WOMEN ARE URGED
AS GRAND JURORS

Denver. Feb. 1S.-A grand jury with
women on it is the demand that has
grown here out of the disputes and
difficulties which surrounded the work
of the last grand jury in this city
The women of Denver have decided
that they can clear up matters much
more quickly than the men have been
able to clear them.
Only the fact that state statute
debarS women from jury service pre-
vents the women from waiting upon
District Attorney Rush to demand the
right of service. To remove that law
the women have started movement
20 introduce bill of repeal In the next
legislature or, failing there, to lnltl-
ate such a measure.
Leaders in the movement declare
that, with a few Intelligent, keenly
thinking women on the grand jury,
more especial attention would be pald
TO matters affecting the home and wei
fare of children. The vice question, the
gambling and liquor ordinances, the
enforcement of the eight hour law
for women and the pure food laws
would come in for particular attention
and consideration, they say.
The plea is not for jury composed
entirely of women but one wherein
women and men would be equally rep
resented. -,
Mrs. Harriet G. r. Wright and Mrs.
Lucy Harrington, prominent sui
gists, are leaders in the movement.
at is the contention of all people
who believe in equal suffrage, IN the
first place. that women should have
a place with jurors" said Mrs. Wright.
"It is simply q matter of Justice.
1--WE women do not crave jury duty;
for that matter, it is difficult to find
a man who isn't anxious to get out OF
such service. But we do believe that
iurv service is responsibility that
should be shared equally by both sexes:
A grand jury is actually in need OF
women more than the ordinary jury
because it so frequently investigates
matters of vital interest to the home
and the child"
Mrs. Joel ShackelfQrd, in speaking
of the question today, said:
/ az am not one of those who believes
! in the miraculous power of women to
cure all ills that fetfrfss+a--eea'ags are
heir to. Possibly grand jury COM
posed entirely of women would prove
no more efficient or effective than a
Jury composed entirely Of men. But
anV Jury would be more efficient If
men and women worked on it together
for each could profit by the others
differences in experience and knowl-
edge"

OLDEST HUMAN SKULL
SURPRISINGLY LARGE

London, Feb. 18.-Prof. Elliott
Smith, the leading English authority
on the brain, in lecture on the ia
NOUS Piltdown skull, which is believed
to be that of man of 100000 years
ago, said the skull was the most prim-
tive form of the human brain ever
discovered. Prof. Smith said that
the fact that cast of the brain has
proved to be somewhat larger than
was at first estimated, is explainable
ON the theory that in the evolution of
man an increase in the size of the
brain preceded general refinement. The
Piltdown skull is an example of this
transitional form.

In her dressing-room, woman de-

elor's question.
Mr.. Bachelor, woman does see her
self elsewhere than in a mirror, and
presently you shall be told where;
but it must be admitted that what she
sees is still highly artificial refec-
ton.
Man has certain priced traditions
of what woman should be- Genera
tons come and go, but Mans notion
of what makes a perfect Woman
persists. And so we come by that
smart phrase, ''the eternal feminine"
Man will adapt his religion, and his
politics, and his ideas of rapid transit,
and of justice, and even of a good
razor, to the changing centuries. But
in every age he demands exactly the
same type of woman-she must be

just 'womanly"; it's quite simple; in
the words of the poet, she needs
merely to shine as "a constellation
of virtues"
Though separated in their lives by
thousand years, Penelope and Pris-
ella are the same. And today man
still expects to find it-her-his ideal
at tango tea, wearing a gossamer
f1esh-colored bodice and a sheathed
silk skirt, and showing a correct taste
in cigarets, and the ability to state
her preference in highballs!
And in order to maintain some illu-
sion of an inherited delicacy and re-
finement existing beneath some vul-
gar but popular customs woman now
had to twist her mental and moral
lights a good deal, just as she fixes
her looking-glass to produce de-
ceiving exaggeration of her beauty.
So long as man preserves one type
of beauty as an ideal and something
quite different as an actual personal
preference, woman will go right on
distorting the true image of herself,
and trying to fit herself to mans
fashionable composite photo of her,
blurred though it be.
For know this, Mr.. Bachelor:
Woman never cares to see herself
as she is.
She prefers her reflection
Because only looking-glas
she values-is in the eye of man!
