Are the As slipping? If the champs are going to repeat last years performance, they've got to snap out of the worst slump the team has ever been in. Last Fri day, the Cooney boys dropped three in a row to the Pirates; I reckon, it's the first time the As lost three straight during three years of bowling. oh! We'll. all champions have their bad innings.

Woman Juror Makes Good

BY GRETCHEN SMITH.

Locked up for 10 days as the only
woman member of jury sitting In q
recent case in District Supreme Court,
Mrs. Elwood Street. wife of the director
of the Community Chest, resorted In
after-court hours to such time passing
expedientS as giving bridge lessons to
the male jurors, sewing buttons on their
clothes and preparing the menus for
their meals.
The fury was ordered locked UP during
the trial and on the first night Of their
confinement bailin was sent out for q
deck Of cards.
IT realized that it was Just as hard
as it was on myself" she said after the
jury had been discharged. IT decided
that bridge would help pass away time,
but after the cards were brought in
found that not many OF my fellow Jurors
could play the game. Several OF them
wanted to learn, however, so gave
lessons, and in that way the evenings
passed very nicely"
Mrs. Street also found a pleasant &C.
cupation in mending some Of the jurors
clothes. II sent for a needle and thread
that needed buttons and rips that need
ed sewing" she laughed. 1T gave me
something to do"
Advised Hotel Chef.
In addition to this, the LADY Juror
found that the hotel chef was pleased
to receive her advice In matters Of diet,
and the IL masculine members of the
jury received many q choice tid-bit,
with a well balanced meal of fruit and
vegetables, through the suggestion Of
Mrs. Street.
A plant sent to her was placed upon
the jury table during meal hours and
although the gentlemen of. the jury
frowped when they first heard they
were to share their duties with wom-
an, they were forced to smile at the
woman's presence before the duty was
finished.
For over 10 years, Mrs. Street,
national chairman of the Committee
on Social Hygiene of the National League
of Women Voters, has advocated jury
service for women upon every occasion
possible. Mrs, Street has long believed
that intelligent thinking Of the mature
feminine mind could be put to good Use
upon the jlries Of American courts. The
devoted mother of four children, all of
whom attend school, Mrs Street does not
believe in women deserving small chill
dren or neglecting their homes. in order
to serve the public. But she points out
that there are many hundreds Of women
in the country, whose children are
grown, or are at the "all day" school
age; women, whose homes are well
and running smoothly, who:
can give their services for jury duty
with less sacrifice perhaps than men.

Newspaper clippings on prohibition
raids and other prohibition questions,
including editorials, soon will begin

Orders to this effect have gone out

A short time ago the Prohibition

certain their stand upon enforcement
questions. This was recalled by ON

left unanswered.
