The second results in expulsion. It all started when a particn- larly beautiful girl crossed her) ees in the school library. A :‘-le student wrote her a note \asking for a date, and mention.d the knees. .. The girl went to the dean ‘said she had been insulted. “There’ll be no more {nsulted co-eds,” said Miss Wells. Hun. dreds went scurrying to buy bloomers because they wanted to y in school. The girl, a law dent, found a flaw the law, | ust reach to the top of hose” | and Mere M an Is Le(til.e; Of Battle in France Through the efforts of Senator Louis Martin (left), “father of in | feminism” in France, the Peincare Government has been pledged to o suppcrt & proposition for woman sufirage in municipal affairs. Mme. The Public Intcrnational Law!Maria Verone (right), feminist leader, holds the written promise of Premier Poincare. PARIS, Jan. 21--The “daddy’ of women sufirage, when it comes in France, will be Senator Louis Martin, France's leading minist and outstanding scrap- pepfor wopan's enfranchisement, Through his efforts, Premier Pincare was recently induced to pledge the government’s support to the proposition of municipal voting privileges for women, the first: step the present government has made toward recognition of feminist demands. Twice Senator Martin has pro- posed passage of women's suf- frage bills by the French Sen- ate, after they had been passed by the Chamber of Deputies. Both times the proposal was defeated. His latest effort to bring the mo- tion a third time before the Sen- ate was defeated in commit After that happened the ua- daunted ‘“‘father of feminism” was able to get the Poincare govern- ment's endorsement of municipal J ‘wnmrv suffrage and when the proposal comes to a - vote with the reconvention of the upper house early this year many astuto politicians are prophesying it will [pass. Mme. fof one Maria Verone, President of France's leading suf- [frage organizations, possesses a letter from Premier Poincare pledging the support of his gov- ernment ‘o the women’s muni- cipal vote proposition. If the Senate responds favor- ably to the government's recom- mendation French women will re- ceive municipal voting privileges in the 1929 elections along with the right to hold municipal of- fice. They will still have ahead of them the fight that American women won with the passage of the Susan B. Anthony amend- ment and which English women are now making in the “flapper vote” campaign, for equal voting jrights with men.

Future FOUR HOURS - WASHINGTON, Jan. 21—Advjs- ability of Congress taking action to promote development of the American Merchant Marine was discussed in the House for four hours yesterday and the debate made it cleap that many members have been giving considerable thought to the subject.

Representative Wood, Republi- can of Indiana, urged action on the bill sponsored by himself, de- signed to build a merchant fleet under the American flag. He said he did not indorse the bill as a cure-all but it would prove a step in the right direction, 89 Babies Born In Juneau 1927; Females in Lead Vital statistics at the U. S.
