HOW WOMEN HAVE ADVANCED
Interesting Now to Recall Their
Status In Great Britain Lees
Than a Century Ago.
Should women be whipped?

Should women be whipped?
Just century ago wlseacres, poll
ticians and noble lords Of Great Brit
ain were debating the point. 1t was
quite new Idea to worry about what
was happening TO women, but after
SOme discussion 1t was decided that
they ought not to be whlpped-that
the best way to handle them was on
the "gentle-but-frm" method-and In
1920 the wiseacres, politicians and
noble lords passed bill known as
the whipping act, prohibiting the cor
poral punishment Of women.
Having made this exertlon on wOn-
ems behalf they returned to the dis.
cussion of things which interested
them.
Fifty years passed. The seed which
had been planted in 1920 began to
take root In 1870, and the question Of
special legislation for women again
bobbed UP. This time an act was
passed allowing women to be posses
sors Of their own property-a mag
unanimous document known as the
married women's property act.
Those two acts, small In themselves,
were of great portent to women. They
were the first admission that women
had any rights or legal status.
In the last fifty years women have
come to the foreground in leaps and
bounds. By the Interpretation act Of
1889 the government went so far as
to allow that words in any act of
parliament passed after 1850 imputlng
the masculine gender shall include
females unless the contrary intention
appears."-London Mail.

Latest Report From Investigation Of

Greatly.

County Health officer ]. s. Rice re-

was taken from the city water pipes.
This. report shows conditions i'm
proved greatly over the last inspec-
ton of the water and while the re-
port still says that the water shows
sewage contamination and will not be
safe for domestic purposes unless ef-
ficiently purified, II shows that the
bugs" are greatly reduced by the use
of the chlorlnator.
The report previous to this one
shows that contamination was found
in .O1 &C, while this report shows that
, contamination is found in 10. &C which

however, the water is still impure and

For the past several days a young
woman, an assistant state labor in

ing investigations as to the enforce

is learned that in the main she has
found that the strict provisions of
the law as regards the employment of
women and children over 16 years
of age, have been strictly observed but
in some instances they have not and
corrections must be made.
So far as is known there is no firm
in Maysville or Mason county employ

head of the City Schools or the Juve-

Immediately to comply with the re-

IN RESOLUTION
Veterans Of Civil War Adopt Resolution
Against "Entangllng Alliances
With Foreign Countries,

Columbus, Ohio, September 13.-
Concluding its annual encampment
here Friday, the Grand Army of the
Republic went on record as opposed
to the League of Nations in its present
form; voted to maintain its identity
so long as single post exists, and
elected Colonel James D. Bell, of
Brooklyn, commander
The resolution opposing acceptance
Of the League of Nations, was adopted
almost unanimously after prolonged
debate and after voting down a substi-
tute offered by Secretary Franklin o.
Cole, Of New Jersey, which sought
sanction of the league in a modified
form.
The original resolution, which was
adopted, was presented by William A.
Ketchum, of indianapolis, past judge
advocate Of the G. A. r.
Efforts of Commander Adams to pre-
vent the subject of the peace treaty
coming up, were unavailing.
He ruled Ketchum's resolution out
of order on the ground that it was of
purely political nature, and that rules
# the organization prohibited consid-
Grafton of political questions. His de-
cislon was overridden by the delegates.
The resolution declared against EN-
tangling alliances with foreign coun-
tries" asserting that 1--WE are not con-
cerned with the international policies
of Europe, Asia or Africa" 1t declar-
ed this country should not embark
upon any policy that might endanger
r;erty or result in the surrender OF
our independence" and ended with this
declaration:
1--WE protest against being commit
ted to the covenant of a League of Ma
tions as the same is now proposed as
a rider to the treaty of peace"
The substitute resolution, offered by
Mr.. Cole, said: Believing League
Of Nations will eventutlly lead to uni.
versal peace, we sincerely desire en-.
actment Of proper league with sucf
reservations as are not improper"

Breach of the Peace In War.
rant Issued-SchOol Boy
Says He Was Injured.

A warrant was issued in Police
Court this afternoon for Prof. w. T.
Berry, principal of the Forest Avenue
School at the request of William Mich
olson, resident Of the Fifth Ward, who
charges that the school teacher In
furnishing his son, seriously Injured
him.
This is the first time school troubles
Of this kind have ever been brought
Into the local courts for settlement
in many years and there will be much
interest taken in the hearing of the
case late Monday afternoon following
school hours.
1t seems as though few days ago
young Nicholson did something for
which his teacher thought he deserved
punishment and turned him over to
the principal. In administering the
punishment, the boy charges that Prof
Berry very seriously injured him by
causing him to lose two teeth and to
receive bad lick on the head.
Others, however, contend that the
| principal only padded the school boy
and that in endeavoring to get away
from Prof. Berry, the boy slipped and
fell down stairway knocking out his
teeth and receiving the bad lick of
which complaint is made.
