Poor Los knowledge.

COMETIMES l wonder whether
- we, the perfected flower of CIV
ilization-and if you don't believe
we are, just ask us-can really be
as smart as we let on.
Lately, out on the high seas,
met an educated Hopi, who said to
me:
white people get wrong and stay
wrong when right before their eyes
is proof to show how wrong they
are. For instance, take your de-
fusion that there are only four
direction points-an error which
you've persisted in ever since you
invented the compass, a thing our
people never needed. Every Indian
knows better than that"
"Well them" I said, chow many
are there, since you know so
much?"
"Seven," he said, "seven in ALL"
"Name 'em," demanded.
with pleasure" he said. "Here
they are: north, east, south, west,
up, down and here"
Of course, there's catch in it
somewhere, but, to date, I haven't
figured it out.
The Russian Puzzle.
TT NDER the present benefcent
regime, no prominent figure in
Russia's government, whether mil
itary or civil, is pestered by the
cankering fear which besets an Off
cial in some less favored land,
namely, that he'll wear out in har-
ness and wither in obscurity.
All General So-and-Soski or Com
missar Observation-Disclosures has
to do is let suspicion get about that
he's not in entire accord with ad-
ministration policies and promptly
he commits suicide-by request; or
is invited out to be shot at sunrise.
To be sure, the notion isn't new.
The late Emperor Nero had numer-
Gus well-wishers, including family
relatives, that he felt he could spare
and he just up and spared them.
And, in our own time, AL Capone
built quite an organization for TAX
ing care of such associates as
seemed lacking in the faith. Twas
a great boon to the floral design
business, too, while it lasted.
But in Russia where they really
do things-there no job-holder need
ever worry about old age. Brer
Stains boys will attend to all nee
essary details, except the one, for
merly so popular in Chicago, of
sending flowers to the funeral.

No Jury Service for Wonl- en of State of Connects
 cut Until 1888


 Women will not be included in the 1887 jury lists, if the advice of Attorney General Edward J. Daly, who will soon advance to the bench of the superior court, Is tak- en by jury commissioners.
 The act of the General Assembly in passing the wornen's jury service bill, does not become effective tir1- til July 1, and jury lists are drawn up by town jury committees or se- iectmen in May and submitted to the county clerks in that same month. Jury lists are made up by the county jury commissioners in July; all selections being made from the lists submitted.
 MT. Daly comments: eAs 1t is to be assumed that the act in ques- tion will become effective in July i of this year, at this time there would appear to be no reason why, when the lists are prepared next May, the names of women should not be included" "There is no ques- tion that women will be included in the 1888 jury lists"

EPSTEIN PROTESTS
.'CURB0NFREEDOM'
Charges Attempt by Social
Security Office to Cur
tail Speech.
BY the Associated Press


NEW YORK, October abraham
Epstein, internationally known au-
thority on social security and an in
structor at New York University, has
filed written protest with the Gov
ernment, charging serious encroach-
ment on academic freedom"
His complaint, in letter to A. j
Altmeyer, chairman of the Social
Security Board at Washington, has
to do with a telephone call and a
letter to the university from the Office
here of Mrs. Anna M. Rosenberg. re-
gional director of the board.
1t charges that her Office Informed
the university that my point of view
is not the official one and that some
other person ought to represent the
official point Of view"
Mrs. Rosenberg says the telephone
call was made by Mrs. Ruth Tennant,
of her office, but insists the object was
to cooperate as far as possible with
any agency disseminating information
pertaining to any phase OF social
security"
Tremendous Concern.
In his letter TO Altmeyer, Epstein
said:
Since, unlike in Germany, Italy
and Russia, We have so far not be-
come familiar with what are official
and official points of view,
frankly consider this an unwarranted
attempt to curtail my constitutional
liberty of speech and my opportun-
tiles for earning a livelihood through
a discussion of social insurance, which
subject l have not only studied but
devoted my entire life to. This action
also involves serious encroachment
on academic freedom. You can
readily see that such tactics are of
tremendous concern to me personally
as well as to the Nation"
Mrs. Rosenberg also made public her
letter to the university, which said:
II am wondering if the faculty has
considered the practical advantage OF
inviting an authorized representative
of the Social Security Board TO supple
ment this (Epstein's) course with ar
exposition of the policies, administra-
ton and methods of procedure actually
in operation to effectuate the purposes
of the social security act, particularly
with regard to old-age insurance"
Lectures to Continue.
AS for the university authorities
themselves. Dean Ned H. Dearborn
said Epsteins lectures would be con-
tinued as scheduled, unaffected by the
letter and telephone call.
The incident had some echoes, how
ever. in other quarters Arthur A
Ballantine, former Undersecretary OF
the Treasury and director of the

curity. of which Epstein is executive
secretary, said:

William Fellowes Morgan, commits

wholesalers were exploiting the meat

We've had our fill of conferences"
said William Greenwald, chairman Of

We've conferred with the packers

protest has been voted. Neither I

Commissioner Morgan that unless
