A reader complains that stenographers have little to look forward to unless it is the hope of getting away from it all via the altar route. I cannot quite see why their future is less obscure than that of any other worker.

Depree Marry Miss Nora Dean Williamson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Williamson of Denton, and James aside, a private secretary often develops into a more important personage.

She may or may not marry, but whether she does or doesn't, the chances of her being able to retain her job are good. Good Training for Marriage Because a clever girl starts her business career as a stenographer does not mean that she must close it as such or even as a private sec- retary. Secretarial work is excellent training for almost any sort of job, even marriage, which is a many-sided job, even if it does come under the general head of labor of love. Here is a reader's letter: "Dear Mrs. Martin: Secretaries and stenographers are likely to feel that their profession has no future and that marriage is the answer to the mystery of life.

Women in other lines of endeavor are less inclined to stress their limitations. For instance, when a girl takes a small job in a store she feels that with good luck, average intelligence and attention to detail she may climb to an executive position. Just what this executive position might yield in the way of compensation is a matter of wits, agility and steady advancement. "The secretary or stenographer hopes some day to make S60 or even $75 a week. And those last figures are mighty optimistic, I gather.

Always Get Job "I have asked some of my friends and they stress one asset that their calling'offers. They can always get a job if they lose a job.

The wages paid are. about the same, no matter where they roam. But what does it all lead to if a girl intends to be a stenographer all her life? "When I asked several smart stenographers where they expected to end their careers, they looked rather blank. Being young, they had never given the matter a thought, I imagine, or if they had, perhaps they saw only marriage in the future. "I contrasted this attitude to the rather zippy come-back of other girls in other lines of work, who seemed to feel that there was really no limit to the placecs they could go and th ejobs they could fill.

If I was smart enough to be a good typist, I would be too smart to be satisfied with the one said. I think that is the view these girls should take of their oppor- unities. They are clever, diplomat- and close-mouthed, which is exceptional. "This notion of going from one ob to another at small wages forever and a day is not consistent with the brains and energy required to be a good stenog. How do you explain this stunted outlook in ife? W.

G. Is it a stunted outlook? After all, having training and technique must give a girl, even the rolling-stone creature depicted, a certain confidence in herself and a certain satis- ffaction in the assurance she can always get a job, which is more han the girl with no specialty may count on. A knowledge of shorthand helps in many different dnds of work. In fact, the qualifications of a good secretary help make a success in any field.

Testimony Opens In Salazar Trial SWEETWATER, Jan. jury to try Frank Salazar, farm hand charged with slaying his former employer, Paul Kennedy, was completed today with the selection of two farmers, and testimony was begun.

Most of the members of the jury are farmers or ranchmen, and Mrs. Kennedy were found shot to death in their home near Miles. Tex. Two children. Paye -i, and Imogene 13, who have recovered from a bludgeoning, are expected to testify along with a 16-year-old daughter, Wilma.

The state charges Wilma was abducted by Salazar after the slayings. The state, which seeks the death robbed the Kennedys because they objected to his attention to Wilma. Salazar and Wilma were found at the home of his relatives near Austin two days later. Wilma said Salazar forced her to accompany him after telling her he drugged her parents. She blamed jealousy for the slaying.

Salazar said he was "crazy drunk." Guarded by a score of officers, Salazar rolled cigarets and apparently showed little interest in the selection of jurors. Defense attorney Eugene Mathis of San Angelo recorded an exception to the fact that Salazar was guarded by four officers as he was brought into the courtroom yesterday. Mathis contended the procedure, in view of the special venire, was prejudicial. One Small Pox Case in County A case of small pox has been reported in Denton County, and it is believed it was contracted in Dallas at some time during the past two weeks, Dr. M.

L. Hutcheson, county health officer, stated Tuesday. Joe Mason, who lives four miles east of Denton, returned from Dallas last Thursday ill after having visited there for two weeks.

"Weather Is so uncertain at this time of year that we felt it best to hurry ahead while the prospect was apparently for favorable conditions," Mayor Lee Preston said.
