Even the most ardent "progressive” may sigh for the “good old
days” when some one reminds him that stove wood sold for $1.25 a
cord just twenty years ago.
Still, it doesn’t look so well to have the Federal Reserve Banks
making enormous profits while other enterprsies are feeling the price
decline and laying off employes.

Moat of us understand more or less clearly that there is a "law of
supply and demand." We are ready enough to admit this principle’s
existence, but insist upon attempting to defeat its operation. So
with other economic principles. We will admit their existence, often
refer to them in argument, but, nevertheless, seek ou inventions to
raider them inoperative. As we can never succeed in doing this, we
have periods of over-expansion followed by periods of depression,
“scares,” and sometimes panics. Just before the world war we seemed
likely to face the consequences of over-production. The war, taking
millions of men from the field of production and making the world
our customer, reversed our problem. There were more jobs than men,
more orders than goods. Industrial activity was speeded; prices, in-
stead of falling, soared. When the war vas over, many predictions

dome of the State Capitol, and should be used on all important occa-
sions to remind those who are inclined to forget the past in the hurly-
burly of the present, that the traditions of Texas still live and are
potent to inspire her sons to nobler actions.
The proper use of the State flag ought to be encouraged. To
that end the Daughters of the Republic have made it a part of their
purpose to perpetuate Texas tradition. They have provided the
University of Texas, one of the first thoughts of the fathers, with a
Texas flag on several occasions. When the alumni of the institution
provided for and fostered by Texas return on Thanksgiving Day, they
should, and probably will, be greeted with a glimpse of the Lone Star
flag. That is an excellent way to remind them of their duty to the
State and the debt which her citizens owe to Texas tradition.

The unemployment situation is gravest in the textile centers of
the northeast, but several middle Western cities are affected. Detroit,
Cleveland, Chicago and St. Louis have many thousands out of work.
In the two cities first named the situation is considerably more serious
than in Chicago and St. Louis; but in St. Louis the number of un-
employed is increasing. Employers and labor leaders disagree upon
the number of persons out of jobs in New York City but a conserva-
tive estimate places it at 300,000. The State Industrial Commission
recently estimated the net unemployment in New York State at 400,000
The Manufacturers’ Record throws the whole blame for falling
prices and unemployment on the Federal Reserve Board. “Every plant
that is forced to close, even temporarily," says the Record; "every
laborer now looking for a job because of a shutdown; every decrease
in wages; every dollar of the $7,000,000 to $8,000,000 wiped out of
the value of farm products, is a testimony to the unwise effort of
the Federal Reserve Board to break down price. * * * the Federal
Reserve Board, with narrow vision and financial incompetence, struck
the credit situation and ruined the country’s prosperity.”
But it seems to us the Record draws an indictment too sweeping,

Kidnaping charge* which were filed
Monday in Justice George Mendell’*
court against Corporal Arnold Jackson
of Camp Normoyle, San Antonio, after
he had eloped with Mildred Clements,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. EJ. Clem-
ents of 1302 San Jacinto stet, were
withdrawn Wednesday morning by the
girl’s mother at whose . request the
charge had originally been filed by Po-
lice Sergeant R. E. Nitschke. In addi-
tion it was announced by Mildred her-
self that she and Corporal Jackson
would be married on Christmas day in
San Antonio.
Police officials who have been hold-

morning- Mildred is now at her moth-

the problem to Mrs. Adams, and she
gives her opinion, which stands as
that of the Department of Justice.
Likewise, she handles disputed
point* of the Volstead Act, though
the Supreme Court and Congress have
made the terms of prohibition so plain
that there are few doubtful phrases.
To Mrs. Adams are also entrusted the
legal matters relating to the Federal
prisons, the war rik insurance, pen-
sions, the Adamson eight hour law,
and other laws such as the Pure Food
and Drugs Act and the Safety Appli-
ance Act.
A Place for Brains.
To render intelligent opinions on
these weighty matters demands defi-
nite legal experience and ability. Hav-
ing to deal with the income tax laby-
rinth alone would stagger the average
human being. Tet Mrs. Adams man-
ages to look cheerful and assures you
that the income tax law is in itself not
unreasonably complicated, though she
admits that the exemptions and sur-
tax provisions are a bit confusing.
She recalls how, before she came
from California to be a Government
lawyer, she herself had a little dif-
ficulty with her own tax blank. Its
mysteries had been carefully unrav-
eled, except the baffling proposition
as to which Liberty bonds were ex-
empt from taxation. She took the
inquiry to an income tax expert and
he admitted that he had been stump-
ed by the same thing, and that he
had finally paid tax on all of them to
get it off his mind. Now, Mrs. Adams
will not have to bother over the pos-
sibility of her interpretation of the
tax law being wrong, for if a dispute
arises the matter will be referred to
her anyway.
Mrs. Adams does not talk much
about herself, either her past or what
she intends to do. "She has introduced
no innovation* into her branch of the
Department of Justice, and she does
not expect to. 4* a woman in a high
government office she is a pioneer,
and, to use her own expression, she is
making haste slowly.
She is also a pioneer as a woman
lawyer who has achieved a national
reputation. As a girl she graduated
from the State Normal School in Cali-
fornia and from the University of
California, and taught school while
she worked for her degrees. When
she was admitted to practice in the

came to her often stated their pre-

Her chance came one day when she
was pleading a case against the Mate
prosecution. The district attorney had
practically assured the accused man
of a long jail sentence, but when Mrs.
Adams arose and stated her client’s
defense in a simple, direct plea, the
judge gave the prisoner only six
months. The defeated district attor-
ney sought on the council for the de-
fense and asked her directly if she
would like to be one of his assistants.

She became the first woman assist-
ant district attorney—a position re-
quiring a good deal of tact, probably
—for. the men were not used to a
woman lawyer in their midst. Where
a man would occasionally take a
chance, Mrs. Adams pored over de-
tails and acquired a reputation for

women are a little inclined to work
too much with details, so that by close
attention to fine points there is danger
