Okla homa holds the position of one of four states in the union that boasts of q woman judge, in the opinion of Judge Baxter D. Taylor, chairman of the state industrial commission. Mrs. Robin is one of three members of this commission and her career in iudge- snip, as narrated by Judge TavIor dates into some of the most important industrial court decisions rendered by that body. Mrs. Robin made no early study of industrial problems. or prepared her. seif m any prominent university for tne kind of work she now presides over She will modestly tell you tha, perhaps It Is her woman's sense that nas brought about 100 per cent inn. provement in conditions in many in. dustrial eenters and due to such that the commission very often turns ove, to her problems that are termed "deIi' cate" by that body.

DECIDES PEOPLE OPPOSE DRY LAW
New York Is a Terrible City When You Get Right Down to It, Says
 Supreme Court Justice--Saloons Not Wanted--Drinks Necessary.

Albany. N. r., July 29.-Are peo- pie generally resigned to prohibition ?
 They are not. They don't want sa- looms. but they do want to drink.
 That's the answer given by Su- preme Court Justice Henry V. Borst, or Amsterdam, after several weeks in New York City, where he was sent specially by Governor Miller to han de dry law violations exclusively.
 Other observations of the iurist, who disposed of hundreds or viola tions, but found himself nearly in- undated by daily amazing increase, are:
 You could never get jurors to con- vict in prohibition cases if they knew defendants were to go to prison. Fines are sufficient penalty in prohibition cases.
 Soft drink dispensers should be taxed.
 New Workers will drink even if they have to manufacture it.
 In many cases arrests were not ius- titied.
 But here's what Justice Borst says !:
 Il shall recommend legislation pro- viding for an excise tax on places where legal beverages are sold. Many former saloon keepers are operating soft drink places. They never take a chance themselves, but their walters, former bartenders, run risks for them by carrying in their pockets a small container, with one or more drinks of whiskey, which they sell to trusted customers. We may punish the wait CT, but the proprietor will prove his innocence legally-and hire another waiter.
 Will Manufacture Their Own. These soft drink dispensers are charging excessive prices. To assess tax on them is the only way of re- covering part at least of the unjust profit for the public.
 New York City has a great prob lem before it in the State dry law. The problem is greater than in the country districts for the reason that defendants in eases in most communi- ties plead guilty by advice of counsel and thus save the cost of trial.
 Conditions are different in New York for the reason that the police place man at a point where arrests are to be made on the ground that it 1 IS a nuisance, and so attorneys natur- ally hesitate about advising their cli- ents to plead guilty. Fines are a sufficient penalty in prohibition cases, and one never could get jurors to convict if they knew de- fendants were to go to prison, SO fines facilitate convictions.
 New York is a great cosmopoli. tan city, and it's people will drink. If they can't buy their liquor they will manufacture it.
 If we go after the saloon keepers properly they soon will know that we are serious in the enforcement of the | law"
 Justice Borst believes that liouo, sales will diminish day by day anu that many arrests made for dry viola. tions have been unjustified. However he says, 70 per cent of the case. brought before him resulted in con | victions
