HALLS POLICY
 IS HANDS OFF
No State Superintendent Need
 Fear Him, He Says

Hartford. Dec. 3 LP-"There is no need Of any man in this state or of any superintendent of any state in- stltution to have any fear of my stepping in and trying to run his institution.
 Not at anytime am I going to interfere with the operations of Connecticuts Institutions. The minute any Interference Of that sort begins, I'm through"
 Such was the reply by State Com missioner Of Finance and Control Edward F. Hall of New Britain, speaking at the weekly luncheon Of the Civitan club here this noon 10 rumors that he and his department recently established intended to vir- tually direct the various state in- stitutiOns and the work of the sev- cral superintcndents.
 The best way to get work done" declared the commissioner, is to put a man in charge of q department, make him responsible for it and let him dig out the work. We have a wonderful set of men and women running the institutions in this state and l am not saying this because of republican policy or because I am a republican, but because of my intimate knowledge of the contact with the various institutions.
 Tt would be foolhardy for any man like myself to try to step in and run their institutions. So long as there is no complaint from the public, the superintendent will have a free hand, under their b~rds of trustees. We are not going 10 copy Massachusetts. which has gone much further in centralizing control over it's institutions. I cant conceive Of any central organization that can do that work as well as the Supcrinten- dent who is in charge and knows every individual case"

W0MEN'S INTUITION
 IS NOT RELIABLE
Noted British Expert Gives His
 Opinions

Leeds, Eng, Dec. g R,-Women's intuition and women's sixth sense are all the bunk. At least, so Pro- lessor C. w. Valentine. of Birming- ham. noted British psychologist told the British association.
 There is a widespread belief in the possibility of intuitional judg- ments of character and in women's superiority to men In this respect" Professor Valentine said.
 Indeed. the superiority Of wom- ems intuition is sometimes held to apply to other kinds of judgments and to be apparently a compensa- tion for a supposed weakness in reasoning.
 First impressions, however, are unreliable, and particularly in rela- tion to women's intuition.'
 Professor Valentine told of uni versity women graduates who were asked to judge the character of chill dren from immediate impressions.
 '''rhe more they relied upon pure and immediate intuition the more worthless their judgments were, '' the professor said.
 They were practically unani- nous In saying that q boys char acter was easier to judge than a girls, the reason being that boys gave themselves away more readily.
 The results, however proved that this was Il dclusion as all thc judges actually judged the girls more accurately than the boys"
 However, Professor Valentine con- cluded:
 "A good wife. fortunately for some Of them, persists, by some miracles of self-deception in believ- ing her husband to be a fine fellow, although later experience may have been expected to show the unre- liability Of the first impression on which this was based"

"BIG BILL" HITS WAR
Chicago's Mayor Would Amend Con- stitutions So Americans Wouldn't Die For Europe.

Chicago. Dec, 9 LP - Mayor Thompson's platform of political principles has been amplifcd with the following amendment 10 his definition of his slogan America First"
 The constitution Of the United States should be amended so that an act of congress cannot draft the American boy for war service on foreign soil without approval of the people by referendum vote.
 We believe that the right of con- gress to declare war to resist inya- sion or to quell insurrection is suffi- cicnt for the protection of our peo- pie as it now stands.
 We offer as the best solution for the prevention of future wars an amendment to the constitution of all countries of the world or an agree ment of their representatives, that they. too, will agree not 10 go to war without the approval of their pco- pie by referendum yote."
