JUSTICES PLAN TO LESSEN
DRINKING BY WOMEN
Stringent Rules to Govern Places
Which Cater to a Growing
Practice.

LIVERPOOL, April 14.-In order to
combat the drink habit among women
in certain parts OF the city, the Iiv.
erpool licensing justices have decid-
ed TO impose rules with regard to the
serving Of female customers in pub
lie houses. Despite the past regula-
tions female tipplng is on the in
crease, and although 1t is viewed by
many as an almost ineradicable evil,
the justices are hopeful OF the
stringent measures they are adopting
to eliminate drunkenness among wo-
men,
With regard to some of the regula-
tions, publicans anticipate some diff
Guilty, notably on account OF that
which stipulates woman shall only
be served once. and should not be al.
lowed TO treat other women 10
drinks. II is feared, too, that the
regulation preventing women from
spending an undue length of time In
public house will not prove efilca-
cious.
The announcement is made by the
justices that they intend to use their
powers under the Compensation Act
principally upon the houses that en-
courage women to drink, and that the
trade must bear In mind that what is
a valuable monopoly would only re-
main to those who conform to what
the justices consider reasonable con-
ditions.

RED CLIFF, Colo, April 14.-Up In
a little mining camp-S,s60 feet up
on the western slope OF the Rockies,
just over the crest of the continental
divide, Is the one woman county judge
in the United States, Mrs. Lydia Berk-
ley Tague of the county court OF
Eagle county, Colorado.
Her husband was Judge Peter
Tague. When he died a month ago
from miners consumption, contracted
in the mines at Leadville early in the
'70s, the county commissioners gave
her his place on the bench
Her father was Judge Berkley, OF
Boulder county, a forty-niner. He
was born in Boulder. Her earliest
memory is that OF going over to the
old courthouse and hearing her father
try cases. Ii was then that she de-
cided that to be judge was the one
thing most TO be desired when she
grew up.
And now, after some 40 odd years,
she still holds the same opinion-with
one exception. That exception Is her
family, three girls and two boys, MY
home first" she says. IF II wasn't
Tor my children, | don't know how
could live"
Mrs. Tague isn't quite sure whether
a woman can make as good a Judge
as a man. Eagle county hasn't any
doubts about the matter. Mrs. Tagne
thinks that women go too much by
intuition; that they are too easily
prejudiced and inclined to take sides.
Eagle county says that the judge Is
trifie modest.
"The Common Sense Judse!"
People call her the common sense
Judge because, they say. IT fts. Al
ter her husbands death there were
half a dozen applicants for his place.
Two of them were justices OF the
peace who had opposed him when he
was elected. The county commission
ers went TO her and asked her to take
the place. She protested that she was
not a lawyer. The commissioners de-
clared that they didn't need lawyer
they wanted some common sense,
thereby displaying credftab1e
amount Of that commodity on their
own part.
That she is the one woman county
Judge in the United States doesn't
seem ESPECIALLY W 49,
1t Just happened that knew more
about my husbands old cases than a
stranger would, and could handle
them better for that reason That's
the way she explains 1t. "All OF the
lawyers and county officials have
been very kind and helped me when
ever they could. Then have 50 ~
cases that | have lots Of time to look
them up in my husbands law library
before they come to a hearing"
Believes In Divorce.
A great deal Of her work is probate
cases. She is a notary public, and
also takes care Of the land Office work
in Eagle county. She has a couple OF
divorce cases on her docket which
she expects to grant when they come
up.
Certainly believe in divorce.
she said in response to question as
to her views on the subject IF two
people can't get along together they
had better separate. Not that re-
gard the marriage VOWS lightly, or
divorce for the purpose Of remarrying
