A weary patent lawyer poured out some
OF his woes much as follows:
"In the last four years we have tried
about a hundred photographers Many of
them we have kept varying lengths Of time,
seldom longer than two years. II takes
me nearly four hours to test one thor
oughly."
Hereupon it was pointed out to him that
very few young women are cool and col
lected enough to show what they can really
DO under such circumstances: that often an
intelligent and well-educated stenographer
will not show what she Is capable OF until
the first strangeness OF work and sur
~roundings has worn off, This the lawyer
conceded.
lie said he would gladly engage without
trial anyone who would come to him with
references from another patent lawyer.
But no one ever did. lie could only con-
clude that when women left places with
patent lawyers they either rushed into
matrlmony 10 escape the life they had
been leading or they took up quite another
branch OF stenographie work.
He showed som Of the drawings which
a stenOgrapher would be called upon to
read To the uninitiatsd It would he a

one would write tap" and top" not OnIy

garst Haley Of Chicago are two women
who possess a great following Of women
teachers. Both OF them are 81 Irish
descent and American birth. both are born
Fighters, both absolutely democratic and
good mixers. Both began as public school
teachers. but there the resemblance ends.
Miss Strachan occupies one OF the high
est paid posts ia the educational world. a
district sUperintendency with a salary OF
5000 a year. Miss Haley was a grade
teacher when she left the school room to
conduct the fight OF the Chicago teachers
which ended In the payment OF years OF
back taxes by Chicago public service cor
porations. Miss Haley IL a small. blue
eyed and falr-haired creature. and one
would as soon suspect her OF scuttling a
ship as leading a great legal fight. Miss
strachan is tall and dark, but also very
s~oft-spoken.
There is nothing fiery about either OF
them. A woman who is responsible for
twenty-one big city schools and who Is
the executive head OF an organization OF
several thousand professional women whom
she led in a political fight that has ex-
tended over years, might be expected to
be rather busy at all lines. But Miss
strachan never seems hurried. She never
tells how much she has to do, and II she
gives a person an appointment she acts as
II she had nothing else in the world to do
except talk to that person at that time.
Leaders of voters.
The two women whom the women voters
OF Colorado have kept most persistently
TO the front are Mrs. Helen GrenfelI. who
served many terms as state superintendent
OF public instruction. and Mrs. A. NJ.
Welles. who under all ADMINISTERS tons, of
whatever party, has been retained as
chairman Of the Colorado Travelling Ii
brary commission.
Mrs. Grenfell made so good a superln-
tendant that after her first term the lead
Ing educators OF the state, headed by the
president Of the State university. presented
a petition to her party to nominate her
again, an unprecedented action In political
history. She has polled more votes at cleo
ton than any mar running on the ticket
with her, including the candidates for
governor and congressman. She is tall,
good looking, black haired, a good public
speaker, a very sane, we'll balanced person.
Mrs. Welles is the wife of a mining ex-
pert in Denver, and has a son in Cornell.
Sho built up the Colorado Travelling H.
brary from nothing to a great Institution
with hundreds Of boxes, going to the most
remote corners Of the state for their three
months stay, little school houses, 100 miles
from the railroad, hamlets, mining camps
lonely fRrmhouses.
Her personal influence among the Colo.
RADIO women ramifies in every direction
and she has had more to do with electins
school boards in Denver for years pas
than any other one person. It is said II
Denver that she has more practical politica
knowledge and more political inflneno,
than any other woman In the state. NSh,
is a leader in the present movement II
Colorado to form a %nonpartisan nucleus O.
