meeting, to be held irls the Landlord
and Tenant Court of the Municipal
Courthouse Building.
Charles A.. Zinn, counsel to the
House Committee on Revision Of
Laws, who is associated with the
New York firm of Halpin g. Keogh,
will come from New York to address
thesmeeting. Representative Eugene
Keogh of the New York firm has
prepared the preliminary draft Of
the Judicial and Criminal Codes
for the purpose of their revision,
hoping to simplify some and to abol-
ish others whose purpose has been
obsolete for many years.
Representative Keogh cited as an
example of obsolete laws, still re-
tanned on the statute books of the
District of Columbia one that was
put into effect in 1871 during the
reign of King George II of England.
This regulation stated that all laws
should be recorded in English, not
in French or Latin. Violation of this
law called for fine of $l33. Another
law which was made seven centuries
ago in the time of Henry III of Eng
land stated that widow might re-
main in the chief home of her hus-
band for 40 days following his death.
If the home were castle and the
widow departed from it, a competent
house must be provided for her"
Representative Keogh called at
tention to humorous incident which
occurred at the time of the visit of
King George and Queen Elizabeth
to Washington a few years ago. He
proposed that an ancient law, which
directed that certain cases be re-
ferred to the King of England, be
removed from the books. The resolu-
tion was unanimously adopted the
day after the British sovereigns ar
rived and fellow members of Con-
gress jokingly accused Mr.. Keogh of
requesting the resolution because
he was Irish"

Women in National Affairs
Bar association VIII Act
ON Move to Revise LatVs
By Gretchen Smith
Women's Club Editor.

American women have always
participated in national affairs from
the time that Molly Pitcher manned
a gun at the Battle of Monmouth
and Betsy Ross designed the nag
up to the present, with women Rep
resentatives In Congress and one q
member OF the cabinet. But never
perhaps, IN the country's history
have such large groups OF the fem
mime population given so much
study to questions of international
and domestic concern as they are
during these crucial days.
In q recent address before the
Women's National Press Club AM
baSsador Plaza of Ecuador COM
mented: "The fact that your Ma
tion can conduct a presidential
election while you are fighting a war
proves that the democratic system
works"
Women should be given consider
able credit for helping the national
machinery carry on during these
times, when millions of men are out
OF the country, and it is interesting
to note that professional and busi-
ness women are lending their voices
In increasing numbers to discussions
which until recent years were left to
the male sex.
Among organizations which are
stepping up activities in matters of
legislation and international issues
are the Women's Bar Association,
the League of Women Voters and
the American Association of Uni
versity Women.
One of the most important meet
ings Of the District Women's Bar
Association will be held at pm.

tion's Committee on Local Practice

Goodson Expresses
His Appreciation

Appreciation was expressed today
by Elmore GoodsOn, Sinclair agent at
Lincolnton, for the fine turnout and
great interest shown in the Sinclair
farm meeting November 28.
1T is very gratifying to find that
our efforts to help ease the farm la
Dor problem met such general appro-
VAL" Mr.. Goodson said
The American farmer is still faced
with the worlds biggest agricultural
job and he is out to do it. Farmers
have contributed NIGHTLY to the war
effort of the United States and our
Allies.
THE farmer deserves whole-hearted
support from all of US. We hope our
farm meeting and the ideas presented
there will serve to Tighten the job for
many farmrs.
MANY requests have been received
for copies of the folder describing
Farm Work Simplilfcation,' Mr..
Goodson states, but copies are still
available for those farmers who are
interested"

SALE OF SEALS
IS COMMENCED
State Tuberculosis Association
Launches Annual Christ
mas Campaign.

Raleigh, Nov 26-North Cardinals
State tuberculosis Association and
the 40 local committees throughout
the state today launched the 1914
Christmas seal sale, marking the 10th
anniversary of the sale of the first
Christmas seal, it is announced by
Frank Webster. executive secretary
of the North Carolina tuberculosis
Association.
This week citizens will receive their
1914 seals through the mail and will
be asked to contribute more this year
than ever before toward the voluntary
fight to control and eradicate tuber-
culosis. The drive will continue until
Christmas. North Cardinals goal is
S215,000.
In announcing the simultaneous
opening today of the Christmas seal
sale in every state in the nation, DR..
Kendall Emerson, managing director
of the National tuberculosis AssOcia-
ton, warned that an increase in the
tuberculosis death rate in 81 states |
during 1914 may portend general
wartime and postwar rise in the Incl
dence of tuberculosis unless every eff
fort is made now to bring the disease |
under control.
DR.. Emerson commented that, while |
the death rate in the nation declined
nearly per cent as compared with |
1912, there was an average increase !
of per cent increase in 21 states.
The higher mortality was evident par
ticularly in industrial states, he said.
Changed living conditions, the reloca-
tion of population because of the de-
mands of war industry, and long hours
on the Job by defense workers are
cited as factors in the disquieting up
swing.

But of all the regions of this great land, nature

State College Hints
To Farm Homemakers

Most fire losses are due to care
lessness. They can be prevented but
you can't leave it to the other fellow
to prevent. Disconnect the electric iron
before you leave it. Be careful with
matches and smoking. Store gasoline
and kerosene in clearly marked metal
containers. Clear out old paper, maga-
zines, rags, furniture and rubbish.
Deliver paper and rags to local sal
wage committees.
Whenever possible choose fared
lamp shade in preference to drum
shaped shade A flared shade spreads
the light over wider area for better
see-ability, whereas a lrrlm-shape
"hugs" the light around the base Of
the lamp.
A pot of parsley on the window sill
is not only useful for seasoning win
ter dishes, but decorative as well be-
cause of its bright green curly leaves.
OF all the seasoning herbs, parsley is
the easiest to grow indoors.
Take up a plant from the garden,
Clip off the larger leaves. Plant in
rich, well-drained soil-one part sand
to three parts good garden loam
Keep the transplanted plant in the
shade and we'll watered for several
days until it starts growing. Then give
it sunshine and regular watering.
Parsley gives an especially fine fla
vor to meats, soups and egg dishes II
it is chopped and then heated mo-
ment in little fat.
