OVER PRODUCTION OF LAWYERS
Another crop in the United States faces the perils of
over production and the people of the country may have new
evils to combat unless some steps are taken to regulate the
republic. ■,
An attorney at law is, theoretically, an officer of the
courts in which he practices and an agent of justice. The
profession has a splendid set of ethics, to which many imin
cnt advocates adhere, but when the field is over crowded,
attorneys resort to devious devices to make money, with
consequent decline in the standing of an ancient and honor
able calling.
Statistics reveal that this nation, with three times as
many people as England and Wales, has seven times as
many lawyers. Moreover, the multitude of law schools are
turning them out at the rate of 40,000 a year. In the District
of Columbia there is one lawyer for every 140 persons while
in some states one has to serve 1,609 souls.
Figures taken from ’‘Recent Social Trends in the United
States” reveal the surplus crop of lawyers. Any practitioner
can verify the fact. Moreover, the present rate of admission
is about double that needed to keep the relative number of
lawyers at its present position, which is too high for the
country’s needs.
The suspicion is abroad in the land that criminals of al
most every conceivable type have attorney confederates,
lawyers who are in the gang just as much as the robbers,
kidnapers and extortionists. These men take advantage of
the profession they dishonor and it is refreshing to note that
the government has recently arrested two attorneys, charg
ed with sharing certain kidnapping loot. Similar action
against shysters and crooks will help bar more than the
general public and that means a lot of help for the attorneys.
ANOTHER WAR WORRY
Experiments made with airplane in various parts of
the world convince Major K. K. V. Casey, sales manager of
the DuPont Company, that aerial torpedoes, controlled by
wireless, ‘‘might be used in the next war.” .
It’s bad enough to imagine fleets of airplahes, guided by
human beings, flying over your domicile and dropping bund
les of explosives, addressed to you. It’s much worse to think
that the sender can write you a note and send a package with
out taking any risks!

WARREN WILLIAM HEADS THE
YEAR’S FINEST ALL-STAR
CAST IN “LADY FOR
A DAY.”
I ‘ . '
Headed by Warren William, a
splendid cast was assembled for
“Lady For A Day,” the Columbia
picture adapted from the Damon
Runyon story, “Madame La Gimp,”
showing at the Dream Theatre to
night. May Robson, “Grand Old
Lady of the American Stage,” plays
the role of “Apple Annie.”
The story deals with an o
woman who peddles her wares in
the metropolitan theatrical district,
and unknown to her associates, is
supporting a daughter in school in
Spain. She is giving her child the
impression that she is wealthy and
socially prominent, and has a splen
did husband.
Suddenly she learns the daughter
is on her way to America, with a
young Count who wants to marry
her, and the count’s father, of the
Spanish nobility. “Apple Annie”
appeals for aid from her friends, the
most conspicuous figures of the
White Light district. They rally to
her rescue.
“The Dude,” a gambler, borrows a
rich man’s apartment and installs
Annie in it. “Missouri,” a night
club hostess, has the apple-woman
beautified. It is necessary for her
to have a temporary husband, so
“Judge Blake,” a pool-shark, is also
pressed into service.
After a series of hilarious hap
penings, the masqurade works out
perfectly. The Spanish nobles ac
cept all of Annie’s pretensions, and
take the daughter back with them
for a magnificent wedding in their
ancestral home.
Warren William, fresh from tri
umphs in half a dozen Warner sue
cesses, plays ‘The Dude.” Glenda
Farrell, brilliant young comedienne,
plays “Missouri,” a night club host
ess. Bald rotund Guy Kibbee, who
shone in “42nd Street” and many
other pictures, is cast as “Judge
Blake,” the husband fora day, and
Ned Sparks is "Happy,” a “dumb
stooge” for “The Dude.”
Others in the cast are Jean Park
er. Walter Connolly, Barry Norton,
Hobart Bosworth and Nat Pendle
ton.
Frank Capra, Columbia’s ace dir
ector, whose last picture was the
artistic "Bitter Tea of General Yen,"
directed the picture.

In Alaska Travel

L. W. Baker, Traffic Manager of
i the Alaska Steamship Company,who
was back at his desk after a trip to
i Chicago and St. Paul where he con
ferred with passenger officials of the
transcontinental railroads, said 1933
will be a banner see-America year
and tourist travel to Alaska may
break all records.
Mr Baker addressed annual meet
ings of Great Northern Railway
Company traffic officials in St. Paul,
December 2, and Northern Pacific
traffic men in Chicago December 6,
'discussing Alaska travel. He also
conferred with Milwaukee Railroad
and Union Pacific traffic officials and
various transcontinental railway re
presentatives.
“The consensus of all the railway
passenger men with whom I talked
was that we may look for a banner
see-America movement of tourist in
1935 and Alaska travel may break
all records,” said Mr. Baker.—Seat
