OHIO GIRLS Of IS
MAY DRINK LIQUOR
Law Holds That Buckeye Maidesss
nj That Age Are Not Minors;
Boys Must Walt.

Columbus, Ohio, May 1.-Ohio
girls between the ages of eighteen and
and twenty-one are not minors. but
persons of full legal age. except where
a specific statute provides otherwise.
This II the opinion of william j
Ford, Assistant Prosecuting Attorney
of Franklin county, IN response 20 a
query of the Franklin County Liquor
Licensing Board az to the status un-
der the State liquor laws of girls
OF this age
The question was ra Used in order to
obtain an Interpretation OF the act
passed in April. 1918, by the Legs
lattre. which provides that minors
over seventeen who misrepresent their
age in order to buy liquor shall be
fned or imprisoned and that the
IA me penalty he levied on liquor deal
ers who allow minors 10 frequent
their business places or to buy liquor.
Does this statute apply to girls as
well as hoyK who become of age at
twenty one years? Nj. Ford was
asked
In his opinion he quotes section
SOFA OF the general code OF ohio,
which provides that AL male persons
Of the age of twenty-oue years and
upward and all female persons Of
the age of eighteen years and upward
who are under NO legal disa bility
shall be capable Of contracting res
pectinE goods, cha'teis lands tene-
nents. and any other matter or
thing which may be the legitimate
subject Of contract and to all In
tents and purposes he Of fun age"
Although prior 70 the enactment OF
this statute a girl did not become Of
age until twenty-one. Mr.. Ford hoids
that she now has the status OF q per-
son OF fuil age unless another special
statute provides otherwise Such 40
example is the act comforting the
right TO vote and he voted for as
member of board of education on
women provided they are AZ least
twenty years of age
In it's general significance which
would include the liquor licensing act
in question. the term minor" rs APP
piled to females means a person under
the age ~ eighteen, NT Ford Con
Ciuaes in hts opinion,
