ancient Law Protecting
Women Thrown Out

Frankfort. ky. Feb 24-Crime has
defeated suffrage in the race in Ken
lucky for complete emancipation Of
woman A law hundreds Of years
old, the supreme court OF the state
declares no longer exists.
Mrs Edith king. OF Greensboro. sold
liquor without a license and was con-
victed Her defence was that the
crime was committed coiointlv with
her husband. hence under his goer-
cion.
Not so, says the court. that used 20
be the law. but since woman wants
the ballot and owns her property sep
aratelv from her husband. she Is fully
emancipated, therefore no longer eX-
lists the presumption that a married
woman commits a crime under coer-
cl0n or her husband, when committed
col0intly with him. The present
legislature has ratified the suffrage
amendment and viii grant suffrage
TO women. but in the race for first
place crime wins by an evelash.

a Gloom Chaser at the Pastime.

II there was any person in Pensa-
cola that was feeling grouchy, blue
and gloomy today they owe it to the
fact that they did not witness the per-
Torrance yesterday at the Pastime
theatre. for a great tonic was nanoed
out by Hasner and Wits Bits of Hits
Musical Comedy when they presented
Leave 1t To Me" hilarious farce
cleverly worked out thus being a great
treat OF those who have seen it. The
mature of the farce is an elopement by
a frightened young couple who are fol-
lowed by the girls father who has q
firery temper, so they confide to an
eccentric justice who after hearing the
boys story learns that said father is
an old enemy of his on whom he swore
revenge some time ago, so IT Is tll
left to bin, and after he meets this
fire eater and how he goes about his
revenge is very amusing. After he
thinks there isn't anything mean
enough to do to get even his office
is visited by an old maid seeking legal
advice who he invigles in the plot arse,
making the laughs more rapid and
when they came to the surprising
finish the house fairly shook with
laughter. Johnnie HasnerSand Violet
Witt are at their best in this play al
though they have scored very heavily
the last bill with their dance Mixen de
Dawgs, they are seen in another spe-
cialty, likewise Walter Nichols ana
Miss Jerry St. Claire. There is sew
eral song hits offered by the principals
and the beauty chorus, You'd Be Sur
prised by Walter Nihcols, Living the
Life of REILLY by Earl Swaggerty,
Bally Ho Bay by Violet Witt. The
same play will be repeated today
changing tomorrow to "A Night Out
