women were recognized as possessing
an economic and political status side

church warden's accounts Of St. Mar

the casting Of the second bell and that
all the women employed thus wee
paid at the same rate as men for the
same work. Another instance is to be

husband Robert. received the same
salary "as the said Robert had been
accustomed to during his life"

SHAMROCK NV HANDY
 IN HER TRIAL SPIN

Portsmouth, Eng.. June EShamrock ", Sir Thomas Ilipton,s new chal- lenger for the Americas cup, went out today for her first sail-stratching spin in the vicinity of Spthead. She was accompanied by Shamrock III The wind was light and hukey and quite inadequate to test the capabiE- ties of the challenger. Under her huge mainsail and sloop foresaiI, she maneuvered handily, however, and picked up way quickly after tacking
 The towering mast of the new yacht quite dwarfed that of the older sham rock.
 Sir Thomas was on board the chal- lenger together with Charles B. Nicf1- olson, her designer, and William F. Burton, the amateur yacfltsnnan who is to command the Shamrock w dur ing the cup races in American waters.
