ATTACKS ELIGIBILITY
OF WOMAN ON JURY
Counsel for Doomed Man Seeks Re
vergal of Conviction and
Death Sentence.

The District Court Of Appeals yester-
day heard arguments OF counsel on the
question of the constitutionality OF the
act Of Congress permitting women TO
serve on juries In the District OF Co
lunbia. The question arose on the
appeal Of Malcolm Howard, colored,
who was found guilty Of first-degree
murder by jury on which two women
sat
Mrs Lille Green. one of the jurors, Is
the wife OF deputy United States mar
shsl. and the point was made that her
support came from the Government and
disqualified her for jury service. Coun-
gel also contended that the act making
women eligible but not compelling
them 10 serve is invalid as class legis-
Iaiion. since II makes all men who can
qualify serve. but leaves IL optional
with the women
Assistant United Gtstes Attorney

Sc BUYS A REALLY
GOOD CIGAR
You say it can't be done?
Man, read this!

The fve-cent cigar purchaser is
as much entitled to enjoyment out
Of his smoking as the man who pays
more. Here's the cigar thatll give
it to him: HavanG Ribbon. Don't
say it's "just another five-center."
Try it. Then let your Judgment rule.
Hdvana Ribbon is as different
from ordinary &c cigars as green
or over-ripe bananas are different
from ripe ones. And for the same
reason: Havana Ribbon contains no
green" under ripe tobacco; nor
OUer-ripe. No bitterness; no flat
ness. You get a smoke that's mar
velously fragrant, cool, mild, mellow
-fine-tasting. /. . Because it's ripe
tObdccO-every bit. And long-filler
too! No scraps" or cuttings"
Havana Ribbon has been going
great guns for thirty years. Mil

Ter" of the century, and &c will
prove to you that this is no idle
dream. Sold everywhere. Also Prac-
