tect Christmas Day, as commemora- tive of the nativity of Christ. assoclat- ed with the gentlest sentiments of hu- man nature, dedicated by our people to acts of kindness and of charity. IL has prohibited the general sale of ln- toxicating liquors upon that day, Tn order that this festival of good will and peace may not be sullied by ln- toxication and by acts Of violence, that so frequently accompany the sale oI December in this year is protected because it is a Sunday. All the con alterations which would prompt a prohibition of the sale of liquor upon the 25th day of December, when that day does not fall upon Sunday, are just as pertinent with respect to sucn a prohibition on the 26th day of De- cember when that day is made the legal Christmas Day by legislative en- actment" For these reasons the court answers the question in the neg ative.
 Chauffeur and Maid as Fellow Ser vants.-One Maxi Erjauschek was employed as maid in certain household, her duty being, among other things, to look after the lady of the house. Upon one occasion, while so employed, she went out for an automobile ride together with her 
 the chauffeur's negligence. the car ran into a tree, they were all thrown out, and the maid was injured. She sued and recovered. Defendant ap- peals, the question involved for re- view being whether the maid and the chauffeur were fellow servants. Tn the case, entitled Erjauschek vs. Kra- mer, 126 New York Supplement, page 2S9, the New York Supreme Court holds that the relationship of fellow servants existed, so that the maid as- sumed the risk from the drivers neg ligent act. The court assumes that her presence in the automobile was incident to her employment, and her employment subjected her to the risk The Judgment was reversed and a new trial ordered.

 The conspirators were apprehended and indicted for unlawfully banding together to intimidate Vest. The Court of Appeals of Kentucky in Com monWealth vs Morton, 131 South western Reporter. 506, holds that no person has the right to compel a per son by threat or intimidation to leave his home or abandon his business, or disturb him in the quiet possession of either Any good citizen can easily set in motion the machinery of the law, and through it's agency compal an offender to reform his habits, and in this orderly way protect the com munity from his evil association and zens, however well-meaning their in- tention may be, to take the law into their own hands, and administer 1t according to their own notion, has no place in our form of government, and it is we'll for the safety of life and the security of property that it has not.
 An Undertaking Establishment a Nuisance.-The question in Densmore vs. Evergreen Camp, 112 Pacific Re- porter, 255, is whether an undertak- ing esta blishment is a nuisance. It was shown that the undertaken main tained every sanitary precaution known to the profession and operat- ed his establishment in legitimate manner. Plaintiffs who pray for an injunction, complain that noYious odors and gases, arising from the de- odorants used. will permeate their homes, and that there is danger of infection from the proximity of the morgue and the possibility of flies passing from one place to the other The Supreme Court of Washington holds that the+ esta blishment is not a nuisance per SC, but that it would be manifestly unfair to grant injune- tive relief only in cases where the ob- ject was nuisance per SC, when otn- CT circumstances intervene which tend to destroy repose and comfort. The court says: 'In this case the element of comfort and repose in the enjoy ment of the home becomes an esSen- tial element of our inquiry; for 1t 's not only shown by the evidence, but it may be accepted as within the common Knowledge of man, that the immediate presence of those mute re- minders of mortality, the hearse the chapel, and taking in and carrying out of bodies. the knowledge that within a few feet of the windows of ones dwelling house where the fam fly sleep and eat and spend their leis- ure hours, autopsies are going on, that the dead are there, cannot help but have depressing effect upon the mind of the average person, weaken ing, as the testimony shows his phys ical resistance, and rendering him more susceptible to contagion and dis ease" An Injunction was allowed.
