31 JAIL TERMS IMPOSED ON WOMAN SPEEDERS Golumbus, ‘Ohio, Checking Trafio Violations by Making Prison Mandatory. CHARNKING CO-ED IS VICTIM Forced to Serve Day Under Rigid Restrictions. BY ROBERT T. SMALL. COLUMBUS, Ohio, May 23.—The women of the middle west have come into their very own. The fair femi- nine drivers of the automobile,” who cannot resist that impulse to step on the gas, are being sent to jail daily with the mere male of the species. The cities of this great central country are in league against the motor speed fiends. One by one they are falling in line with the plan of sending the fast drivers to the hoose- sow regardless of their station, their sex or their previous condition of servitude. The unwary visitor to Ohio must fare the same as the na- tive sons and daughters. It's jail for one and all. Jail Gets Best Results. Columbus is firmly committed to the new policy, and the city officials say that actual experience behind the more to check reckless riving than the imposition caviest fines. One of the latest victims of the new crusade is a beautiful co-ed at Ohio State University, Miss Gergiana Harkrader. ~Miss Harkrader 18 so her fellow students at the ected her a “rosebud” d her picture came out ollege paper the very day was in durance vile.

The “companions” were inly disap~ pointed. They had evidently hoped for something far more interesting. Then they told the girl their stories. The woman accused of second-de- gree murder was ome who the day before had tossed a bottle of acid on her sweeth: ‘who died from in- haling the fumes. She said she did it because of her great love for tha man, and she told the co-ed mever, never, never to fall im love with ‘&’ man. Wide-eyed and open-mouthed the “Rosebud” vowed then and there she never would. A number of other women have been similarly sentenced here since the new order was adopted The au- thorities say that in the end the jail- ing of all fast drivers is a protection or the motorists themselves.

She was given only one day and was al- Towed to serve it on the “union seale’ from 12 moon until 12 midnight. Usually the sentences run anm" three to thirty days. The “Rosebud” says she would simply have died if she had had to spend the whole night in jafl ‘with such “horrid company.” In this company there were .women charged with crimes running all the way from petty larcemy to second- " The older women in frankly surprised when, ames J.
