things their husbands do when away from the hearth and fireside. Prominent Women Attend In her audience will be such groat ladles as Mrs. William H. Taft, wife of the former P real dent; Mrs. John Hays Hammond, wife of the multimillionaire mining engineer; Mrs. Robert Lansing, wife of the former Secretary of State. There will be dozens of wives of United States Senators and Representatives and scores of wives of lesser officials. “I started years ago," Miss Richards explains. “I first gave little talks in drawing rooms on public questions. The thing grew. We had to move to a lecture hall. We’ve outgrown every hall we’ve had. Sometimes now there are as many as a thousand women in the audience.

She attended regularly when her husband was Vice President Mrs. Charles G. Dawes, wife of the present Vice President, often attends. Mrs. Coolidge would probably attend still, according to the lecturer, if the lecture hall boasted a box in which she might properly be seated.

Minimum Is Sixty-Five The minimum grade for formal subjects of the examination is sixtyfive, White said. “I have heard very little opposition to the procedure in this examination,’ White said. "A number of old-time politicians object to the loss of their patronage in recommending policemen, but we consider that to be a recommendation.” Utmost secrecy will attend the preparation of questions.
