DeWald Max Baum and Maurcy Melvin Ball, the two Hstick-in-the-mudsu of Kent, are still the old pals they were while at Kent, and while I was down in New Orleans last month I met them. They control a large syndicate in that city, and Maurcy told me he married that true- blue blonde sweetie of his who always called for him while a student at Kent. ' Clinton Earl Callow, as President, now owns and controls the majority of the stock in the Hub. J Eldred A. Schooley is now President of the Chicago Title and Trust Company, and I am informed that Albert J. Jennings and Paul E. Johnson hold positions as Trust Officers of that corporation. Irwin I. Slan as President of the Idoubtit Clean- ing and Dyeing Corporation, the largest corporation of its kind in America, is using his legal knowledge to collect some of his bad debts, so I am informed. To Raymond P. Janosky we owe our utmost praise for bringing back light wines and beers. His eloquent speeches given throughout the country on nThe Joys of Liquorn has been the chief instrumentality in the passage of Amendment 27 to the United States Constitu- tion which has given us the right to drink and make light wines and beers. As a token of their gratitude and reward, the people of Cicero have elected him Chief of Police. Harry Levy is associated with his brothers David and Albert. They are the three Levys who recently de- fended Louis Casimir Kopacz, the manager of the Kopacz Beauty Reducing Corporation, who was sued for breach of Warranty. He guaranteed to Joseph J. Grish, the plaintiff fand one of Chicago's Assistant Prosecuting Attorneys, as you of course knowj, that he, Kopacz, could make Grish lose twenty pounds in twenty days. Grish was represented by Fred Rohde and Victor Kozelka, the inseparable twin law partners of your city. Theodore G. Remer, by the will of D. Auerbach, received a life estate in D. Auerbach 8 Co., candy manufacturers, and he has recently perfected a sugarless candy called the Jaffe Bar, named for Louis Jaffe who successfully defended Remer in a suit brought for viola- tion of the Pure Food Laws in the manufacture of this candy. .48

in a large law partnership in Texas under the name of Hofgren, Gerlach and Hoban. During the summer months Hofgren, Gerlach and Hoban generally go to some HNo Man's Landu for the purpose of gratifying their hobby of hunting. V You remember Samuel L. Bullas? He, I understand, is Chief Counsel for the Yellow Cab with Casimir S. Cherpeck, John Church and Alfred E. Roth as his assistants. - Francis H. Madden and Clarence E. Zadek are both married and have been for many years. They are in part- nership in the practice of law in Cicero. I understand Lewis C. Miller is Mayor of Aurora and that Frank Leslie Paul is Corporation Counsel of Aurora. ' Lawrence J. West is now in charge of the Inter- state Radio Board, with Joseph F. Sheen as his very able assistant. Jack Lascelles, our famous politician, is governor of New York and Robert E. Lenington as Mayor of New York City is causing a sensation. You recall Guilford R. Windes, the expounder of the law at Kent during his college days. He married the Latin teacher to whom he was engaged and at present is Ambassador to Argentina, South America. While in Washington last month, Windes informed me that Carlton B. Waller, Kent's fashion plate, married a wealthy Buenos Aires girl Cthis being his third bridej and that he now lives and practices law in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. A I was surprised to see Charles C. Towle, Chief Counsel for the Chicago Rapid Transit Company, who in- formed me that Nicholas Scholz, Hugh M. Simborg and Paul J. Coleman were associated with him. Harry Stark, Benjamin Mark and Emanuel Morris are practicing law together in Langert, Indiana, the town named after Eli David Langert, who founded it and who is now its Mayor. X Besides having a big law practice in Baltimore, Harold T. Huber is the owner of the D-Bay-T Radio Sta- tion in the aforesaid city. 47

Mr. Hanson is Governor of Indiana. Kulp, on the other hand, is Comptroller of Currency.

Covelli by his practice at Kent of arguing with the instructors has acquired a pronounced knowledge of the art of oratory, and today, as you know, is considered in American History as a greater orator 49 '
