Woman's Parliament

The indications are that the coming
woman's parliament scheduled to
meet at Ventura Wednesday evening
will have a record breaking attend
ance, as more delegates have already
registered than have ever attended
any previous session.
Best Good" is the topic that will
Best Good" are is the topic that will
take precedence of every other subject,
and Judge Curtis D. Wilbur is to be
the principal speaker, taking for his
topic "The Juvenile Court" Judge
Ewing, superior judge of Ventura
county. and Judge Crow, superior
Judge of Santa Barbara county, will
also be prominent speakers.
Juvenile courts are already estab-
lished in two of the southern counties
of the state-Los Angeles and San
Bernardino-while committees have
been appointed for San Diego, Santa
Barbara and Riverside. 1t is hoped
that the outcome of the present par
lament will be the establishment of a
Juvenile court in Ventura county. The
project lies very close to the heart Of
Mrs. M. E. Dudley of Ventura. county
vice president of the parliament, who
has been earnestly engaged in pre-
liminary details for some time. If
this can be brought Orange county
will be the only territory in this half
of the state without a juvenile court.
Another matter of interest, second
only to that of the juvenile court, will
be the election of officers. Mrs. o.
Shepard Barnum, who has served the
parliament as president for term and
a half finds that other duties compel
her resignation from this office. and it
is whispered that there may be
changes in several offices. A Los An
geles woman prominent in club circles
is being mentioned as Mrs. Barnums
successor.
