Man Called As Judge
Thought Self Accused

In Germany the common courts are
composed of three professional and two
"lay" judges chosen like jurors. At Q
court in Berlin recently the presiding
Judge noted the uneasy demeanor a.
one Of the lay magistrates. During the
proceedings this man sat without a%y
show Of interest, looking miserable and
casting appealing looks at the states at
torney. When the judges who had to
pass the verdict were about to leave the
court room, the president heard the un-
paid magistrate speaking to the police
sergeant. He approached and heard to
his greatest establishment, II dare not
60 home, sergeant. dare not tell my
wife, who Is Iii In bed, that have been
found guilty. I have never been In
court before; have all my papers and
testimonials with me; was never asked
to show them. Really, I have never
done anything against the law In all
my life" The judges crowded around,
and under peals Of laughter the poor
lay magistrate was informed that he
had not been asked to attend the court
as an accused, but had been summoned
to do his citizens duty e. o maGistgAte

do you think that through the utilization Of
all our technical and moral resources the time Is
coming when we will be able to make an effort TO
solve overproducton with prospect Of success2"
Mr. Edison said he preferred shorter questions
so he could make shorter answers. Consequently
we turned to his customary form of interview. the
QUESTIONABLE. It ran thus:
O. What do you think of the possibility Of solv-
ing periodical overproduction and resulting un-
employment? Do you believe it can be done7
A. No. I think these recessions always
bound to take place because of the very nature Of
man. He will always 6verdo everything he's got
to do. He sees no limits. He is q natural-born
gambler.
However, periods of recession will not occur so
often as In the past and there will be quicker
recovery from them
Q. What makes you think so?
A. Because our brains have enormous capaci-
ties, and beginning to realize what i'm
mense capacities they have. We will learn to
plan better.
Unemployment Can Be Helped.
Q. You think, then, that our combined intelli-
gence in the future will work out more efdcient
methods Of operation, so that production will be
held requirements is humanity possible,
and that unemployment, If not cured will be
ISuuCcO az IcdSG!
A. Yes Unemployment and the effects of UNI
employment can be helped, and right now they
are being helped to some extent. We ought to be
able to do much better in the future-to make
unemployment much less destructive. Undoubt-
eddy we are better equipped to deal with our
problems than ever before. The Department Of
Commerce is one of the greatest in our Govern

Human relationships in industry have improved

most practical and the most sentimental people

Foch Memoirs Tell How Drive

leader of the 9th Army, which held
a central position at the battle OF the
Marine In connection with this first
turning point of the war, Foch's mod
esty and sure appraisal are seen in a
later remark to friend that he him
self would not have been equal to this
struggle at the time. Marshal Jofre,
he held, was the only man in France
who could have done what he did. Jof-
FIRE alone of the prominent generals
had political backing which enabled
him to take the risk. Foch disliked
politicians, but by the time he came
to the chief command politicians had
begun to learn their place.
It Is known that Foch was in con-
tinuous Ill health toward the end OF
the war. but he makes no mention OF
his sufferings. 1t Is perhaps not 80
we'll known that he was a very devout
man, and that before every great ac-
ton he would retire to a neighboring
church TO pray. He does not notice
this either, for his memoirs are con-
cerned with the World War primarily
and only afterward with the marshal
who led the victoious armies.
