and the court Of her sincerity.
What is the result of this new
order Of things in that courtroom
A woman stood before a certain
magistrate recently She had ff-
teen convictions against her. The
court was in process of setting down
the sixteenth. At the right of the
defendant stood Miss Rothenberg
1t was an unfortunate casc-the
woman was victim of alcoholism
and was diseased.
'Pll send YOU away for two
months" said the court, "in which
time you will receive medical care"
Miss Rothenberg says, regarding
the man in the case" that while
a man who knows he is threatened
with arrest may give false testi-
mony, at the same time the average
man would not be so easily enticed
if he knew he would be brought into
court.

@ONCERN is always felt even
about removing the village
pump that an up-to-date
drinking fountain may be installed
in the town square. And most citi-
zens of the United States, especially
civic improvement of Washington
than in any other city, unless. may
hap, it is their home town. When
ever any question is raised about the
construction of a public building or
any other civic monument that prom
ises to change the aspect Of the ma
tional capital, women's organizations
throughout the land begin to bom-
bard Congress with objections.
The experiences of so many club
women with their own local strug-
giles to have cleanup campaigns. to
beautify the city parks or to plant
flowers along the sidewalks give
them ready sympathy for movements
of the kind at the capital. AS Con-
gress controls all the details of max
ing WASHINGTON, even to the lavinp
out of golf course along the his
toric Potomac, every woman of the
country may add her word as to the
regulations or government Of the

foresee Washington beautiful and
extensive enough to take place
among the capitals of the world.

more before the plans made by
George Washington and Major
L'Enfant are fully carried out.

number of these girls playing for

twenty in an evening. They are
from twelve to fifteen years old. The

Upstairs DR.. Florence Meredith

Justice for
The Case

Miss Rothenoerg went to her
work determined that justice should
be done to her sex and that at the
same time society should be pro-
tected. She knew she was a prose
cutor and must abide by her oath
Of Office. And above everything
else, to the surprise of some persons,
she has become a friend of the
fallen-she is tempering justice
with merciful friendship.
Miss Rothenberg had from the
first certain clearcut ideas: for one
thing, she was satisfied that an at
tempt should be made by the police
to bring in the man in cases where
women were arrested for disorderly
conduct Her determination in this
respect was supported by the fact
that there was recently enacted an
amendment to Section SS7 of the
Penal Law, providing that men may
be arrested for vagrancy.
What has been the result in the
Women's Day Court in these two
months since Miss Rothenberg as
sumed her duties as prosecutor?

toward repairing this damage. The
action was entirely logical, for Presi-
dent Washington and Major Len
fant had designed the space as an
open approach to the Capitol. 1t is
so shown in the original plan Of the
city. 1t was proposed that the space
should be ornamented with memori
ais and fountains and similar decor
ations, but not shut off by walls and
fences.
in furtherance of its Dur
pose to restore the Mall to its orig
lnal status as q park connecting the
legislative and executive depart-
ments, Congress paid the Pennsvl-
vania Railroad 81 10000 to remove
its tracks from the Mall. Slowly
but steadily. changes in conformity
with the general plan for the devel-
opment Of the city are being made

building houses two courts. Down
stairs in the jefferson Market Court
the men are tried. Upstairs, in the
Women's Day Court, the women are
arraigned. In one week three men
connected with arrests Of women
were tried downstairs.
Usually, in cases of street walk
ing, the complaint is investigated
before the woman is tried. Here,

trate says, handing her the COM

And now, invariably, if the woman

to arraign the woman, the case is
thrown out. This has happened
