Adams County Bar Adopts
Resolution Offering Serv
ices of Its Members
Gettysburg, Pa., Dec. 13.—Under a;
of the Adams County liarj
Association, registrants under the!
(selective draft may call upon anjr*
lawyer and be helped in tilling out!
of his questionaire free of charge, i
The bar association, at a special
meeting, adopted the following reso- 1
lution: "That this bar association
offer the services of all its active
members gratuitously to all regis- j
trants under the selective draft with'
power to the president of this ar.so-1
elation to designate particular mem- j
bers to serve actively as necessary at
designated times and places."
The plan of the association pro
vides that registrants may visit any
lawyer in his office and have the
service free. Should it later develop
that there is necessity for lawyers
heing present all the time at some
central location, such as the law
library in the courthouse, various,
members will be assigned to this
work. It is the idea to give the;
young men the very best service pos
sible. '

English-French Dictionary
Made Easy For Everybody
The war has developed a greatly
increased interest in the French lan
guage. Throughout the world peoples
are studying French with avidity.
Many books gotten out hurriedly tor
this demand have proven unsatis
factory because of {he difficulty read
ers experienced in deciphering the
pronunciations. This situation gave
to Professor de Papparent, a distin
guished French scholar and journal
ist the inspiration for development of
his new and simple Sound-Spelling
Method.
This method presents first the
English word; then its French
equivalent and then, spelled out in
English syllables, comes the Trench
word as it sounds to English ears.
Exhaustive tests prove this method
so easy that even a cl£d readily ac
quires French with correct pronun
ciation. All who go to France should
learn French. To do so would save
time, money and embarrassment.
The Sound-Spelling Method is
found only in the Soldiers-Sailors
Diary and English-French Diction
ary now being distributed exclusively
by this newspaper on a coupon plan
explained on another page Inter
change of ideas will broaden the sol
dier's horizon and acquirement of
the French tongue will always be a
business and social asset.
