DISTINGUISHED ARTIST.
MRS. PHILLIPS FOX, formerly Ethel
Carrick, and widow of the eminent
Australian painter, is herself an artist
of distinction. She has been visiting
Sydney, and is to hold an exhibition of
her work in Melbourne before her de-
parture for her home in Paris.
Mrs. Phillips Fox is one of the eight
women who, with thirty men, act as the
judges for the admission of pictures to
the Autumn Salon, which is the only
Art Society in France that admits other
than French people on its council. Two
of her pictures were hung at the Salon
this year, much to the artist's satisfac-
tion. At a reception held by the Over-
seas French Homes for soldiers, she de-
signed the programme to be presented
to M. Poincare.

ON THE BENCH
MISS JEAN SALISBURY, J.P., shire
clerk of the Wambo Council, Queens-
land, took a Court at Dalby recently,
and was the first woman to do so in
Queensland.
Miss Salisbury was appointed a Jus-
tice of the Peace in July, 1933, and on
New Year's Day, when the local sergeant
required someone to take a Court, and
no men were available, he sent for Miss
Salisbury, who carried out the proceed-
ings in accordance with her oath.
Miss Salisbury has been in the em-
ployment of the Wambo Shire Council
for ten years, being assistant clerk for
eight years and acting clerk for one
year. After obtaining the necessary cer-
tificates for the position of shire clerk
she was appointed to the position in
April of last year.
