They are glad to be sent to a penal institution where they know they will get their three meals a day and where they have notining to do," he declared "Most lawyers are satisfied with getting acquittals and, incidentally, their fees, and when they get both they think that they are a great success," he continued. "If there 15 any one in this room who can bring about appreciable decrease in crime among young people he will be a far greater. contributor to human welfare and progress than all the lawyers who get acquittals."

"It's bad taste." Junk Jewels Bad Taste. Bad taste, too, she said, are the "junk imitations; jewels" that aren't even good the gaudy, flimsy silk dresses, the bright gloves, bespangled evening dresses and flowered hats. "And yet you wear them," she said, "and we sell them to you because you want them. There are certain things we know will be bought by working girls and they are the things you shouldn't have.

That the waiving of trial by jury should be allowed to offenders in Federal courts was the contention of Assistant U. S. Attorney Herbert Kellogg, who asserted that the usefulness and dignity of the courts is greatly impaired by overcrowding.

He concluded by reading a part of the bill now pending in Congress which would allow such waiving and explained that the measure is Col. Francis G. Caffey, former U. S. Attorney, stated that only about one-third of the time now required would be needed if criminals were permitted to waive trial by jury, that one-half of the time of judges employed on criminal cases would be conserved, and $30,000 saving a year would be effected.

Many States that are already using the method of waiving the trial by jury, Colonel Caffey said, find it most satisfactory.
