Brittsh Isles. became an instrument of injustice when first 1t was trans. planted to tho Continent. France in the fervor of her new freedom, from monarchy. adopted the jury system in l1s3. But soon the leaders of the Revolution debased 1t. They packed juries and made them the engines of death in the Reign Of Terror. It is said that Paris jury in 179l tried and condemned to the guillo- tines 7s persons in q single day.
 Despite her unhappy experience France has kept the jury system, but in . modified form. Civil suits never 90 before juries in France and three judges sit on the bench instead of the single judge required in tho British Empire and the Unit cd States. Napoleon, marching up and down Europe. carried the jury system in his knapsack and installed it here and there. The uprising of 1s4s brought the big German states into line. Austria, Italy. Belgium. Switzerland and others also adopted the institution. Just before the turn of the century the Russian Tsar proclaimed 1t throughout his broad domain.
 Juries Oaly In Iil,el Suits
 Mexico. San Salvador. Colombia, Ecuador, and Uruguay use the jury system, although some of their Latin neighbors do not. The Scandi- navian countries employ juries only in libel suits.
 Emperor Charles the Great, bet ter known as Charlemagne, has been given . complimentary handle to his name for his military conquests but a better measure of his greatness is his act of planting the seed of the

DEMOCRATS EXPECT.
 ID CONTROL HOUSE
Chairman 0ldhdd Predicts xl.
 iolity Of % tt Lalst

New York. Oct. 2s-Democratic control of the next House of Repre- sentatives. to be elected November 6. by majority of not less than 20 and which may % to 50. is claimed by Chairman William A. Oldfield in . preliminary forecast issued by the Democratic National Congressional committee today.
 Mr. Oldfield said that reports re- ceived at his campaign headquartera made him confident that the demo- crats would capture . minimum of Fl districts now represented by re- publicans. with possibility of over- tudning between 50 and 60 districts.
 These gains, MT. Oldfield said, will be in every section of the country, from New England to the Pacific coast. In the present house. there are l95 democrats with 21S neces- sary for . majority. An overturn of only 23 districts would give the democrats a bare majority. An over- turn of 31 districts. the minimum which Chairman Oldfield forecasts, would give the democrats c26 seats. There are two districts in Minne- sota represented by independents whose reelection is regarded as prob able. This would leave 207 seats to the republicans or a democratic plurality over the republicans of 1s.
 Mir. Oldtield said while he was &C., tually claiming only s1 additional democratic congressmen. as sure. he fixed that as the absolute minimum and placed the number of districts in which tho democrats have a splendid chance of success at as high as 50. A gain of 50 seats would give the democrats | plurality over the republicans of 5s. and 1t ts quite possible. Mir. Oldheld said, for the democrats to have control of the next house by margin of 50 or more seats.
 Expects Gain tn East
 Chairman Oldfield said that the sentiment in the east would sweep l0I0 tnG ucluOCIdtAS NVlAA9A AAAA"-s congressmen in districts now repre- sented by republicans. In the north west, the farm revolt is working to the advantage of democratic candi- dates in | great many districts. he said.
 One thing that is notable about this campaign, MT. Oldfield said, II that the democrats are fighting from one end of the country to the other. There is hardly district in the country in which the democrats do not have a candidate for congress. In many districts which have been allowed to go by default in past elections, democratic candidates are in the field waging vigorous cam paign.

YOUR
CHILDREN
~ MueR 6e,zs Barton
Clo20 bY NEA Service.lne.

Allow your children to play on
the ground.
There is something about Old
Mother Earth that they need. But
they'll have to get right next to
her skin with no blankets or boards
under them to get the real benefit.
I am sorry to say tina: Mother
Earth is no coddler and she is likely
to be damp and cold sometimes.
Then, when she is in that mood. it
is better to let her alone. Colds
and sickness may result.
But in the good old summertime,
no child takes much of a chance by
getting right down and cuddling up
as close to her as possible. It is
good for young and old alike. To sit
down, lie down, stay down, and let
Old Sol boil you out, is good thing
for all.
In the newest and best hospitals
they have wards for sick and con-
valescent children where the sun
rays can shine directly down on them
through quartz glass windows.
Quartz does not divert the rays.
This is for winter, Of course.
Also the new apparatus for ail-
ing grown-ups is the n-machine."
When we have to buy the sun, we
think it marvellous. When we are
handed it free, it isn't appreciated.
The earth and the sun! Natures
two big cure-alls. 1t is difficult for
grown-ups to take the earth cure un-
less they are some place in the coun-
try or at the shore where they can
flop down.
But it is easy for children, even
for city children. Have you a back
yard, or side yard, or any yard?
Take up those bricks and put in
clean sand or make part of it into
lawn. If possible try to get the
children to the country for little
while or take them as often as pos
! sible to the park where they can be
on the ground.
Don't fuss about mud or dirt.
Strength is more important than a
little dirt.
But not damp ground; let that be
repeated-hor cold ground.
Another thing. There can be too
much sun. A shady place should be
provided for hot days, and little chill
dren should wear hats.
Parents in apartments are being
urged, if it is possible for them to
do so, to get place where children
are brought into contact with the
ground and the sun and fresh air.

The WOman's Day

"A modest man should not marry
woman who shows her legs for
the inspection of any Tom, Dick or
Harry who may be in her neighbor-
hood. It is fair to assume that the
woman who exposes her person in
public before male strangers might
make a like exposure before male
acquaintance when in the seclusion
Of a home. Few women (save wom-
en- with no social background what
soever) wear gowns with 1-2 of 1
per cent skirts. Men are more jeal-
Gus of the modesty Of their women
than the women themselves are.
Why"
Why It Is
These words Of wisdom spring
from one Of the frequent anony-
nous communications sent forth by
an organization self-styled "Associ-
alton Overworked Underpaid :
Dishwashing Housewives" wit h
headquarters "By the Cook Stove
and the Cradle with the Wash-Tub
Nearby" The communications are
not always SO asinine as this sam
pie.
One is oftimes prompted to be-
lieve that the most modest women
are those who have the least affec-
tation about their bodies and make
no pretcnse to draping them. The
attitude expressed in the commune
cation goes back to a day when

Shall Babies Be Saved?
The infant mortality rate in cities
of the United States dropped to 64.9
deaths for each 1000 babies last
year, the lowest it has ever been.
This creates one Of those odd per-
sonal-impersonal situations. Scien-
tists-eugenists, biologists, states
men deplore the fact. They know
that one of the most alarming
phenomena of life today is the ever
increasing life line and the ever
decreasing death line. The earth
cannot much longer feed our popu-
lation, they say. But biologist,
eugenist, economist, statesman, is
also a father, and asa father he calls
this decreased infant mortality
news the greatest news possible.

On the stage, in public and at pri-

tracts. During my performances
women never fail to ask the secret
of my perfect wave and the youthful,
lively sheen of my hair.
It is very simple. l wave my own
hair. First l moisten it with my
liquid hair-dress, Wave and Sheen. l
use comb to apply it. Then l care
fully insert the combs. ] tie a piece
of chiffon over my head. By the
time ! am ready to complete my
toilette the waves are in to stay.
A radiant sheen, free from sticki-
ness, is the chief charm of this
simple method. Wave and Sheen is
the only dressing I would use on my
hair. 1t is the only preparation l
know that does not give the "plas-
tered" effect, which l cannot toler-
ate. The hair, must have some air
in order to be healthy and free from
dandruff.
You can get a bottle of my Wave

All children need these things as
much as they do good food.
Nerves rest outdoors. Children
seldom quarrel in the open or show
other signs of unhappiness. 1t
breeds wholesomeness of thought as
well as body. Scrub them and dress
them up at four o'clock or whenever
it is your custom to make them good

But give them about six or seven
hours day in the play yard in the
summer. They need it.
