works out In practice. and how Judges
lawyers. lltigants and the women
themselves like the innovation. My
own prediction is that 1t would prove II
great success and would quickly be ex-
tended to all the courts.
II am strongly of opinion and have
been for many years that not only
should women vote but that every
public Office to which they aspire
should be thrown oeen to them and
that they should be permitted to per-
form any public or private service for
which they are fitted and willing to
undertake.
II hate to think that there are still
American men-and women too-who
oppose this Wow. Abroad America IS
called the paradise of women, 1t is
undoubtedly true that they are,held in
higher respect here than in any other
country. Yet we have long way 10
go before the goal OF complete justice
to women is reached.
"It is Perhaps too much 10 expect
! that the prejudices inbred In the male
human through subjugation of the
female throughout the ages can be
cast of in a day or a year or indeed
a score OF years. But they are drop
ping away one by one and with ever
increasing rapidity in our progress
toward the higher civilization"
Views of n Woman Lawyer.
1.-THE addition OF women to the jury
lists wv--S in my opinion, be a great
| advantage in the administration OF
| justice. My work in New York city
has shown me how much women rep
! resent a large percentage of the liu-
gants who come before the courts
Particularly is this true in the civil
courts. In their cases and in other
cases which do not involve them the
addition of women TO the trial 1uries
would mean the addition OF a different
and in many instances a more expert
point of view on the facts involved.
Trial by jury originally came about
In order that the point Of view or the
neighborhood might be heard on the
subject I'm question. 1t has been re-
tanned in our judicial system largely
because It is believed to represent the
general common sense of the plain
man. The varying points OF view CT
the ordinary citizen upon the facts
of the case have always been cog
sidered essential in our judicial sys-
TEN. 1t seems. therefore, only logi-
cal that If the somewhat different
point of view of the woman citizen
should be added to that OF the men
more liberal and more balanced judg-
ment would result. Here. as IN every
thing else in life. the viewpoint OF
women Is OF value. suppiementing that

II Is these conditions that are pre-
sumably cured-according to the lay
interpretation OF the results Of single
experiments. which are exploited far
and wide. And II is because they pre-
sumably ward off or postpone the in
evitable end that the so-called cures"
based upon such interpretations are
greedily taken up by the public. THESE
uncompensated conditions vary from
high blood pressures to mental and
bodily deterioration. There are a host
Of them.
The criticism to be made OF the IN

by no means infrequent that all the
evidence In q case comes from women

"Is 1t not self-evident that a
sprihkling of women in the jury box
would be helpful in searching out the
truth from the bewildering array of
contradictions with which the testi-
mony in the average case bristIes?
Il recall one tried before me pot
long ago In which I expressed to the
jury my regret that they could not
have the views and advice OF n few
women jurors in their deliberations,
and the jury by their mods OF approval
showed plainly that they agreed with
me.
In that case a woman was plaintiff
and her only witness was a woman
friend OF hers. They had gone into a
restaurant during shopping tour for
a cup of coffee, and the allegation was
that the waitress spilled a cup Of the
steaming fluid on the plaintiff. scald-

For the defendant, a corporation,

pearance of these abnormalities.
Later u life, after both the thymus
and pineal glands should have afro
phied, the organism is under the con-
troll OF the thyroid. the pituitary ana
adrenal glands, and the sex glands
develop their potency. The combined
action OF these enables the individual
not only to suyvive and procreate, but
to stimulate and energlze him in the
struggle for existence. BY their power
the necessary chemicals are produced
and delivered at the necessary critical
times TO support him and to stimulate
his nervous system for the various
shocks to be encountered In the fray.
Here, above all. the rule Of the survival
OF the fittest finds full play.

Then came the war.
st. Sophia Is 1,40o years old. and It
is no criticism of Justinian's architects
that something should give beneath
the marvellous dome. Anthemius of
Tra1les and Isidorus Of Miletus knew
their business. To render the dome as
light as possible 1t was constructed Of
pumice stone and Rhodian brick.
CThey employed 10000 workmen, under
100 master builders; and when st. So
