JAIL TERMS1MPOSED
ON WOMAN SPEEDERS
Columbus, Ohio, Checking TraAsc
Violations by Making Prison
Mandatory.
CHARMING COED Is VICTIM
Forced to Serve Day Under Rigid
Restrictions.
BY ROBERT II. SMALL.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, May 23.-The
women of the middle west have come
into their very own. The fair femi-
nine drivers of the automobile, who
cannot resist that impulse to step
on the gas, are being sent to jail
daily with the mere male of the
species.
The cities of this great central
country are in league against the
motor speed fiends. One by one they
are falling in line with the plan of
sending the fast drivers to the hoose-
cow regardless of their station, their
sex or their previous condition of
servitude. The unwary visitor to
Ohio must fare the same as the ma
tive sons and daughters. It's Jail
for one and all.
Jail Gets Best Results.
Columbus is firmly committed to
the new policy, and the city officials
say that actual experience behind the
bars is doing more to check reckless
and fast driving than the imposition
of the heaviest fines.
One of the latest victims of the
new crusade is a beautiful coed at
Harkrader. Miss Harkrader is so
lovely that her fellow students at the
university elected her a rosebud"
this year, and her picture came out
in the college paper the very day
that she was in durance vile. copy
was sent to the prison for her. In
the end, it proved wonderfully ef-
fective tonic. But at the first view
there was a sniffie or two, then an

that nasty officer who stole up on
her in a nivver and ordered her to
stop insisted that she was driving
down one of the principal streets OF
the city .t thirty miles IN hour, The
Companions were plainly diS1p-
pointed. They had evidently hoped
for something far more interesting.
Then they told the girl their stories.
+ The woman accused of second-de-
gree murder was one who the day
before had tossed q bottle Of acid on
her sweetheart. who died from in
ha1ing the fumes. She said 4he did It
because Of her great love for the man,
aud she told the coed never. never,
never to fall in love with q man.
Wide-eyed and open-mouthed the
Rosebud" vowed then and there she
never would.
A number of other women have
been similarly sentenced here since
the new order was adopted The a0-
thorities say that In the end the JAIL
ing of all fast drivers is a protection
for the motorists themselves. For one
thing, it will do away with the speed

lists are picked up and fined Tor the

Served One Day.
The fair coed was dealt with rather
gently by the courts at that. she
was given only one day and was Al,
lowed to serve it on the union scale
from IL noon until IL midnight.
Usually the sentences run from three
to thirty days. The Rosebud" says
she would simply have died II she
had had to spend the whole night In
Jail with such "horrid company" In
this company there were women
charged with crimes running all the
way from petty larceny to second

the Jail were frankly surprised when
they saw the dainty Rosebud come

clang shut behind her. In true prison

JAPAN N AY Be
NEXT To co
DRY"
Prohibition Movement Finds
Many Favor Measures
Now Before Diet

TOKYO, Dec 25.-There is more
than possibility that the next ma
ton to go dry will be the empire
OF Japan.
A prohibition campaign, spon.
sored by the National Temperance
League, is sweeping over the
country. Several anu.liquor bills
have been presented to the Diet at
its present session, ana public
opinion Is being aroused by means
OF mass meetings, lectures, and
newspaper advertisements.
The prohibition movement CLAIMS
the active support of 100 900 mem.
bers OF temperance societies, be-
sides large number Of sympa-
thizetS who have not joined any Of
the organizations.
The major bill which the Temper
ance League is advocating pro-
hibits the sale of lIQuor to anyone
under twenty-five years of age. At
present the age limit Is twenty,one
years, a law to that effect having
been passed in 1929.
The proposed law would forbid
the buying of liquor by practically
all university students and young
men undergoing their military
training. A bin to prevent the
sale of liquor in railroad stations,
dining cars and government build.
ings and to prohibit its use In the
Army and Navy has been presented
to the Diet. There will also be an
attempt to insert chapters on the
evils Of alcohol and tobacco In text
books used in the public schools.
According to Government stats
tics Japan spent, IN 1928, $475, 00O,.
600 for sake, $2S,350 900 for beer,
and 100000 for imported liquor.
This meant the use, Of 22,6OO, 600
bushels Of rice and 3.625, 900 bushels
OF Wheat--enough, the Tempera nee
League points out, to suppot Tokyo,
Osaka, and Kobe for an entire year.
Fifty members of the Diet have al.
ready declared themselves in favor
of national prohibition, principally
on the ground that sake drinking
is an extravaganza that Japan can.
not afford.
Japan, howevtr, will not be the
first Oriental nation to abolish
liquor. Korea went dry some two
thousand years ago--so very dry
that the emperor stationed guards at
the city gates to test the breath Of
those going in ana out. The penal
ties, however, were made so severe
that eventually there was a revolu.
ton and the Hermit Kingdom went
wet again.

BIG DOCKAGE
IN NO. DAKOTA

Fargo, Feb. 5.-Farmers, Of North
and South Dakota, Minnesota and
Montana shipped to the Minnesota
markets in the 1922 crop alone $780,
600 bushels of dockage, using for
this purpose over $500 cars.
1t cost them over $675,000 to thrcsh
this dockage and taking the freight
paid on dockage from Larimote, N.
D., to Minneapolis as an average rate,
it cost the farmers of these four
states 100000 to transport this dock,
age from their farms to Minneapolis,
These are the startling facts just
made public in report of an invest
tigationf of the northwest dockage
situation by specialists Of the United
States department of agriculture.
The figures were taken from the
records of the Minnesota state grain
inspection department.
A survey based 'on reports from
1,400 elevators in North and South
Dakota and Minnesota and Montana,
giving dockage percentage in the
1923 crop indicates an average dock
age. for these four states of 7.6 per-
cent by weight of dockagc.
This means that 11,65O,80O bushels
of dockage or the equivalent of 1890
carloads of dockage was hauled in
the wheat to the country elevators
of these four states.
