Open Court to Mend Broken Hearts

"Of course, the court must form his
own opinions. but the viewpoint OF an
unbiased woman on subjects which a
woman alone can understand thor
oughly ought to be Of valuable as
sistance," he said.
Mr.. Kills explained that his duties
would not be those which usually fall
on the shoulders of a city prosecutor.
"The object OF the court is, as
understand II, to restore harmony In
homes threatened with disruption, and
the fewer cases that are prosecuted
the more successful is the work OF
the prosecutor"
Here are some OF tho problems
which are expected TO confront tho
new court:
Nagglng wives.
Brutal husbands.
Mothers-in-law.
The servant question.
Women's clubs,
Corner saloons.
Suhragists.

belief in the future OF the new court
and It was FOR the children that Miss
Jane Adams spoke in the formal ex
ercises that preceded the calling of'the
first case.

It was the celebration Of WIllies
fifth birthday, and he and his little
guests sat round the festive board
eager to begin the feast when the
hosts sister, a comely spinster,
marched in bearing aloft frosted
cake, out Of which hared up five col
ored candles. Murmurs Of admiration
and awe followed from all sides Of the
table, and as sister placed the cake
squarely on the cloth and drew back
Willie turned his blinking eyes from
the five brilliant candles and said en-

your birthday the whole room'd be
ablaze, wouldn't it7"

The fact that many Americans are
hctive-minded and interested in many
things perhaps explains why they are
especially intolerant Of bores. It may
be said, indeed, that this intolerance
characterizes that oft.mentioned. but
never clearly described person known
as the average American. He is not
necessarily unciyil TO bores; he may
be polite and courteous to them while
In their society, and the affecting crea-
lures may never guess that they are
bores, but he is not patient with them.
He escapes from their presence at the
first opportunity; he evades and
avoids them; he Is busy when he sees
them coming. and he has urgent en-
gagements when they seek to detain
him Possibly the intolerant, impa-
tient one is needlessly scornful Of his
tresome friends, for they are not will
full, Intentional bores.

the season advances and the weather

A certain English feminine novelist
is getting a great deal of advertising
out of what she says about Americans
and what she says Americans say
about her. She says she will not
criticise in future, but she may if she

his little wife beat him, it will not
hurt me and it may amuse her. In
fact, It is doubtful if any appreciable
proportion Of this big nation will know

The FIRST important work in building
is the excavations for the foundation
walls. All complete plans specify that
trenches should be left with nat
ural bottoms, level and smooth for the
reception of walls, piers. etc.
Not long ago a workman in digging
a trench for a center wall In large
city block misread the directions and
got the excavation a foot deeper than
the specifications called for. The con.
tractor called the owners attention
to It, as an honest man should, and
offered to build the wall from the bot
tom up II the owner would pay the
bare cost Of the extra material, but
this the owner refused TO do. The
contractor thereupon dumped in loose
earth, the only thing he could do. and
brought the bottom up to the depth
required by the specifications. The
building was completed and accepted
by the owner. After a lapse Of six
months the center wall settled to
crack the plaster on every wall in the
house clear to the third story.
1t was a block of flats Occupied by
six families. Three Of the families
moved out because they thought the
building was unsafe to live in. This
led to a lawsuit between the owner
and the contractor. The contractor
was able to prove that he went to the
owner and offered to MI in from the
