PREACHER
'Wenatchee, Wash., May' 31. Miss
Willla D. Caffray of Wenatchee be
lieves that she is the first woman
ever licensed to conduct services in
the Methodist. Kpiscopal church, and
the first Methodist church of this
city claims the distinction of being
the first church of the faith in the
world jto confer such an. honor.
The Methodist Episcopal conference re
cently held in Des Moines. Iowa, promul
gated an order licensing women to
preach and carry on regular church work.
The order went Into effect upon adjourn
ment of the jreneral conference. Thurs
day. A district quarterly conference was
being held in Wenatchee and 10 minutes
after the adjournment of the general
conference the license was handed xJO
Miss Caffray. ir- J- W. Caughlin. su
perintendent of f the Wenatchee district,
who presided over .the conference, said:
"So far a we know, this is the first
license granted to a woman by the Meth
odist Episcopal church In the whole
. world. "
Miss Caffray comes from a family of
preachers. Her father was for several
years pastor of a Wenatchee church and
her brother, now dead, was a member of
the Ohio and later of the. Wisconsin con
ferences. After finishing public school
and seminary she entered the Chicago
training school for home and foreign
missions, with the record of being the
youngest student who had entered the
school up to that time,
- Before graduation she was called to
the First Methodist church of Columbus,
Ohio, as assistant pastor, later return
ing to the school, from which she was
graduated in 1912. She was afterwards
engaged in church ..work in Wisconsin
and Idaho, coming to Wenatchee two
years ago, where she is now pastor of
the Junior Methodist church.
The subject of granting, licenses to
women to preach has been before gen
eral conferences for 20 years. Dr. Anna
Howard Shaw and Miss Frances Willard
are among those who have applied fpr
licenses, but both were denied on the
ground that they were women.
Miss Wllla D. Caffrey of Wenatchee
conducted evangelistic services here last
fell for three, weeks in Centenary
Methodist church under the auspices of
the Portland district Epworth league.
She attracted large audiences to the
services. During the services she be
came, acquainted with many of the
Methodist people living in Portland.

dianapolis , have added $20,000 in the

Ralph De Palma and his Ballot car
remain, the favorite entry in the betting,
but I am a great believer, in past per
formances. To me the fact looms large that,
though De Palma has had the fastest
car in. at least four of the famous In
dianapolis 500 mile races, he has won
but once. -
Louis Chevrolet's : Fronenac - Monroe
combination is hard hit tiOr the illness

practice spin. : But he Is as game as
he Is daring, and insisted on driving.
