A Handy Garden Measure

The well regulated garden is laid

of hunting up the tape or the stick,
and always to have a measure handy
when at work in the garden, it is
an excellent plan to mark off the
hoe and rake handle into foot, yard,
and six-ineh lengths. This can be
done either by painting black or

Soviet Russia Now
Has Court System
BY EDWIN w. HULLINGER

Omitted Press StalI CoTfespohueHl'
Moscow (By Mail) An organized
system of criminal courts, gradual
ing from peoples" or justice Of
the peace courts, to superior, APP
pellate tribunals, and supreme
court, are now trying cases publicly
in large cities and in many small
towns throughout Russia, Pavel Pc
tropf, Lovroff, presiding judge OF
the Moscow superior Revolutionary
Tribunal, declared in an interview
with the United Press.
Thus far, these courts have dealt
almost exclusively with cases of
bribery and corruption among pub
lie officials, ENLIGHTENMENT or despoil-
alton of public stocks, or petty
thievery, Lovroff said. Later, their
activities will be extended.
Hearings Of political prisoners
are still conducted in secret by the
"Cheka,'' according to Lovroff.
The tribunals are operating with
out any written statutes or Grim
inal code, beyond few general de-
crees from the Kremlin during the
earlier days Of the revolution,
Judges are at liberty to use their
own discretion in administering SEN
tences,'' Lovroff explained.
1--WE are bound by no law except
that of our own conscience. No
written law, either criminal or civil
exists in Russia at present. The
czar's statutes were all swept away
at the time of the revolution, and
no new ones have been drawn up
understand, however, that our
Justice department is now at work
compiling a written code.
With the exception OF the lower
peoples courts, the tribunals are
each manned by three judges, APP
pointed by the government in Mos
COW, according to Lovroff. Unani-
nifty is necessary to convict. In
case Of division, all write out their
decisions and the case is automatic
ally referred to the higher court
There are no juries.
The judges are mostly former
workers, who have proved them
selves trustworthy and possessed Of
level heads. Virtually none have
ever had legal experience, although
many of the attorneys now prac-
ticing in the courts were lawyers
before the war. The majority OF
the judges are Communists.
Lovroff himself was an iron foun-
dry worker, Smirkoff, presiding jus
tice OF the supreme court, sitting
in Moscow, was a baker.
1.-The accused may have as many
attorneys as he wishes" Lovroff
said. Generally, when a number
of people are tried at once, they
agree on two or three lawyers to
defend them" There is no formal
"admittance to the bar" in Russia.
Any citizen can appear in the ca
pacity of an attorney, with the
aceused's consent, There are no
examinations for the bar.
The three or four cases | have
personally attended were conducted
with commendable simplicity, al
Many witnesses were heard. The
defendant always exercised his
right to cross-examine personally
all those who appeared against him,
There are really four tiers of
tribunals" Lovroff explained, Two
graduations OF peoples courts and
two of superior Revolutionary War
Tribunals"

preme court will be woman.
She is ready to make a fight of it.

cts better that we start modestly,'
she reasons, "and make good, than to

Such modesty is expected to have
it's own reward, even from the wo-
men voters who are said not to be
any too strong for women in public
office
AS member of the recognized Re-

is booked for number of meetings,

specific information concerning the city ;
activities. and what is being done with

Municipal government is becoming
more complex and more a matter for
expert attention as time goes IN; and
the staff of investigators, statlsticiana
and specialists employed by the bureau,
although they endeayor not to antago-
niZe ANYBODY. nevertheless manage TO get
the facts concerning engineering, health,
civil service, law and the city techni-
cal problems.
The bureau has for instance, made a
scientific study of the street cleaning
problem: it has fought for standardized
salaries in the civil service and has
stood against nolitieal influence IN en-
pIoyment: ii has initiated modern ac-
counting methods, has brought about an
imnroved budget. reorganizcd the bureau
of compulsory education and SO

for the creation of the bureau of weights

These are but a few of its many ac-
t~ivities. The theory back OF the bureau
is that q citizen ought TO know the eN-
act conditions in his home town.

the animal is properly skinned.
