JURY MUST

Judge Plodgett today handed down the

Haley and Arthur Haley against the town

ston Alice Haley was injured on a bridge
that was partly In each OF the towns and

Early i'm the case the question was
raised as 10 whether the town alone WAS
responsible within whose bounds was the
part of the bridge on which the accident
occurred. The justice who heard the mat
ter in the superior court held both towns
liable.
After saying that IL was error to over
rule the demurrer and while under the
provision OF section 24O OF the court and
practive act both towns might be sued
Judge Blodgett says proof must never
theless be made TO the location of the
defect complained OF I'm order to a recov-
cry. In the case at bar this was not done,
but a verdict was rendered against the
defendants jointly. The overriding OF the
demurrer to the declaration. while tech
nically erroneous I'm holding that a joint
liability existed. nevertheless did 80 sub
stantial injustice in so far as II permit
ted the action to be retained against both
towns. But inasmuch as under that rul-
ing no evidence was offered to show in
which town the defect was located, we
are of the opinion that the cause should
be remanded to the superior court for the
determination of that question only, mas
much as both defendants have already
had an opportunity TO be heard on the
amount OF damages and no exception is
urged on the ground that they are exces-

BLUE RIBBON
WINNER SAYS:
LET WIFE RULE

Chicago, June 25-Do you. Mr.. Man.
wish 70 become a husband par excel
lence, so that other women will envy
your wife and other married men will
envy you your distinction; Here is the
recipe as disclosed by DIR. Albert Il.
Palmer, who. as winner OF the blue
ribbon at a Husband Show" given al
the home of Mrs James Sydney Nc
Cullough, is now an acknowledged au-
ehority:
Let your wife decide-she probably
knows best Give her a chance; let
her do the talking for the family. II
will save you trouble and please her.
Are you undecided about anything?
ASK your wife, man. ask your Wife
Dr. Palmer's theory which has
brought him such distinction, is more
than mere abstraction. In him IL la
personified. Almost every act OF his
life is an embodiment OF IL. He Is its
living exemplar.
How does II feel 10 be the best in
the cfty?" he was asked.
We'll well. ! hardly know" he an
swered. in evident embarra ssment. II
am still somewhat overcome by the
surprise of IL all However, / Will go
and talk 10 my wife"
Mrs Palmer asseverated that her hus-
band was a Chesterfield for manners.
Romeo for devotion and withal OF sur
passing gallantry, thereby proving con-
clusively that II the women were 10 judge.
DIR. Palmer had beyond doubt hit upon the
true principle OF husbandly superiority.
Some or his other qualifications, as
set forth by the entry blank. are as
IolYows:
Although married twice his wife is
the only woman he ever loved.
He can button back-action shirt
waist with ease
In his habits he Is domestic.
He can sew on a button.
He pays the miliner and the modiste.
He never swears in English.
He readily can distinguish point
d'esprit from peek-a-boo insertion, and
can call chintz by its real name upon
sight.
