r-amed condition Mr.. Mattison told Of
the improved conditions in the indus
trial VIC I'd where every effort IS being
mace to protect the workman and thus
lessen the death rate among the heads
OF families. Large industrial plants
show a tendency TO make the working
conditions better that the strength Of
the worker may be conserved. he is
paid better wages, n larger number are
employed and there is less tendency
to strike. On the other hand the con-
gested districts OF certain manufacture
ing centers deprive the head of the
family from means of livelihood be-
yond what Is offered in the congested
factory. The lack OF privacy in the
homes OF the workmen leads To- immor-
atty and to vicious conditions that are
often found there. y general discus
sion followed the presentation of the
subject. The club will meet again in
two weeks with Ralph Gregory as the
leader and he will discuss remedial
loans.

HOLD INQUEST ON
A SUDDEN DEATH
Miss Kate Fry Passes at Anda-
lusia Home After a Series
of Commissions.

Miss Kate Fry died suddenly yester-
day afternoon at her home in Anda-
lusia, after a series of commissions,
with which she was seized while in
the yard at noon. Charles Burgoyne
and Mrs. Owens, nejghbors, saw the
woman collapse and immediately
rushed TO her assistance. She was
carried into the house and given what
relief was possible with home RENE
dies, but efforts TO prolong her life
were OF no avail and two hours later
she was a corpse. a doctor who had
been summoned arrived about 10
minutes after the woman had died.
The first convulsion was followed
with period of consciousness. during
which she was questioned by her at
PENDANTS as to the cause of her con-
dition, the impression being that she
had taken some drug with suicidal in
tent. This idea was dispelIed, how
ever. with the statement made by the
dying woman that she realized fully
the consequence OF such an act, de-
claring that it would be more criminal
than taking the life of another person.
She went from one CONFUSION into
another until death came to relieve
her of her suffering.
Owing to the suddenness of her
death an inquest was held this. morn
ing at her home, in charge of Frank
Gustafson, deputy coroner. the jury's
verdict being that death was due to
natural causes.
Miss Fry was born in Switzerland
So years ago. At the age of IL years
she came TO this country and direct to
Andalusia, where she had lived ever
since. Several years ago it was found
that her mind was slightly deranged
and accordingly she was committed to
the WATERFOWL hospital. Having inn
proved mentally and physically during
her confinement there, she was re-
leased a year ago. She had been max
ing her home with her sister, Miss
Barbara. and sister-in-law, Mrs. Jacob
Fry. She also leaves two other sis
tiers. Mrs. Elizabeth Hoffman of Dav-
export and Mrs. Susie Kennedy, of
this city.
The funeral will be held from the
home al 1 o'clock tomorrow afternoon,
and burial will be made in the Anda-
lusia cemetery.

in society at the capital, knows that
she is asfarmer. Not woman who
hires and fires her own farm hands,
keeps her own farm accounts, super
vises the sowing and the harvesting of
her crops, raises chickens and hogs
and runs a place of $50 acres without
assistance from anyone. But she does
great deal of careful directing and
is in close touch with farm affairs.
Not everyone knows that Mrs. Swan
son has in her possession some old
mahogany thai would make any col
Iector covetous. She is one of the
really few women who have an expert
knowledge of and love for rare old
woods and for skilled craftsmanship,
which went into the making of old
pieces of furniture.
Il wish" says Mrs. Swanson, that
every woman could know the happi-
ness which comes from the ownership
of even one old piece that is sincere,

in craftsmanship. | often think our
