In the third, the courts, she should be accorded the privilege and the right to use her influence for good. nnd she should welcome the duty to serve in any capacity thnt she may be culled. Among the .most important of which is that of service upon the Jury." Why Exclude Women? In Illinois, those ineligible for jury service at present are minors, aliens. criminals, defectives and women. Women may vote, may hold offiee, may sue and be sued and are engaged in the same pursuits as men., Why should they be excluded from the jury box?

The following points may be of interest: Women usually have more time than men to serve on juries. and often would be able to supply the viewpoint of the very desirable class of profess sional (and other) men exempt from service. Proper Exemptions There would be proper exemptions for women. Those who were ill, or who had the care of small children as well as others with legitimlte ex- cuses would not be required to serve. Service would not be required oftener than once every two or three years if that. Tho cases which are called "unflt for women to hear" usually involve other women (often young girls) who should have the comfort and protec- tion of women in the courtroom. In the case of mixed juries, proper quarters have been, and will be pro- vided insuring privacy for the women.
