SINGING HAZARDS
Bv ROBERT BENCHLEY

tried to sing bass and it made
is nose bleed"
Now, that may seem a very
funny joke to you Cor it may
not, but, If it doesn't never
darken my door AGAIN. but it
represents, without a doubt, one
of the things which a bass
singer has got to watch out
for.
A rupture Of the delicate
membrance of the nose and
throat, or a too great strain put
upon the blood vessels, and
bass-singing can transform a
place into Shambles.
The eyes, too, come in for
their share of punishment. In
executing a really good descent
into the lower register, the eyes
must either be closed (by far
the safest methoO or rolled
back into the head as the brow
goes upward.
If the singer persists in look
ing at his audience while his
chin is in his collar, he is rum
ming the risk of permanent dis
location of the eyeballS, which
will give him a rather horrid
look when he raises his head
again.

Jury Faults
Reform Needed.

The appointment by Mr.. f. Regis Noel, president Of
the District Bar Association of special committee to
study the jury system in operation in Washington opens
the way for healthy reform
The functionng of the jury system in the National
Capital has been faulty for years.
ITS FAULTS HAVE PROVED D1sADvANTA-
GEoUs TO THE ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE
HERE HAVE INCONVENIENCE THOUSANDS OF
OUR CITIZENS, HAVE DIsMAYED TRAINED LAW
YERs AND HAVE, UPON OCCASION, PROVOKED
WIDESPREAD DISGUST.
To the lay mind the most obvious defect in the system
has been the limitation and restriction imposed upon the
personnel selected for jury service.
These limitations and restrictions instead of tending
toward the selection of the most intelligent and i'm
partial ures have worked in many instances toward
the opposite goal
LAWS, AND COURT DECISIONS HAVING THE
EFFECT OF LAW, WHILE OBVIOUSLY BASED
UPON THE DESIRE TO PRESERVE THE SANCTITY
OF TRIAL BY JURY, HAVE RESULTED IN BAR
RING FROM JURY DUTY MANY OF OUR MOST
ABLE CITIZENS. THESE SAME LAWS AND COURT
DECISIONS HAVE OPENED THE JURY PANELS
TO MANY WHO OBVIOUSLY ARE NOT FITTED
EITHER BY ABILITY OR INTELLIGENCE TO
WEIGH THE EVIDENCE WHICH THEY HEAR
AND SEE.
The faults in jury system have not only outraged
Justice in garng instances but they have proven
costly financially to TIE Districts taxpayers
We have seen the work of grand jures thrown into
the discard weeks after their service because of the
presence of person technically disqualified in the
jury room.
Because of these instances hundreds of have had
to be heard by grand uries although claimed
and could substantially claim that any defendants
rights prejudced.
The shyster lawyer views the faults Of the jury system
with joy They enable him to save guilty defendant
through technicaites.
The honest lawyer views the same faults with dis
may. They initiate against his obtaining justice for
those he represents.
In the selection of Mr. Leo A. Rover to head the jury
study committee President Noel has chosen wisely. AS
District Attorney Mr. Rover had ample opportunity to
view the workings of the system and to survey its defects
IT IS TO BE HOPED THAT HIS COMMITTEE
WILL BE ABLE TO FIND THE FAULTS AND WORK
OUT LEGISLATION WHICH WILL REMEDY THEM

IN. the Junior League the boys
are showing a marked improve
ment over the way they played in
the first half. The Yobng Boys
Social Club, Cuban. Club, Gates
Stars, Goodyears and Park Stars
have shown some Improvements.
The Cuban boys so far have shown
the best marks, then k6me the So
eial Boys. Gates Stars, Goodyears
and Park boys. The Park Stars
have been reorganiztng and have
some new faces but I'm a week or
50 watch them go places. The
Gatesters have lost some of their
best players. but they are still
fighting hard for THAI second half
pennant. The Cuban Club has
shown lots of fighting spirit in
the last three games. Isdon't know
how long. this will; last. The Social
boys go in streals-tney play q
game good and then bne or two
bad. They have. got to break
away from that habit. As for the
Goodyears, they GENERALLY win
when Gates goes out and manages
them, but they always lose when
he does not show up. 4et's hope

Rome Ships Cats to Co
 After Rats
Hundreds of Felines Being Sent Into Agricultural
 Districts of Country

ROME, March 15.-Cats by the hundred are lfeK1lng from their old homesteads in the colosseum, the pantheon, Trajan's forum and others of Rome's ancient monu- ments, to try life in a new land.
 Their roads lead to the recently created agricultural communities between here and Naples, where armies of rats have appeared to harrass the farmers. The cats are assured comfortable homes if they succeed in putting the rodents to flight.
 The migration was ordered when, coinciding with an urgent petition from the farmers, the authorities decided that the congestion was growing too great in the historic ruins, which for many years have been hayens for homeless felines.
 Three hundred cats were order ed by the community of Littoria alone. Each family agreeing to house one of the animals must promise that it will receive kind treatment, but is left the option of returning it in case it does not prove it's worth as a rat eXtermin- atOr

FRENCH PREMIER IS GIVEN BROAD. TARIFF POWERS.
Is Made Dictator by Par. lament of France Tn
 Trade Agreements

PARIS, March 15.-(Copyright 1884 by the Associated Press) = The tariff bargaining powers re- quested by American President Roosevelt, matching those now held by Premier Gaston Doumergue, will greatly stimulate trade, French and American officials and also commercial leaders here, said today
 This is the brightest promise of increased sales seen here that has emerged from the tangled trade situation in years one of ficial declared, viewing as pos sible a reciprocal agreement on trade quota arrangements,
 If President Roosevelt is given the authority he seeks, it is said, the United States and France can quickly come to terms for a reciprocal agreement of some sor5.
 The French Parliament has in vested Premier Doumergue with powers which make him virtually a tariff dictator. The American tariff policy contains no provisions for barter or bargaining, while France has been on a barter ba- sis for a long time.

INFORMATION ABOUT JORGEN BERG DESIRED
 BY HIS RELATIVES

Relatives of Jorgen Berg, who was born in Her Helgeland, Nor way, in 1878, and left his home in St. Paul, Minnesota, in 1906, are anxious for information regarding him and his present whereabouts, according to letter received today by Chief of Police c. J. Davis.
 In 1907, card was received by his relatives, from Palsbo, Wash ington, saying that MT. Berg had left for Alaska. He is a carpenter, fisherman and farmer, and is said to have served as a seaman aboard a ship plying between Alaska and Seattle in 1916. He is also be- lieved to have worked for both the Welding and Independent and San Juan Fishing and Packing com panies.

FRENCH OCEAN
 AIR SERVICE
 PLANNED NOW
Is Expected to Dominate
 German Competition to South America

PARIS, March 15.-France soon will institute four-to- five day South American air mail service designed to meet and dominate German competition, it is learned here.
 The new service will be estab- lished through shortening the steamer-served gap and by drop ping mail by parachutes to boats.
 Eventually an affair service is expected through the use of Frances big, new planes.
 Technical Problems Delay
 The use of such planes is re- quired in the French contract with Argentina, but the all-air clause in the contract, now in effect, is to be extended until technical prob lemts are solved.
 Number Three of Frances trio of giant transoceanic planes, the four-motored seaplane, Santos Du- mont, is undergoing tests. It is all-metal and is designed to carry several tons of mail and 20 pas sengers.
 May Be Repaired in Air
 Builders say the plane can stay in the air with only two or three of it's motors working and all four, with total horsepower of 2,600 are so arranged that any one of them may be repaired in the flight.
 The estimated cruising speed of the Santos Dumont is 136 miles an hour, it's maximum flying radi- us is l,990 miles.

Bulk Has Come From Free
Market in London.
Gain Continues.
BY CLAUDE A. JAEGER,
Associated Press Financial Editor,

NEW YORK. April 9.-The Midas
touch which Uncle Sam seems to
have acquired since devaluation Of
the dollar has brought well over
$500, o,o00, 900 in monetary gold to the
United States.
The amount of metal imported
since the dollar was oevalued to
l55/2l grains January 81 is con-
tinuing and rapidly approaching the
$700, 900, which would be more
yellow metal than the entire none
tary gold reserve Of any single coun-
try save the United States, France,
England or Spain.
The bulk of this gold has come
from England and. although the Lon
don gold price has been holding for
some time within 25 or 30 cents Of
the American gold price of $35 an
ounce, there still seems to be suf-
flcient profit in the operation to
prompt foreign exchange operators to
buy gold in London and sell it to the
United States Treasury.
Although most of the gold has come
from London, it has evidently repre-
sented metal which had been shipped
to that free market from the conti-
nent Of Europe, or from the new pro-
duction of the South African mines.
While this huge flow of gold from
London to New York has been in
progress the Bank of England's gold
reserve has actually increased a little.
During February and March gold
imports at New York approximated
$6l0,000,000. of which S363, 3,O0O, 900
came from England, Sl25, 1000, 900 from
France and SGT 100000 from Holland.
How long the movement may con-
tinue remains conjectural. With a
favorable balance of payments and
American lending abroad checked. it
might go on at slackened pace, ex-
change authorities say, indefinitely.
1t might be checked, however, by
some highly inflationary move in the
United States which would impair
confidence in the dollar, and cause it
to fall to a substantial discount from
its new parity. In that case the
Treasury might be disposed to ex-
port gold.
