THE WOMAN LAWYER.

And now comes word of women
defending and prosecuting persons &C
cused OF murder. At first glance
there would appear nothing unusual
in the situation now that women have
entered almost every sphere OF ac-
we'll with men.
But there is a phase of the case of
the woman lawyer that separates it
from other fields.
Woman Is. always has been and al
ways will be the superior of men in
ability to act" Far be II from one
to suggest that a woman would re-
sort TO acting" to clear a man or
another woman of crime. but the
trouble is that woman's acting is so
natural to her that she does IL I'M
consciously.
Not all OF woman's acting is with
wrong purpose. As she is able to
cover her feelings or to display emo
tons she does not feel so she is said
to be able to bear pain better than
man. Here she acts" i'm order that
those whom she loves may not suf-
fer with her.
All men seek to impress juries
with their earnestness in the defense
or prosecution of criminal. The
passions or the heart are appealed to
with more or less success-less sue
cess than in the old days.
In this respect woman will prove
sible for woman to seek the aid
of the logical reasoning of man in
the preparation OF her defense OF an
accused man and then present il to
jury which would be swayed more,
perhaps. by her apparent sincerity
than by the logic of her address. Her
ability to appeal to the heart: the
of such appeal COM
ing from a woman. and her ability
to convince first herself then her
hearers. of justice of her arguments.
will make woman a more powerful
pleader In court than man. 1t is
possible. however. that in time the
inclusion of women juries general
Iy will detract something of woman's
strength as pleader OF the cause
OF the accused.

In view Of thc interest manifest
in the two platoon system for the fire
department the presentation of views
from other places where it has been
inaugurated is timely. Several hun
dred cities throughout the nation have
adopted the system and judging by
comment from leaders in a few OF
them it has met with all anticipations.
An example of this is found in the
expressions of Chief n. r. Johnson
Of the Bridgeport fire departme nt

time off duty.
But the one big thing in favor of
the two platoon system. from the
standpoint of the citizen who is not
a fireman, is this: 1t does improve the
efficiency of each fireman who has
the right stuff in him, 1t keeps up
the morale of the department, it
brings a sufficient number of men
promptly to a fire, and that reduces
fire losses. which is what the citizen
pays his firemen TO do
Two New Jersey cities which havo
had experience under the old and new
systems are Trenton and Newark.
Deputy Chief Matthew McDermott of
Newark discusses the two platoon
system from the angle of public inter
est and fireman interest He says
Only those who have been "cooped
up in a fire house for twenty-four
hours a. days, can realize, what two
platoons mean to a fireman The
majority of the people today (under
normal conditions) are working from
eight to nine hours and are glad TO
see the end of their working day.
Then think of the fireman with no
starting or stopping hour. The same
grind day after day until their day
off, rolls around.
THE two platoon system is the
only thing. Under the old system
men became so tired hanging around
or sitting on chairs that they could
not be depended upon to do anything
when they were called. That condi-
ton does not and cannot exist in
Newark today"
Chief James w. Bennett of Trenton
says: The fire service. instead of be-
ing a thing apart locked in dark en-
CINE houses, living under unea rthly
conditions upon hours that are re-
voting TO think of, is being scienti-
fcally systematZed and brought for
