We have to admit that an American jury would have done the same thing, probably; and that only an English or a German jury would have shown more regard for a man's life. To us, it's another argument for tillowing women to sit on juries, especially where beautiful women are the defendants.

Nicholas Yannantuono, Bleecker "Battleships, Infantry and the Next War," you say "Battleships won the battle of Jutland, and that battle decided the war. British battleship superiority beat the German navy," etc." Perhaps you recall that the battle of Jutland was fought already on May 30 and 31, 1916. Who lost the most tonnage, and who left first, the British or the Germans? That battle did not decide the war. The war lasted two and one-half years longer, and I certainly give the American Infantry credit for stopping it in 1918.

Also "German submarines did not sink even one of our transports bound for France with you say, I suppose German submarines didn't sink the Lusitania, either. JOHN DROEGE. ONE MAN CAR O. K.D. Manhattan: George R.

Van Namee of the public service commission finds "after careful consideration" that one-man surface cars in Yonkers and elsewhere are about the last word in efficiency, justice, reason and safety. Sure! The companies like the one-man car, so why worry about the public, which hates it and disapproves of it as unsafe and as helping to swell the roll of the unemployed. CONDUCTOR.

rent halls for musicals, baptisms, weddings, funerals, etc. A church tax would net the state some $31,000,000. This additional revenue would enable the tax collector to make a reduction of 9.25 per cent, on the assessment of living quarters, and would reduee rents proportionately.

Inside efficiency and beauty are two things these rapid-fire critics of architecture always forget to weigh, and they are the most important factors in a building's success.
