By MARCY B. DARNALL, Former Editor of The Key West Citizen years for slashing the throat of his bride of three months. He pleaded in extenua- tion that she had bit him and hit him with apiek handle. A press dispatch says that after the verdict was read “Bruce was per- mitted to chat for several minutes with his, wife, who was in the courtroom,” Which almost reads like a happy ending. o. ™,. Another fellow who fooled the doc- tgs: is William Haas of South Carolina, ngw 88. At 18 he was turned down when hg wanted to enlist. as a soldier, because herhad a weak heart, and has never been able to get life insurance for the same rea- sen, His wife, who was a frail girl when hé inarried her 64 years ago, is still living. oe: «= ‘Lawrence County, Tennessee, boasts o&d bull calf which weighed 150 pounds af,5irth. The owner had to get another “fyésh” cow because the calf’s mother only gfves half-enough milk to sustain her enor- nous infant. The Lawrenceburg Demo- crét-Union assures us that there is no “bull” about this story. * ee An unusual collection of love letters written by famous men, including Lord Nelson, Benjamin Franklin, Nathan Hale affd. others, was recently placed on display bg the Rosenbach Company of New York. Sgpte of them were pretty mushy, even as those of today, and the imaginary ones of Andy to Madam Queen.

A mysterious cablegram te*her husband said a 9-pound son had been born. Husband Hutton said “Impos- | sible.” Hospital attendants laughed at the idea The attending physician said noth- ing But Aimee got on the front page ote more. Nineteen communities of Fayette Connty, Alabama, joined in a rat-killing campaign whereby it is said that some 30,- 060 of the rodents were done away with. Its estimated that each rat destroys ‘about $2 worth of property a year. Possibly a®at-killing campaign on a national scale might be a better activity for the C. C.

The list includes: Bowling is illegal in Ohio. Women’s bathing suits worn on South Park Beach in Chicago, must have quarter arm sleeves. It is illegal to peel an orange in a Cal- ifornia hotel room. Hire your neighbor’s cook and you can be imprisoned in Florida. A North Carolina statute says twin beds must be at least two feet apart. In Vancouver, Canada, it is unlawful to ride a tricycle more than 10 miles an hour. In Kansas a law requires that every public building be provided with a suffi- cient number of cuspidors. It is against the law in Nebraska for women to wear skirts more than eight inch- es from the floor. In Joliet it is unlawful for women to try on more than six dresses in one store. In Massachusetts it is illegal for a wo- man to appear in public with her face pow- dered or rouged; also for anyone to pro- mote a masked ball. A Wisconsin law forbids the use of a phonograph. In Bellingham, Wash., a law provides that a woman must not take more than three steps backward at a time when danc- ing. In New York it is illegal to have a gate that opens outward. One must get a permit from the sher- iff to buy a chicken after dark in Idaho. It is illegal for a woman to wear a bracelet watch on her ankle in Elizabeth, Tenn. Fishing from the back of any animal is illegal in Idaho. In Connecticut it is against the law to shave on Sunday. Wild men or wild women cannot be exhibited in Nebraska. A statute in Kansas requires that ev- ery able-bodied citizen between the ages of 21 and 60 shall kill grasshoppers one day each year. An ordinance in Lake Forest requires that every automobile on the street shall be preceded by a bicycle so pedestrians may get out of the way. In South Dakota when trains meet at a crossing of two railroads each must wait until the other crosses, The Tampa Tribune adds as a contri- bution to the above list that under the Flor- ida law, a woman can be convicted and punished for rape—and one is now serving a life sentence for that crime—and the rea- son for it is easily éxplained, The Tribune concludes. COLLEGE MORALS In what amounted to a defense of present-day college students charges of immorality which are often heard, Dr. Sweet of the divinity school of Chicago’ University recently told of condi- tions in our leading colleges in the early days. During Colonial times and for years following the Revolution religion was at its lowest ebb, according to Dr. Sweet, and even in the universities Amer- icans were hardly touched by the church. This is asserted by some of the early presi- dents of the universities themselves. Lyman Beecher is quoted as saying that at Yale in 1790 most of the students were skeptics, while “rowdies were plenty and wine and liquors were kept in all the rooms,”” Similar conditions were reported about the same time at Harvard and Dart- mouth, at the latter it being said that in 1799 there was only student who claimed to be a Christian. Ashbel Green, who was president of Princeton from 1812 to 1822, writes that there were not more than five students who did not use profane guage in common times of the most shocking kind.” Bishop Meade has declared that the Episcopal college of William and Mary was during this period “‘a hotbed of infidelity and of the wild politics of France. In spite of the conditions noted by Dr. Sweet and others, however, it seems that most of these wild students of early days turned out fairly well and many of them became leaders in the building of the new republic. Perhaps those of the present will do equally well have had their jazz age fling. some one six lan or conversation, | compiles a list of freak laws on the statute | against | “some- | after they THE KEY WEST CITIZEN ACROSS 1.
