A SHORT time ago, when Mrs.
n William K Frcudenberger, Of
Carson City, New, was named
by Governor Boyle as member Of the
Nevada Commission for the Promotion
Of Uniform Legislation for the United
States, she gained the double distinc-
ton Of being the first woman to be ap-
pointed to public Office since Nevada
went for woman suffrage and the first
woman to be named as a member Of
the commission.
In her ancestry she may be classed
as a real Americana American. Before
Revolutionary days her forefathers set
tied in Maryland and Virginia, and she
is descendant of Revolutionary
sires on both sides. Naturally, she is
a member Of the Daughters of the
American Revolution, and her political
independence is easily accounted for.
When she graduated from the uni
versity Of her native state, Missouri,
she took the degrees Of Bachelor Of
Science and Master Of Science. For
two years after her graduation she was
teaching fellow in mathematics, and
took graduate courses in mathematics
and economies. Following this she did
high school and normal school teach

"If woman finds her household

All this is rather startling One

the modern woman who aspires to
higher things. And others hold that
household work IS beautiful and should
be the chosen work Of every woman.
But Mrs Mary Pattison feels that it
