NEW POINT is RAISED
IN POOLROOM CASE
Accused Mans Lawyer Puts a
Novel Interpretation on Law
ISoec;oI D;Sootcb IN The CoU1

STOCKTON, April 15.-Attorney Ben
Barry argued a new point today in con-
nection with a juvenile court case.
Berry represents Peter Rogers. pool
room man charged with having con-
tributed to the dependency of a minor.
The action was brought by Probation
Officer Taylor, who with Assistant Dis
trict Attorney c. p. Rendon, represented
the prosecution.
Berry argued that the law regarding
such cases is to the effect that only a
parent or guardian can contribute to
a child's dependency. Judge Frank H.
Smith ruled to the contrary, however.
and denied the motion to dismiss the
action.
A demurrer was then presented on the
ground that the complaint stated two
public offenses. Judge Smith heard ar
guments and took the matter under
advisement.
1t was only recently that the court
sentenced a poolroom man to pay a
fine of $3.50 for the same offense.

THE HEAD POISE.

no you sigh to be called stylish
looking woman? Consider the
poise Of your head.
You may have taste and money to
crafty It but you will never show of
your clothes If you turtle your head,
thrust out your chin, carry your neck
to one side or draw your chin back un-
til your whole carriage is rigid.
A Frenchwoman when asked why
her countrywomen usually had such
finely poised heads said that it was
because they were taught to show the
tops of their collars.
Most of us hide our collar tops, as
the condition of ruchings plainly
shows. Try to remember the simple
rule of showing the collar edge and
you will quickly assume the head
poise of a thoroughbred.
II you have a double chin this rule
holds doubly good. Don't think that by
drawing in the rolls of flesh you d.
r,inish or conceal them.
The one hope for the double chinned
woman Is to turn naughty, hold her
head high and pay money to the mas
seuse
