MISS GENA THOMPSON

Miss Thompson touched upon the OPP
position to woman entering public life
and how things had changed in the 70
years since women started their fight
for the ballot She showed how the
influence of women in all phases of
life had always been for the better
ment of humanity and elevation of
morals and it would be so in politics.
She said the women had a great pro-
gram before them, such as the elinlina-
ton of war, etc. She said that the
women must organize, illus trating her
point with several very humorous and
pertinent stories. She said this orga-i
nization of the women was the Wis
lconsin Women's Progressive Associa-
ton of Wisconsin and constituted the
left wing of the Progressive Party of
Wisconsin. She explained that the
organization would have great weight
in all government affairs when all pro-
gressive women would rally to its
membership, and said they were out
to get $4,000 members in Wisconsin.
We learned yesterday why it is
that some women never nay any at
tention to jazz music. Their husbands
snore in their sleep.
Some foreign governments are
worried over the naval construction
program Of the United States. They
shouldn't be. If they let as alone
wen let them alone, but If they step
on our toes we are apt 70 mildly pro-
test.
in Germany they are said to have
found a way of making print paper
from leaves Of grass. That may work
out in Germany, but if any fellow
should try it here he would soon find
the trust burning up his grass. Moth
ing is permissible in this country that

Other writings from Mir Woods pen are soon to appear.
 There is something about story of woman's struggles against what appears to be unconquerable fate which Is peculiarly fascinating to all readers of fiction. There are only a limited number of authors who can really write this type of story.
 The Bondwoman," Katherine Lei ser Robbins two-part story. which appearded in the first and second September issues of Snappy Stories, is not only an interesting story from beginning to end. but it Is an example of exceedingly fine writing.
 This Is an exceedingly difficult type of story to handle, and It's beauty lays in the fact that it is the work of a master hand. The popu- larity of The Bondwoman" is going to add greatly to- Katherine Leiser Robbins laurels as flctionist.
 Poetry has had it's special place among mankind's needs since the first sunrise Man was inspired to poetical thoughts even before he real ized what those thoughts meant. Poems of life. of thought, of joy and its twin sister, sorrow, are to be found in Albert Rosenthars volume which will appear this winter. Thi s is the second volume of poems which Mir. Rosenthal has had published. His short stories and plays have ap- peared in various magazines. MT. Rosenthal is one of Birmingham s young writers whose work Is rapidly gaining recognition.

 TEACHING STAFF.
Use Half Day Arrangement to Care for Overflow In
 Central City School

Selma, September 1S-(SpeciaL)- Additional teachers in both the gram mar schools and the High school will be secured at once, to take charge of overflow grades in the Selma schools, 1t was announced Saturday by Omer Carmichael, superintendent of city schools, and at the same time 1t became known that the city school board Is at present engaged in in- vestigating means of caring for the 1,642 children in both these schools by providing quarters for new classes. Just what method will be followed in housing the new grades to be formed has not been decided upon, and 1t Is not believed that port able schools will be erected, as is be- ing done in other cities suffering from congested schools.
 Extra grades at the Dallas acad- emy are now being provided in the Lavendar cottage, bought by the school last year with the intention of turning the property itno & play ground, but utilized as teaching space for two grades. Until the completion of these rooms first and second grade pupils at the academy are working on the halliday arrangement, one group reporting for study in the morning and one in the afternoon.
 Increase over last years attend ance at the high school is so, with go pupils enrolled this year. In the elementary grades this increase is 60, with 1.222 children enrolled.
 This increase is indicative of the rapidly growing necessity for a new school building here. In many quar- ters interest is being actively awak- ened in a junior high school build irg, adequate to care for the increase of several years to come.

 And now-?" She half turned away, and glanced coquettishly at him over her shoulder. "Now--?''
 Now I'm so happy that I could sing for joy" came the flattering reply.
 A little silence fell between them.

While Della Desmond had been sit- ting in the theatre at the side of l Farrel Galt, watching the antics of the Spanish dancers and thoroughly enjoying herself, Natalie Duncane had had long. intimate tete-a-tete with Maurice Danby. The news that her uncle would, in all probability, make a good recov- cry had lifted a weight of woe from off her shoulders.
