The December issue of the
Law Review, publication of the
Law School,! was recently re
leased. It contains material of
popular interest as well as of a
technical nature. "The O'Fal
lon Case : Latest Battle in the
Public Utility Valuation War,"
by Professor G. H. Robinson of
the Cornell Law School, sets
forth the vast importance of
this recent decision of the
United States Supreme Court in
the economic life of the country,
involving oiiiions oi aoiiars m

statutes in that connection. Mr.
C. B. Sparger, a certified public
accountant and a lawyer, dis-i
cusses "Profits, Surplus and the
Payment of Dividends," in which
he shows a divergence between
the views of the accountants
and the lawyer as to what con
stitutes profits and surplus for
the payment of dividends.
The Open Court section of the
Law Review contains ; five short
articles, originally presented as
papers in the course on Admin

Vocational Bureau
Described in Talk
The work of the bureau of vo
cational information .was de
scribed in chapel Wednesday
morning by Henry Johnston,
who is engaged in this work in
the office of the dean of stu
dents. Mr. Johnston told of the
history and extensiveness of the
vocational guidance movement
and the nature of the local bur
reau.
The movement began a few
years ago when a man opened
in Boston ah office for the pur
pose of advising young men on
vocations. It received a great
deal of impetus during the war
by methods used in placing men
in the army and later through
steps taken by business organi
zations in establishing person
nel departments. Mr. Johnston
said that from this the move
ment spread into education
where it could meet especially
the needs of young people.
Mr. Johnston stated that the
local bureau of vocational infor
mation equipped itself by gath
ering information about the var
ious occupations and also about
work in certain firms and organi
zations. In this way both a gen
eral and specific knowledge of
certain fields of work is placed
at the disposal of the student.
Mr. Johnston mentioned that
the bureau has a book shelf on
vocational study in the library.
The bureau has in the past spon
sored series of chapel talks on
the subject. '
Mr.; Johnston stated that as
much as possible is being done
through the bureau of vocation
al information, although : ;the
work is pf necessity conducted
on; a small scaled Since fonly a
f ew oi "the men of the Univer
sity can be advised, the bureau
attempts to laid chiefly seniors
and graduate students. . La. ,
Dis-
sociation and the North Caro
lina Bar Association. The activ
ities of these organizations are
analyzed with a view of indicat
ing methods of improvement
within the associations and pre
senting the latest movement in
the United States for the im
provement of the Bar, the so
called "Self -Governing Bar,"
now in operation in six states,
and spreading rapidly. The com
ment entitled "The Thirteenth
Juror" deals with the mistrial
in the first trial of the Gastonia
strikers due to the insanity of
a juror.
There are fifteen notes and re
cent case comments, all but one
of which are written by stu
dents. Four of these discussions
are in the field of Banking and
Negotiable Instruments, includ
ing many important questions of
bank collections. There are two
topics each in, the fields of Evi
dence, Contracts and Equity and
one each in Corporations, Crim
inal Law, Mortgages, Public
Utilities and Trade Regulation.
The Law Review is printed
and contains 128 pages of read
ing matter. There are twenty
one student editors, assisted by
four faculty editors. Allen K.
Smith is student editor-in-chief
and John H. Anderson, Jr., and

Anti-Peddling Law Passed
ti 'Good Faith By Aldermen
(By E. C. Daniel, Jr.) (
Since a great deal of ill-will
and misunderstanding has been
created among the students,
Chapel Hill merchants, and the
municipal government by the
recent passage of an anti-peddling
ordinance by the board of
aldermen, a few words in expla
nation of the act and the
grounds of misunderstanding
might help to clarify the situa
tion. An open forum letter appear
ing in the issue of this paper
for Thursday, November 28,
and written by a student, de
clared the ordinance to be an in
strument of the merchants of
the town, passed for their bene
fit and worked out by them. The
writer of : the letter seemed to
think that the movement was
made in an effort to prevent
self-help students from selling
football novelties, programs, etc.,
giving the privilege and profit
to the merchants alone.
In yesterday's edition of the
Daily Tar Heel an apology from
this critic was printed. He re
tracted his previous statements,
declaring that he had misinter
preted the tone and motive be
hind the measure.
The first of the letters would

MAMHROPIC
ASSEMBLY PIC
TERM OFFICERS
John Lansr to Head Body for
Winter Quarter; Banquet
Follows Election.
The quarterly elections of the
Philanthropic Assembly were
held at its regular meeting Tues
day night. A banquet in the
hall followed the election.
Upon motion, the Assembly
voted to meet in the hall of the
Assembly on the night of the
Mary D. Wright Debate and to
go in a body to the debate. Sev
eral amendments to the consti
tution in regard to the election
of officers were made by vote
of the Assembly. The report of
Representative , James Harris,
treasurer, was presented and
accepted.
The following representatives
were elected officers of the As
sembly for the winter quarter:
Speaker, John Lang; Speaker
pro-tem, Thomas Baldwin; Ser-geant-at-Arms,
Bert Haywood;
Reading Clerk, Hamilton Hob
good; Assistant treasurer, F. M.
James; Ways and, Means Com
mittee, G. P. Carr, chairman,
James Wilkinson, and Edward
Yarborough.
Speaker pro-tem Allbright,
who has served in the absence of
Speaker Speight, in his retiring
address thanked the Assembly
for its support during the quar
ter and expressed optimism for
the work of the Assembly dur
ing the remainder of the year.
Speaker Lang, in a short ad
dress, asked the cooperation of
the representatives in an effort
to continue the good work of
the Assembly and promised his
best efforts to that end. He an
nounced that his inaugural ad
dress would be made at the
opening session of the winter
quarter.
At the conclusion of the busi
ness, a banquet was held m the
rear of the hall. Representative
Harris was in charge of the af
fair. Sandwiches and drinks
were served to the members of
the .Assembly.
merchants were assuming a
greedy attitude, attempting to
take every possible opportunity
away from the self-help stu
dents. As a matter of fact the
merchants were not actually
connected with the passing of
the bill; they were merely an ac
cessory to the program planned
by the University and the board
of aldermen to rid the town of
an undesirable element that
every football contest brings to
the Hill. On those occasions - a
horde of novelty vendors and
peddlers descend on " the town
with the avowed purpose of tak
ing away as much money as pos
sible from the town, including
the profits of merchants and
student salesmen. Most of them
employ objectionable methods in
their dealings and use no dis
crimination as to personal and
property rights. Possessing
these characteristics, they con
stitute an unwanted class in the
University community.
- Consequently, the aldermanic
council determined to "rid the
streets of these "pests," but in
order to do so they had to pass
a law prohibiting peddling on
the streets of the town and re
quiring, of course, the support
of the - Chapd .Hill merchants,
