Mr. Mackall is now busy with the

Before this is definitely decided on,

this information have already been
sent out.
Funds for the new work will be

by the counties in which the work is
done. In addition, Sl50,000 has been

BOIS FINDS AMERICAN
WOMEN ARE DIFFERENT

CHICAGO-The woman marched
down the street as If she owned the
town. Jules Bois, president of the
French society Of Physical Research,
said in an address here recently.
"She really feels superior TO men,"
he added. 81 was astounded when
came to America a few weeks ago. In
Europe, Freud declared, women are
handicapped by an inferiority com.
plex that is. they feel u difficulty when
competing in the world OF men.
That may be true in Europe, but
1t certainly is not true here. They
have what would describe as the su.
periority complex. Women here will
go far"
Noises made by the elevated trains
coupled with the general love for
jazz music and entertainments on the
part OF modern girls were reasons
given by NJ. Bois for the dearth Of

WOMEN HALTED
IN DRIVE UPON
COUNTY OFFICER
Assistant Attorney General
Tells Circulators Tha at
Freezing Has Data on
County Officers Conduct
in Office.

Circulation of petitions aimed agains,
machinery Of the attorney generals Of
leading women Of Ardmore, was tenn
porarily halted at least Tuesday noon
upon suggestion Of Assistant attorn-
ey General Elmer Fulton. M
'"Cne thing at time" the Assistant
Attorney General is said to have ad-
vised. He told those behind the move
ment that he feared the petitions
would only muddy the water" just
now, in view of the fact that all the
machinery Of the attorney generals Of
flee was directed in another direc-
ton.
"The Attorney General has data con-
corning the county attorneys office
at hand now and anything else would
have little effect" General Fulton
said. He declared that his suggestion
was in no wise an attempt to stop any
movement launched by Ardmore peo-
pie, but was merely looking toward
the timeliness OF the matter.
Two Petitions Circulated
Two petitions were being circulated
at the time Of the action. One was
directed to Mr.. Mathers himself, ask
ing that he resign, and the other
was TO the Attorney general asking
that action be taken looking toward
Mr.. Mather's removal. All OF the So
licltation was being done by women
and from reports coming to the Ard
moreite the women were meeting with
spectacular success. One woman re-
ported that of those she approached,
only one refused TO sign.
The movement was the first con.
certed action taken here by women
relative to the 'clean up" campaign.
and its effectiveness is attested by
the fact that it called for immediate
retaliation by Mr.. Mathers himself
who issued r bulletin defending his
connection with the jury box EXPOSE"
Of last week.
Not Government League
The Ardmoreite was unable to get
full list of women circulating the
petitions. 1t is declared from all quar-
ters, however, that the work was not
that af the Good Government League
as an organization. Some of the wo-
men circulating petitions were mem
bers Of that organization, however.
Mrs Walter NJ. Young. president of
the Women's Good Government
League, stated today noon that the
league as an organization was not
circulating the petitions. "If any
member is doing this they are acting
as individuals" Mrs. Young stated,
ito my knowledge the league. as an
organization is not"
1t has been rumored for some time
that there was a sentiment here for
the removal Of the county attorney.
Numerous telephone calls and let.
ters have gone from Ardmore to the at
| torney generals office.
