WOODROW WILSON IN COURT

lIJHEN Woodrow Wilson arp, area in the
w Supreme Court Of the District "f Column
bia on Saturday to be- admitted ~ practjro
in that court many persons we're rcmindcd
that he was a lawyer.
He had an office in Atlanta for about a
year, but when no clients came he abandoned
the Law and began tO teach. Theodore RooSc
welt was also LAWYER, but when he got no
clients he did not begin to teach He did
not have to. for he had an independent for
tune. Instead he devoted himself to public
service.
Yet If Roosevelt we're still alive he might
practice before the supreme Court Of IA"
Federal district along with Wil9on TNo
rules Of that court proyido that n lawyer
must have pructred his uroto,~ion for nv"
years before he may plead Il cn~" in il. II
modified its rules a few days ago, however,

who enter it to exert all their energies to

in. The whole course is required but II
differs from such courses offered to tho
freshmen in the universities in that no ono

So Mr.. Wilson is undoubtedly as well

HARVST HOME SUPPER

The Ladies' Auxiliary of Simpson
NJ. Z. church met with splendid
success both socially and financially
last night at their Harvest Supper
in the lecture room of the church.
Guests NUMBERING nearly 200 were
served with the delicious menu and
a substantial sur was realized to
add TO the auxiliary fund.
Candles at each table cast a soft
glow over the attractive decorations
os yellow and white. Bouquets of
marigolds graced each table while
cornstalks and autumn leaves pro-
fusely decorated all hooks and cor
ners of the room.
A candy booth built of a yellow
and white lattice work and entwined
with leaves and autumn flowers &C.
cupied the immediate front of the
room, from which box after box of
homemade candy was disposed of
during the evening. Two members
from the auxiliary ably presided
over each of the nine tables which
were filled again and again, until
all had been satisfied with the temp
ting dishes. Not one of the crowd
late and ram as the saying goes,
but all stayed to participate in a
genial social hour. The women who
worked for supper deserve great
credit for their efforts especially the
chairmen, who were Mrs. William
Van Pelt. chairman of the dining
room and decorations. Mrs. Levinia
Rankin and Mrs. Arthur Hope, chair
men OF the kitchen, Mrs. John
Smith. chairman of the candy booth
with Mrs. A. B. Mcdowell and Mrs.
