Cleveland. Ohio, Dec. 22.-Adop- ton of efficient, business-1ike meth ods in the courts and a more active and general interest in their function ing are seen by Judge Florence E. Allen as the means to speed up jus tice and do away with the laws de- lays.
 Miss Allen is the first woman in the world to be elected to a court of last resort, at least since that day long past when Portia apportioned even handed justice to the high, the mid dle and the low. In attaining her new position she continues her pre- record. The CleYe- land woman has been first in so many things that blazing new paths has become to her merely routine. She was:
 The first woman to act as a fu1-fledged prosecutor in the Com mon Pleas courts of Ohio.
 2-The first woman to practice be- fore any department in Washington.
 3-The first woman to be elected a Common Pleas Judge in the United States and, as such,
 4-The first woman to sentence convicted murderer to the electric chair.
 And last, the first woman to be elected to a court of last resort-the Ohio Supreme court-which position she will take on January l.
