Her Divine Right.
BY Olivers,Kent.
This author certainly is gifted
writer and it is too bad that he has
not used the talent to benefit and
elevate his fellow men.
He claims love is the highest
law regardless of all other laws.
A maid wedS a man and learns
within the hour that she can only
be a-wife in a legal sense. Later
she meets and loves a man gives
herself to him and the author justi-
fies her claiming it is Her Divine
Right"

BAN ON TRUNKS
ACCUSING CONCERN

Now that travel to the seashore
will soon begin on an extensive scale
many are inquiring of the railroads
concerning the restrictions made by
the Interstate Commerce Commission
In the size of trunks that may be car
ried as baggage without mourning an
extra charge.
The commissions order restricts ia
40 inches the size of trunks AS bag.
gage that do not come under the extra
charge except for excess weight. BE.
yond that length to ~ inches extra
charges are made for length II tho
weight Is not excessive. and for ex-
cess weight when greater than the
usual allowance
IL has been ascertained that only
about 10 per cent of the trunks taken
as baggage exceed the 45-inch free
limit The extra charge Of length. a
railroad official said yesterday, was
made only with view to checking the
tendency to make trunks larger. He
asserted that this became necessary
on account Of the limited space of a
baggage car.
The same Official said the new rule
would work ho real hardship on the
people, since relatively few used
