Cleveland, Ohio.-Mellifluous
sentences, resounding words and
quotations from the poets have re-
turned to the vocabulary of lawyers
with the advent of women jurors,
declared Judge Dan B. Gull of the
Cleveland common pleas court.
I've noticed marked change in

yers practising in my court since
we have had mixed juries," he said.
Witness batting will soon become
a lost art if the new attitude OF
courtesy assumed by attorneys does
not wear off.
Skilled practitioners believe that
woman's sympathy will go out to
the person who seems to be getting
the worst of it, and attorneys now
attempt to lead the doubtful wit
ness with soft words to himself ad
NIT that his testimony is open to
question.
Story of Naomi and Ruth.
More than that, attorneys now
draw their quotations from the Bible
and the classics, with liberal
sprinkling from the poets, rather
than from the vernacular of the
street and the ball park.
"The other day a lawyer defend
ing young man charged with auto
mobile stealing told the story OF
Naomi and Ruth and how. Ruth fell
from grace He compared his client
to Ruth and the jury, which had
seven women members, returned a
verdict of acquittai.
Women jurors are more attcn-
tive than men," the judge continued.
aThey are always on time, contrary

And the other man reached for
ward and seized the suitcase, then
snatched Milwaukee Mays golden
purse from her lap and tore Midge's
watch from his pocket and his dia-
mond stud from his cravat, and in
an instant the two had leaped from
the board and escaped into the
shrubbery. Neither Midge nor May
was armed. 1t was hopeless. A po-
lice alarm would have been fatal if
not futile, for if the men were cap

Midge and May drew groaning
reception when they burst in with
the tidings. Their story was not
questioned. But hundred recrirni-
nations poured in on Midge, the
more SO since it was known that he
had driven far out OF his path and
through the lonely park only to take
May home. But it was spilled milk,
curdling and running the apple sauce
And May called taxi and went
home alone.
The two highwaymen, Rod Hull
and Moose Jaw" Jarnigan, ran to
the road beyond the intervening
meadow in the park, where they had
their own car, and drove rapidly
home. There they opened the suit
case, and to their joy and amaze
ment saw the miscellany of jewels
and other convertible knick- -knacks
1t was haul indeed. They could
not explain it. But they could ap-
preciate it. And they went to bed
rejoicing, having secreted the suit
case and its fortune in a china closet.
An hour after they had started
snoring in high a window of their
apartment was cautiously opened and
three men stealthily entered through
it. Conhdentially, they were Lucky"

"Flinty" Farr. On rubber creepers
they negotiated every corner Of the

cumbersome to be carried without a

Revolution, Led on
By Hunger, Looms
In Constantinople
Cases Of Starvation Increase
As Misery Of Populace Is
Augmented by Greed
OF Profiteers.

tChicaso Tribune Foreign News service)
Constantinople, Turkey.-A rev.
olution in Constantinople, induced
BY hunger and encouraged by the
Kemalists and bolsheviks, simultan
eously with military offensives from
Anatolia and West Russia. is be-
lieyed possible by close observers
here.
Individual cases OF starvation, al
ways common in Constantinople. are
increasing to the extent where they
are creating condition dangerously
near famine with the influx OF
thousands of Russians from the
Crimea.
Constan,inoplc has always been
callous to the visible suffering of its
native manned, halt, blind, and starv-
cd humanity. 1t has been coldly
indifferent to the misery of its peo-
pie from cold, hunger and disease.
Drizzly Nights.
Half naked, shivering people
crowd the streets in winter and beg.
Small children huddle together on
doorsteps on freezing or drizzly
nights attempting to keep warmth in
underfed bodies. Babies are tortur-
ed and starved by unclean beggar
women to awaken sympathy.
Its public has always been so used
to seeing people scramble in the mud
like dogs for bread thrown on the
street-this is to be taken internally
that the increasing frequency OF these
eases excited no particular attention
until it was learned the number of
people actually dying for lack of
food had increased to an alarming
degree.
Ovcrcrowded Houses.
Proflteering in Constantinople, ow-
'ng to lack OF centralized control,
has continued rampant. While prices
in other parts of the world have
dropped steadily for some time, they
have been gradually rising here. The
cost OF foodstuffs is artificially main
tanned at high level by Greek and
Armenian traders and other specu-
,lators.
Now dropping Turkish exchange
is causing another rise. At the pres
ent time loaf Of bread (two
pounds) costs q cents gold. Over
crowded housing conditions have
worked another serious hardship on
the public.
Secret kemalist and bolshevik
committees in Constantinople are be-
licved TO be making capital out of
this condition. Food riots may be
expected. looting of stores that u.s.
ually accompany such riots may be
looked for. lncendiafism is not. .in,-
probable. ~ So !. - = 'ss
Crooked Streets.
Display windows unusually full of
merchandise and de1icacies obtain
able only by the extremely rich arc
offering an exasperating yet tempt
ing reward for an outbreak.
lhe many narrow crooked streets,
the general outline of the city itself,
make the policing of Constantinoplc
extremely difficult. Rows upon rows
OF wooden houses, built into one an
other, make fire fighting practically
futile.
o command position with a ma
chine gun in even the downtown
districts is difficult because of the
curving streets, projecting buildings
and numerous alleyways.
Although, it is not known what
steps the allies are taking to prevent

Lawyers Use Poetic Words,
Dress Like Fashion Plates,
With Women Sitting on Jury
Marked Change in Address of Lawyers Noted by

consists Of six men and six women
members. 1T makes the atmosphere
OF the court more wholesome, the
attorneys on both sides are more
courteous and the case moves faster"
he said.
Other Cleveland judges agreed
with Judge Gull.
"Women seem to grasp some facts
better than men" said Judge A. J.
Pearson. Perhaps it is their intui-
ton. In cases where money matters
are involved women are more con-
siderate than a male jury and
smaller. verdicts are returned. No
doubt this is explained by the fact
that women are not accustomed o
handling money in the same volume
as men and place a higher value on
it."
Attorneys Spruce Up.
Attorneys have abandoned their
boastful and self-conhdent attitude
before juries composed partly OF
women" said Judge Samuel E. Kra-
mer
Our lawyers dress better since
women have, become part of the
legal machinery" was the contribu-
ton of Judge Maurice Bernon to
the symposium. There is marked
tendency to spruce up and appear in

no change is Judge Homer c. Pow

Motoring is constantly getting
safer. There were only half as many
deaths per car in 1919 as there were
in 1914, the percentages being .0O25
in 1914 and .00l3 in 1919. Figures
from Detroit and New York for 1920
show that in the former city there
was one less death in 1920. and in
New York the toll was 2l less than
the 1919 mark.

A surplus in the United States
treasury was the direct cause of our

the treasury suggested the building

A petition for grading Silver street was referred to the superintendent. A hearing will be held for a 20-foot building line on the south side of Pearl street from Franklin square to Maple street.

HI. s. ENROLMENT
 MAY DROP IN FALL
May Open Fall Term with 52 Less Pupils Than at Present
 Enrolled.

According to present indications the New Britain High school will open up next fall with fifty or more pupils less than were enrolled at the close of the past term. This condi- tion is due to the fact that the change of the Pre-vocational Gram mar school into Q Junior High school makes it necessary for the latter school term to come to a close in February. Therefore there will be no pupils from this school to enter High school before February, 1922
 There will be 56 pupils from out of town. 21 from Berlin and 35 from Plainviile to enter High school ,ac- cording to present plans. St. Mary'a Parochial school plans to send S4: St Joseph's Parochial school Is, and St. Matthew's Lutheran Evangelical school about IS, making an approxi- mate total of I'll now planning to enter. The graduation of 223 next Wednesday and the admission of I'll next fall would leave the high school with 52 pupils less than now en- rolled.
