CURIOUS EXCUSES
FROM WOMEN JURORS

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Feb. Ell
Women show greater originality than
men in the matter of framing excuses
TO avoid doing jury duty according to
Jury Commissioner Thomas S. Mul.
tcy, who has been listening to thous-
auds of reasons offered by men and
women why they should be excused.
A number Of women have done what
mere man, who perhaps has had more
experience with courts, has not dared
to do They have sought to avoid
jury duty by the simple process Of
ignoring the summons. Included
among these are a number of women
who are officials Of various fedora.
ton and civic organizations. These
will get a second summons and If
they fail to respond, their names will
be put in a jury box and they will be
subject to call for service.
/ one woman wrote to Mulvey that
she thought she ough to be excused
as her sixteenth child is i'll and thu
/ eighteenth is less than six months
old" Another said she'd Just love
TO serve" but her husband "wouldn'
ever consent"
Another fair voter summoned re
piled on pcrIumcd stationery, through
her secretary, that she just couldn'
possibly spare the time. Commits
sioner Mulvcy says she was one o
the club women who wrote him sever
al weeks ago demanding that so pc,
cent OF the 1913 jury panel be com
posed Of women.
/ Pleas of nervousness. illness or tn,
care OF children are among the NOR,

The burro of the Altar district is
said to be worthless as a beast Of

no loss in other ways. The animals
are slaughtered at a soap plant at
Sarac, where the fat is reclaimed for
use in soap making, the hides are TAX

casscs are immersed in garlic bath
which removes any unpalatable fla
