SlVIUL.LIN'S Ar-3sTRACT 1-OUNDRY THERE WILL BE NO OBJECTIONS TO OUR WORK OUR SPECIAL SWAMP POLICY WILL PROTECT YOUR FLOATING LOTS 96 WEST. FRANKLIN STREET E THOMAS E. SMULLIN.

Madden, Esquire, President of the Class of '25, Chicago-Kent College of Law, lO North Franklin Street, Chicago, Illinois. Dear Sir:- At your request, we have examined the abstract of title submitted to us, covering:, Lots Three CBJ, Five Q51 and the north eight inches Q8 J of Lot Four Q45 in the A'ssessor's Division of Lot Eight CBI in Block Fifty-three 4551, in the Original Town of Chicago, in Cook County, Illinois, otherwise known as Number lO North Franklin Street, Chicago, Illinois, from September lOth, 1922 to June lst, 1925, and relying wholly upon the same, we are of the opinion that title to said premises was vested on said last mentioned date in THE CLASS OF 1925 subject to a heterogeneous conglomeration of clouds more, fully enumerated as follows: l.

t F , a noisy Appellate lOl.

M I D ELEVENTH MAXIMUM. Equity acts in personamf' Meaning to say, it tells the various parties where to get off at rather than go after their property. That's exactly how it should be. in divorce and criminal matters. It doesnft doiany good to take away a bandit's gun or make a levy on a husbandis property for ali- monial reasons. Equity,'on the contrary, would make the yegg attempt to hold up Jack Dempsey, after allowing jack a pair of four-ounce gloves and arming the bad guy with a half pound of marshmallows. Results thus obtained have a lastinger effect than merely proceeding against his property. As to divorce in this regard, equity will decree that the parties stay away from' each other altogether rather than have the furniture divided between the combatants. - Now then, these are the important Rules or Maximums in Equity, and although they never were applied to divorce and criminal law before, don't you see how appropriate they are? Wh,y, most anyone could see that. So there they are, take them or leave them and use'them and work with them and the benefits that come from labor will be made clear to you, for as Paul Revere said when he started out on his ride for the mail, Them that has gets, and them as feedsthe horses is them as rides. I Prof: What marked woman's debut in politics ? Osk: I don't know, but it was some time before the reign of Herodf' Prof: Wl1at makes you think that?
