MISS JUSTICE ALLEN
WARMLY WELCOMED
TO SUPREME BENCH

When a series Of extraordinary hap
penings left the little Scotch girl in
once popular play keeping guard
over the church collection basket, the
whole community was stunned and
aghast at the spectacle of "a woman
at the plate" Now the encrOach-
ments of feminism land a woman on
the Supreme Court of an American
state, and the American people not
only take 1t calmly but accept the
innovation with cordial approval
And while most Of the editors who
comment on the election of Judge
Florence f. Allen to the Ohio Supreme
Court also refer to lady in play
it is Fortia rather than Bunty whom
Miss Aliens pioneering brings to their

almost completely destroyed, and

portant and hitherto such a strong
hold of tradition as the juSticeship OF
the Supreme Court, the sole question
now is the relative fitness of the can

when questions Of propriety would
have overshadowed those OF Judge
Allen,s qualifications for the office"

SAVING THE CRIMINAL.

Some scientists are said to have
restored men of criminal tendencies
to normal condition by Operating
on their skulls, where the bone
presses upon certain brain cells and
prevents their functioning properly.
A better and less painful and risky
way would be to compel criminals ito
wear side whiskers. Side boards is
the badge Of responsibility, as wit
ness the cases of bank cashiers, COL
lege presidents and undertakers, who
all wear this ornamental least in

cannot help being respectable. -
