caliber, from the way they demon
strated their ability in the short prac-
tice received. Quite number of the
Normal school boys are away on a
trip at present and will not return I'M
til the end of the week. 1t is ex-
pected that some of these fellows
will make their appearance on tho
floor as soon as they have finished
their work in Letcher county.

"Now homework is diminishing to
such an extent that many women, if
they are to work at all, must go to
the Office or the factory" said Miss
Laughlin.
SIN the beginnings of the profess
sions women did not make much Of
showing. They practiced medicine
in the actual care of the sick. But
medicine, as a profession, was linked
in primitive times with tribal leader
ship and with priestcraft to such an
extent that it belonged almost entirely
to men.
ut has been only in the last few
years that women were admitted to
our medical schools of any standing.
And the few women physicians before
the war had little or no real practice.

Father may be the court of appeals,
but she is on the bench all day.
Every day mother has to decide and
act according to her decisions. And
woe unto her if she is an unjust judge.
"In the New England town where
I was brought up" continued Miss
Laughlin, ''the progress of modern in
vention did not touch us for long
time. The industrial revolution, which
took from the home so much Of It's
drudgery, had not reached there when

is, the women did this work.
every man who is working in an
electric light plant is doing the work

SIN the Philippine islands, where the
basis of the family System was the

family and of the business"
Cooking, homemaking and dress
making are still done in the homes
all over the country to such an extent
that they are still considered wOmen's
work, Miss Laugblin pointed out. But
with community housekeeping and
community kitchens and ready-made
clothes, the day may come when the
men in charge of the machines that
make the home go round will say:

jobs in cooking! Cooking is mans
job and woman's place is the parlor."
AS Il matter of fact, there probably
are highly paid chefs today who feel
just that way about it.
The situation was getting to the
point where there was no place for
the women in the working world to
go but out There are even some eX-
tremists who believe that the care of
children should be taken out of the
home and away from the mothers
hands.
1T is here the clinging vine gets
into the picture" said Miss Laughlin.
"She developed as a dollhouse plant,
because there was nothing much for
her to do Industry had been moved
from the home. Woman's place was
still in the home, but there was moth
Ing for her to do. Often the mothers
of these idle girls were responsible for
their parasitism, because they had had
to work so very hard themselves that
their ideal for their daughters was a
condition which would make 1t pos
sible for them to do nothing harder
than sit on cushion and sew fine
seam.
"But the swing backward toward
primitive standards, when woman was
worker, to the cave man period If
you choose made long sweep during
the war Women had been seeping
into the professions and businesses
before that time. but their progress
had been almost imperceptible,
"Thus old-time efficiency, inherited
from their Industrious grandmothers,
no doubt, asserted itself with their new
wartime jobs. Employers were salts.
fed and clients made happy. SO the
women are staying with their new
work"
According to Miss Laughlin, there
isn't anything disastrous in the situa-
ton. She believes that there is plenty
of work to be done for both men and
women in industrial and professional
lines.
Efficiency and work are NOT mat
tiers of SEX" is her dictum.
Miss Laughlin is far from the "cave
woman" in looks, but she is endowed
with vigor Of mind and spirit which
would do her cave grandmothers
credit. Miss Laughlin practices low
in San Francisco. She was born in
New England. Her college education
was secured at Wellesley and she was
graduated in law from Cornell uni

Miss Laughlin went to San Francisco
and there she has built up a large law
practice. At first her clients were
nearly all women. But the war added
men to the list. And these men, who
went to her first because their former
counsel had gone to war, have found
the woman lawyer so competent that
they retained her even when the maa
