LAWS WHICH AFFECT WOMEN.
LEGISLATURES 70 Be Asked to Repeal
All Laws that Are Unfair to Them.

as part of campaign to ask all
state legislatures TO pass blanket
bill removing all legal dl@ablittles a.
focting women, the National Wo-
mans Party j. making a systematic
survey Of al Of these laws. The laws
in four southern states, namely
Florida, Alabama, Mississippi and
Louisiana have already been studied
and the members Of the organization
are prepared on Il moment notice, TO
give the legal status Of women ii
those conmOnwealths. These states
were taken first because their legls-
Iatures will meet soon and the 2sso-
citation wishes to be prepared with
the necessary data to back up their
demand for a repeal Of the objection
able laws.
Last spring the state Of Wlscon-
sin put throuLn bill which gave the
women the same rights and privileges
before the law as men. The bill m
structed the courts to take the words
he, his, him, etc. in the state laws to
include also the feminine equivalents.
One exception to this is provided.
The laws are not to be so read as TO
deny to females the special protec-
ton and privileges which they now
enjoy for the general welfare.' >,
The proposition was given cold
reception by the four southern state
legislatures which met this year.
Louisiana took action to the extent
of repeating some special discrlml-
nations against women. AS one re-
suit all political and civil offices in
the state are now open to women.
Another is that the husband must
obtain the consent Of his wife before
he can sell or mortgage the home;
But the radical idea Of absolute legal
equality for women was turned down
| fatty.

Hunters Who Violate Law Pay Dearly

Activity Of Federal game wardens
in enforcing the provisions Of the mi
gratory-bird treaty act resulted in ST
convictions during October and the
imposition of fines upon offenders to-
taling 1882. according to reports
to the Biological Survey, United
States Department Of Agriculture.
In addition, in may instances costs
greater than the fines imposed by the
courts, and in one case-that of an
offender who offered two wild ducks
for sale in South Caroina--a jail
sentence of months was meted out
and fine of 5000 imposed. In aidi-
ton to the foregoing, lO8 cases of
alleged violation of the law were re-
ported by Federal game wardens to
the authorities for prosecution. Of
fenses against the law dealt with i'll
October varied greatly. A hotel
keeper in Missouri who sold ducks to
his guests was fined $50; vendor of
&igrettes in Virginia was fined $25;
two hunters in North Carolina who
shot ducks from a motorboat were
fined $50 each and costs, while three
Maryland hunters, convicted of the
same offense. escaped with fines of
81 each; man in Illinois who cap
tured wild ducks alive was fined so
and costs Of $28.87, while another
man in the same State. convicted of
hunting ducks during the closed sea-
son, paid $25 fine and costs of
$44.77 for his illegal sport. Seven
Mississippi hunters sought to bag
ducks after dark and were assessed
fines of $40 and costs of $27 each.
Twenty sportsmen in Georgia, went
after doves during the closed season,
500 apiece,

vt RESPONSIBLE FOR SEEDS.

4 decision which will no doubt
prove of much interest to truck grow
ers and farmers generally war rem
dered by Judge Fred D. King of the
Civil District Court Of New Orleans,
a few days ago, in the case of J. M.
and George B. Lambert, truck grow
ers Of st. Rose, La, against the Chris
Reuter- Seed Company of the Cres,-
cent City. The plaintiffs alleging
that they ordered a seed from the
defendant to grow what is known as
the Charleston Wakefield cabbage but
which, when grown, developed into
th-,,; vegetable known as coEfards,
brought suit for $25,053.67. The
court held that the catalog from
which the seed was selected specific
ally set forth that the seed dealer
was not responsible for the product
Of the seed and that this served a."
binding contract. Such decision
is rather unfortunate and if allowed
to stand will go long way towards
discrediting seed vendors with the
truck growers and farmers. When
u man buys cabbage seed he certainly
does not expect that seed to produce
pumpkins or tomatoes, anymore than
he would want Watermelons or can
teloupes from seed that he had pur-
chased under the representation that
it would produce corn. If the truck
growers and farmers cannot rely up
on the representations made in the
catalogs of the seed houses regarding
the kind, let alone the quality of
seeds which are offered for sale, what
is to be their guide in making pur-
chases and what protection is afford
ed them against fraud.

PROHIBITION ENFORCEMENT.
Heavy Penalty Imposed On Vioiators
of State Dry Law.

The Judge Of the city court OF
Alexandria has managed to get his
name printed on the first page OF
the daily newspapers as result OF
the severe penalty which he imposed
on two vioIators of the State pron1-
bition law; as will be seen from the
following special to the I1mes-P1ca-
yune:
"A fine of $500 each and costs OF
the court and sixty days in jail, SUB
ject to workout on the public roads,
and in default Of payment OF me
and costs, four months additional
imprisonment, was imposed by Judge
AL Hundley in the City Court Friday
morning upon Frank Smith and
Stafford Cruze, young white men,
charged under the provisions OF Act
80 of the special session of the Leg
islature of 1921, with having IN their
possession for transportation liquor
in violation of this act. This is the
first prosecution here under this act,
which is commonly known as the
Hood bill. Smith and Cruze were
arrested Monday night with eight
gallons Of liquor in the automobile
in which they were travelling.
"I do not know that the accused
are entitled to any leniency at the
hands of the COURT declared Judge
Hundley, in passing sentence upon
them. Men are made crazy by I'M
bibing this villanous conococt1on, Wo-
men and children are made WIDOWS
and orphans on account OF 1t, ano
you cannot pick up a paper but Wnat
you see an account Of some horrible
crime due to the sale and use OF
illicit iQuor. There is only one way
to break it up, and that Is by tht
imposing of sentence sufficiently
severe to act as a deterrent. | tlno

No Oil in Calcasieu.

The people Of Calcasieu are con-

deposits of sulphur beneath the sur
face of its boundaries there is no oil

dent when the Amerada Petroleum
Company, which had been drilling a
test we'll there abandoned the work
when depth of 5000 feet had been
reached. This is the deepest well
ever drilled in this state. In West
Virginia there is one 1000 feet in
depth, and Texas boasts hole slight
