ETHEL ERNEST MURRELL
sessesssseeLssssssssssss
The greatest danger to women
in the United States is unwar-
ranted complacency.
The right to "life, liberty, and
the pursuit OF happiness" for all
citizens ,presupposes that all citi-
zens; enjoy equality under the
But as our laws stand today in
Florida, no such equality exists.
Single women are indeed con-
sidered adult legal beings, with
the right to conduct themselves
and heir affairs as such.
Married women, however, are
in class with minors and can
not be said to enjoy full citizen
ship under the Constitution of
the United States.
Twenty-Five years ago Alice
Paul kindled a flame which re-
suited in the enfranchisement of
women throughout the United
States. Unfortunately that move
ment has not been carried to its
logical conclusion.
Like fever swamps, certain Sec
tons of the country still lie stag
nant and unmoved, guarding a
plague of inequality from the
light of better legislation.
What a pity that our Florida
should be among these plague
spots AS we cleared the state
of yellow fever, let us now de-
mand that these unequal mar
ried women laws be wiped off
our statute books.

The IS officers and 300s ven
listed men who will be in the
group will play an integral party
in the social and economic life of
the city. Lieut. Fort H. Gala
han, officer in charge of the Naval
Station, will have cocktail
party honoring the officers and
will invite prominent Key West
citizens. 1t is customary for the
city usually to hold a welcome
dance for the officers and another
for the men at which the group
makes acquaintance. After this
introduction to the city the groups
usually become a party of the
life of the city.
Key West, long known as a
naval base, will recall many
years of brilliant entertainments
in honor of officers and sailors in
its colorful past of Civil, Spanish

new FREE ACT
AT PARK DRAWS
LARGE CROWDS
MANY OTHER ADJUSTMENTS
TO BE SEEN q NIGHTLY
FURNISH MUCH r ENTER
TAINMENT itRiS W"<t o. -at.

With a new free act, new shows
and other attractions, Key West
Park which is being sponsored
by the Key West Fire Depart
ment and located on Trumbo Is
land is drawing larger crowds
each night and is proving by far,
the most popular amusement GEN.
ter ever seen in this city, it is
stated.
The new free act featuring the
Flying SullivanS, two men and a
woman doing a very sensational
flying trapeZe act proved very
popular last night when they
thrilled the thousands with their
daring feats performed 40 feet in
the air. The one trick that held
the crowd spellbound was, where
Mr.. Sullivan, carrying a flag in
one hand does. a double somer-
sault from one atrapeze and
catches the man On the other end
by one arm and returns to his
platform the same way.
Paradise Revue also proved
popular and catered to roughly
$50 people last night with almost
half of them being women. This
show is presented in neat and
refined way and should prove the
most popular of the shows now
exhibiting in the park. The
'Shuflin Sam from Alabam" 40
people minstrel show had not ar
rived at noon today, but the
large tent is already up and
waiting for them, and in all
probability they will be here in
time to perform tonight.
The ]. P. is still drawing
crowds and last night the first j..
P. of $500 was forfeited by
Warren A. Bethel of 813 Eaton
street, and the second J. P. of
$4,000 was forfeited by Jackie
Richardson of 701 Florida street,
which will make the first J. P.
tonight $500. The first j. P. to-
night will be awarded at z
o'clock instead of o'clock as last
night, and will continue so until
further notice.
Today and tonight will be
Ladies and Riddles day and
night, when all ladies and chill
dren will be admitted to the
many riding devices for five
cents until midnight.
