Everyday Law Cases
May Man Engaging in Fight Sue
His Opponent?
BIZ THE COUNSELLOR.

Baker and Smith were the heads of
rival factions in their organization.
Arguments were frequent and at times
the two men were on the verge of
blows.
The members realized that there
would eventually be a fight between
the two principals. Accordingly, when
Baker in the course of an argument
declared that "if Smith was looking
for fight I'll give it to him." the
members arranged the combat.
The battle was a furious one and
Baker was severely beaten.
Later. much to Smiths surprise, he
received notice that Baker had sued
him for damages for assault and bat.
terry. Smith contested the suit on the
ground that Baker had willingly en-.
tered into the fight and had thereby
consented to the injuries that resulted
But the court compelled Smith to
pay Baker for the injuries he had
caused, stating:
While consent is generally a full
and perfect bar when damages are
claimed for resulting injuries, it is
different when the consent involves a
breach of public peace. The law does
not recognize consent to unlawful con.
duct. The life of an individual is
guarded in the interest of the State
and not in the interest OF the indi
vidual alone; and NOT only his life is
protected but his person as well. AS
an assault involves unlawful conduct
consent thereto cannot justify it, and
damages will be awarded. Only few
STATES have held to the contrary"

Choosing Blooms in Spring.

Before choosing your favorites in
the seed catalogues or stores, look
over your garden. Decide which plants,
in what quantity, will look well in the
space available. 1t is an excellent
idea to get the dimensions of your
garden or back yard and then sketch
in the arrangement of flowers desired.
Knowing just what size beds and
borders are needed facilitates buying.
For the front of the border, to
begin there, you will want lowgrow-
ing plants. Among your choices may
be sweet alyssums, candytufts. lobe
las or dwarf ageratum. Which you
choose depends not only on personal
preference, but also on the color
scheme decided on for the border
alyssum or candytuft for a white
border, lobelia for blue, or agertum.
being certain not to get the mixed
seed of the latter.
In choosing the next border stripe
of flowers. be sure to choose one that
is not too high. a suggested model
would be to follow such flowers as
verbena, dwarf nasturtium, dwarf
French marigold and so forth with
cosmos, sunflower. hollyhocks and so
on. Gradually you will reach the de-
sired height.
If you are buying seeds for the first
time it will be difficult to resist the
temptation to order everything in the
catalogue. If this is your first sea-
son, select only few seeds from the
catalogues for your first order The
pictures of unusual plants only sug-
gest their beauty, not the difficulty
in cultivating them.
With those admonitions put down,
let's consider the bed of your garden.
1t should be the beauty spot, and you
will have to buy with that in mind.
Color again plays an important part.
One of the most common ANIMALS for
the bed is the zinnia. Be sure that

Always Let Him Escape.

Some clever person has probably
said sometime or other that the best
way to hold man is to give him
every possible chance of escape.
I'm not trying to talk now about
| the folloy of holding a man when you
suspect his love is straying. We dis
| cussed that the other day.
But | am thinking of the numerous
| occasions on which we're apt to pin
| the boy friend down so that he hasn't
the iota of a chance to back out of
anything he may have proposed. And
just by pinning him down, we lose his
interest.
Now take a girl like Nancy, who
has a perfect passion for collecting
| men in large quantities,
She meets Dick at a college dance
and he's vaguely attracted toward
her-nothing extra. you understand
She's pretty and popular and he likes
dancing with her. He says something
casual about calling her up.
ooh, will you?" she laughs up at
him excitedly. "You really will?
Promise now. 1 want you to promise.
It's Regent 2121. Will you call some
time this week? Don't forget
Well, her eagerness, though rather
young and foolish, is perhaps flatter.
ing to a young man like Dick.
Still he desn't like the way she per-
sists all evening in reminding him of
the fact that he's promised to call her.
He'd made the suggestion in friendly
enough way-but his interest would
have been reused and held, If Nancy'd
answered at once. "Yes, you might
call me some time, This music is gor-
geous, isn't it?'
Perhaps, then he'd have felt less
pinned down to the promise of a call.
He might really have felt eager to
call her.
With a pleasurable sense of antici.
patton he might have gone to the
telephone next Wednesday and called
the new girl friend, just on the chance
that she might be at home.
But with the certain knowledge that
she was at home, waiting for him,
having eXacted the promise from him
that he'd certainly call Wednesday
evening, he went to the phone in
rather exasperated frame of mind.
The conversation that followed was
for the most part excited and eager
on her part, bored and listless on his.
Finally, he wound up the conversa-
ton and prepared to ring off: "Well,
good-by for now," he said. I'm drop
in some evening, perhaps" That was
his customary way of ending tele.
phone conversation.
But Nancy's voice shrilled over the
wire: when will you come? How
about next Tuesday," 1t was a dis
gruntled and very cross young man
who finally hung up the receiver.
What might have been a pleasant
Irritation was turning out tiresome
duty. Gosh, she talks as if we were
married" he muttered, disgustedly.
Nancy didn't have to do that sort
of thing. She had plenty of friends.
But she thought it good plan. 1t
isn't. Never pin a man down to any
thing definite, unless he himself sug-
gests definite arrangements.
Let him insist on exact dates. But
don't press the point yourself Only
in that way will you hold his interest.

Useless Regret.

light.

II saw you pass the smoking room
and came hurrying out"
Did you?"
"And hunted for you everywhere,
but couldn't find YOU

He knew now that she was piqued.
What a child she was!
'Oh, Sally, after last might
Yes, after last night-but, after all,
what about it? She had told him she
loved him. She had rested in his arms,
listening to him murmur passionate
words of love. She had even dreamed
of his lying awake allnight longing for
her. And yetsthis mornfng he had pre-
ferred to stay in the smoking room
with three other men. He called that
devotion.
Sally" his voice was grave, "some-
times I'm afraid of the way you love
me. Do you know that? You mustn't
put me up on a pedestal, dear. I'm
fiagrantly human. Because / love you
so much doesn't mean that I'll never
disappoint you. If you'll only renlem-
ber that it isn't because / mean to do

she had the one love of a life to give.
Myra frittered hers away in petty fir
tations. She had expected-Oh, she
didn't know what she had really ex-
pected. But if she had found him
waiting outside of her stateroom door
that morning she wouldn't have been
surprised.
She raised her eyes to his, some flip
pant remark on her tongue, and found
herself mute Those dark eyes, fieck-
ed with amber! She wanted to cry in
stead and found herself battling with
tears.
''Tell me, dear. Tell me everything

He made a gesture to deter her
and then thought better of it and de-
cided to let her go. He even watched
her fly along the deck, head bent,
knowing that she was fighting strange
emotions.
Richard Alden had always been
selfish, but now he wanted selfish
ness that he had never tried to culti-
Vate. He wanted to understand a
woman's delicate reactions. Why had
it made so much difference to Sally,
the fact that he had fingered in the
smoking room that morning? He had
felt that she understood his feelings
for her. 1t was all settled. He had
enjoyed the companionship of other
men over a couple of congenial
drinks. And instead of meeting
understanding on her part she had
developed a fit of temperament. He

out to the kitchen without saying

laughing again, and in a minute or
two she came back and she was not
laughing any more, and she said,
VERY well. We will settle this. Can
you leave work and be here at 8

said, ''Then be here. and III let you

away from me--''the other man."
Well. / should think that would
