Runner tiedIund to Rest up.

1t is pleasing to note that Oscar F.
Hedlund has decided to quit racing for
a time. He has been running almost
continuously since last winter and
wants a much needed rest. Clarence H.
DeMar, the wonderful distance runner
of the North Dorchester A. A., who
has done what few winners Of the
American Marathon run have ever
done in winning so many contests in
such a short space of time after the
B. A. A. event, also intends TO retire
for short time. There is no Mara
thoner in this country who has such a
grand chance Of making the American
Olympic team which goes to Sweden
next year. 1t is the hope Of all New
Engianders interested in athletics that
he win follow his intention of not COM
peting until the fall at least.

WHAT WILL Be DONE
WITH WOMEN JURORS7
A Few knotty Problems Presented to
Washington Judges.

What to do with women who will
be called to serve as jurors with men
when the Spokane (Wash) county su.
perior court convenes next September
is one Of the vexing problems con.
fronting the five members of the bench,
headed by Judge Henry L. Kennan.
The various clubs in Spokane have
given out statements that their men,
bers are ready and willing to do jury
duty. The judges hope modern Sol
omon or Portia will come forward
to unravel the tangles presented by
these possible situations:
If twelve women are selected to try
q case and six disagree from the other
six.
If four women decide they are right
in a civil action and six men jurors
hold opposite views.
If mixed jury of men and women
is kept together in felony case un-
til all are agreed upon a verdict
If six women and six men are locked
in a room to determine the guilt or
innocence Of a person charged with
a capital crime.
Relating to service of Jurors in the
superior court the law adopted by the
legislature of 1911 says:
ANY woman desiring to be excused
from jury service may claim exemp-
ton by signing a written or printed
notice thereof and returning same to
the sheriff before the date of appear
ance. and if exemption is claimed by
reason Of sex no fee shall be allowed
for her appearance"
The law provides that the jury
sworn to try the issues in felony cases
shall be kept together and in custody
of the officers of the court except dur
ing the actual progress Of the trial,
thus putting it squarely up to the
judges to solve the problem If the
women who desire to serve as jurors
cannot settle it themselves.

Bigness Of Bio Ben,

Big Ben. which marks the hours for
parliament at the top of the clock tow
er at Westminster. is bigger than it ap.
pears from below. Looking at the dial
Of Big Ben from the northern footway
of Great George street or from the
Thames embankment, it appears as if
its diameter might be equal to the
space that man of medium size could
cover with outstretched arms. AS a
matter Of fact, however, the diameter
Of the dial is twenty-three feet. From
the ground the minute marks on the
dial look like ordinary minute marks
and as IL they were close together.
Really they are foot apart. The nu-
merals are two feet long. The minute
hand, with it's counter balance-the
heavy piece of metal that projects be-
yond the center of the dial-is fifteen
feet in length. This hand is so massive
that during a snowstorm the clock is
sometimes retarded by the weight Of
the flakes that alight on it.-London
