Army Officers Will
 Make Inspection of
 Wilson Dam Today
By Associated Press


 Florence, January 1s.-Army offi- cers in charge of the governments property at Muscle Shoals were ad- vised today that Gen. Harry Taylor. assistant chief of engineers, and Col. Hugh L. Cooper, consulting engineer. would arrive here tomorrow for an inspection of Wilson dam and other units of the latent war project.
 Washington, January 1s.-The visit of Brig. Gen. Harry Taylor, assistant chief of army engineers, and Col. Hugh l.. Cooper, of the engineer corps. to Muscle Shoals tomorrow was declared by Secretary Weeks today not to be related in any way to the offers before the war department for the lease or sale to private interests of the nitrate and water power projects.
 "The officers are going on reg ular tour of inspection of army en- gineering projects" the Secretary said. The purpose of their visit is entirely unrelated to the offer of Mir Ford or the others for the properties.
 General Taylor had contemplated beginning the inspection tour some time ago, but was compelled to delay until he concluded his testimony be- fore a congressional committee. The fact that the tour begins at this time has no significance whatever"

 This is what Mrs. Lucien c. Brown has to say about whether women should serve as jurors, and whether she thought they would be chicken hearted"
 Women are as capable of judging guilt or innocence as man is. If didn't think so, I'd have mighty poor opinion of women. The sooner Alabama women are given the places. the sooner we will be getting better jury decisions"

 No-no one had called, but a gem tleman had rung up three times, an- xious to get news of Miss Camille.
 Her heart beat fast at this am nouncement. Hope grew high.
 Disappointment seized her, how ever, when it transpired that the persistent gentleman was merely one of her "betss noires."
 No one of the name of Glyn had teiephoned..
 Was he never going to forgive her distrust of him? change7
 Had he ever really loved her, or had it merely been holiday flirta- ton? CMen enjoyed that sort of thing. She had flirted in the past herself, out this had been "au grand serieux.")
 Or had Reggie interfered?
 But Elliot Glyn was no credulous fool. to believe the tales of such as Reggie? He would take them at their worth. and understand tho Doy N Jealousy.
 That reduced the case to the in- difference basis.

 But the fourth day after her re- turn from Paris. fate ordained that the two should meet again. Camille had been bidden to a dinner party She had hesitated whether or no to accept. and then decided that even being bored was preferable to an evening by herself. where she would brood over past events.
 So she had donned severe little evening frock of black chiffon vel vet. miraculously we'll cut on slim nest lines. Her sole adornment was a crimson rose.
 She looked extremely pretty. rather pale and pensive. and ridiculously young.

ARE WOMEN ELIGIBLE
 TO SERVE AS JURORS
 IN JEFFERSON COUNTY
(Continaed from Page One)

the law now stands. Under its pres ent provisions the jury law applies only to men and a special act by the legislature will be necessary to include women as jurors"
 William J. Waldrop. clerk of the circuit court, and M. E. Morris, chair man of the Jefferson county board of registrars, expressed similar views.
 Jury Duty Compulsory
 In discussing the question of women serving on the juries of Jefferson county many persons versed in po- litical affairs expressed doubts as to whether any appreciable number of the women of the county really want ed that privilege.
 In the first place they pointed out that while the exercise of the suf- frage Is a matter of choice, once they become liable for jury duty, and are not in the exempted class, they will have to serve on the jury when sum moned whether they want to or not
 Th.s means that every woman in the county between the ages of 2l and 65, whether registered or not
 
 called upon. be they housewife or business woman, and from this duty there is no legal excuse, except the exemptions as provided for by law.
 No man can evade jury duty by falling to pay his poll tax, and should the duty be extended to women neither can they.
 Eager to Serve
 Mrs. Richard F. Johnston wants to see women on Birmingham and state 1uries. She is president ofithe League of Women Voters
 In this, she Is backed up by Mrse. John R. Hornady, president of the Drama league and wife of former commissioner.
 Says the latter:
 Women have equally as good judg- ment as men, and while there are some cases which might be distaste- ful. I am sure women could be de- pended upon not to shirk when they we're called upon to do their duty as jury citizens.
 While capital punishment is a dreadful thought, l can think of cases in which l could not cast my vote for anything else"

 The blood seemed to rush to her heart and her pretty face grew paler than before.
 He turned to speak to her. There was no hint of embarrassment on his side. Indeed, he had seen her the moment she entered the drawing room. and was prepared for a con tingency such as this.
 'So you're back in London. I thor oughly enjoyed the highland visit. Mrs. Mortimer-how is she?"
 So banal was his conversation that had she not had those throbbinE memories-it almost seemed to Camille as though she and he were strangersl
 Her answers were mechanical. But she was glad that she could speak at all, for her tongue clove to the roof of her mouth, and her lips felt dry.
 She turned to her own partner, and forced herself into a gay bandiage that was mockeryi so miserable was she.
 It seemed like years, but was in reality only an hour later. that Elliot Glyn entered the drawinEroom and made his way to her side,
 Her heart beat, then, almost to suffocation. There was something he would tell her-an explanation of his silence-everyth would be cleared up. surely-why, of course, it musti
