HER CAREER MARKED
BY ACHIEVEMENTS.
Early in life Mrs. Bird was
stirred by a discomfort regarding
the position OF women in the affairs
OF the world, which condition she
set about trying to bring more in
line with her ideas of what
woman's sphere should be. In this
way she soon came to be regarded
as one of the pioneers in the "eman-
cipation of women" or the extern
sion of their spheres Of Influence.
II you prefer. Her career has
been marked In many noteworthy
achievements in civic and political
work. But II Is rather certain that
she never suspected such a career
as has been hers
In appearance she Is very strik-
ing with her lovely, soft white hair
and bright dark eyes, which look
the darker for the contrast.
She lives In East Walpole. Mass.
where she has resided since her
marriage and where her husbands
family has lived since the latter
part of the eighteenth century.
Francis William Bird, her FIRST
son, died a victim to the "flu" cpl
demfc three years ago. He took an
active interest in politics in New
York City and was chiefly instru-
mental In the election of Mitchell
for mayor. He was a law partner
OF Elihu Root, tr., and was later
appointed appraiser at the Port Of
New York. At the time Of his
death he was the publisher Of the
Boston Advertiser.
The second son. Charles Sumner
Bird, jr.. is in charge OF the Chicago
branch of the business of Bird and
Son. During the war he served as
a captain overseas. He too, Is in
terested in civic affairs and has re-
| Gently published book on town
government.
The two beautiful and charming
daughters are married. one of whom
is the wife of former Governor Bias.
Of New Hampshire, and the other
is Mrs Arthur Johnson, of Boston.
The husband-he certainly should
have been mentioned earlier-is
president OF Bird and Son. paper
manufacturers. He also has felt the
civic and political call. In 1912
1913 he was the progressive candi-
date for governor of Massachusetts
NINE. DE BIsPING CHARMING
GRANDMOTHER FROM POLAND.
Speaking OF grandmothers-the
has been another delightful one So
journing here for a few weeks
This one came from Warsaw. Po-
land. and If her advice Is needed
there will be more grandmothers in
the United States. for Madame
Helene de Bisping believes that
America should have more descend
ants OF the early Americans-"the
real Americans" she calls them.
Everyone was charmed with this
Polish woman who was born a
countess, but who prefers the
simple title of Madame She is so
very spontaneous and hospitable-
in fact she was so much so that she
almost exhausted one of the Off
Gals at the clubhouse OF the Asso-
citation of University Women. Every
time Madame de Bisping saw her
she would shake hands in the most
cordial fashion-even If it were
three score times a day.

WILL CARRY FIGHT
TO GAS COMPANY
Counsel for City leave
for Guthrie Next
Monday Night

city Attorney Frank Il. Duncan
and 4. j. Biddison OF the law firm
OF Blddlson & Campbell expect TO
leave next Monday night for Guthrie
to participate in the fight against the
oklahoma Natural Gas companys
attempt to increase its rate. l.. j.
Eurt, city attorney and r. b..
Keenan, are to represent the city OF
sanulpa and will Join their efforts
with those of Tulsa attorneys. AL
though it is not definitely known by
CIV Attorney Duncan, he expects
Chrcmore to also send a legal rep
Tescntative.
When Judge Cottrell of the West b.
em oklahoma District Federal court
granted the oklahoma Natural re-
gtraiuing order against the corpora
tlou commission he knocked out the
accent rate that existed In Tulsa.
he also allowed a 2O-cent increase.
which gave the Oklahoma Natural a
rate of 62 cents a thousand cubic
feet This order was for a ten day
period, and at the end of that period
was renewed.
The case at Guthrie next Tuesday.
Jan. 3, is for the purpose OF de-
termining whether temporary in
junction shall be issued by Judge
Cottrell against the corporation com
mission. If 1t should be granted,
as the gas company petitions, the
62-cent rate will continue in effect
until such "A time as hearing Is held
20 determine whether it shall be
made the permanent rate.
Tulsa. Sapulpa and Claremore are
the cities In this section of Oklahoma
most vitality interested in the con-
troyersy and of these three, Tulsa
Us the leader because OF its size.
Granting City Attorney Duncan's re-
quest, the mayor and commissioners
last week employed Biddison &
Campbell to assist him on behalf
of the city of Tulsa. At the same
time 1t is APPARENT that Tulsa's VIC
tory or defeat in the coming case
will he shared by Sapulpa and Clare
more.
Blddison of Tulsa and keenan, OF
Sapulpa are considered by other
attorneys, as among the best posted
legal representatives in the state on
the gas question. Biddison assisted
the city of Tulsa and Keenan, the
city OF Sapulpa in the gas fight
several months ago when the cor
poration commission ordered a rate
IN Tulsa OF AZ cents a thousand
cubic feet and a corresponding rate
in other cities and towns supplied
by the Oklahoma Natural,
As the order of Judge Cottrell
reflects against the corporation COM
mission and enjoins It from enforce
ing its prescribed rate, IL appears
probable the commission will be well
represented at the hearing at
Guthrie, and that it will join with
Tulsa, Sapulpa and Claremore in
preventing the Oklahoma Natural
from obtaining an injunction against
thn fnrnnnnnnt Of Tho A o-nnnt ta
