GIRLS WINTER
SHORT COURSE

The winter short course for girls
begins January 5 in the department Of
home economics at the Agricultural
College and continues fer ten weeks.
This course is planned to meet the
needs of those who can not devote the
entire year to school work. The sub.
jects considered are cooking, sewing,
household decoration, home nursing,
hygiene and physical training. and
household management. Effort is
made to make this course attractive
and helpful to the girls of North Da-
kota. In the words Of. one Of the
girls who attended last year, I THE
student becomes acquainted with some
OF the mysteries Of cooking, which,
to learn by experience are slow and
unsatisfactory. She learns that the
common foods which all can have
when living on the farm can be made
most attractive and wholesome" New
interests are centered about the home
and community. The definition of
home now accepted by too many,
namely Home is the place to go to
get ready to go somewhere else,"5 is
revised to give a broader and more
satisfactory meaning of this place we
call home. Thus the Agricultural Col.
lege of North Dakota makes it posi-.
BILE for the girls of this state to re.
ceive instruction which shall be. OF
service to them in solving the pro.
blems of the household.

WOMAN
OF 9S POUNDS
GOES ON FORCE

Mrs. Kate Wood Ray, the newly ap.
pointed head of the police and fire
departments of Gary, is small Of stat.
ure, but great Of heart. She is less
than 5 feet tall and weighs just 9S
pounds-but that, as she explained
yesterday, wouldn't in the least affect
her courage If she were confronted
by the biggest burglar in the land.
II don't know how I'd 60 at It," she
smiled; "but l think I'd manage to
bring him along somehow"
And little as Mrs. Ray is, and
though she smiled as she spoke, one
got an Impression of tremendous
nervous strength. She seemed to
hold 1t in reserve. But after all, it
was the small women who changed
the history of the world. Cleopatra
was hardly more than s feet.
She's little--but make no mistake.
She can hit from any position. That
Is, of cOurse--Orally and mentally"
So said Mayor r.. =. Knott OF Gary
in making the announcement that he
would appoint Mrs. Ray as a member
of the board of public safety, which
directs the action Of the fire, police
and health departments Of Gary. He
SO impressed the other two members
of the board, Frank Dorman and
Carl ]. Cooper, that they at once de.
clared it was their intention to make
her president of the board.
"Of course thereu be women on
the police force" declared Mrs. Ray.
Sand there'n be women in the fire
department, too. Women applicants
for the positions will be given equal
chance with men. Yes, | am a suf-
fragist."
Mrs. Ray is president of the Gary
Civic Service Glib and is noted
%thrOnhout the middle west for her
labors in behalf of woman suffrage.
In Indiana they say she is sometimes
called 'the power behind the suf-
rage throne" She is an intimate
of Mrs. Medill Mccormick, Mrs. An.
toinette Funk, Mrs. Sherman Booth
and many other Illinois suffrage lead
ers.
