Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE W. SPROWLS.
The Jury.

ONE reader wants to know II mod
~ ern psychology doesn't prove that
our jury system in court procedure is
all wrong, the idea being that "juries
are easily swayed.'
don't believe that psychology
proves any such thing. A layman
serving as talisman on jury is Just
justice as some one learned in the
law"
II 1t could be proved that learned
persons make fewer mistakes In mat
tiers of everyday judgment than un-
learned persons, the question might
be answered in the Affirmative. But
psychology has made no such dis
covery.
Plain justice is a simple matter.
Legal knowledge and procedure are
complex. The complexity of legal
procedure is a natural evolution. II
grew complex in order to give COM
mon sense a chance to determine JUS
tice. The very purpose of "the laws
delay" is to afford the opportunity
for common sense to reduce complex
ity to simplicity. That's the function
Of jury.
Suppose the jury system were abol-
ished Anything could happen. The
last trace Of respect for our legal in
stitutions would probably be lost. How
many competent juries can you think
Of that have actually made grave er-
rors in Judgment?

hearts. Obviously, South was not 60
ing to pass to North's three e-diamond
bid and If East wanted to double he
would have an opportunity to do so
at a later stage.
South naturally had intended to
bid three hearts, but when the three
diamond double came, decided that
he was willing to gamble the con-
tract out at that spot. West passed
and now North became more than
willing to gamble: he redoubled Every
one passed and three diamonds re-
doubled became the final contract.
Normally, North's redouble would
be a bad bid since he would expect
East and West to run out. However,
North knew that East and West were
of the bulldog type and never let go
once they have doubled.
West opened the deuce of clubs.
which was won by declarer's jack;
declarer now led low spade. trumped
in dummy and led a low club to his
king, trumped a second spade in
dummy and then led the queen Of
hearts and when East refused to
cover went right up with the ace, any
way. A third spade was now ruffed,
the ace of clubs cashed and the last
spade discarded from his own hand.
Dummy's fourth club was now play
ed and East discarded the king of
hearts, declarer ruffing with the eight
of diamonds.
East was now down to nothing but
trumps and when a second heart was
played ruffed with the three spot for
his first trick. He now led a low
diamond, whereupon declarer won with
the nine and led another heart, which
East ruffed with the seven spot. East
now cashed the ace Of diamonds and
declarer made the last trick with the
king, thereby fulfilling his contract
with an overtrick and scoring 1,140
points.

Bedtime Stories
Jenny Gets Her Chance.

Mrs. Skinner sometimes. Jenny be-
came somewhat discouraged, but she
didn't give up. She isn't that kind.
She long ago learned that even in the
matter of mischief patience usually
brings its reward So it proved in this
case. Mrs. Skinner, looking out Of
her doorway, saw Skinner darting
this way and that in q manner that
she thoroughly understood. He was
in the midst of a swarm of flying in
sects and was catching them. Mrs.
Skinner WIS hungry. This oppor-
tunity was too much of temptation.
She darted out to join him. Perhaps
she intended to send Skinner back
at once. Perhaps she thought the dis
tance so short that 1t would not mat
ter Anyway. she went.
Now Jenny Wren was right on hand,
watching. Mrs. Skinner hadn't seen
her or she never would have left
those eggs unguarded. Hardly was
Mrs. Skinner out Of that hole when
Jenny alighted at the entrance. She
threw a hasty glance over her shoul-
der and saw that both Skinner and
Mrs. Skinner were engaged in chas-
ing those insects. Then Jenny disap-
peared inside. A second later she was
out, and on the end Of her bill was
white egg, which she dropped on
the ground. She turned to 60 back
for another, but first looked to make
sure that the Skimmers were still oc-
cupied. She saw Mrs. Skinner re-
turning. Jenny darted around behind
the trunk of that tree just in time
Mrs Skinner didn't see her
Mrs. Skinner alighted at her door,
way and twittered happily for mo-
ment or so. Then she went in. A sec
ond later her head popped out of that
little round doorway just as Skinner
approached.
"A thief has been here!" screamed
Mrs. Skinner excitedly and in much
distress.
What do you mean?" demanded
Skinner, alighting close by.
One of our eggs has been taken!"
replied Mrs. Skinner.
You must be mistaken" said Skim
mer. Who would do such a thing?"
Come, look for YOURSELF" retorted
Mrs. Skinner, and Skinner did.
One egg was missing. Yes, sir, one
egg was missing. There was not doubt
about it. Such a scolding and such
excitement as followed, and this was
doubled when Skinner discovered
that missing egg on the ground below.
Both he and Mrs. Skinner flew down
to look it over, and. Of course, they
discovered right away the hole in 1t
made by Jenny Wren's bill.

bunchberry in many other locations,
for the birds are great distributors.
This Is why you may see the plant in
most of our wooded mountains. even
ut the altitude of 1000 feet. You will
come across the sturdy one from New
foundland to Alaska and southwark to
New Jersey. Indiana, Minnesota, Colo
RADIO and California.
Don't give the birds all the credit
for the prosperity of the bunchberry.
There is a three-way partnership,
formed centuries ago, that works with.
out interference or preferences Of part
ners. The bees, belonging to the fami.
lies Andrena and Halictus; the flies
of the woodland dells. and the blue
bottles are the ones who see to It that
the pollen Is transferred from flower
to flower. without them there would
be no berries.
Look about for the bunchberry's
neighbors, the partridge vine, twin
flower ferns, and gold thread.

A LTHOUGH the smallest men,
~ ber of the Cornus family, the
~ bunchberry manages to do its
4 \ part as efficiently as its hand
some cousin, the Towering dogwood.
Now, would you ever have thought
that these two were cousins? Look
at the first part Of their scientific
name-there is your cue.
Not over Q inches high does this
little dwarf reach up into the world.
You will find the whorl Of four to six
oval, pointed leaves that are smooth
and glossy, and viewing the world
about them at the summit Of a rather
scaly stem.
In the cool, messy woods, where so
many of natures children spend such
happy lives, doing all they can to
make the world a pleasant place to
live in, especially the woods, you come
across the flowers of the bunchberry
in May and early June. The bios

about with a thin coat that appears
like four pointed sepas. There Is a
wee calyx which is four parted, o CO.
rolla OF four spreading petals, four
stamens and one pistil. The leaves
seem to be arranged as background
or support for the proud little flower.
After the guests have made their
important call. there is much going
on in the little seed-box factory. The
flower stalk stretches up bit, and II
you inspected the bunchberry, you
would see tiny little green berries,
where the small flowers greeted you a
short time before.
Now, remember, to get the most out
of your friendship with the outdoor
folks you must know them in all
stages of growth. You have seen them
grow up, and further realize they have
an important place in the world they
are filling happily. So return TO the
places where the bunchberry greeted
you in the Spring. The green berries
have now turned scarlet. In shadowy
woods. bright colors mean a great
zeal to the birds en- route to the South.
Then, do not forget the fruit Of this
plant Is very palatable. Sample 1t

Now East raised to two spades and

YENNY WREN and Johnny Wren

nearest neighbors. 1t was mostly
Jennys doings, for Johnny
didn't really care. He was too busy to
pay much attention to neighbors of
any kind. With Jenny it was different.
She had eggs In the little house on
the trunk of a tree in Farmer Browns
dooryard, and she was about ready
to begin sitting on them. Just few
feet above, in hole in the tree, was
the nest of Skinner the Swallow.

neighbors as they are now, and I
don't mean to have them"

been the first to take possession of
that tree, and, in fact, had their nest

The Archbishop o: Canterbury

the House of Lords last night to
discuss King Edwards friendship

son. it was learned.
Although no formal action was
taken at the meeting, which was
attended mostly by ecclesiastics
with a sprinkling of laymen, the
entire situation was understood TO
have been discussed.
The talk conferred principally
upon the possibility that King Ed
ward is prepared to marry the
American divorcee if he finds a
liberal minded clergyman.
Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin
did not attend.
Disclosure thrt the Archbishop
of Canterbury, who recently
snubbed the Monarch by refusing
to attend a royal affair at when
Mrs. Simpson was a guest, had
presided at the meeting immedi-
ately gave rise to wide conjecture
and a flood of new rumors. =,

has persuaded his own clergyman
at Windsor to perform the mar
riage in event he decides to marry
Mrs. Simpson.
