BOSTON. Dec. 10.-Judge EmmOns
chairman of the police commission, ad-
vises women TO carry revolvers and
shoot II assaulted. So many hold-ups
have occurred here recently. women be-
ing the victims invariably. that they are
much alarmed. Judge Emmons says:
Let women take somebody with them
when they go out at night or else carry
revOlvers and shoot II assaulted. The
law protects - woman who defends her
self from dahgerol:s assaults.
THE popular idea that there is some
law against a peaceable citizen carrying
a concealed weapon is a mistake.
There is no such law. and unless 4
woman IS more afraid of a pistol than
she is Of a highwayma let her arm her
self 1t is better for her to have a re-
yOlver IN her hand TO defend herself
against a criminal than a purse dangling
at her wrist or sticking out from her
pocket 70 tempt him.

have helped to build up their shipbuild-

and recommend legislation for the de-

all the public interests concerned, some
of the grounds Of the present differences
and disputes would be removed. If the
proposed commission should include also
a proper representation from the two
branches Of Congress, SO that the IN
vestigation could readily cover matters
that are pertinent from the Legislative
point of view. the chances for the aGop-
ton of a definite and enduring policy

ONLY NINE MORE DAYS
FOR THE WORD CONTEST
Unabated Interest in Task
Set by The Times.
ALLURING PRIZE OF 500
Late Corners Have Just as Good a
Chance to Win It as the
Early Birds.

There are only nine more days in
which to submit answers in the word
contest. The contest positively closes
at IL o'clock Saturday night December
10. If you have not completed your
list Of words you should finish 1t and
send il as soon as possible, If you have
not commenced to make a list yet, you
have plenty of time to get one up and
submit il before the contest closes.
Those who have already sent in answers
have no more assurance Of having the
best solutions than those who will send
solutions later. The last answer, has
as good a chance of winning a prize as
the first or any intermediate solution.
Winning depends sOlelv upon the abil-
ity Of the contestants to exercise the
best ingenuity in utilizing the letters
in the puzzle chart, and if you possess
that ingenuity. you Will win. whether
you sent in your answer. the first day
or submit it the last. If the answers
which have been or viii be submitted
by others are from contestants with
less ingenuity than you possess. then
their solutions are not as good as the
one you might make.
Chance to Win 500.
And. if you neglect the opportunity to
submit yours. you are losing an op-
portunity to win 800. II you do not
win, you are nothing out. as the amount
required with each solution is applied TO
one subscription to The Times; and you
viii have the satisfaction Of knowing
that you nave not neglected an oppor-
tunity which does not come very fire.
quently.
The last days of the contest naturally
bring an increase in the number of an
swers, and also in the number OF in
quiries from those who are still at work.
The greater portion of these inquiries
relates to points which have already
been referred to in The Times Wheth-
er the letters ask for information, or
refer to the accompanying solutions, all
those who have become interested in
the proposition are unanimous in say
ing that it is the most fascinating and
instructive puzzle they have ever work
ed on. An F Street subscriber writes:
Entertaining and Instructive.
This is my fifth list. and I am will
ing to try again IL I thought it Ices
sary. The newsboy says he thinks I
surely ought TO win the prize after
working so hard. But If I do not, please
run another contest Of the same kind,
as I have found this one both enter
tanning and instructive"
A Postohice clerk writes to ask if the
plurals of letters for words Ike "a s. "
'p's." etc, will be admitted AS there
are no apostrophes in the chart, it Is
evident that they will not be.
For the benefit Of those who may
have overlooked the several announce
ments that The Sunday Times of No
vember % contained an exhaustive ar
| ticle upon the admissibility Of certain
words, The Times viii repeat that copies
of that issue may still be obtained at

Congress has made it IT, duty Of the
Department of Commerce and Labor to

lions now occupied by the United States

attention. The extent TO which such
frauds are successfully practiced IN or
der to evade the immigration laws shows
clearly the need of legislation 70 safe

obtaining citizenship, and to prevent the
fraudulent use of certificates OF natur-
alization.
Bureau of Standards.
The Bureau of Standards is intrusted
with the care and use of the national
standards of measure Standards and
measuring apparatus submitted for veri-
locations are critically examined for
faulty construction. Manufacturers
keenly appreciate unbiased criticism of
their instruments. and have been quick
to adopt improved designs to increase
accuracy. Direct and permanent i'm
prOvements in this large class of instru-
ments have resulted. In furnishing the
sealers of weights and measures
throughout the country with accurately
compared standards of lengt IS, mass,
and capacity, and in designing a set
of model weights for purposes Of com
parison, the bureau has provided means
by which the weights and measures
used in the entire wholesale and retail
trade of the United States will be
placed upon a basis of uniformity and
precision hitherto lacking.
Future of the Department.
In concluding his report the Secretary
says:
THE department deals with the great
concerns of commercial and industrial
life. To be Of service to these interests
it must have their hearty cooperation
and support. Il must be a department
of business. II must be progressive. but
at the same time conservative. I must
not deviate in its course from the pstn-
way of justice. strict and impartial. II
must be nOnpartisan in the highest and
broadest sense. It must recognize no
distinction, as between large and small
interests. as between the aff1uent OF
powerful and the humblest citizen. IL II
attempts to occupy a field that properly
belongs to private endeavor il Will IN
evltably fail to realize the high hopes
of its present well-wishers. 1t must adj
here rigidly to the lines marked out
since the foundation Of the Government
for Federal agen cies ~ executing the
will of the people. II these general
principles are made effective, l. conserva'

nainistration. 1 cannot but believe that

mercial and industrial affairs"
