GIBBONS Central Press Staff Writer I Chicago, June 25 is to be, the Armageddon of American wom-, en In the legal battle to remove the restrictions that still hedge Uncle Sam's 50,000,000 nieces with thornbarrier of Inequality. The day when the right of citizens of the United States shall be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex is at its sunset You may take the word of Mrs. C. P.

Fowler, chairman of the legal status committee of the Illinois League of Women Voters for that. New Legal Deal And with the dawn of another day, there'll be a new legal deal all the way around, and a new deck of privileges under the law!

"Jury service was open to women in three states before 1920. Since that time, by new state statutes or by construction of those already exIsting, women have been made jurors In 18 states and the District of Columbla. of the 21 state laws women jurors, nine compulsory; in two states there are special exceptions -for nurses- -and in the other 10 states and the trict, of Columbia, service is sive. "The Illinois legislature has passed the 'women on Juries' bills, and it's up to the women of the state to see that the referendum makes tive their years of work to achieve this succees. If Illinois admits women as jurors, it will mean the call to arms of the women of the nation." But Illinois women aren't out to change their status and that of their sisters in other 47 States of the union in the matter of juryservice alone.
