WOMEN AS JUR0KS. Tt has been generally assumed that on obtaining the franchise women would discharge the responsibilities incident thereto as well as exercise the privileges, that they would exemplify "equal rights" to the fullest degree. It is. thervfore. suprisini Hj find a committee of the Now York state bar association expressing its disapproval o:' tl; service of v..raen as jurors. "Neither her experience nor her occupation tits, or permits her to attend at court, listen to evidence, determine disputes, listen to judicial charges and bring in verdicts. We do not. look for women as firemen, longshoremen, pilots, linemen, locomotive engineers or in many other industrial occupations. In our social and economic life the male is breadwinner and the mother and wife la housekeeper, cook and companion and guide of her children. If taken away, her house and children would suffer neglect." This has the familiar sound of the stock arguments against woman suffrage with the text: "Woman's place is in the home." Of more importance is the decision of a New York state justice that when the women gained the right to vote they did not obtain the right to serve on juries, since he directs attention to the necessity for new legislation placing women on a par with men in this respect. The accompanying opinion points out that while citizenship has always been a qualification of jury service, every voter has not been included on the jury lists. General fitness should be the test under the law rather than sex. Logic plays little part in debarring from jury service women who are permitted to vote.

IT'S ALL MONEY. Many American coins rarely if ever seen in circulation are still ofTUialy outstanding In substantial ijiuntlties. Among these are H'-'.O'O worth of coppcr-f o-.u pieces made in the early day.? of the country, m ro than $500,000 worth of two-cent pet es. and $C."r.,iH0 worrit of three-tent pieces. They me still of full fac; vaiuc- -and sometimes more to coiu collectors. Many trade dollars of the variety issued some forty years ago in a futile effort to compete in th-' Orient with the far-famed Mexican silver dollar--have nivor come back. They were not of legal tender for more than $5, though when abandoned, a reasonable time was given for exchanging them for standard silver dollars. Those still extant are of only bullion value, except perhaps to collectors. Likewise a substantial amount of paper money is btill officially rated as "outstanding."' but is never expected to return for redemption. It is estimated that one per cent of all paper money is lost or destroyed, and when such happens the Government profits. This is the case even with national bank notes.

BOLSHEVIK EI0TS IN BERLIN. Rioting In Berlin which developed Into a pitched battle in front of the Reichstag building did not grow out of any popular dissatisfaction with the terms of peace which have been imposed on Germany. It was a Bolshevik outburst, the object of which was the seizure by and for the "proletariat" of the industries of. the country. The ultimate object, of course, is revolution of "all power to the workers" kind. But the Berlin Bolshevists are less advantageously placed for securing their objects by force than were the Russian brethren. No doubt there are plenty of arm3 and munition in Germany yet, but the requisitions made by the victorious countries have had the effect of concentrating the surplus remaining in the government's hands. As a consequence the government Is better ab!e to cope with the disturbers than it would have been some months ago. In the recent clash it was shown that it has the will a3 well as the means to overcome the revolutionaries. It may have to kill a good many more than the score or so fire-eaters who fell before the machine guns' bark during the rush against the national assembly. And it has acted with promptness and determination in declaring martial law throughout the country. As the cables tell the story, the law-makers were debating a bill designed to give legality to the workingmen's councils. Presumably the plan is to assign responsibility to these organizations as well as to define

THE governmental bureau which turned back an appropriation of $12.r.000 should be investigated. Its very act shows It to be so abnormal as to arouse suspicion that something's wrong with it.

ABOUT the only person of any prominence at all who isn't at least a receptive candidate now is Hardboiled Smith and perhaps he decided to throw his strength to Lucy Page Gaston.

THE Berlin anarchists became peeved when the police started to throw bombs, for only anarchists, you know, have the right to be rude.

SOME wealthy New Yorkers were fleeced out. of $350,000 by a shark with marked cards, but some other folks merely buy worthless wildcat securities.

Swift & Company s 1919 Earnings

How They Affected You

During the twelvemonths ended November 1, 1919, (its fiscal year), Swift & Company transacted its large volume of business on the smallest margin of profit in its history.

Sales over $1,200,000,000.00 Net earnings $13870,814

Our shipments were in excess of 5,500,000,000 lbs. This means that our earnings were less than lVe cents on each dollar of sales, or a quarter of a cent on each pound shipped. ConsumerThe average consumer eats about z lb of meat per day 180 lbs. per year. If he purchased only Swift & Company products he would have contributed only 45 cents (180 lbs. V4 cent a pound)- a year profit to Swift & Company for its investment and service, less than one cent per week. Our earnings were so small as to have practically no effect on the family meat bill. Live Stock Raiser Swift & Company handled in 1919 over 16,000,000 head of live stock. You can figure lor yourself that our earnings of lVs cents on each dollar of sales are too small to affect the price you received for your stock. We paid all it was humanly possible to pay considering what the meat and by-products could be sold for.
