Probably few people realize the de-
mand in these busy times for women
with legal training and the extent to
which such women have come into
prominence. The number Of women
predicting law in Washington and
performing legal work for the Cow
>rnment has probably doubled within
the last year.
Several Of the younger members OF
the bar have opened Offices for active
practice within the year, notable
among them being Miss Elizabeth c.
Harris. who is chairman OF the legal
aid committee of the Women's Bar
Association. and Miss Cora Larimore
Kelley, who has the distinction Of
having passed the bar examination
before her Law course was completed.
Miss Mary oToole. well known as
an attorney. and also for her interest
in civic affairs, has been elected a
member OF the board Of directors Of
the Washington Chamber OF Com

Miss Kathryn Sellers. known as an
International law expert by reason OF
her valuable services to the State De-
partment and the Carnegie Endow-
ment, for International Peace, has
been nominated by the President as
Judge of the Juvenile Court of tho
District OF Columbia.
For many years women have been
doing legal work in the Government
departments. but until recently very
few have attained the title and salary
of law clerk.

OCILLA METHODIST CHURCH

DELLA, Ga, March 20.-The Metho-
dist people of Ocilla are planning for
great event Easter Sunday. There
will be great Home Coming" of all
the former members of the church
and the beautiful new church will be
dedicated. Bishop J. H. Mccoy, of
Birmingham, will preach the dedica-
tory sermon and formally dedicate
the building. The Methodists of this
city are justly proud of their new
church and parsonage. These build
ings have cost much sacrifice and eff
fort and they stand as a monument
to the untiring efforts and zeal of
the membership of the church. The
pastor of the church, Rev. J. H.
House, is serving his fourth year and
he is happy to see the church dedicat-
ed during his pastorate. The build
ing was erected under the ministry of
the late Rev. B. S. Sentell and were
freed from debt last September. The
entire plant represents a value of
more than $20,O00O0 and is a credit
to the city and section.

be little more exact, their owners

they face Recorder George Johnson.

cows get into the garden of E. M.
Fisher. If it had been another mans
garden, there wouldn't have been
such stir. But it happens that Mr..
Fisher is chairman of the war garden
committee of the Chamber of Com
merce and war garden expert of the
Southern Bell Telephone company.
And of course when Mr.. Harris's
COWS trampled all over his vegetable
patch he got ripping mad and caused
the police to make case against Mr..
Harris.
Judge, l dislike to appear against
my neighbor in court, but you know
how vitality important is food pro-

recorder And the judge agreed with
him and slapped fine on Mr.. Har-
ris and incidentally took occasion to
announce that owners of marauding
cows and chickens will catch it hot

GOVERNMENT INSURANCE

Atlanta, Ga, March l9.-In conse-
quence of government insurance for
soldiers and sailors at actual cost,
providing an annuity for tlle;l de-
pendents, commercial life insurance
companies are being forced back to
policies primarily designed for the
protection of the benefciaries, instead
of the speculation of the policy hold
ers, according to Annuity Messenger,
official organ of the Mason's Annuity,
the well-known benefit order for Ma
sons which has its supreme lodge in
this city. The messenger calls at
tention to the fact that annuity in
surance has always been considered
the best form of insurance abroad,
and has been steadily improved and
perfected. Wealth is measured, or
should be measured, in terms of in
come. To fulfill its true function,
therefore, insurance should provide
an income for the family after death
of the income producer. Hence in
the change brought about by govern
ment insurance, the fraternal bene-
fit orders, which have always fought
for annuity protection, find their vim
dication. The Masons' Annuity re-

are managing it.

For dinner on the Wheatless days
do not serve any bread. Its place
may be amply filled by serving both
rice and potatoes for this meal. Do
not serve either sphagetti or macaro-
nj on this day, for these arc both
wheat products. If any pastry is
made, make the crust of cornmeal or

as gelatine jellies with fruit and nuts,
cereals nodded with dates or raisins,
