New York. April 2.-New York now
has a woman Judge to pass on thu
cases of girls arrested in the vict

What is the result?
Are they better off or worse of
than in a court OF men?
Mrs. Hortense Lersner, who served
Uncle Sam with distinction during
the war as yoemanette, herself the
mother of two grown daughters, has
just finished a six weeks investi-
cation of the court of Judge Jear
Norris here, the woman's court, as Il
is called. This is what she said to-
day of her observations:
Il sat in the womans court for six
long weeks, listening TO every case

court are 'railroaded'
