CLAUSES OF THE
LIQUOR CONTROL
ACT ATTACKED
Discrimination Charged in
Giving Druggists All
of the Privileges

Hartford, Conn, April 10-CUP)
ALLEGED discriminatory clauses of
the state liquor control act were
attacked today by package store
owners as being unconstitutional
as permitting only persons with
red hair and republicans to dis
pense liquor without restriction. In
compliance with an order of a
constitutional court, cnvoened to
pass on the validity Of the act as
allegedly discriminates between
package store owners and drug
gists, counsel for william Shore,
Hartford grocer and package store
owner, filed a brief with the clerk
of the U. s. District court here late
yesterday.
The document claimed that the
legislature. In adopting an amend
ment to the act permitting drug
gists to sell longer hours and In
smaller quantities, deprived pack
age store permittees of their con-
stitutional rights under the 14th
amendment. THE amendment OF
June T." the brief pointed out. by
relieving druggists from practically
all statutory restrictions thereby
made those very restrictions arbi-
trarily discriminatory and there
fore unconstitutional" Differences
in the hours during which sales
ma ybe made by druggists and
package stores, adherence to zon-
ing ordinances and unfair competi-
ton, formed the basis of argu-
ments for repeal Of the statute.
HE (the plaintiff) says" the
brief states, "even in a case of
liquor control, you may not class
ify the population into those who
have red hair and those who have
not; and provide that those who
have red hair may get a permit to
sell at any hour. whereas those
who have black hair will he able
to sell liquor on Mondays. He says
you cannot legislate SO that only
shall be permitted to
sell liquor within the confines or

Fuller O84S) Rev. J. May U845) and Lucy
Stone Q84D were among the earliest pioneers
for womans rights, their feeble efforts being
strengthened by such men as William Lloyd
Garrison Wendell Phillips and Gerrit Smith.
But the real organized movement for equal
political rights dates from 1848, and from this
time on it continually gained in force, except
during the years 1861 to 1865, when no par
ticular effort was made to agitate the matter.
Seneca Falls N Y, was the place where
the first convention was held, and this was
on July 19 and 20, 1848. Lucretia Mott, Mar
tina A. Wright, Mary Ann McClintock and
Elizabeth Cady Stanton were in attendance.
Miss Anthony not there for she did not
attend her first woman's rights convention un-
til September 8, 1852, when it was held in
Syracuse.
IN WASHINGTON the movement for equal
J suffrage probably had its beginning In 1867.
as we are informed by The Star of July OF
that year, which says:
Equal Rights Meeting-Female Suffrage
meeting was held last evening at room No.
H. Washington Building, for the purpose Of
forming Equal Rights Association, which
was attended by ladies and gentlemen OF both
colors. Mr.. John H Crane presided and Mrs.
j. A. Archibald acted secretary The OBJ
ject of the association is to secure equal rights
to all American citizens, without regard to race
color or sex The meeting was conversational
in its character, and after the constitution Of
the American Equal Rights Association had
been read for information, Mr.. Crane remarked
that there was q great feeling favorable to
the extension Of women's rights in the minds
of intellectual gentlemen throughout this coun-
try and Europe, and he believed that Congress
would fav0rably consider petition at the next
session asking for female suffrage.
Mrs A. J. Grin said that it was an insult

suppose 1t will be necessary to make, desire
you would remember the ladies and be more
generous and favorable TO them than were
your ancestors" Incidentally Mrs. Adams Is
generally regarded having been the most
intellectual wife of President ever to occupy
the White House.
Two years later find it said, Mrs. Cor
bin, sister of Richard Henry Lee of Virginia,
presented her own petition for the right to
vote" And while in the Continental Congress
it may be recalled that it was this distin-
guished brother of Mrs. Corbin who brought
forward the resolution, in accord with instruc-
tions given in the Virginia convention Of May
IT, l776 declaring that these United Colonies
are, and of right ought TO be, free and indie
pendent States" He was also the author Of
the first national Thanksgiving day proclama-
ton, issued by Congress at York, Pa, October
81, 1777, after the capture of Burgoyne army
at Saratoga N Y, which occurred October II
OF that year.
THE Continental Congress had enough prob
] lens to work out without undertaking TO
provide for equal suffrage as IN q way, sug-
gested by Abigail Adams, and hence the matter
was left to the States to settle in their own
way. New Jersey rather anticipated this course
and conferred the franchise on "all inhab-
itants" worth $50 pounds proclamation money"

Jersey availed themselves of the privilege

the law restricting suffrage to white male
citizens only.

behalf OF political liberation and in 1886 We
find Ernestine L. Rose securing for the married
women of New York certain property rights

In One-Year-Unit Courses,
Principal Announces.

p. j. Leverone, principal of Colum-

announces that. an unusually heavy
enrolment Is being received for the
schools new one-year-unit courses in
specialized branches of engineering.
These include airplane design, stress
analysis, mechanical, architecture,
aerial navigation, marine navigation,
machine design, electrical, aerial sur
veying and mapping, refrigeration,
heating and ventilation, surveying and
map compilation, structural steel,
building construction, highway and
bridge, air conditioning, reinforced
concrete, steam and gas power, land
scape architecture, radio and televi-
sion and combustion engines.
During the last three years the
schools have noticed an increasing
demand for specialized instruction. In
the old days a degree in mechanical
or civil engineering usually qualified
graduate to hold an engineering DO
sition IN many different branches of
work, however, today such is not the
case. Under mechanical engineering
are now found many specialized types
OF work such as heating and ventilat-
ing engineering, air conditioning en-
cheering, refrigeration engineering,
steam and gas power engineering and
structural steel design, each requiring
special training and experience.
