Complaint reaches this office of the
ball playing on main street that takes
place, in good weather, every evening
between six and eight o'clock. 1t is
alleged that one or more women have
been struck while passing the street
and Others narrowly escaping.
The women are always raising a
row in one way or another. In ancient
times when they were up to this little
game the Apostle Paul cut it short
with this little commands: "Let your
women keep silence in the churches. =.
Now why cannot this matter be set

stay at home between six and eight !!

right has the women to intrude y
