OFFER TO PROVE
 WOMAN'S ABILITY

Mrs. Norman DeR. Whitehouse gave the citizens severe jolt two months ago, when she offered to prove that women were of importance to the nation by call- ing strike of women in Greater New York as a sample of what would re- suit if all women left their work.
 Offices would be crippled. department stores would have had to close their doors, factories would have been com pelied to struggle along as best they could, schools would close, if the women who demand the ballot had quit Had the men wanted proof that women were essential to the worlds industry it could be given them by one-day strike. she declared. The publicity which the argu- ment received was enough--the men did not want further proof.
 Mrs. Whitehouse Is a southern woman, having been raised and educated in New Orleans, and is a sister of Mrs. Felix Baldridge of Huntsville. Mrs. Baldridge is also an ardent suffragist. It will be remembered it was Mrs Baldridge who answered J. Tom Heflin of Alabama at Washington two years ago by saying of him that he represented some of the men and misrepresented all the women. :"

 Heflin's course in excustng the jury venire. In some quarters it was stated that the jury already selected | in the Box trial would be objected to
 later. While in other quarters there
 was much criticism that such trivial
 clerical errors as. an extra initial in
 a name should be grounds enough to postpone several important trials for
 months and impose thousands of dol

Answer and Motion Filed In Case OF
State Against Conrad LaFeber
In Superior Court

An answer and a motion for a
change of venue in the case OF the
state against Conrad LaFeber. charg-
ed with keeping certain intoxicating
liquors for illegal sale, was filed II
the superior court this afternoon by
Frank NJ. Ballinger, attorney for the
defendant
1t was set out in the answer that
the liquors were not kept for sale nor
sold, and that they were kept for
honest purposes and interest and not
for the purpose Of violating any law.
Change of venue from the superior
court was asked for on the grounds
that the Judge was prejudiced against
the defendant and that the defendant
was unable to obtain justice or fair
trial before the judge OF the superior
court.
Two gallons OF whiskey and six pint
bottles of beer, the property Of the
defendant, were seized by the police
in raid made on LaFeber's house
