In this number is Miss Clara Ruth Mozzor, who in November was appointedjunior assistant attorney general of the state. This appointment was made by recommendation of the Democratic women of Colorado. Leslie E. Hubbard, as attorney general-elect, said in confirming- her appointment:“The women of the West, standing for the best in womanly virtues, have added a new dignity to the freeman’s ballot, compelled honesty, decency and justice in public affairs, given atouch of humanity to government, influenced legislation in behalf of unchildren, secured humaneand beneficial reforms in the charitable and penal institutions and placed the politics of the country on a higher moral plane.“The record of woman’s accomplishments in Colorado and the West will be a beacon light oLhope to the toilers for equal suffrage in our sisterstates and will hasten effectively the dawn of the national suffrage.”Earns Way in College.Miss Mosser is a Denver woman and was educated in the high school there. While a junior she became interested in many social and civicquestions. She helped to organize a settlement-house in West Colfax,Denver’s Yiddish district. When she was graduated she studied law at the University of Colorado, earning herway jy newspaper writing, and was admitted to the bar. She went through the rigid examination before the justices of the Supreme Court with flying colors, and came out with a record as the youngest woman everadmitted to the bar in Colorado.Miss Mosser has been as modestabout h$r wonderful career in law as in writing. Her stories of Yiddishlife have attracted considerable at-tention. Discussing her legal career, she says: You ask me what I thinkare the requisites for women In myprofession? Well, they are the same that are needed in any profession orline of work and, briefly, speaking,would be, to know one’s business and be human. To be human is, in my mind, the sum and. total of all success. Of course this is an age wiien cither man or woman in order tosucceed must be an expert in his line.■ •;Variety of Interests.“I believe in a variety of interests, and personally I could not live if Idid not have more than one thing tothink about. My enthusiasm is almost childish and I trust it will always remain so. In fact I am more of a girl today than when I was in my freshman year in college, and that is saying a great deal. I am fond of atlilefics, swimming and rowing, rifle practice and basket-ball. I love pretty clothes and don’t believe in the idea of affecting:' any peculiarity in dress or manner to mark me as separate and apart. In fact the main factor in the success of the western womam is that she is a woman. We lake our rights and privileges for granted, as men do.“In concluding, I wish to say that I believe in wf.men, their ability Jo stand together and to work for each other. The last campaign has well demonstrated the ability of the enfranchised women standing together for any great issue. Women, you know, are bigger than their party, they forget the individual and see only the idea when it comes to a crisis.”Miss Mosser is dainty and attractive and “womanly.” She never looks for a strong mannish arm to clingto, but she has large, black eyes, and. knows how to use them. She ispretty and girlish and believes in the “righteousness of pretty clothes” and practices this gospel herself. - ;
