Holland on a charge of assault and

WOMEN WIN


One of the most signal victories ev-

was the decision of the supreme court
in the suit brought by the women of
Des Moines, Iowa, to have set aside an
election involving the building of a city
hall and the issuance of bonds therefor
because women had not been allowed
to vote. The supreme court set aside
