later certain denominations ad- mitted women to their theologi- cal schools but denied them or dination.
 This was, of course, away back in the 18th Century. In time the Universalist denomination ad- mitted women to their theologi- cal schools and granted them ordination when they graduated. During this century women were even granted the privilege of taking their college theological course at home and upon success fully passing an. examination were presented with a license permit ting them to preach from the pulpit. In the due course of time they were ordained to the minis try.
 It is indeed an honor and a privilege to present at this time a brief biography of one of our neighbors of the opposite sex who has devoted many years of her life to the ministry. She is Rev. Hannah Gertrude (Roscoe) Coe.
 Hannah Roscoe was born at Leeds, Yorkshire, England, on June 23rd 1877. She is the daugh- ter of the late Tom and Elizabeth (Sykes) Roscoe. Her father, a native of Corby, Yorkshire, Eng land, died at Medford. Massa- chusetts, in 1922. He was a distinguished minister, and, a physician. Her mother, who was a native of Leeds, her birthplace, passed to her reward. at Sutton, Massachusetts, in 1927. She has one brother, Albert Roscoe, of Medford, Massachusetts, and one sister, Mrs. Florence Fisher. widow of the late Rev. Oren D. Fisher. Mrs. Fisher is now resid- ing at Millbury, Massachusetts.
 Hannah Roscoe received her primary education in private schools at Leeds and Manchester, England, and in the public schools at Chelsea, Roxbury and Summerville, Massachusetts, here in New England. She had come to America with her parents in 1885. After finishing the grade schools she decided to study for the ministry, following in the footsteps of her dad. Due to the fact that her mother was an in- valid she was obliged to take her college theological course at home. She was aided in her in- structions by her father who was then taking postgraduate course in the Crane school at Tufts College.
 When her father was subse- quently called to serve as pastor in a church at Rochester, Ver- mont, she went along as his as- sistant for three years. Tn 1897, upon the transfer of her father to a church at Enfield, New Hampshire, she successfully passed an examination, in Enfield, and was granted a license for lay preaching.
 Although she liked her profess sion quite well Miss Roscoe then decided to take a years course in nursing in the Mary Hitch cock hospital, at Hanover. New Hampshire. While a student nurse she contracted typhoid fever at the hospital. Upon her re- coyery she again turned to the ministry responding to 6 call from the UnivefSalist church at Feich- vile, Vermont. Here she took an- other rigid examination and sue. ceeded in passing with high hon.

CLEVELAND DILLON
in PRIMARY RACE
MAKES ANNOUNCEMENT FOR
POSITION OF CONSTABLE
FIRST DISTRICT

Cleveland Dillon, member of the
Key West Fire Department, today
announces as candidate for the
office of constable in the first
district of Monroe county.
Mr.. Dillon has had a wide ex-
perience as an officer of the law,
he points out to the voters. For
eight years he was a member of
the police force, five years a
deputy sheriff and also con-
stable.
AS deputy sheriff he was with
the late Sheriff Roland Curry and
served during a period when the
office was one of the busiest in
the state. He was appointed by
Governor John Martin as con-
stable in the first district to fill
out the unexpired term of Dalbert
Bethel, and was later elected to
the office, resigning during the
tenure of Governor Carleton.
Mr.. Dillon feels that his expert
ence in different divisions of law
enforcement in Monroe county
fits him to fill the office to which
he aspires, to the complete salts
faction of the government and
those from whom he is soliciting
support.
He promises, if elected. he will
devote his time to the execution
of the requirements of the office
in such a manner as to retain the
respect of the citizens of Monroe
county.
