Scrofula Most Progressive Now

Sudden changes of weather are especial
ly trying, and probably to none more so
than to the scrofulous and consumptive.
The progress of scrofula during nor
m al autumn is commonly great.
It is probable that few people ever think
of scrofula-its punches, eruptions, and
wasting of the body-without thinking
of the benefit many sufferers from it have
derived from Hoods Sarsaparilla, whose
success in the treatment of this one dis
ease alone would be enough to make II
what it is, one of the most famous medi-
cines in the world.
There is probably not city or town
where Hoods Sarsaparilla has not proved
it's merit in more homes than one, IN ar
resting and completely eradlcating scroll
ula, which is almost as serious ana as
much to be feared as it's near relative
consumption.
Hoods Pills, the cathartic to take with
Hoods Sarsaparilla, in cases where one
is necessary, are gentle in action anu
thorough in effect.

MORE JUDGES FAVOR
JURY DUTY REFORM
Would Abolish Exemption by
Law, Leaving 1t Discretion
airy With Court.

Judge Alfred J. Talley's estimate OF
available jury material, published yes
terday, has revived the hope among
other judges and a great many lawyers
that the State Legislature win take
steps to cut down the number Of classes
OF citizens now exempt from jury duty
This was said yesterday by another
prominent jurist and an equally well
known lawyer Neither would permit
the use of his name In connection with
the controversy that Judge Talley seems
to have started.
\ Both the Judge and the lawyer de-
clared that they were not sanguine OF
seeing the Legislature remedy the exist
ing "evil," as they termed 1t, and both
said that there was more likelihood of
other exempt classes being added to the
nineteen existing ones.
There is small probability OF the mat
ter of jury duty being taken up Of
ficially by the Judges of General Ses-
sions at their next meeting. One of
them declared that they had talked the
situation over so much that it had
ceased to be worth while. But he
agreed with Judge Talley in that there
is a feeling OF revolt against police testi-
mony and that it is founded upon a
The New York herald., 1922-02-20

seemingly prevalent disregard for au-
thority.
The lawyer mentioned above declared
that the Eighteenth Amendment to the
Constitution was responsible for no
small amount of this spirit of lawless-
ness mentioned as more or less charac-
teristic by Judge Tally. He declared
that breaking the Volstead law had be-
come a highly desirable thing in the
minds of a vast number of people and
that this had led to a more general
sneering at the written statute.
One Judge declared that he saw moth
ing significant In the fact that Judges
Talley. Rosalsky and Mancuso should
have had the same sort of trouble with
jurymen within forty-eight hours He
regarded 1t as coincidence rather than
general understanding. He declared il

material is of average intelligence and

would rejoice TO see all nineteen ex-
empted classes abolished and excuse

MA YOR HYLAN ASSAILS
MEYER SCHOOL BILL
Sends Vitriolic Attack on Sem

Mayor John L. Hylan, who is at Palm
Beach. sent statement to City Hall
last night in which he denounced Sena-
tor Schuyler VI. Meyer and the educa-
tional bill which the Senator has intro
duced in the state Senate, declaring
that if the power TO appoint the New
York city Board of Education is placed
in the hands OF the State Board of
Regents. as is proposed in the Meyer
bill, 1t would remove the last vestige of
popular control over the school system.
Senator Schuyler NJ Meyer. the dis
credited head OF the shopping commit
tee which squandered 100000 of the
peoples money in a futile attempt to
get something on the present city ad-
ministration and to prevent my re-
election. is again the instrument OF
new attack on the city's welfare by
sponsoring a bill to perpetuate the con-
troll Of the school system under poll
ticians who work with the self consti-
tuted political ring inside the educa-
tional department.
"The vicious Meyer bill provides for
increasing the Board Of Education from
seven TO fifteen members. In 1917, at
the request Of the Mitchell administra-
tion, through the influence Of the RoclSe-
leiler Foundation. the Board OF Educa-
tiou was reduced from forty to seven
members, the idea being that Il would

Mrs. Robertson was still i'll last night
from the shock of the robbery and would
not discuss the robbery. She has not yet
been able to give the Deal police list
of the stolen jewels.
The absence of servants in the house
was explained to the police by Mrs
Robertson, who said that she opened
the place only when she went occasion
ally to Deal to superintend some con-
struction work that is going on among
her real estate holdings there. This is
perhaps once or twice week, and she
has not felt it necessary to keep the
house full stated with servants. She
recently added to her real estate hold
ings at Deal by the purchase of several
valuable pieces of property. on which
are several partly finished houses.
Mrs. Robertson's second huband was
Charles G.. Miller of Ohio, who left her
an estate of more than s1,O00,00O. She
went into Wall street with her fortune,
and her adventures there and her ac-
tivities in the financial district gained
her much attention. She finally retired
from Wall street. but later her brokers,
II. Content & Co.. sued her and obtained
judgment for 100000 in 1915.
Mrs. Robertson said that she had re-
tired from Wall street at the request of
her husband, DR.. Joseph A. Robertson,
to whom she was married some time
after the death of her second husband.
In 1916 they separated, after Mrs Rob
ertson had declared that she found him
at her bedroom with an ak waiting for
her TO come out. She had him arrested
charged with disorderly conduct but

The Roma Inquiry.

The investigation into the cause Of
the Roma tragedy proceeds. the Army
board assembled for that purpose hav-
ing promptly met and settled down to
its appointed task. The fall of the
giant airship has thus far, on the
testimony of survivors. been attributed
to failure of the elevating rudder and
to failure of the control by which
the movement of the rudder is regu-
lated. In such a disaster. where all
material entering into the construction
has been destroyed or smashed and
deformed almost beyond recognition. it
is difficult to determine what part of
the mechanism went wrong first! 1t
may be that such defects as developed
in this ship may be avoided in build
ing other airships if the motoriballoon
is to keep the air. There is current
Of belief that the heavier-than-air ma
chine-the motor driven plane-will
dispIace aircraft of the Roma type. but
there is contrary opinion among ex-
perts, for many Of them hold that the
motor-balloon has a useful destiny and
that it will keep it's place in the sky.
