Withoul Mother,. Consent.

A number Of mothers have been con-
verted to woman suffrage by the unwel-
come discovery that minor can enlist
without his mothers consent, though
not without his fathers. When a boy
under age wishes to join the army. the
United States regards him as having
only one parent and that one the father.
If the mother is widow, her consent is
required. bEt not otherwise. When it is
a question of taking 4 son under age to
be flood for powder, the consent Of
both parents certainly ought to be nee
essary. Boston Woman's Journal.
