CT men or women, must be prepared to as sume the obligations and responsibilities which go with them. And when women set out to ask for special considerations and concessions they present the strongest argument for bar ring them from participation. Any law making women eligible to jury service will assume the same readiness to perform their duty as that of men, and any efforts to evade that duty will be regarded with disfavor If the women of the Territory are sincerely de- sirous of being made eligible to jury service, quibbling over phraseology and technicalties with the idea of escaping it on occasion, is the greatest injury they can render to the cause If women want jury service, they should be good enough sports and good enough citizens to take it whole. Half measures are petty and unworthy

CRUSOE ADVERTISED

Robinson Crusoe was a successful advertiser. He wanted ship help. He improvised an "ad"-his shirt flung from a pole struck in the sand of the island where he and Friday had been marooned.
 The circulation and pulling power of the frayed lad" were small there was no other medium-but Crusoe kept at it, despite the fact he got no inquiries for a long time.
 He changed his "copy'-as one garment after another was whipped to shreds In the end he got what he wanted-a ship.
 Crusoe demonstrated the value of sustained advertising. He didn't kick over the pole, cuss Friday and sit down to wait for nature to take it's course, just because he didn't get results right off the bat.

If a boxers strike came in New
York, it would be something terrible
for the wealthy champion sto be fore
ed to keep the poor preliminary boys
in bread and butter until the strike
WAS settled.
Even the sport writer's might have
to Join the union before they could
have the great privilege of putting the
boxers in print-and how the boxers
do hate publicity.
When the Alliance was first thoguhl
of the geenral impression went around
that it was body organizing TO get
Tex Rickard, but this can't be taken
seriously since the name of Leo Flynn,
Richards right hand man, against
whom the manager shad their chief
grievances. appears on the board of
directors.
Of course. a boxers union is Joke.
II the game is to be given such great
fine bath it must be individually.
Nothing can be done with a high
sounding organization. If every boxer
in the game conducted himself prep
erly. if every manager refused to fix
a set up, and if every fighter did his
best in the ring there would be no
need for a National Sports Alliance to
turn the game into grand opry''

EFFORT TO Be MADE

NEW YORK, Jan. 2.-We have
with us now the National Sports Alli-
ance.
ITS fancy name for the boxers
union"
Formed to protect the poor hard
worked, underpaid boxers from eth
Vaccinations of capitalistic promoters,
il will seek enrolment in the Amerl-
can Federation of Labor.
The membership of the protective
body includes nearly all the promi-
nent boxers and their managers and
it is hoped eventually to snare a lot
of fans in for q ten-dollar initiation
fee and ten-dollar dues year.
The maid idea, given to the public
ct least, is to elevate boxing to the
place of grand opry' and join all the
fraternity into a big lovable associa-
ton. with everyone working for each
other.
Should the boxers union" get into
the Federation of Labor, some inter-
esting situations might arise.
It would be aggravating for Benny
Leonard, whose manager, Billy Glib
son, is the prime factor in the move
ment. should have to turn down
$4,000 match because his opponent
was a non-union blow-maker.
There probably would be union
champion and a non-union champion.

Rome Considering
 Drastic Measure
 To Stop Speeding

Rome, Aug. 5.-Confronted with the difficulty of controlling speeding au- tomobileS within the city limits, Rome is considering a device which will pre- vent the car to which it is attached from travelling over ten miles an hour. The more the driver ''stepS on it, the slower the car will run.
 This automitic speed regultaor is the invention of Ernesto Fragano and Et- tore Villa. An indicator is set at the number of miles an hour desired as the maximum speed. An application of centrifugal force interrupts the working of the motors if that driver attempts to go beyond the limit.
 In Rome the narrow streets in the older quarters of the city; the numer- ous hills, and the inequalities in the pavements of many streets make fast driving particularly dangerous. Drivers are prone to disregard exist ing speed regularities, so the city au- thorities are giving thought to making obligatory the use of this automatic speed regulator.

MILFORD.

Milford, Aug. 5-The local fire board has just received detailed re- port from the New England InSur- ance Exchange regarding the so-call- ed excessive rates of insurance at shore resorts near Milford. Many recommendations are made in the re- port. These must be carried out before lower rates may be obtained.
 Milford is at present in the Class c rating, but the change from Class D did not affect the beach districts, when the transfer was made last sum- mer. Under the Class c rating. which applies only to dwelling houses for the central districts the rate was lowered from $5.70 on s1,0O0 to s5-5O as a minimum for a period of three years. In the beach district. be- cause of congestion. the minimum rate is S10 on $1,o00 and runs as high as $20.50 in some cases on the same amount for a period of three years.
 The shore dwellers aver that these rates are excessive The recom- mendations of the insurance ex- change, which if carried out, would mean a reduction of the rates. in clude the following most important:
 A better inspection of hydrants and proper records kept of same.
 Installation of a 12 inch main to replace the six inch main now across the Milford shore front.
 Increase the fire department by at least five permanent men.

 Washington, Aug. 5.-Labor organ izations in this country are greatly interested in the outcome of the trials of the 1000 persons now in jail in South Africa in connection with the great strike in the Rand gold fields in January. Of those now imprisoned $50 are accused of high treason and many of them will be tried for mur- der under the old Roman-Dutch law. Although the strike was described throughout the world as a revolution this characterization is denied In a statement issued in London by the Class War Prisoners Release Com mittee- Copies of the statement have been circulated in labor circles in the United States.
 '-The trouble arose over a demand by the employers for reduction in wages of the white men in the gold fields of five shilliQgs a day" the statement says. This was resisted made a counter-offer on behalf of the men to accept a reduction of two shillfngs and six-pence a day pending employers. who were backed by the

 "At the same time the Chamber of owners. demanded that in future work hitherto performed by white men should be done by cheap black labor. This meant that 5000 white workers would be thrown out of em- ploment and that wages would be re- duoed from twenty Sh1lHngS per day to two shillings per day, the difference between the wages of the white work CT and the native.
 These demands were opposed by the unions and a strike began on January 10. Appeals were made to the Government on behalf of the white workers, with the object of ef- fecdng a. settlement; the Governm ent replied advising the men to accept the employers terms. These were
