NO ROAD WORK FOR WOMEN
Also Are Not Subject to Jury Duty
Says Attorney General.

Qualifed women electors are
not subject to road duty in Miss
issippi, neither are they subject to
jury duty. Both of these ques-
tons have been presented to the
attorney general and both have
been settled so far as that depart
ment is concerned. In a letter re-
ceived few days ago from JUS
tice of the peace it was stated that
certain women had been summon
ed to answer before the justice for
failure to report for road duty af-
ter notice. The attorney general
advises that the service required
for road duty is statutory and that
the statute to date only applies to
males of certain ages and certain
physical qualifications.
AS to jury duty, the question
was settled several weeks ago in
an opinion of the attorney general
written to Lauderdale county,
where women were being summon
ed for jury duty. The constitu-
tion only provides that jurors
must be qualified electors, it does
not say that qualified electors shall
necessarily serve as jurors. The
statute provided that jurors shall
be male citizens" who are quail
fed electors, etc.
1t thus appears that women as
qualified electors under the fed
eral amendment are not required
to perform road duty or jury duty
in this state except by statute. The
question of changing the statute
so as to include women will doubt
less come up before the next leg
islature, but it is believed that the
chivralous Mississippians will be
willing to continue to shoulder
these burdens without Harvesting
up their women.

The middle of the first week of
the Y. w. G. A. Camp at Lake Sid
ney McLaurin formerly known as
the cold Country Club" proves
the undertaking even more of a
success than was anticipated.
Forty Girls Reserves, with chape-
rome, director and councillors are
enjoying a wonderful outing.
Each day is full of the activities
that appeal-swimming, hiking,
woodcraft study, rest and good
eats. Miss Iseral, the Director re-
ports that the spirit of the girls
is ideal. Everybody is helping to
make it a good time for everyone
else.
Wednesday night the feature"
stunt was a fancy dress party.
Some of the creation and imper-
sonations were worthy of the
screen. And when it is remem-
bered that there were no attics
nor other sources of supplies for
the costumes, the results were
marvellous. Circus freaks, hula
dancers, Spanish senoritas, dudes,
and many other characters ap-
peared in the parade to the be-
wilderment of the Judges, who
had to award honors to five in
stead of three, so clever were
they.
Only one thing has interrupted
the tranquility Of the Camp. That
is the occasional private picnic
party, persons who do not under
stand that the owner of the prop
erty has given the use of the Lake
and grounds EXCLUSIVELY to
the Y. w. C. A. for the month of
August. Attention is again called
to the fact that the Y. w. is to be
the only users of the place during
this month. The reason for this
seeming exclusion of those who
have been in the habit of awaiting
themselves of this poular spot can
be readily understood. It is hoped
that no one will be greatly disap-
pointed if the ruling interferes
with contemplated outing, but
Col. McLaurin insists that it shall
be private grounds for the Y. w
c. A. and their guests for the pc
Rod of their camp, which is the
rest of this month.
