lllK the Hi'tlt le as follow;
"There has been tome uuovtlon
whether the women jmois would not
be too xyiupathctic and let criminals

Mrs. Itrown then called our atten
tion to the following:
"However, in the preliminary se
lection of jurors for these cases.
many women were excused because
they were opposed to capital Minlsh
nient and would Hlirinir from sending
to the chair another mother's son. It
is evident that Kenerallwitions cannot
I be made as to women Jurors any mure
'than as to men Jurors, so far as leni

" TarticiDation of women in jury
service, both on the petit Juries nnd
on the grand Juries, ma::e for intelll-
frent interest in the courts. 1 he com
munity has not understood conditions
in the past .and because of that Inef
ficiency, delay and injustice have crept
into our Judicial system. I am confi
dent that the participation of women
in jury service Is an essential step
toward the realization of tha'. univer
sal justice which is one of the noblest
aspirations of our republic.

Miss Virginia Roderick, flie new
editor of The Woman Citizen, is rath
er skeptical of the Ohio lawyer's con
clusions n KardinK the hard-hcarted-ness
of women in general.
"I don't think Its true," she said,
"that women are always merciless on
juries. I do think they are very con
scientious and intelligent In dealing
with such serious matters.-
When the women of the l'nited
States received the vote last yr the
l: v-s of Ohio made all electors igible
for i-.irv Rei-vii-e. Women should be
made use of on Juries because there
iby the chances of getting a good jury
xre doubled."

ECONOMIC DEPRESSION
WASH1XOTON, D. C, June 22. (I.
N". S. ) A possible means of relieving
the economic depression of Chile, due
to the slumping of the nitrate mark
ets of the world following tho war, Is
now under consideration by the I'hil
ean Government, according to reports
here today. This project, which con
templates the building up of coal

struction of ft i-ailron.T across the

c-nsy access cnuld lie had from Central
Chile to Ruenos Aires nnd Rabia
Rlanca, and the chronic shortage of
coal and lumber In Argentina could
lie alleviated by drawing upon the sur

The consumption of coal In Argen

LONDON. June 2-'. ft. N. S.)
There will be wonderful developments
in Kngland shortly In the service of ulr
taxicabs.
Mure than twenty landing grounds,
or air "parages," are now available
throilghout the country for Journeys
by aircraft, and a Inachine may be
hired to carry a pilot and two pas
sengers for $35 an hour.
As the particular sort of aeroplane
that is used for this purpone moves lit
an average rate of ninety miles an
hour, it means that ".super taxi"
transport through the air costs about
twenty four cents a mile.
Improved aircraft are nearlng com-
pletion for hire. They will carry four
passengers Instead of two for the same j
expenditure of power and at the same 1
rate of hiring-. This will mean that
individually, if a party of four hire a
machine for a rapid journey, the cost
will come down to not more than
twelve cents per mile.
England is ijromised an organiza
tion of the new "air cabs" throughout
the country, a certain number being
garaged, ready for instant hire, In

" THE
USCO TREAD
Hart is tha U. S. Unco Tread, with a
long -established standard of service
among motorists who have an eye to
value, as well as to price. While sell
ing for less than the other tires in tha
U. S. Fabric line, the Usco has earned
a reputation for quality and depend
able economy which is not exceeded by
any tire in its class.
EVERY once in a while you hear a motorist say as he
kicks a rear tire with an admiring foot, "there's e lucky
tire 1 " Give him a chance and he'll tell you all about it.
And then you'll find that what he calls "luck" is simply his
first experience with a qualify standard tire.

It all comes to this buy a U. S. Tire anywhere
in this country and you get definite, predictable
value for your money no matter what weight car
you drive.
The man who has been guessing his way through
"overstocks," "discontinued lines," "job lots" and the
like, will find it refreshing to talk with the local U. S.
' Tire dealer who is concentrating on a full, com
pletely sized line of U. S. Tires.
- For the first time he will hear some straight quality
tire tacts and get the difference
between chance and certainty in
tire buying.
The U. S. Tires he sees in stock are
fresh, live tires. They come direct to the
dealer from his neighboring Factory
Branch.
There are 92 of these Branches estab
lished and maintained by the U. S. Tire
makers.
