Count your tiagers and toes and if they are all there you can quietly celebrate that fact. The weather seems a little hot but take a look at crops—so tar it seems just to have been right for them. Mosquitos are so bad at the eastern summer resorts now that some scientist lias suggested wrapping them in cellophane. Don't get discouraged, cooler weather is sure to come to those - who have the patience to wait for it. The list of casualties over the Fourth and Sunday is large but not any larger than was expected. In fact it looks as though most folks are trying to be careful. Federal aid this year is spending a billion and a half dollars to build roads which added to what is being expended by states, counties and townships ought to provide a lot of new miles to the. gallon of gas. In the large cities they are raising funds now to buy ice for the poor people which is probably alright but perhaps not as important as providing fuel in the winter time. It is claimed that African rhino< erous will charge automobiles and wreck them. That may solve a big problem for the American dealers. Why not send our used cars over there. Bill Rogers says that the only be happy is to be satisfied " hly'h is much easier for him with airtncome of a million dollars a year than for those who are slipping"t>a<:kwards and using up their principal. While Decatur merchants did not tlo tno largest business inhistory last week there is no doubt but that they'did more than if they had not made some effort.

Fourth as a community but about every one did so individually. Business ceased, flags were displayed and all day and most of the night ’ there was a display of fireworks . that permitted no one to overlook the fact that we recognized the occasion. Ramsey MacDonald, British prime minister, declared in London on » j the Fourth that the United States 1 is now the greatest nation that ex- ] ists on the face of he earth. That’s > so complimentary that it frightens j us coming from such a source. Per-1 I haps they are going to ask another loan. A very careless man dropped his j cigarette stub in a drug store winIdow at Indianapolis. It touched off a Roman candle that wound up in destruction of the fireworks, the drug store and part of the building with a loss of SB,OOO. The man . ducked and never did come back to make good. i Now the Fourth is over and the shooting of fireworks must cease 1 under the laws and the ruling of Mayor Krick. You have had your chance to explode your enthusiasm and judging from the noise over the • past two or three days about every I one took advantage of it. If you ’ have any left you will have to carry it over until next year. Women of Adams county are 1 warned that the organization of the ' Daughters of the American Constitution is just a slick political trick being pulled off by republican politicians. Os course if you care to join it you have the right to do so but you should do it with the knowledge of just what it is. Republican politicans are again trying to play both ends against the middle. One group claims that President Hoover favors beer as a , tax provider and a relief to the en- i forcement problem while another is 1 organizing the women because of , the President s stand on the i eighteenth amendment. Looks like • one or the other ought to be dis- 1 gusted before the election next year | but they are smooth at getting the ■ vote from both sides and may be j able to pull this one. | o I ♦ — , Lessons In English ♦- * 1 Words often misused: Do not say, T was so tired."

Women Lawyers Defend, Sex in Norris Ouster * * * * * * Removal of New York Woman Magistrate as i Unfit Does Not Discourage Other Fair Ones From Seeking Careers in Law and on Bench. jjT Lena LTj. 2. f Jr ■p iwly b »■ t J X"" KbTHEN&EKG Undaunted by the removal from the bench of Jean Norris, Manhattan's first and only woman judge, six hundred women attorneys of New York are emphatic in their stand that just because one of their sex has been declared unfit there is no reason to believe women generally are not capable of being lawyers and holding high judicial positions of trust. Lena M. Phillips, prominent attorney and international president of the B usiness and Professional Women’s Clubs, says, in speaking of the Norris ouster: “It is unfair of what women will do on the bench. One such isolated case is not indicative of the qualifications of our sex for such a position.” Miss Rose Rothenberg, the first woman in New York to become Assistant District Attorney, is being mentioned for the post from which Mrs. Norris was removed.

New York, —To the six hundred | woman attorneys of New York, the! removal of Jean Norris. Manhattan i removal of Jean Norris, Manhat-! tan's first and only woman judge,' from the bench, is no proof that the’fairer sex larks the impartiality and judicial temperament essential for a jurist. . Tlte Norris dismissal is regarded merely as “extremely unfortunate” a consensus of these women lay. yers shows, and by no means death blow to feminine apirations for public office. The feel, instead, that this is the psychological time for someone to step forward and show] the men just what the “representative” woman can do in the courtroom. They are already urging that another woman be appointed to succeed Mrs. Norris to offset whatever' reaction may have resulted from, her removal. Miss Rose Rothenberg : tile first woman in New York to lie-' come Assistant District Attorney, I is being mentioned for the post as j one woman qualified to administer her ofifee with judicial understanding, justice and mercy. Mrs. Norris’ failure was due to her personal unfitness for a judii ial position and not because she was a woman, according to Lena M. i’hillips, prominent attorney and international president of the Business and Professional Women's Clubs. “It is unfair to call the Norris incident representative of what women will do on the bench,” Miss Phillips said yesterday. “One such isolated case is not indicative of the qualifications of our sex for! such a postion. It appears significant only because there are no other women judges in Manhattan. After all. four other magistrates have also been removed and there is no outcry that men are unfit to sit on the bench. If there were a a proper proportion of both sexes in the judiciary, then only would it be fair to make generalizations ahout women. But to make generalizations about women. But to con-

l detnn the rest of us on the basis of this solitary instance is grossly nnI just.” Tlie very fact that Judge Norris was harsh and unyielding witli the unfortunate women who appeared before her and that her justice was tempered of steel instead of mercy, ' Miss Phillips said, proves that her perswiality was not typically feminine. The average womans intuitive sympathy would, on the contrary, eminently fit iter for the responsibi- [ lit of meting out justice. Dr. Anna Hochfelder, assistant [ corporation counsel, placed the I blame of Mrs Norris downfall to her lack of the qualities comprising jndii ial temperament — kindness, tolerance, broadmindedness and a deep understanding of human na- ( ture. Mrs. Norris’ capability as an atorney is an unimportant factor. Dr. Hochfelder pointed out, since a j knowledge of the law is only a secj ondary requirement for the position | of magistrate. “The anti-feminists .and men who have felt keenly the competition of women in law and business, will undoubtedly crow triumphantly over the Norris case," commented Miss Lm ille Pugh, who has been practicing in tlie New York courts for the past 23 years. “But the truth remains that out West— in Ohio and Washington are women jurists of tlie highest repute and respect, i Their excellence on the bench has long since overcome any prejudice ' against the! rsex. They are by no i means extraordinary. They are sim ! ul/ average sympathetic humane ' | women, proof that Jean Norris is ■| the exception to the rule." i None of the attorneys interview . < d modified their condemnation of H.Mrs. Noris for misusing her posi- ■ tion am) conducting her self to the >' prejudice of othfr women in office, i ( Nor could any of tltein volunteer i an explanation why a woman of Mrs. Norris’ wide experience und -jtiavel should have failed so com • pletely in dealing with her weaker •i cic'nvu

A. E.F. LEADER STILL AFFORDS FRENCH THRILL — General Pershing Busy In Paris With Battle Monument Work By .SAMUEL DASHIELL, UP Staff Correspondent Paris, July 6 —(UP) — General John J. Pershing, whose whitening hair and erect military figure still afford a thrill to Frenchmen and foreigners, is occupied with postwar services which make his day a round of arduous duties here. With Foch, Joffre, Haig, Wilson, Clemenceau, Serrail and Mangin gone, Pershing's easy gait and fa- | miliar face, grown softer and more amiable with the years, recall memories of more than a decade ago. Pershing spends much of his time these days with the officials of the American Battle Monuments Commission and in lending a guiding hand to the completion of the 14 notable memorials which commemorate America's participation in the war. His services are sought lor almost every important FrancoAmerican activity, and he must exercise the greatest tact in accepting places on committees. Not the least important part of Pershing s time is that spent with his old comrades of the war, with Hie statesmen and leaders who are still liquidating the aftermath of the war. One of President Doumer’s first luncheons was given in Pershing's honor. The American has infinite respect for the venerable Frenchman, white-bearded aristocratic senator, who lost three sons in the war. At this luncheon were many of the great soldiers about whom Pershing spoke frankly in his war book. There were General Weygand and General Gouraud, Minister of War Maginot, former French Ambassador Berenger and Colonel Bentley Mott, associated with so much of the Herrick regime in Paris and biographer of the lato am bassador. General Pershing’s prestige seems to increase in Paris as years roll on. The tough job he had during the war required a tough, unflinching soldier. They said Pershing was too much of a disciplinarian; that is, those who needed to be disciplined. Bui when Pershing rode up Fifth

Avenue one bright afternoon at the head of the returning American Army he was not the cold disciplinarian. he was the national hero. General Pershing, at 71 years of age, is perhaps no longer considered as a Presidential possibility, but his knowledge of national and local politics still is keen. He follows the currents and trends of the shifting political tides, and his sympa-, thies are national and not partisan. o ► 4 ANSWERS TO TEST QUESTIONS Below are the answers to the test questions printed on page two I ♦ 4 1.
