A Mystery Of War
It seems odd Unit the identity of the locution of the hg gun
which threw shells Into Paris in'the time of the war has never been
definitely settled. Iteeenty a controversy-has. been waged in the
Paris newspapers in regard to the matter. It has ever been con
tended that the gun was not located within the German lines but
was secreted near Paris and was
the report when fired. This would seem to be an untenable theory
. yet it has been offered. Possibly because the gun needed to be of
well-nigh unbelievable range to be fired from within the German
lines has given rise to the conjecture in regard to it. With the hos.
tilities ended upwards of five years it might be expected with rea
son that the secret would be known long ere this.
A Belgian officer claims to have been told that the gun was
designed to throw shells into London when the Germans took
Calais. When they failed to realize on the expectation they turned
the muzzle toward Paris' to slay non-combatants, women and chil
dren. That the Germans have been so reticent in giving out infor
mation may be due to the shame felt over such methods of war
fare. They had the courage to use the gun but did not have the
courage to acknowledge responsibility for the act. So long as
the secret is kept the direct authority for firing the gun remains
hidden and therefore may avoid some censure that would become
individual, were identity placed.
It is claimed that the gun was of 8' in. calibre and was GO feet
in length. It did considerable execution hut did nothing to aid
the Germans. The more of warfare of that nature they carried on
the firmer the resistance to a race that would stoop to war on
women and children Jar from the theatre of hostilities. We can
well understand why the Germans should wish to preserve silence
as to the gun, but that does not
untenable theories.
Jury Reform Needed
The jury system of trying legal cases is so old and vital a part
) i of jurisprudence that there is natural reluctance to amend it. Yet
; j recent events suggest that the system ns now administered is not
! '. ' as conducing as it should be to the reaching of fair decisions.
'. i Stubborn jurors bend those of less determination to their will
and compel them to assent to verdicts which are contrary to their
honest judgment. Men are placed on the panel who are not of
sufficient intelligence to understand and weigh the evidence. Dis
honest jurors not infrequently are found who manifestly are not
governed by the law and the evidence in finding verdicts but are
influenced solely- by their own personal prejudices. Then, too, it
is to be feared there are some who are not unwilling to accept
bribes.
Day after day news accounts repeat cases in which the jury
system as at present conducted shows a weakness. In Pittsburgh
a few days ago a jury returned a verdict to the effect that it
"agreed to disagree", leading the presiding judge to denounce it as
a travesty on justice and to dismiss the 12 with censorious words.
There have been other wises in which verdicts were returned that
were obviously not warranted by the testimony. In an important
trial at Philadelphia the other day it is alleged that the foremai,
of the jury was hobnobbing with "fixers." In another case in that
city Thursday iv drunken juror arose in court after a verdict had
been brought in, in which he had concurred, and took exception
to it, attempting to repudiate his own part in it.
The remedy for situations like this lies in the selection of tales
men who are intelligent, sober and upright. It is gratifying thai,
bench, bar and laity are awakening to the situation. With study
given the subject a way may be found to effect the needed reform.

As to taking up much time in

five years, that is not much for a
woman to devote to- her toilet. It
is less than two years, a little more
than 3 iper cent of the total time
lived, asleep and awake.

one sleeps twenty years in sixty one
is U'lreshed by the indulgence and

what could one accomplish if one

twenty-four? The "primping," oven
if it requires forty-five minutes a
day for the desired effect lo be ob

normal woman's wishes. She has the
desire to appear to the best advan

investment, not the least feature of
which is that it contributes -to her
own contentment.

run its course, not knowing that the

that there is little danger from the
