SONG FOB A LITTLE HOUSE
I’m glad our house is a little house.
Not too tall, not too wide; ,
I’m glad the hovering buterflies.
Feel free to come inside.
Our little house is a friendly house,
It is not shy or vain,
It gossips with the talking trees,
And makes friends with the rain.

fine could not be worked out under
the law in the Illinois State Re-
formatory for Women.
Although the Appellate Court re-
reversed the judgment and remand-
ed the cause, Attorney Westbrooks
is preparing to carry the case to the
State Supreme court for further
consideration as he states that un-
der the law, the Illinois State Re-
formatory for Women is a peni-
tentiary and that the Municipal
Court of Chicago has no jurisdic-
tion to try a female person over
the age of 18 years without an in-
dictment as this violates the Con-
ititution of the State of Illinois arid
the 14th Amendment of the United
States Constitution.
He states that, this decision of the
Appellate Court is contrary to the
previous decision of the Illinois Su-
preme Court and the Supreme
Court of the United States. He fur-
ther state* that female persons who
have been' convicted of serious
crimes should not be mingled with
ihose who commit 'minor offenses.
This decision is looked upon as one
of vast importance.
Westbrooks also states that the
possession of “marihuana” is not
made a criminal offense by the
Statute unles sthe "Resin" has not
been removed .
