WOODROW WILSON
SEEKS POSITION
IN GREENVILLE

Pretty, petite, blond, with big
blue eyes, and bewitchingly de-
mure little smile, Woodrow Wilson,
age 16, from Abbevile, walked into
the Office of the Young Mems Busi-
ness League today and asked for a
position as stenographer. Woodrow
Wilson claims to be an expert
stenographer, in spite of being only
sixteen. Woodrow is girl.
- She says that she was named af-
ter her grandmother, and added
that plenty of people are named af-
ter their grandmothers. The fact
that her grandmother happened to
be named Woodrow Wilson, and
TINT the twenty-sixth President of
the United States also happens to
he named Woodrow Wilson, did not
strike Miss Wilson as being worthy
of particular note. Ihere are
doubtless several thousands boys,
born between 1912 and 1920 name
Woodrow wilson Smith and Jones
and Brown, but Greenville chal-
lenges any city to show real live
pretty girl born in 1904, and named
Woodrow Wilson, after her grand
mother.
Miss Woodrow Wilson, 49, came
to Greenville short time ago to
secure a position. She is living at
31S College street, and says that
she is sure to get a position before
very long. She registered at the
Young Mems Business League, and
anyone wishing to have Woodrow
Wilson on his pay roll is requested
to notify secretary Moss E. PENN

considerable other legislation would
be squeezed in"
1t was also said that there prob
ably would be short holiday recess
about December % over New Years
day and that he principal work of
the session would come after the
holidays.
Arrangements also were made to-
day for resumption of numerous
congressional investigations sus-
+pended in part or wholly during the
recess.
1t was indicated that no trea-
ties, except the Colombian
treaty now on the senate
celendar, would receive early con-
sideration. Hundreds of nomina-
tions, including recess appointments
are expected to be sent to the SEN
ate by President Wilson within a
few days. All are to be referred to
committees with sentiment strong
among Republican leaders for mac
tion on all important appointments,
leaving the Offices to be filled by
the incoming administration.
Of the mass of new bills and reso-
lutions introduced in the house to-
day only a few were of general i'm
portance. All of them and thousands
from preceding sessions will die un-
less enacted before March 4.
Would Exempt Bonds

today was a bill by Representative
Osborne, Republican,, (0alifornia,)
to exempt all Liberty and Victory
bonds from taxation.

North Dakota), introduced reso-
luton to provide for an immediate
embargo on wheat.

luton requesting congress to an
nounce to the world that president
Wilson in dealig with the Armenian
question was not in any way obliga-
ting this government to use its land

resources.
