PAGE EIGHT SIDELIGHTS By Marey B. Darnall SSSOSOSSSSESSOOLOHEEESOOS Because she chopped her hus- band’s body into 215 separate and distinct pieces, a newspaper declares Alexia Prokofieff, aged 27, “the worst wife in Russia.” The dispatch fails to state who counted the pieces. Before being awarded diplomas in the home economics course at the Michigan State College at East Lansing, the co-eds must eat an appreciable quantity of the food they prepare, as a part of their final examination. Truly an exciting test. Rey. Ira Landrith, national sec- retary of Christian Endeavor so- cities, advocates the installation of “courting booths’ in ali eharches. He wisely observes that “young people must get to- gether in some way, and if the ehurch does not supply the means they will find less desirable sur- foundings for their love-making.” Inmates of jails in the City of Mexico are to be paraded through the streets as an added humilia- tion. If that should: become the eustom in the United States, the sob-sisters would strew their line of: march with roses. Adherents of a queer sect in the mountains of New Mexico tor- ture themselves by walking over cactus and sharp stones during the Easter season, as a religious duty. Still some supposedly civil- ized people among us seem to be- lieve that the Almighty is pleased to*see us make ourselves miser- able all the time. While Roy A. McNeill languish- es’ in jail at Phoenix, Ariz., for y, his two wives live happi- ly ‘together in the same house. Which brings to mind someone’s immortal remark: ‘“Ain’t women funny.” Lina Cavaiierl, former operatic soprano, at the age of 52 is con- ducting a beauty parlor in Paris with 60 assistants. She retired from the stage with a fortune, and “ she is running her pres- e lishment not to make monéy, but because. she.is “in- terested in women.”’ Despite her age, Lina is still easy to look upon. It is reported that Turkish men are being hanged for refusing to give up the fez, while the woman persist in wearing the traditional scarf are “getting away with it.” fact that the scarf costs Jess than the hats which they are supposed to wear may account for the women’s immunity from prosecution. Padline Nixon of Texas began marrying less than four years ago, @t ‘the age of 15, and has so far had’ four husbands, naméd Carl- ton, Stagner, Winring and Page. She has already tied Peggy Joyce ‘the number of husbands, but is one divorce in the lead— or was up to a week ago. The second ~ annual Satsuma Blossom Festival is expected to at- tract many tourists and other Visitors to Mobile today. ““Buicides in New York City av- erage’ over two a day. About Women Miss. Mary Dillon the new presi- dent of the Brooklyn Borough Gas Company, of which she has been vice-president for several years, Mrs. Rebecca Greathouse, an assistant United States attorney of Washington, has been detailed to prosecute liquor cases in the national eaptial. Funeral services for Mrs. Re- beeca J. Fisher, a pioneer who died at the age of 95, were held in the state capitol at Austin, Tex., and the flag of the Texas repub- lic, under which she lived as a child, was flown at half mast. , It has been announced by the | School board at Kalamazoo, Mich., that women teachers who marry will thereby automatically termi- nate their contracts. Late estimates place the num- | ber of women and girls earning their own living in the United States at 8,000,000. Miss Lydia Hutchinson, an ex- pert dog driver, was one of the judges of the recent international dag race held at Ashton, Idaho. United States womtn include 8 aviatots, 27 inventors, 41 tech- nical engineers, 137 architects \and 2 forest rangers. Mme. Jaritza, stage favorite, i: suing a New York manufacture: for $25,000 because he used her nate for a brand of cigars with- out her permission. GO.ON FISHING TRIP Captain Ralph McNeely, com- mandant of the seventh naval dis- trict, and Capt. L. N. \ Linsley, captain of the yards, left this morfiing with a party of friends to spend the day fishing at Dry Tortugas. They will return to Key West tomorrow.
