Can't Stop a Woman From Changing Mind

1920

Girl's Damage Suit is On, Then Off, Now On Again

SAN FRANCISCO, California — As no one, not even a judge of the Superior Court, has the authority to question a woman's unalienable right to change her mind, no exception can be taken to Miss Helen Woodbury's indecision.

Recently Miss Woodbury, who is a stenographer, filed a $5,000 damage action against Mrs. Caroline Leebold alleging that Mrs. Leebold had enticed her to her apartment and then beaten her.

A few days later Miss Woodbury filed notice she wanted to dismiss the action. Now she has filed notice saying she wants to prosecute her damage suit.


Neighbors' Noses Scent Raisin Still

MINNEAPOLIS, Minnesota — Led by the suspicions of neighbors and unusual odors, Michael Johannes, city detective, and police operatives raided the home of T. O. Bailys, where they said they secured a still, two barrels of raisin whisky and eight barrels of raisin mash. The still and liquor were found on the second floor of the house, police said.

In the same room, according to the officers, was a quantity of apples, oranges and prunes, cut up and ready for use in the manufacture of a new various of liquor.
