II is a completely separate name, which
merely happened to spring to fame
simultaneously with the shorter and
more serviceable appelative.
It signifies light, coming from the
Latin word lux.
Lucille has come to us through the
masculine form evolved from lux. An

IT arose the name Lucila. Several Ro-

SAYS LANDLORDS
PICK JUDGES TO

Brooklyn Justice Tells Legis-

Type" Owner Acts.

"Hand-pictoed Judges" trying rent
cases for Landlords of the hog-type'
are quite prevalent in Brooklyn, &C.
cording TO Municipal Court Justice
Jacob Straihl, of Brooklyn, testifyine
to-day before the Joint Legislative
Housing Committee which is HOLDING
hearings for suggestions for better
ing housing conditions.
In explaining what he meant by
hand picked" Judges. Justice straho
said the landlord could select his
own Judge. And it was natural for
the landlord of the "hog-type" to pick
the Judge he liked best.
Justice Strahl declared that many
tenants who appear in court against
landlords are in a constant state OF
terror, fearing they are to be o1Isted
ana compelled TO drift hopelessly in
search of q home. Where there are
y0ng children and little or no funds
10 meet the conditions, the witness
SAID, the cases are pitifl DIN the ex-
treme.
Many tenants who must sit in
court and face the ordeal of fighting

out unconscious" the witness added.
Asked for "a remedy of such condi-
IONS, Justice Strahl said the present
20 per cent. increase in rent clause
was very much misunderstood and II
does not give the Landlord the right
10 arbitrarily increase rents at per
centage without having to prove in
a court triad that the raise is justi-
fable.
