the rear yard to boil a dyeing solution
that she had placed in a black pot on the
ground The fagots she lighted did not
burn brightly and she brought out the
gallon kerosene can and began pouring
the oil upon a portion of the kindling A
live coal caught the stream of oil, which
flared up in an explosion, and flames en
veloped the aged woman from head to
feet.
Neighbors heard her screams and ran to
her in time to put out the blaze while
she rolled In agony upon the ground
Her entire body was scorched and most
of her clothing was burned off. She was.
carried to the hpspita! unconscious. Doc

WOMEN MRS
They Are Qualified for Practice
and Would Elevate Profes
sion. Says Lawmaker.
In the course of his remarks de
fending the proposed county attorney
bill, which was defeated by rhe nar
row margin of four votes in the house
today, Mr. Massengale, of Warren, took
a stand for the bill to allow women to
practice law in Georgia.
' I have, heard so much about how the
pending county attorney's bill will ad-
| verily affect the practice o f
Georgia, how it would put this and -ha'
high-class attorney out of business
how ft would discriminate in favor r
the poor country lawyer as against L
learned city fellow, that I have -eaehed
the conclusion that the bill to peL-,,
women to practice law in this sta-. .
an eminently satisfactory measure
that it should be enacted into law.- ..jj
Mr. Massengale.
! "Women are well qualified for the '•
gal profession, and. thinking of
of the things I have heard from ma =.
lawyers in argument here against ;
bill. I am constrained to think that - J
admission of women to practice i a .
doubtless would tend greatly to eleva .
the profession in the quality of its in.
telligence and acumen. ’
The remarks of the gentleman from
Warren along this line were greets
with instant and noisy applause
