Lack of familiarity may have given you a distorted view of court-room procedure, and a fear or dis-like of courts in general. Jury duty gives you a new insight into the reasons for the many happen-ings of the courtroom which can-not fail to send you home a better citizen. There are three kinds of juries on which you might be called to serve: The grand jury's function is to hear complaints of the commission of an offense and to inquire, by aid of testimony presented by the dis-trict attorney, whether there are "prima facie," that is, "at first view," grounds for criminal pros-ecution. It functions, therefore sole-ly in criminal .c.ou.rts. IN A FEW states the grand jury may be done away with, even in murder cases, and the charges may thus be brought by the prosecutor, to avoid delays incident to grand jury hearings. A trial jury, petit jury or com-mon jury is used in all cases except when the accused elects to be tried by the court or is charged with only a "petty offense." It functions only after the grand jury has returned an indictment against the accused. Witnesses are presented both by the prosecuting officer in the behalf of the state or commonwealth and by the attorney for the defendant. THE PETIT or common jury is employed in civil cases, except where the issue is one of such a nature that the case may be de-cided by the court (judge) without a jury. The procedure is much the same as in a criminal case, except that the district or state's attorney has no connection with it. Private citizens, and not the state or com-monwealth, are the prosecutors in a civil suit, except where the state has a civil interest, as in a tax case, for example. A coroner's jury is impaneled by the coroner to help decide facts surrounding death of one or more persons when there is cause to believe that death may have re-sulted from a criminal act. The coroner acts as presiding judge, has the power to call witnesses and may place suspected persons under bond to await grand jury action. This mrticl.

Beyond Comparison IN THIS GOLDEN jubilee year Connie Mack isn't enjoy-ing too much with his Athletics, he has at least struck the smartest note in the manner ol selecting e teams. His embattled ball club may not be celebrating Connie's 50th year at the helm In the s proper manner, s but then Connie s isn't doing any of j the pitching or the hitting. i In attempting to get a deep back-ground on e stars from the fa-mous veteran, we ran into this rebut-Grantla- Rice. "I don't believe in picking out-standing stars except for every 10 or maybe 20 years. There can be no such thing as the greatest star over a period of 40 or 50 years. This goes for pitchers and hitters. It also goes for all football players and football teams. I'd say that a rank-ing every 10 years would be fair-est. There are too many changes that take place changes in meth-ods of play, changes in equipment that must be considered." Mr. Mack happens to be 100 per cent right. Who, for ex-ample, could set Young, John-son, Alexander and Mathew-so- n against the best pitchers of today? There is no possible basis for any comparison. The rs threw a dead ball which could be fuzzed, emer-ie- d, watered, doctored and otherwise maltreated to such an extent that any number of odd things could happen. Batters couldn't afford the Babe Ruth blast, the Ted Williams swing or the clout that 90 per cent of the players use today. Ty Cobb might easily have been one of the best of all homerun hitters, using the modern - system of swinging full tilt. Babe Ruth might have batted over .400 many times by choking up his bat and going for singles. Cobb broke loose once in St. Louis and hit five home runs in two days. Many of Ruth's strike-out- s would have been singles and doubles with a shorter swing. Baseball has become an entirely different game from what it was from 1890 to 1920. Old-tim- e pitchers might eas- - ily have had as much trouble winning 20 games today as they had in winning 35 or 40 over 30 years ago. It doesn't seem possible now that Babe Ruth came on as a slugger 31 years ago. Even at that time Ty Cobb said one day, shortly after the homerun outburst opened "The old game is gone. The day of the pitcher and the base runner is over." Many modern pitchers might have been winners back in other and entirely different years the Fellers, the Lemons, the Sains, etc. But this is some-thing no one can ever prove. Dizzy Dean was the last winner back hi 1934, a matter of 16 years away. ... Same in Football The same periods of comparison belong to football. No e stars can involve both the year and the era fol-lowing 1905. The two games from 1870 to 1905, from 1906 to 1950 are nothing alike. In the brave days of old, 11 men often played the entire game. Substitutes rarely got to play. Seventy-minut- e men were common. Later men were not unusual. Today the football athlete is a member of a large platoon. Or rather two platoons. Leading squads have an offensive team and a defensive team. Few football players, working on both offense and defense, can last 50 minutes. So there is no way to compare a football player, such as Willie Heston of Michigan, with a mod-ern back. Heston was probably the finest ball carrier of all time. But he came before the passing game arrived. Heston weighed 190 pounds and could beat Archie Hahn, national sprint champion, for 50 yards. He once jumped over Walter Eckersal, in the safety po-sition. They are always tinkering with football rules. No two dec-ades are alike. It would be impossible to compare players of the 1910-192- 0 period with players of the 1940-195- 0 period. In the same way it is impossible to compare Jones, Hagen and Sara-ze-from 1920 to 1930 with Hogan, Nelson and Snead. The implements are different. For example, smart golfers figure the modern wedge saves from two to three strokes a round. They fig-ure it is worth at least 10 strokes in a 72 hole test. Certainly the finely tempered steel shaft is a big modern aid. In the old days a pro needed his own clubs. Now he can walk into a shop and pick ujj a new set before his round and play as rlL ZErdsswdrd puzzle 1 BMTAMAr3APEriJ S O W E ADORE ACROSS DOWN 13..LetterC Zillilii!- - Mi 1. Slopped 15.

The heavy gales practically ruined the mill as a use-ful farm ap-- I pliance, a fact 3'Minilte which was, tuaUy- - unimPor- - I tant, as Silas had installed town water three years before. But it gave him the idea nevertheless; it was either a matter of paying to have the thing repaired, or sell it, and as Si was a hard-shelle- d old New England Yankee of the first water, the idea of paying for any-thing went against the grain. He waited a month and then dropped over to his neighbor, Asa Gardeners. "How's that?" said Asa, regard-ing Si in astonishment. "Sell the town that rickety old windmill? Sell it? Why, you blasted old highway robber! It's a wonder we ain't got out an injunction agin you long ago fer defacin' the landscape." Si reddened to his ears. "Rickety old windmill! You callin' my windmill rickety? Dang you, Ase, you're plumb onromantlo and onsentimental." "It's time it was torn down and drug off then," said Asa. "It's clut-tering up the scenery." The next day Si went down town and tackled other prominent citi- - "How's that?" said Asa,, re-garding Si in astonishment. "Sell the town that rickety old windmill?" zens. But he was too late. Asa Gardener had, apparently, thought Si's idea about the best joke he'd heard in years, and had proceeded to let every one in on it. Worst of all, Mapleridge's citizenry saw eye to eye with the selectman. They were easily amused. Si came home in a rage. He was serious in his idea about erecting the windmill on the village green. Why, they were even talk-ing about getting a court order to make him tear it down. If they succeeded it would cost him some money. The thought was griping. It is necessary to note that coincidence played a big part in the events that transpired during the next week. For it was coinci-dence, most assuredly, that caused J. Allan Brown, philanthropist, public-spirite- d citizen of Boston, Mass., to pen the letter that set all Mapleridge agog. The letter was directed to S. Kent. He opened it in the postoffice, with half a dozen curious citizens standing idly by. Within an hour every resi-dent of Mapleridge knew that the great J. Allen Brown had spotted Si Kent's windmill, and wanted to buy it for $1500 to add to a collection of American relics be was making. TT" TOOK MAPLERIDGE about a half day to grasp the signifi-cance of all this, and then things began to happen. A special town meeting was held. Speeches were made to the effect that Si Kent's windmill was certainly a landmark and it would be a shame to have it moved off to some museum. Why, Si himself had suggested erecting it on the village green. A committee was appointed to see Si the very next morning. "What?" said Si. "Give you My windmill? After the way you talked? Dang you, get offin my property! Git offin it afore I have you throwed off!" The committee withdrew to the sidewalk and consulted. Presently they returned. Bert Englewood, a lawyer who was con-sidered quite an orator, made a speech. He wound up by offering $2000 cash for the windmill, and Si weakened. Triumphantly the committee with-drew and Si went back into his house. He closed the door and be-gan to laugh, which was almost a phenomenon. Sara, his wife, looked at him in astonishement, and Si said: "It's nothing, Sara, nothin'. Only it's a lucky thing fer me them folks didn't insist on me showin' 'em that letter from J. Allen. Why, there wan't nothin' on it but a lot of scrib-bli- n, I done mysef."

BROADWAY AND MAIN STREET 11 Charlie, Delancey Slreet Machiavelli, Sets a Trap By BILLY ROSE My Uncle Charlie is a man like this: Do him a favor and you've lot-- flr are stuck with a friend for life. For instance . . . Forty years ago when Charlie married my Aunt Frieda and moved a flat on Allen street, things were so tough that they seldom knew ere their next boiled potato was coming from, and the couple would lv gone hungry many a night had it not been for a kindly baker on De-- cey street named Schultz who occasionally slipped them a bag of stale when my uncle got a Job r began bringing home a fairish l ,6 kept up his friendship 'ii Z! Shultz' and to this day if my ? "l so much as ?s an onion roll. ttm another bak-- r be'U shout, You.re the hand once was feedi-ng us!" "upie of J1.0 ago, Charlie 1. ' Charlie asked to borrow his keys. "Maybe with the cellar key," he said, "I could get into Dunkel-meyer- 's basement?" "On this block," said Schultz, "the locks are mostly the same. But what business you got in his basement?" "It came to me a thought," said my uncle, "but don't worry. I'll be delicate like a ladyfinger." Thai night happened to be Saturday and Delancey street the Champs Elysees of the East Side was with window-shopper- s, and around 10 a crowd began to mob Dunkelmeyer's window. And small wonder two mica were nibbling at the groom on top of a seven-laye- r wedding cake, while a third peeped in shy testacy from be-hind the bride's wedding dress. When the gogglers were 10 deep, Charlie elbowed his way to the window. "Is on account Dunkel-meye- r has his mixing machines in the cellar," he explained to the crowd. "In them the mice are building nests." Well, that did it, and a few days later when my uncle breezed into his friend's shop, the Dutchman kissed him on both cheeks. "Dunkelmeyer is kaput," he said. "It wasn't ethics, but it brought back the customers." "Up-to-da- public relations," said Charley modestly. "How you drilled a hole from the cellar up to Dunkelmeyer's win-dow 1 can understand," said Schultz. "but where did you get the mice in such a hurry?" "Simple," said my uncle. "1 set a cage-tra- p in your pantry next to the cheese strudeL" "What you're needing to stop this my Un-cle Charlie told his friend one day, "is public relations." "Won't do no good," said Schultz. "Even my private rela-tions are buying from Dunkel-meyer." "Then advertise," said Charlie. "I am recommending Battstein, Bartstein, Durstein and pardon the expression Osborn." "Four fellas for one job?" said the old baker. "Who could afford it?" "Besides, you should fix up your window. For instance, lay out the bagels like an American flag." "Waste of time," said Schultz. "but I got another idea. This Dun-kelmeyer is using machines to mix his dough and maybe your wife, Frieda, could talk it around that on his rolls he is sprinkling metal filings instead of poppy seeds" "Too big a risk," said my uncle. "Dunkelmeyer could answer back that there is fingernails in your pumpernickel." "So what?" said Schultz. "Bet-ter a fingernail than nuts and bolts."
