WOMEN AS JURORS
Hy CECELIA P. IJASS
(Attorney- nt-Law)
TiriTlI political enfranchisement for nil women throufihout tho country as
it bright and immediate prospect, it Is but natural to let our thoughts
run ahead to tho morrow nnd think nf some of tho problems with which
women will ho brought faco to fncc.
Ono of the&c problems, and one which has already been much discussed,
Is that of women acting as Jurors. The
granting of suffrago docs not auto
matically mako women llablo to Jury
service, but a bill providing for It
must bo passed by tho Ktato Legisla
ture. Women In somo of tho western
States nro llablo to Jury service, and
It has proved a success.
In ancient Kngland, whoso laws
have to a great extent been ndoptcd
by tho States, thcro wcro no courts
held at fixed places, nnd tho Judges,'
after finishing tho business of one
county, moved to another. This gave
rleo to tho custom of picking "twelve
men strong and truo" from the county
whore tho Injury complained of had
urlscn to "try tho case well nnd truly,"
for these men wcro supposed to be
acquainted with tho details ot tho
case. Now, however, though tho Jur
ors chosen must ho absolutely unfa
miliar with the rauso of action, only
men of tho county whero tho Injury
complained ot took placo can act as
Jurors.
Even In old Kngland thero was
such a thing as women Jurors. Whero
Whu Don't We
Send Them Com?
First. France lias no mills to
grind corn into meal.
Second. The French house
wife's range is not lmilt for bak
ing and corn bread must be baked
at home. Besides, the wife of the
poiltt would not know what to do
with cornmcal if she had it.
Third. And nqw is no time to
try to overcome all these ob
stacles. The French have trou
bles enough!
THEREFORE TOMORROW IS
WHEATLESS DAY. Please do
not forget it.

nvery ono who sleeps out In winter
has his favorite manner of making his
bed. One llko tho so-called "Klondyke
bed." another what Is known as the
"camper's bed."
Whatever tho "make," thcro Is one
principle to be kept In mind the cloth
ing must como closely about you nt
tho sides, nbovo an well as below, so
that your feet will bo fully protected
and no cold air find Its way down about
your shoulders. "
The ordinary arrangement of pillows
Is by no means a good one for pro
tecting the shoulders. An open space
Is almost suro to form between tho pil
lows, the bed clothing nnd the shoulders,
nllowlng tho cold wind to blow down
your back a ueciueuiy uncomiormuio
sensation.
To avoid this, arrange tlio pillows In
tho shape of n narrow V, with tho apex
nt the head of tho bed, and the other
ends reaching down underneath the
clothing.
Then place your head upon tho apox
of tho V, with ono shoulder between tho
pillows. Then let tho covers ll closely
duwn upon tho sides and no air tpaco
can form. This nrrangement has the
devised for tho purpose, but best Is
form of cowl or lailinet that furnishes
n continuous covering from the crown
of the head to the waist.
The warm breath passing through tho
nose makes that organ less susceptible
to cold than other parts of tho body.
Still, If you think you require a covering
for tho nose, bo careful not to use any
thing that will Interfero with breathing
fresh air. As a protection for the nose

forcmntron. So wo havo a precedent for women acting as Jurors.
Tliero aro three arguments which nro chiefly raised by thoso who cannot
conceive of a woman acting in this capacity.
Tho first Is that a woman will not rcallzo tlio seriousness of tho slum- United States Food Administration.
tlon in which sho Is placed, that sho will form lior opinions recklessly and
.let her sympathies run away with her. Wo must not forget that before "A'5TAlrC,, OUT

fully and according to tho ovidenco produced before it. It has never been
vhnwn that women placo less valuo upon an oath than men do. Furthermore, 1
tho dignity and sanctity of a courtroom la sufllclcnt.to suppress all frivolity' In
a person. Particularly whero a woman Is Involved In a case tihould It never
bo said that a woman Juror will bo sympathetic, for there can bo no more
severe, and sometimes unjust, critic of one woman than another woman. To
tho answer that a woman Juror might bo predisposed toward a handsome
man, tho sarao ruio applies to an nil-man Jury whero a pretty woman Is In
volved; whereas a combination of men nnd women In a Jury would tend to
noutrnllzo tho sympathies and prejudices of both ecxcs nnd tend to a decision
which would meet tho circumstances of the particular caso and bring about a
decision wherein Justice would bo done and not miscarried.
1 Tho second point raised is that women nro not capablo enough for work
' of this kind. Jurymen aro drawn from tho rank and Hie of our citizenry,
from tho most brilliant and successful business and professional men, as well
as tho two-dollar-a-day laborer. Kacli la representative ot his class. The
women of each class aro on an equal plane with tho mon of their respective
classes. If the' men nro capable, so aro the women. Especially Is this true
sinco women In over-increasing numbers nro entering tho fields of labor, busi
ness and the professions.
Tho third objection raised Is perhaps the one most deserving of attention.
This is tho cmestlon of a woman's giving up tho necessary time to Jury

also thoso women who can bo spared from their homes without hardship.
There only remains women who may bo Ul or who havo minor children at
homo who cannot bo left without tho mother's enre. Thoso placed m such a
position can at all times bo excused upon explaining tho circumstances to tho
presiding Judge. Tho right to bo relieved from serving ror proper reason
has always been accorded the men, so that it cannot bo said that womtm will
bo granted favors on account of their sex.
The Btato Federation of Women's Clubs of Now Tori; and tno women's
Law Assoclatlen of New York are urging tho passage of a bill in Albany for
Jury service for women, nnd there Is every likelihood that, their rcrjucst will
bo granted.

Hoover has garrotcd tho mainstay of
this day wo celebrate, Shrove Tuesday,
In this wise:
Like most "days," food plays a largo
part In Its proper and mete observance,
and "mete" cannot bo misspelled as
"meat," becauso Hoover says "there
ain't none." Tlio old-timers who started
this festival day business seemed to
think It could never bo celebrated right
without largo quantities of food. And
Shrovo Tuesday was not nny exception
to the rule.
nut today It Is a different story. Wo
like to follow old observances and cus
toms, but when it comes to tha dietary
end of It we havo the will but not tho
culslno. For example, the main stunt
on Shrovo Tuesday Is Jo eat pancakes,
but It's wheatless tlmo of year now and
wo can't get 'em.
Salted meat nnd eggs was another
part of the ceremony In Kngland, but
meat and eggs are scarco articles theso
days, as is tho old 1'ennsylvanlan sam
ple df culinary art known as tho "fast
nacht'," which was nothing more nor less
than a doughnut without tne nolo ana
lots of fats, and wo must conservo on
fats, says Mr. Hoover,
Then, too, "fastnacht" Is German, and
food that Is German must never pass
mine I"
Of course, It Is a religious festival
mainly and takes Its namo from tho
meaning of tho word "shrine," which Is
to "confess." It Is the threshold of
Lent In this courltry one of the most
Interesting events connected with the
day Is the Mardl Gras In New Orleans,.
winch is a gala aRair or masits and tne
Jlght fantastic. It means "Fat Tues
day" there we have "fats" again, which
lets us out this year.
In fact, the receipt given as the proper
method of making the pancake Is enough
to give one pause. Listen to this:
Three eggs a cupful of sifted wheat
flour, one and a half cupfuls ot sweet
milk, served four stories high, with
Jain or Jelly or maple syrup, melted
butter epread between the layers and
sprinkled with powdered sugar."
