suggestion of Mayer, that on some

that shocking things might come

Attorney Margaret Fay contcuds
that women should be tried by wom-

juvenile cases by women.

Miss Cirese. another attorney. "Ju-
rtes should he mixed. \ little addj-

But while these legal rights arc
mixed on the make-up of jurics. they
hang together on tho principal that

the law says that juries arc to bo
