Justice Lazansky has denied the motion re- quiring Jury Commissioner Jacob Brenner to include women on the jury lists. A general strike of women is jn order. Tie up the dinner tables. Let the men starve or move to California where women may serve on juries, Not another sock shall be darned until the men induce Lazansky to reconsider. Why not? Every one else is doing it. not the women? But there is a better way—for either the women or the other strikers. The ballot boxes will be opened next November. If women want to serve on juries they have only to make it an issue in the coming campaign. Whenever a majority of women wish for jury dwty they will * get it, and in perfectly orderly manner. Until then there is no very great harm in Judge Lazarsky’s decision. Most men would feel that women are lucky in not having the duty of jury service. Many @ man has been as truthful as George Wash- ington until he contrived to escApe jury duty. Why wank Ras ROC, SRR ee A WORTHY EXAMPLE. ONSIDER the case of Nathan Fuchsman.

In two hours it has taken from it all it can use, and passed it along the ali canal, where other processes extract all its elements that are needed by the body. Your digestion works automatically. It doesn't need any The digestion of a dog works as well. So does that of the tiniest insect. You put knowledge into your brain, but it dogsn’t stay there without orders. As a baby, experience has to teach you the simplest +hings—that fire will burn you; that a fall will hurt you; that a pin will scratch you. Pain reports this information to the brain, The brain takes charge and issues orders to your mind to let these things alone. Thus the bossing begins. Your brain will receive all sorts of information, good and bad, but it will not know w to do with it. It needs a boss. Before it becomes a useful brain it must be taught what to reject and what, to retain. It must learn to extract the greatest percentage that can be extracted from what it takes in, And it must learn to take in the right kind of fuel or it will soon become worthless. Into a poor furnace you shoyel coal. The furnace takes 3from the coal a percentage of its efficiency and sends the rest up the chimney. A good, well designed furnace will get more heat out of a ton of coal than a poor furnace. But if you do not put good coal into the best furnace you will get little efficiency The best furnace ever made will be useless if only slag is fed it. You stoke and care for the ach takes boss. ce furnace yourself. You must do the same thing with your brain, You must see that it is fed information with the highest percentage of usefulnes in it. You must, by training and discipline, make it able to use that information to the best advantage. | Knowledge comes to all brains, but only good brains can |$extract from it the highly valuable commodity known as wis | $dom, | Le 1in, See that it is well fed first by |$reading good books and taking advantage of the teachings of | Sable men, rn to boss your b | See, second, that it is taught how to use what it is fed and to transmute knowledge into. wisdom.
