COURT METHOD
IS ATTACKED
IN DECISION
Practice of 26 Years in BaIti-
more County Declared to
Be Unconstitutional

phans Jones, alias Euel Lee,
Eastern Shore negro con
victed of killing Green X,
Davis, Taylorsville (Hd.)
farmer, has been granted a
new trial by the Court of Ap-
peals.
The court held that the selec,
tion Of the jury which heard the
alleged slayer's trial at Towson
was marked by Unconstitutional
exclusion of negroes"
The court held that the method
Of selecting juries in Baltimore
county for the last 26 years
'seems to show an established
practice, confining selection to
white men as effectually as If
such q restriction were prescribed
by statute"
The decision, written by Chief
Judge Carroll T. Bond, was con-
CURED In by A: -ociate Judges
Hammond Urner, William Adkins,
w. Mitchell Digges, D. Lindley
Sloan and r. Neal Parke. Asso-
ciate Judges John Pattison and
r. Scott Offutt did not hear the
appeal as the case had been in
their jurisdiction.
Quotes Supreme Court
Quoting at length from de-
cisions written by the United
States Supreme Court, Judge Bond
wrote that the procedure followed
by Judge Duncan, o. the Balti.
more county court, in selecting
his panel of juries, "shows an
established practice or system in
which no opening is left for mem
berS of the negro race to obtain
places on jurieS."
Davis, his wife and their two
daughters, were slain in their
farm home, near TaylorSville,
October IL, 1881. Jones, or Lee,
who had been employed as a
farmland by Davis, was arrested,
and taken to Snow Hill and later
removed to the Baltimore city
Jail as mob violence was feared
on the Eastern Shore.

Advice to the LoveIorn
By Beatrice Fairfax

considered another woman Serl-
ously, since we were married 10
years ago. VICTIM.
My dear man, the thing for
you to do is to consult a men
tai specialist in regard to your
wife and find out what's at
the root of her disorder. Per-
haps psychoanalysis might, help,
although I'm always a little
slow in recommending this,
and should like to have the
specialists opinion first. When
jealousy has reached the de-
gree you describe. it's beyond
the power of any layman to
offer suggestions. There may be
some obscure cause for this un-
happy mental weakness, that
only a physician can discover.
1t may sound flat to say so, but
you have my sympathy, indeed
my very deepest sympathy.
Sounds Like a Weak Brother
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
I am in love with a boy a
little older than I am. We
have been going together for
about six months. He comes
to my house about once week,
but lately he's got in with very
bad company who have lnflu-
enced him to leave me flat.
In this he has been influenced
by a boy I used to go with,
but am sorry that I ever knew.
My boy friend is easily led, and
he lets this former friend Of
mine make up his mind for
him and make. dates for him
with other girls, too. These
girls have won beauty prizes
in a Follies revue. Please tell
me how I can win back my
used-to-be boy friend, as I am
very unhappy without him.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
wonder if you really care
about this boy friend as much
as you imagine, or isn't it just
a question of wounded pride?
You want to get him away from
a crowd that has taken him
away from you. It's a sort of
tug-of-war between you, with a
rather unstable boy pulled first
one way and then the other.
I didn't believe you're really in
love with him, because you see
his faults too clearly. You
know he is weak, easily influ-
enced and let's another boy
control his dates" A young
man like that is likely to drift
back to you when the other
crowd stops exerting pressure.
It's all right to take him back
if you're just flirting, but I
hope for your own sake that
you're not thinking about him
very seriously,

tacking her salad. HE and

They're talking about going

Sarah. out of her long loyal
friendship with the Hardings.
She was Lynn's godmother. And
1t was she who had poured
soothing syrup on the troubled
family waters when young Lynn,
after less than a year at her
State university, had decided
she had been enough expense
to the family and must there

who had found this job for her

But Lynn had refused.

Moreover, you'd think it your

Manners
Are Correct
Service Plates
DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:

DEAR MRS. BEECkMAN:
/. Will you please explain the
use of service plates? Not long
ago 1 went to a luncheon in
very attractive home and silver
service plates were used. I
might add that the lady was en-.
tertaining her bridge club, and
the luncheon was limited to one
course. SQUAD was served, and
to me it was rather awkward
using a knife, and having The
luncheon plate set on the silver
been Just as proper to have had
service plate. Would it have
the service plate removed by the
maid when she placed the food?
In fact that is what I should
have done. Which is correct?
2. When there are two guests
of honor at a dinner, are the
seats of honor at the right of
the hostess and left of the
host? And if just one guest OF
honor, which is the chosen
place?
l.. agree with you. With
these plans for luncheon, the
hostess might have instructed
the maid to change the service
plate for the heated luncheon
plate. Of course the hostess
was not entirely wrong, for
sometimes hosteSSeS owning sill
yer service plates do allow them
to remain even under the plates
of the main course Of either
luncheon or dinner. But this is
an unusual form of service,
and usually gives an awkward
appearance to the service. as
you say that it did in this case.
2. This depends on whether
the guest of honor or the guests
of honor are women or men.
The woman guest of honor is
placed at the right of the host,
the second place Of honor for
a woman guest being the left
of the host. If the guest of
honor is a man, he is given the
seat at the right of the hostess,
and if there are two men guests
of honor, the other man is
given the second seat of honor,
on the left of the hostess.

WASHINGTON FASHIONS

This year it's possible to look
slinkiW than ever. If you've
spent months trying to take
off a few pounds and haven't
succeeded, you my yet achieve
the desired effect without &C.
tually losing the pounds. For
there's a whole new set of fab
RIGS on the market that are de-
signed to help you out. We've
sketched them before in active
sports versions. but here today
are some spectator sports
clothes, or types that will do
for general wear in the day
time. From the drawings you
might think they were silk
crepe, but when you get them
on, you will see the enormous
difference.
Prints on Jersey
The materials made of acele
yarn, or of similar dull rayon
threads, are these marvellous
fabrics that do such good things
for you. You may have seen
them already in checks, plaids,
or plain colors, and now they
are coming out in printed
patterns. They go by many
names, briella for sports clothes,
peau DANCE jersey, or doeskin
for plain weave jersey that is
used for spectator types, or for
street frocks. Because they
are so supple and pliable and
because they are heavy yet not
thick, they hang in slinky.
straight lines and give the ef-
feet of great slenderness. In
fact If you want to take a few
pounds off, just try a doeskin
frock and see if you can't get
just as good an effect as you
can by weeks of dieting.
Dull Surface Best
These new materials come
in the most heavenly colors,
too. One of the dresses we
have sketched today is in a
clear, pastel green, smooth and
dull of course and for color
contrast it takes brown compo-
sition buttons. It is a two
piece dress, the skirt seperate,
so it is easy to adjust to your
figure. The Vionnet twist at
the neckline is flattering and
the cape sleeves make the dress

days, after which they drop
off. Their bite causes intense
itching, and if the distribution
is wide, may even cause fever
and sometimes a definite form
of nervous trouble.
In Japan a mite very similar
to the American chigger is the
carrier for a very serious dis
ease known as Tsutsugamushi,
or Japanese river fever.
In treatment, a hot bath
with plenty of soap followed by
a light sponging of the affected
parts with weak ammonia solu-
ton or alcohol will usually kill
or remove them. Sulphur oint-
ment and carbolized vaseline
are also efficient.
Best of all, but attended with
some element Of danger, Is to
take a wooden toothpick and
dip it in a solution Of carbolic
acid and then just touch the
spots on the skin where the
chigger has become attached.
Do not use cotton on the tooth
pick or there will be danger Of
the carbolic running down the
skin and making a burn. All
you need to do is to touch the
spot lightly and the toothpick
need only be moiStened with
the carbolic. The carbolic not
only kills the mite but also acts
as an anaesthetic to the skin
and stops the itching. After
the Application has been made
take a hot bath, washing with
plenty Of soap.

A Question of Family
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:

A Question of Family
DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
Should I leave my husband
because I cannot give him chill
dren? Here is my story. We
have been married three years
now, and are as much in love
as ever. There will never be any
children because I cannot have
any.
My mind has been driving me
crazy. He knows it all, but he
says he doesn't care if we never
have any. Now I feel that am
doing him wrong. Why shouldn't
he have a wife who can give
him a child? After all, what is
married life without children?
He's crazy about me. He does
not remember a mother or
fathers love, and he depends
so much on me for that. 1t
would break his heart if left;
and yet I feel I should give him
chance with someone else.
Should I take this step and
leave him? Would I be foolish?
hope you will publish this
so I can read your answer to
me. Thank you. WORRIED.
It seems to me, my dear, that
you've allowed this situation to
get on your nerves and worry
you unduly. You and your huS-
band love each other. That is
the vital thing. Indeed, many
childleSS couples are more de-
voted than people with chill
dren.
Have you thought of adopting
a child? Babies make their own
places in families, and create
their own love. In a little
while, adaptive parents become
as devoted as if the child were
their own. And then, some
times, the miracle happens-a
child is born to parents who
have adopted one. Please don't
worry any more. Your attitude
of mind is the only barrier to
your own and your husbands
happiness.
