WASHINGTON, b. c. July g.
Senator Howard Sutherland was q
visitor at the British legation on Sat
urday a business matter taking him
there. 1t was to make arrangements
for the safe conduct, or as nearly safe
as British passports can make it, OF
Miss Phoebe NJ. Rexroad, Of Buckhan-
non, who plans to go as q missionary
to southern Rhodesia in southern Cen
trail Africa, which is British territory
as soon as travel arrangements can
be made. Miss Rexroad has, during
the last four years, fitted herself az
wesleyan College to engage in mis-
sionary work. She is to be sent to Al
RIGA by the Woman's Foreign Mission
ary Society Of the Methodist Episco-
pal church. The attaches Of the Brit
ish legation treated Senator Sutnei-
land most cordially and readily enough
agreed to do their part promptly IN
getting the necessary papers issued
for MISS Rexroad's journey. 1t is sell
dom dol It that a United States Senator calls
at the British legation in business

there socially, of course), so the Visit
of West Virginia's junior Senator was
quite an important event at that es-
Enlistment and, it may be said, little
less important and more than ever in
teresting for Senator Sutherland.
