BOARD
IS BLAMED FOR
GIN PARTIES

CHICAGO, May !. U.R - Blame
for high school gin parties was
shifted from the shoulders Of parents
to the board Of education today
with the dismissal of truancy charg-
es against Mrs. Jane Iiston, mother
of Colctta Liston, - year old "iazz
age pupil who told coroner 5
jury that all girls drink and smoke
or are left out.
Judge Max Luster, before whom
the case was tried after a jury of
prominent women sociologists and
welfare workers had been dismissed,
ruled that evidence against Mrs.
Liston was insufficient to warrant
charges that she connived at the
truancy Of her daughter.
Several witnesses testified that
Mrs. Liston was intoxicated several
times when they tried to check up
on Colrtta's absences from school
The Judges S criticism of the school
board was directed at insufficient
documentary evidence.
Colctta was a member Of a party
of high school jewellers when George
Lux was killed in an automobile ac-
cident. AT the inquest she recited
details of her g. Jazz age" compan-
ions, dwelling on liquor drinking by
school girls which. she said, was nee
essary if the girls were to have a
good time.
