to women in their professional life,
partly because 1t develops certain

Mrs. Reed also owes much of her
public spirited interests to her civic
minded mother, who was the first
woman to serve as vice president of
the Lincoln Park Citizens Associa-
ton. Like mother, like daughter
held true in this instance, for Mrs.
Reed was an active member of this
association for years before she
moved recently from Capitol Hill.
Shortly after she won her legal
degree she married Leroy E. Reed,
Philadelphia attorney, who had re-
Gently graduated from Georgetown
University and who at one time
served as secretary to Associate JUS
tice James C. McReynolds, now re-
tired, when he was Attorney Gen.

1t was not until her husbands
death that Mrs. Reed began to prac-
tice her profession-and then she
entered the field via the route Of
banking. Her first position was as
secretary in the old Commercial Ma
tional Bank.
In 1924, however, she became asso-
ciated with the Lincoln National
Bank as a member of it's legal staff
and by 1887 was elevated to the po-
sition of assistant trust ofhcer-the
first woman lawyer to hold such a

With her father, Doris planned to
return to Philadelphia late last

said. Il do miss it-though it's

Cites Examples.
The speaker cited examples of
talking" which would be of interest
to enemy ears. She told of one
young woman who thoughtlessly
remarked that her husband was
leaving the following week for Ire
land. When asked how she knew,
the woman answered she had been
told the next outfit to leave her
husbands station was to 60 to Ire
land. AS he had written he was
leaving in few days, she assumed
it would be for Ireland and had
frankly announced that fact in the
company of several people.
eff the enemy had been in that
gathering, it would have been simple
for him to find out what troops
were leaving. He would have known
the time of their departure and their
destination" the speaker pointed
out.
Another example of careless talk
Ing related by Mrs. Blair was that
of an officer and civilisn discussing
important military matters on bus.
She told how an officers wife riding
behind them warned them of their

The speaker explained that code

"It is similar to the censorship
rode released for the press" she ex-

ers, unable to supply the demand
because OF rationing at the mines,
are hopeful that the six-day work

Production may be increased to
a point where relief might be given
u.s." A. P. Brown, chairman of the
coal division of the Merchants and

What the permanent program will
be I don't know, but we have ration
ing now. The demand for hard
coal here is greater than the supply"
Mr.. Brown made this comment as
Solid Fuels Administrator Ickes an
nounced appointment of a national
anthracite industry committee to
help assure equitable distribution OF
the available supply Of hard coal.
Anthracite Is now being dis
tributed under a temporary pro-
gram, inaugurated in late June,
which Is designed to give each COM
munity hard coal in proportion to
the amount it received in the COM
parable period last year. Mr.. Ickes
said that after September l per-
manent program would be instituted.
Factors to be considered would in
clude changed demands due to war
time population shifts and addi-
tional coal required for conversions
from oil.
Mr.. Brown pointed out that the
District areas increased population,
as we'll as conversions, should make
possible increased supplies for the
area, provided production is stepped
up at the mines. s.
The local supply comes from Penn
