GREENSBORO, n. C, November
Mrs. Susan Pruett, 104 years old
bedridden and partially helpless, to-
day was in better spirits than in sew
eral years following her experiences
on Sunday. when she was baptized in
the good old Baptist way in porta-
BILE baptismal pool, which had been
mounted on truck and hauled to
the door of her home in the little
town of Casar, near here.
Doctors had warned her that the
shock of complete immersion would
in all probability cause her death.
Members OF her family tried to dis
suade her from the ordeal. but she
was adamant in her refusal. And
today it appears that her faith had
triumphed, inasmuch as she was
smiling and happy. had seemingly
there was not the slightest trace or
cold or pneumonia.
A thousand people gathered from
all the countryside, crowded about
the pool into which she was lowered
and. as she was lifted out, broke into
a HMM OF rejoicing. in which she

About four months ago Mrs. Pruett

years She is a woman of the pioneer
type and has been the hardest sort
OF a worker all of her life. She
brought up her family to attend
church and. while always active in
humanitarian work, she never her
self enrolled as a member of the rec
ogniZed church.
While lying bed-ridden and helpless
the thought came to her that she de-
sired baptism in the Baptist faith.
She told the members of her family
of this desire. They frowned on ii,
because they feared it might mean
her death. and their objections were
indorsed by the family physician. But
she would not be dissuaded. and she
sent for Rev. J. F. Weathers, pastor

Girls who desire to he in the fash
ion of the "day after tomorrow" must
insist on going Dutch" with the boys
on all parties.
. Mrs. Harvey W. Wiley is authority
for the declaration that the time is
here when a young. woman must not
dream of allowing any young man to
pay for her pleasures. AS one of the
moving spirits of the National Wom-
ans Party and the wife of one Of the
most noted scientists in America, Mrs.
Wiley is anxious to inspire in all
women a real spirit of independence.
The social woods should be cleared
Of the 'clinging vines" In her opin-
ion. They are survivors Of the mid
Victorian era. The women associated
with Mrs. Wiley insist that before
all determinations due to sex can be
removed from the pathway Of women
the latter must quit leaning upon
men in any way.

1t obviously was impossible to take
her TO the baptismal pool in the
church edifice. so the minister de-
vised way of bringing the pool
one similar to it. at least-to her
door. He had canvas vat made and
mounted this on a truck. Then il
was filled half full of water and
hauled to the door of the Pruett
doorstep. Water was heated there
and the temperature raised to body
warmth.
Six men then went into the house
and brought Mrs. Pruett out on
sheet. After that they lowered her
into the water until only her face
was above the surface. The Rev. Mr.
Weathers, reciting meanwhile the
ordinance of baptism, thrust her
head very gently under. so that i'm

the church doctrine. Immediately
thereafter she was carried back into

WOMAN is INVOLVED

Wife of Man Accused of Crime, Re

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, November
Mrs. Ed Bowlen has been arrested
here in connection with the death of
Fred W. Cox, young farmer whose
body was found in field near this
city last Saturday. The arrest fol-
lowed an inspection of premises
around the Bowlen home. blood hav-
ing been discovered at several places.
It is the theory Of the officers that
Bowlen, who is said to have been
jealous of Cox's attentions to his wife,
laid q trap for his victim, shot him
from ambush, hid the body In a storm
field where 1t was discovered. The
woman refuses to make a statement.
Bowlen was arrested Saturday and
is being held without bail.

GIRLS MUST EGO DUTCH" AND NOT
LEAN ON MEN, SAYS MRS. WILEY

tho car fare and to meet the other
expenses incidental to their COM
panionship, is starting life under
great moral handicap. do not
mean that 1t Is wrong for them to
permit this. 1t is true that men
generally have more, money than
women, but this chiefly is because Of
their better opportunities to earn it.
This is an injustice which the
woman's Party hopes to abolish. and
with it, naturally, we must abolish
the suggestion that men should pay
the bills simply because they are
men. The girl who has not thor
oughly rid herself Of that notion is
apt to grow into a wife who will
ask her husband whether she can
buy a new dress.
II don't think it a good plan for
children to be given a large amount
of spending money. but the father
who makes liberal allowance to
his boys and withholds it from his
daughters is contributing to one of
the most vicious Influences in mod
ern life. He IS encouraging the girls
to become parasites and to believe
that it is right to accept favors in
stead of meeting their friends as
friends"
