quickly dismissed. Dumbly she hoped that her

OF that word in connection with it-would not
prove to have been in vain, though subconsciously
she felt soreness at her heart. II had been her

Georgia Senate Passes Bill Making
Defamation of Women a
Prison Offense.

Atlanta, Ca, July Is. The
penitentiary stares scandal-mon-
gers in the face now. The Geor-
gia senate passed a bill today
making it a penal offense to utter
any false or defamatory remark
about a woman. Heretofore the
women DETAINED had no recourse
except in the civil courts. But
the McCurry bill changes all that
and will, it is believed, put a
bride on scandalous tongues. 1t
was not passed without long de-
hate, many senators believing it
impaired right of free speech.

of the % pretty nurses at-ehe
Presbyterian hospital is over.
1t was compromised" as one of
the soft-voiced strikers explain
ed. by the nursess returning to
work under the old terms and
conditions. That is, q of them
returned and the remaining three
were willing to. but the hospital
authorities told them to pack
their clothes and go"
The young women claimed that

was they have not revealed.
Anyway the nurses borrowed
from other hospitals have been
returned and peace reigns over
the Presbyterian hospital.
