Reasonable Doubt"

Ordinarily everybody knows what
reasonable doubt" means, and what
the law means when il says that the
prisoner cannot be convicted IL the
jury has reasonable doubt of his in
nocence. But when the judge gives
a dozen instructions on reasonable
doubt it is clear that nobody could
understand what It meant
Saint Augustine, when questioned
about a doctrine OF the church, said:
IF you ask me, I don't know; but
If you don't ask me, l know very
WE'LL
The result is IN any important case,
that the confused jury goes out to
find verdict, taking with them an
armful of Instructions. Half of these
instructions will tell them that if they
believe certain things, they must find
the prisoner guilty, and the other half
will tell them that IL they believe other
things, they must acquit the prisoner;
and sometimes these instructions will
be SO drawn that, upon the statement
of the same beliefs, one instruction
tells them to acquit the prisoner and
the other tells them to convict him.
So they do not know what to do and

(small bergs,) threaten the transatlan-
tic steamship lines.
Two stanch cutters are assigned by
the coast guard to ice patrol duty from
February to July. Each cutter patrols
the ice regions for continuous period
of fifteen days. The cutters make
their base at Halifax, n. s., and it is
three-day run from Halifax to the
tail OF the Grand Banks, or the south
eastern fringe of the huge shoal in
the ocean which lies off Cape Race,
where their work begins.
The ship lanes from Boston and
New York to all European ports pass
just below the tail of the Grand Banks
and, upon the eastward voyage, turn
abruptly to the northeast just q little
southeast of the tail of the Grand
Banks. 1t is for distance of ap-
proximately hundred miles on either
side OF the point of this turn that the
chief danger lies.
Arrived in the danger zone the pa
troll boat searches for the large bergs,
icefelds, and GROWERS, finds their po-
sition and rate of drift, and notifies
all approaching steamships of these
facts in detail At six o'clock every

Judith of the Cumberland is strong and well screened tale of the hills where law is regarded like the ad- vent of smallpox ard where men are wont to settle their disputes with weapons that kill. Judith of the Cumherlands as played by Helen Holmes is a pretty woman of the mountains who falls in love with man who is a stranger to her set but he is a man for that. and she sticks to him despite the distrust that always surrounds the conner into the mountains where moonshine whisiley and law violation are hand in hand.

His rival discovers this weakness and teinpts him with the result that he is expelled from college, disgraced and led into mar riage with an adventures. The de- votlon of a friend is instrumental in bringing about his reformation.
 Never has a more vital subject ap- appeared in a film production, and the vivid depletion of the combat with heredity is unique in screen drama.
