BALTIMORE, Nov. 26.-In
the archaeological museums OF
Johns Hopkins University is q
copy Of what looks like the
worlds Oldest crossword puz-
zIe. For years it has been q
puzzle to Psychologists and the
solution now is thought to be
as remote as ever. According
to many students, this ancient

B. C.
and is regarded as one Of the
m Ost remarkable discoveries
ever made il the island Of
Crete, a place particularly rich
in archaeological lore. The disk

Some years ago a German
scholar maintained that he had
found q key to the puzzle, but
other psychologists refused to

. broken hip and is in the hospital

way into the path of the big ma.
chine and when, the bus driver APP
piled the brakes it went into the
ditch. sThen as the, coach was
pulling out White Star Line hus
coming from Raleigh, doomed out
of the fog.
The first bus driver reversed
gears and backed hastily as the
second bus driver slapped on
brakes, Moving to the rear the
first bus crashed into small coupe
and the second bus Slowed It's rear
into the front of the first bus
which slid off into the ditch a Sec
ond time while the second bus
slSldded into the opposite ditch.
Four other private cars took TO
ehe ditch when suddenly confronted
with the disabled busses and parked

by means of the initiative refer endrnn and recall have regained a large measure of the direct sov- ereignity which they surrendered when indirect democracy was sub stituted for the absolute democ- racy typihed by the town meeting.
 Due to franchise restrictions representative democracy does not as yet extend to all citizens, all though the tendency is toward complete voting rights for every adult
 In the United States represen- tative democracy is hampered by control of legislation by the judi ciary exercised by means of the arrogated power to pass upon the constitutional validity of laws de- claring public policy, the court de- cress not being reviewable by any other body. Inasmuch as the jud- ges are not elected, but appointed for life, their opinions, which as- surne the form of legislation, may be largely misrepresentative of the views of the people without the latter naV1ng any corrective mea- sures at their disposal as is the case with elected representatives. Such a body, while compatible with monarchic government, is an anomaly i'll a representative demo- cracy.
 Popular election of the federal judiciary or conferring upon the elected Congress of the United States authority to re-enact by a protective two-thirds majority of each house laws declared unconsti- tutioral by the Supreme Court of the United States seem to be nec- essary in order to regain for the citizens that complete sovereignty which has been taken from them by judicial control of legislation

AuTTLELESSONINDEMOCRACY
By JULIAN PIERCE

A Democracy is a form of government i'll which sovereign power, including legislation and the administration of the laws en- acted, is vested in the citizens.
 There are two types of demo- cracy, pure" or direct" democ- racy and indirect" or "represen- tative" democracy.
 In a pure democracy the citi- zens themselves compose the leg islative body and confer directly executive and judicial powers. The town meeting system of local government i'll the United States is a classical illustration of this type of democracy.
 In representative democracy the soveireign power of the gov ernmen remains vested in the citi- zens, but is exercised by their el- ected agents, who constitute a dele gated authority.
 A Republic is form of gov ernment in which . the citizens choose delegates commonly called representatives and vest them tenn porarily with power of govern ment.
 A republic is virtually the same as a representative democracy. In both of them the government is representative and conducted by delegates chosen by the voting cit izens.
 The function of an elected rep resentative Is to ascertan the views of his constituents on matters coming within the jurisdiction of the government and undertake to enact them into law regardless of his own judgment. Otherwise the government would not be repre- Sentative of the citizens, who con stitute the sovereign power.
 In modern representative demo- cracies and republics the citizens
