PONEMAH MILLS HAS
FIRST AID DEPARTMENT

The Ponerah Mills Co. has recently
organized a first aid department and
has remodeled one of the office rooms
in the No. 1 mill as headquarters for
Miss Jessie Mcmillan, R. n, of Bos-
well avenue. Norwich, who has becL
secured to supervise the work. The
new office is fitted out as 4 rest room
! with couch, etc, and all the facili-
| ties for administering first aid in case
| Of sickness or accident The depart
ment is capable of taking care Of all
minor accidents and also attends all
/ employees and members of employees
families who are sick. The department
which was started some little time
ago, is Tow working smoothly and is
a much needed addition to any mod
! crn concern or corporation where the
lack of such facilities and immediate
and intelligent attention has some
! times resulted in the permanent dis
ability and sometimes fatal termima-
ton of an accident to an employe or
10 one who has been overcome by
some sudden sickness where first aid
would be invaluable.
This new branch of service which
the POnemah Co. has organized is to
be known as the Ponemah Mills we'll
fare department

OPENING LEGAL
PROFESSION TO
WOMEN is BIG
(BN Associated PrcSSl

Londcn, March 81 (By maiD-Brit-
:sh conservatism sometimes finds
strange obstacles in the path of
progress. One of these threatens the
proposal now before parliament, and
strongly supported by a former lord
chancellor, Lord Buckmaster, for the
admissicn of women to the bar to
practice as barristers. 1t is the an
cient requirement that candidates for
the bar must eat certain number of
dinners in one of the Inns of Court
of the Temple to qualify to take their
carts in the administration of the
law.
Tere are four of these inns. Each
maintains large mess. Every stu
dent must be enrolled in one, and must
dine there fixed minimum of even
ings before he may appear in court
IN wig and gown.
The admission of women would ruff
lie the old traditions, and bring in
a new and unWelcome atmosphere, say
the objectors. The messes are sub
divided into parties of four who
combine on wine rations, and they
now ask: How could the other sex
fit into this arrangement? No racial
lines are drawn in the Temple Many
natives of Africa, of India, and all
tie races of the Orient and other far
away lands, are admitted and sit
tremendously at the tables with the
British members and candidates of
the courts. But the suggestion of
throwing down the barrier Of sex
seems to the barristers an alarming
innovation.
Just why the eating of dinners
should be a necessary feature of train
ing for the legal profession Is a mys-
terry to the outsider, but the higher
caste of the legal trade union is a
clcse corporation and a law to it.
