SUPREME COURT RULES
ON JUDdfShIP QUESTION

The Supreme Court has handed
down its decision in the matter of the
law governing district judges. The
opinion was written by Judge McCar-
ren and concurred in by Judge Nor
cross. Judge Talbot filed separate
concurring opinion.
The gist of the decision is that, al
though certain words were left out of
the law when it was enrolled, it was
the manifest intention of the legisla-
ture, in view of the wording of other
sections of the law, to make it read
one Judge for each Of the districts of
the state except Washoe county, and
that Washoe county should have two
judges. The ground for this is that
the law. as printed, and in which a
line of words was left out, the section
not making sense, is not the bill as
introduced and passed by the legisla-
tu,I. No amendment for the section
unoer dispute was offered or consider
ed, and, therefore, the omission of the
words was purely clerical error.
The other sections are all straight
and, therefore. the call for the elec-
tion will be for one judge in each
district except Washoe county, and
for that county, two. This means a
special session of the legislature to
correct the error will not be neces
Sarv .

SIDE ENTRANCE TO
STREET CARS PoPULAR

A feature in the growing popularity
of the side-entrance steel girder car
is its equal availability for the oppos-
ing conditions of city and interurban
service. In city operation it is often
necessary to have the greatest possi-
bic capacity for given length, and
this feature the side-entrance car
gives in the elimination of wasteful
platforms and in the greater car
length which is made possible by the
use of rounded ends. The low step
and the desirable isolation Of the mo-
torman also commend themselves ~
valuable features. For interurban
operation the factors of greatest ca
pacity, maximum possible length and
low step are not of commanding inn
portance, although the tapering ends
may be considered as of some benefit
in reducing energy consumption. The
big problem in the case of the inter-
urban car is the location Of the smok-
ing compartment, for it is most OBJ
jectionable to women and children to
pass through this compartment even
when it is unoccupied. The side-door
car offers a happy solution, whether
single or double-end operation is in
vogue, because the smoking section
can be provided with a separate pas
sageway and partition doors.-Elec-
tric Railway Journal.

STANDARDIZATION IS

The conditions in British automo

their own coach builder, who has long
built carriages for them, supply the
body. It is also common thing t.
build many models of chassis, al
though few firms are specializing OF
one standard this year.
One of the pioneer builders of auto
mobiles in Great Britain naturally
adopted the first method, and, al
though the percentage of complete
ears is probably increasing, the mum
ber of bare chassis which are supple,
are still large. Furthermore, numef
GUS small changes often go with thi

difficult.
This naturally prevents undue ex

has broughht out a number of in

to special work, which are interesting
IN many ways. Some of these SHOULD
