Referring to the advice of Miss Annie Oakley that women travelling alone should carry revolvers. The Milwaukee Free Press intimates that such weapon might not come amiss on other occasions, and gives this reason:
 Three hulking loafers followed pretty lady-like appearing girl on Grand Avenue, just at noon, less than a week ago, mak- ing offensive remarks about her and to her It would have been worth going far to see if she had turned on them with a self-clocking revolver-whether she had begun to shoot or not.
 There would have been little fun in it unless she had done some expert shooting. A little accurate markmanship in such cases would have an excellent effect, as well as a dlscouraging one on such scoundrels.
