First Woman Takes Oath
as GoUerF1or of Wyoming

Cheyenne, Wyo.-A climax to more
than 80 years of equal rights for
women in Wyoming came on Monday
when Mrs. Nellie Taylor Ross for
mally took over her duties as gov
ernor of the state.
inaugural ceremonies, Spartan like
IN their severity and simplicity,
marked the induction into office of the
first woman governor of any common
wealth in the United States.
With pledge placing her mental
and physical faculties at the disposal
of the people for the administration
of affairs of state and calling for "di-
vine guidance" to direct her, woman
dressed in mourning for her husband,
the late Gov. William B. Ross, stepped
into the place made vacant by his
death less than three months ago.
Among kilograms received was one
from Mrs. Miriam A. Ferguson of
Texas, who, after January 20, will
share with Mrs. Ross the distinction
of being woman governor.
Rather singularly, the oath of Office
was administered to Mrs Ross by one
of the men-Chief Justice c. N. Pot
ter of the Wyoming Supreme court
who on September 80, 1889, drafted
the clause granting equal rights to
the women of the state.

Chicago.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S annual
review of business in part is as fol-
lows:
The year 1924 was a period of fiuc-
tuating business, with sharp irregu-
larities and contrasts, yet with a dis
tinct gain in activity during the clos
ing months. Political uncertainties,
by causing added conservatism and
hesitation, accumulated the contrac-
ton in trade which had occurred in
various lines, but the result of the
national election in November had a
reassuring and stimulating effect and
brought about decided revival.
The increased confidence that de-
veloped throughout the country was
manifested both in the placing of de-
ferred orders and in the greater will
lingneSs to make forward commit
ments, while the sound basic cOndi-
tons, with the improved financial
status of &the grain farmers, were
regarded as foreshadowing a continu-
alton of the commercial expansion
AS the volume of transactions en-
larged, mill and factory operations,
which in numerous instances had
fallen to low levels during the sum-
mer, began to recover more rapidly,
and the average rate of steel output
had reached So per cent by the end of
December.
The previous curtailment in differ
ent industries had been necessitated
by the disproportion between supply
and demand, but producing facilities
were more fully utilized when buying
subsequently broadened, and many ad-
ditions to working forces were made
With an estimated value of $9,479,-
100000, the farm crops of the United
States in the past year were worth
1888, 100000 more than those of 1923.

FRANCE ASKS 80
YEARS TO PAY u. S.

shington.-France's first actual
diplomatic proposals for a debt settle
ment with the United States reached
Washington and were laid before
President Coolidge and the cabinet.
Though carefully given a semi-offi-
cial status and described as guarded
in tone, still the communication con-
stitutes definite step toward liquida-
ton of the $4,000,O00,OO0 French war
debt.
They were forwarded by Ambassa-
dor Herrick from Paris and were
signed, it is said, By Premier Herriot
and Finance Minister Clementel.
In substance, France hints at a pro-
posal to pay off the debt in about nine
ty years, first stipulating for a ten
year moratorium, and afterward amor
tfzing the obligation at the rate of
one-half of / per cent per annum.
Premier Herriot, it was said, We
hemently denied any intention on
Frances part to repudiate the obliga-
ton.
