THICAGO.-When the municipal

first time in their chambers In the
new city hall. new branch of that
department of city government came
into being-the court of domestic re-
lations. Judge Charles N. Goodnow
is to preside over the court, and his
official capacity is to be that Of mend
er of fractured hearts" while Frank
N. Hills, who is known as prose
cutor," is in reality to be chief as
sistant heart member"
The opening day was essentially
children's day, although all the often
ders brought to the bar were adults.
One onlooker described it, in ingenious
paradox. as the adult Juvenile court"
Both Judge Goodnow and Prosecut-
or Hills are married men and their
wives are taking a deep interest In
the new court, which is the second of
its kind In the United States. Both
have volunteered to aid their hus-
bands in carrying out their new du-
ties. Judge Goodnow declared that he
expected to ask his wife for great
deal Of aid.
