 Of Experiences aS Juror

The trials and tribulations of the woman jury woman and the vag- aries of the legal mind were ably presented last night by Mrs. Thomas Hartley, of Hamden, who addressed the Junior League following a dinner meeting at the Elton.
 A speaker of salty wit and re- markable ability, who is becoming 8 favorite speaker of local clubs, Mrs. Hartley told the League of her experiences as both jury woman and witness in Connecticut courts over a score of years.
 Her experiences, while being chal- lenged as a juror, brought forth the best of the speakers eloquent humor. VarianceS between the prosSic legal mind and the frightened and con- fused 1ayman were so drolly related each illustration proved 8 better rib-tickler than its predecessor.
 Mrs. Hartley warned her audience, if ever called as jurors, to smile all the time since she had once been labeled a "purtanical prude" because she had presented serious mien to the court. She also warned that the juor must arrive in court armored with much fortitude and confidence, since jurists express al- most entire negation, pointing out every argument offered is considered either irrelevant or inconsistent"

Association
 TOPIGce Nurses M Positions

Speaking before the Waterbury Hospital Alumnae Association last night, Mrs. Helen M. Cullen, R. N, executive secretary of the Oonnecti- cut State Nurses Association, de- clared that the American Nurses association, organized last May, is providing a professional counseling and placement service for all regis tered nurses in the state.
 The four objectives of the current program of this group, she said, are:
 First, to advance educational standards for nursing; second, to protect the interest of the nursing profession; third, to keep nurses informed as to trends in nursing; and fourth, to cooperate with state and national organizations in pro- tecting nurses interests.
 The association is striving, Miss Cullen said, to launch program to find positions for nurses. Pointing out that there has been widespread dislocation of nurses because of the war, she said one third of all active nurses went into service and that thousands of retired or inactive nurses entered active ranks again.
 Wherever possible the association will aim to place unrses locally. The national office will act as Q national referral agency for nurses and posi- tion not handled on state or local level.
 The association also recognizes the need, the speaker explained, of placing the nurse in the right po- sition, that she may serve at the level of her greatest capacity and contribute to her professional satis- faction and advancement.
 An intensive public relations pro gram to give the membership more information on the activities of thu
 association and to give the public more awareness of the nursing pro. fession, is another project sponsored this year by the state association. The spring meeting of the statt association will probably be helC here on May g at which time thu members will decide on whether tt establish districts in the association Miss Bernice Krause, president oi
 the alumnae group in Waterbury presided during the meeting and in- troduced the speaker.

Lady Nearly ChOked
While Lying In Bed
Due To Stomach Gas

One lady said few days ago that
she used to be afraid to go to bed
at night. She was swollen with
stomach gas, which always got
worse when she went to bed, and
the gas would rise up in her throat
after she lay down and would nearly
choke her. She couldn't lie flat. Had
to prop herself upon pillows. Re-
Gently this lady got ERB-HELP and
now says gas is gone, stomach feels
fine, bowels are regular and she can
60 to bed and sleep soundly.
ERB-HELP contains IL Great
Herbs: they cleanse bowels, clear
gas from stomach, act On sluggish
liver and kidneys. Miserable people
soon feel different all over. So don't
go on suffering! Get ERB-HELP.
