II County Judge Bryce Crawford goes
pondering over the question whether or

judges of the district court once had to
determine whether or not certain fur
cloak fitted Its purchaser. but that mat
ter is simple when compared with the
question that confronts Judge Crawford
Charles Charles. hair good dealer. has
started suit against Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
H. King for 80 for a hair twist and a
hair pompadour in county court. Charles
alleges that Mrs. King purchased the
goods and failed to pay for them. The
most unique feature of his petition is
the declaration that the cost Of said
twist and pompadour Is a necessary
household expense" This assertion is
made in order TO make Mr.. King a CO.
defendant TO the suit. II the goods pur-
chased were specially for Mrs. King.
Charles could sue her only. and II he
might have difficulty In collecting. the
family property being In Kings name.
BY declaring the twist and pompadour
household necessities the plaintiff can
bring King inta the case as defendant
and II he RECEIVERS judgment be can
collect il from King.
King will defend on the ground that

what we are trying to do to develop

give definiteness and efficiency to
