He, also, will have the oppor-

little stale even now. With his

ence there is reason to feel that
Mr.. Dewey is fully aware Of the
strength OF his position and will
miss none Of these opportunities. In
particular, hs will not miss the op-
portunity OF making 1t impossible
for Mr.. Willkie to do anything ex-
cept support his candidacy.
If Mr.. Willkie wants to point out
that the party and its candidate
have adopted the beliefs which I
entertain" he will be entitled to do
so-and no one, except, perhaps, the
few isolation newspapers and Gerald

BY FREDERIC ]. HAsKIN.

@. Why are there always twelve
persons on q jury?-E. M. z.
A. The early juries were not uni
form as to number, but usually
IL of those chosen had to agree.
This number is believed to be q
product Of Jewish and Christian
mysticism. The Holy Ghost was sup
posed to hover near IL men under
oath. There were IL tribes, II patri-
archs and IL Apostles.
Q. How much territory did Ger
many lose in the last war?-O. r. B.
A. AS a result of the First World
War Germany lost territory equal
to one-eighth of its area, or about
27,275 square miles.
@. What is the origin Of the
fifth" quart?-P. r. w.
A. The origin of the "fifth" quart
goes back to England, where 1t was
the traditional package and referred
to five to a gallon. It is not . quart
and was never recognized as a
quart.
@. What famous author wrote
only one novel, published after his
death?-F. A. j.
A. Samuel Butler, 1835-1902. His
only novel, "The Way Of AL Flesh, ;"
though written between 1878 and
1885, was not published until after
his death.
9. Was Joseph an old man when
he took Mary for his wife?-E. L. H.
A. Hastings says there is no his
torical basis for the tradition that
Joseph was in his ESD year and Mary
In her 18th, but it is generally
understood that Joseph was con-
siderably older than Mary.
G. How long did it take to COM
plete the Oxford English Diction-
ary?-M. g. w.
A. Seventy years. The plan of the
dictionary was conceived in 1858 and
1t was not completed until 1928. The
completeness of the work is illus
trated by the fact that 10000 words
are devoted to the word "set."
@. In what South American city
Is the bronze statue of a newsboy?
u. L. G.
A. Rio de Janeiro. It was erected
by one OF the city's newspapers.
@. What is the origin Of paper
money?-O. r.
A. Its use in western civilization
is generally traced to the British
goldsmiths. They accepted gold for
safekeeping and gave receipts which
merchants found convenient to pass
back and forth in payment of obl-
cations.
