THE WORLD KNOWS I SUFFERED

THE WORLD KNOWS I SUFFERED
Yesterday at half past four. I lit in
dentist chair, was praying, might
be most any place but there. He
drilled, and punched and he jimmied
so many things in me, and with each
powerful bump. he'd laugh with fiend-
ish ~glee. He used a million little
spikes, and with each he'd hit nerve.
and when he saw an opening, his pur-
pose never swerved. He'd light right
| in each cavity. and WOW, I'd hit the
ceiling, and when he started blasting.
my head went round-a-reeEng. And
| then he used some dynamite and
INT besides, and after each explosion,
another torture he'd decide. 1 stayed
there just about two hours. and when
he let me go. 1 was a wreck beyond
redemption, 1 shook from head to toe.
1 had two hours of regular torture,
but one thing dawned on me- I felt
he was all thru then, no more trouble
did 1 see. But the final jolt came as
I oozed off to the door, he said he'd
finish in two weeks, for me to be back
each day at four. N.SA.

The dean of the law school of Law
renee university says that women
should study law and that there is a
future in that profession for the young
woman of today. His remarks on
the subject as printed in the Daily
Kansas are:
1--WE known a good many women
who studied law. Many of them did not
practice. Some studied law to learn
how to protect their own rights and
property.
"Others married after they finished
their law course. Still others marry
men who are lawyers and have gone
into partnership with their husbands.
"As far as the general educational
value of law course to woman is
concerned, there is none broader. 1t
disciplines it's students to think ac-
curately and quickly. 1t insures calm
reasoning of factors. 1t necessitates
alertness, also a grip over ones in
clinations. A lawyer must not lose his
head even If the opponents fire gets
scorching. A lost head means a lost
case to a lawyer
st is all right for a lawyer to back
fire his opponent in the court room,
but he must smooth down the ruffles
Immediately after the trial if he wishes
to stand well in his profession. All
three things woman learns to do
in addition to the pleasure and benefit
she gets from the broad reading and
excellent diction.
This training, together with her
command of English, fits her for al
most any position her inclinations may
suggest. Should she not wish to prac-
| tice in court her full knowledge as to
the forms and procedures. as we'll as
| the technical terms to be used makes
| her absolutely efficient and capable as
a lawyers clerk or a court stenCg-
rapher.
Besides said Dean Green, diff
| culties are not taken into courts as
| they formerly were. Today the effort
CATION. Large corporations hire law
yers to keep them out of trouble and
a woman lawyer can do office work
as well as man.
THE women who have come over
here have been good students and it
! is not because they work harder. In
