off In & baffled way. Ted Harker got out and tried to help. Ted was studying mechanical engineering. The others gathered about the two young men—Olive close at Bobby’s shoulder. Peggy aldne seemed not to care, as she stood apart and looked on with a faintly amused smile. So absorbed was she that she failed to notice the sidelong study of herself by Duncan Lee. His scrutiny, subtle as it was, should have put the girl on her guard. He had been Interested In her from the moment he had realized she was using him as a means of piquing Bobby.
He was wondering now how far she was capable of going to achieve her ends, how available she was for adventure. And his appraisal was duly heightened by her behavior since they had left the inn. Her furtive study of the floor of the car. her frequent glances at her feet, had aroused his suspicions that she was up to something. Just what they were he did not guess—until the car broke down. Meanwhile Ted Harker’s shrewd fe.Teting of the breakdown led h.m near the solution. He raised.the floor section where Peggy had been sitting, stuck an electric torch Into the dark ep&ce beneath and inserted & careful hand.

“It’s Jammed,” he remarked, "but, there!” And he dragged out a small object. "Why, it’s somebody’s nife that slipped down the clutch-slot and gummed the works,” “It's my pen-knife!” Peggy’s casual manner was an Indifferent disguise.

the strategic center, easiest point from which to shoot their publicity. The biggest “hand-out” manufacturer here, however, is the Government itself. Most Government bureaus have their publicity men who grind out a daily grist of free copy for the press. Some of this is informative and worth-while. Much of it is not.
i The big national parties, reform organizations, trade associations, lobbyists, manufacturers, and other outfits with axes to grind, keep Washington continually swamped with “hand-outs." Washington’s main Industries are “publicity" and “Government” and it is a toss-up which is the more potent.
