.. Today the railroads’ plant is infinitely
better than it was during the last war. For
almost twenty years, the lines have been
preparing and planning for precisely the
sort of emergency that exists now. Their
success is proved by the record. They have
handled a steadily growing volume of de-
fense orders. They have handled record-
breaking crop movements. They have
handled their normal freight and passen-
ger business. They have transported le-
gions of soldiers and sailors, along with
thousands of carloads of supplies for navy
ed promptly at destination."
The so-called “railroad failure” in the
yards and army cantonments. They have
brought gigantic quantities of freight to
Eastern ports to be loaded on ships for
England. And they have done all that
without the slightest delay, car shortage
or congestion.
The railroads, in other words, are pre-
pared. They will continue to handle the
nation’s traffic with unexampled efficien-
cy, so long as cars are unloaded immedi-
ately on arrival and freed for service else-
where. Every hour saved.in discharging
railroad cars gives impetus to the defense
drive. The railroads will do their part, and
they ask only that shippers cooperate with
them. Railroad cars are not and cannot be

TIME TO END MX-UPS
IN LEGAL RELATIONS
ITHE SIMPLE matter of endorsing a
1 check is but one of the ways in
which legal customs of the Americas dif-
fer, writes John H. Wigmore, dean emeri-
tus of the Law School at Northwestern
University, in the current Rotarian maga-
zine. In South America your signature
alone means nothing. You must add the
date.
This is typical of the legal differences
that make business between the nations of
the Americas more difficult — yet there
has been until recently no international
* organization of lawyers to clarify mat-
ters. “Hairdressers and morticians, bank-
ers and doctors and beekeepers, have their
international associations,” writes Dean
Wigmore, “but lawyers have none.”
Because of the increased interest and
growing trade within the hemisphere, a
change <has come, however, for an Inter-
American Bar Association has recently
been organized to help with untangling
the misunderstandings of various laws. A
survey by the Judge-Advocate General of
the legal profession in the United States
revealed, according to Jacob M. Lashly,
president of the American Bar Associa-
tion, that only 42 out of 170,000 lawyers
were familiar enough with Spanish and
Spanish law to practice it in that lan-
giage.
Inheritance laws make settling of es-
tates that involve several countries in the
Americas a veritable nightmare for all
concerned. Children born of United States
citizens in certain South American coun-
tries are citizens of those countries—yet
may be citizens of the United States, too.
Reciprocal laws could avoid many of these
legal complications.
The Inter - American Bar Association,
started in 1940, held its first session in
Havana, Cuba, a few weeks ago. Dean
Wigmore was among the officers elected
there. Committees were appointed which
will make recommendations at the 1942
session, which will be held at Buenos
Aires, Argentina.

KEEP BOTTLE OPEN

reviewers and others had written

was determined to have nothing
written about him after death if
he could help it.
Cooper never wrote a line for
publication until he was 30 years
old.
One day while reading aloud to
his wife he made what appeared
to be a reckless boast that he
could write a better book than
that himself.
His wife challenged him to do
it, and she harped on the subject
until Cooper wrote and published
a book entitled “Precaution.”

Undaunted by the failure of his
first effort. Cooper followed up
with "The Spy,” which was tre-
mendously successful in both-
America and England and was the
first outstanding American novel.
