Los Angeles Judge Declares Women
May Use Tobacco If They
Wish.
Los Angeles.—Benjamin J. Morton
was opposed to having women smoke,
he declared in Judge Grail's court,
where he won a decree from Leonora
Morton. His views, however, differed
from those of the judge. ,
“She smoked my tobacco,” said
Morton.
“Do you smoke?” asked the judge.
“Oh, yes.”
“Well, hasn’t she as much right to
smoke as you?”
“Of course she hasn’t. She is my
wife. Wives shouldn’t smoke.”
“Well. no man who himself
smokes gets a divorce from this
court just because his wife, too.
smokes,” stated the court, but he
added that since the evidence showed
tb^:, woman had deserted her husband
he might have a decree.
“Somebody Will Grab You.”
Ijos Angeles.—Darwin J. Deekard
“didn’t have sense enough” to keep
his wife, so lie wrote her. and the wife
came to divorce court seeking a di

“Dearest: I guess you’ll be better off
with your divorce. Somebody will grab
you sure. I didn’t have sense enough
to keep you.”
