WOMEN HOLD
A LIVELY
SESSION

Giving a vote of commentator
to Chief of Police LOOMS for his
recent letter of instructor to the
police on the enforcement of law
and unanimously declaring for
the Iowa Red Light abatement
law now before the legislature at
Olympia, the Presidents Council
of Women's clubs, however, after
stormy debate killed a resolu-
ton of approval for the bill now
at Olympia to wipe out the Cor
roborative evidence" clause of the
present statute on assault on fe-
males.
The vote refusing to recon-
mend this bill was 23 to 22, the
opponents winning by just one
vote. The debate was lively on
both sides, the women favoring
the bill declaring the law as il
now stands gives girls no protec-
ton against men at all and the
other side retorting that IL the
corroborative evidence is stricken
out no man would be safe against
the Matchmaking or jealousy of a
scheming woman.
The council recommended the
Juvenile court bill, the library
committee bill.

1t has been one of Judge Buck 8
, ambitions to get jury that
would not gossip on the streets
about the secrets that were I'M
yelled before it.
There has never been a grand
jury in San Mateo county that
could keep a secret" said Judge
Buck. Now we will see how the
women can behave in this partic-
ular."
Mrs. McRoskey said that Judge
Buck need not worry bit about
this feature.
But l must say that I do not
like the appointment a Bit" she
said, when told that her name
had been presented.
A grand jury for WHAT" she
asked. els it something politi-
cal? What do they do? really
know nothing about it. I am not
a suffragist, you know, and am
not in favor of political activities
for women"
BY stating women as grand
jurors, Judge Buck has defied a
recent opinion of Atty. Gen. Webb
to the effect that women cannot
qualify as jurors under the pres
ent state laws.
Most everybody Is wondering
how the chattering end is going
to work out-whether women
jurors will talk less than men.

SAN MATEO, CAL, Feb. 2t.-
Jane Adams theory that munic-

Control of the new grand jury,
which will investigate many

will be i'm the hands of women,
as a result of the action of Supe-
rior Judge Geo. Buck of Redwood
City in putting II women on the

were named.
The grand jury is limited to 10
members, SO the men have a
chance yet.
Judge Buck selected married

are Leila L. M. McRoskey, poet

The Harm in Public Dances.
Dear Miss Grey: How
often do you think respec-
table girl should go to
dances If she cares a whole
lot for dancing and always
acts proper?
Do you think there is any
harm in going to a public
dance if you act IadyIike?
LENA.
A.-Once week is plenty
often to attend a dance and too
often if you dance every number
on the program and stay until
the close.
The criticism does not lie so
much in the real harm as the re-
Election it has on ones character.
l sincerely believe q person may
attend a public dance and keep
as respectable as anyone, if they
are strong; but the general run
of these places offer many temp
tations. The main objection to
the public dance hall is that just
anyone may attend and you are
often thrown with an undesirable
class.
