Miss Edith Rock wood spoke first describing the mill a bill has to go through before it be- | comes aw. It is, certainly, a most complicated process that "turns public opinion into law."

It must have been try-| ing, vet worth it all, for the humorous | impressions she received in addition to the sound opinions of the men.
