lawyers this State strong sentiment in of abo
ishing Court of Chancey and vesng the equity pow
thereof in law courts which has been done in
all other States the Union, except Delaware, New Jer
sey and North Carolina.
"For years there has existed strong sentiment for
the election of the Judges by the people They
ected in many of the States and this Of selection
has proven satisfactory in those States.
"a constitutional convention would also give our
women new voters, who had in the making of
our present constitution an opportunity to make part of
the fundamental the State those principles of
ernment in which she galy interested and which con-
Germ her status citizen

East Work in wall Street

The Wall street explosion was nota-
BILE In that relief workers Of the Red
Cross were on the scene twenty min
utes after the disaster occurred. The
race riot at Tulsa also was unique In
disaster relief annals In that outside
of small emergency relief fund con-
tributed by the Red Cross, the only
relief measures outside the city con-
sisted of the service Of social work
ers, nurses and a trained executive
whose object was to assist local forces
In directing their own efforts.
In decided contrast with the pre-
vious year, only one tornado assumed
the proportions of a major disaster
This occurred on April 10, in the Dor
der sections Of Texas and Arkansas
with the city Of Texarkana as the
center. The significant feature Of this
disaster relief work was the fact that
It covered so much rural territory as
to make necessary a large number Of
relief workers.
The famine in China, necessitating
relief expenditures totalling more than
81 100000 by the American Red Cross
was by far the most serious Of the
foreign disasters in which the Red
Cross gave aid.
Builds Up Its Machinery

ton Of disaster relief measures, an in
