WOMAN TAKES
- LAW COURSE AT
AGE OF 71 YEARS
ANN ARBOR, Mich., April 12.—
9*sy Todd Lee, 71 and English
bom, has just taken out her first nat
uralization papers. She will be more
than 7^i years old when she gets her
final papers, and becomes a citizen of
the United States.
At the time of life when most wo
men art' content to be just grandmoth-'
ers. Mrs. Lee is finding time for:
many things a busy youth and middle
^ige denied.
At 71 she has just completed a
course in law, having the distinction
of being the oldest woman to be grad
uated in law in this country—also
with the satisfaction of knowing that
never but once did her marks fall be
low 85 on a marking basis of 100 for
perfection.
“I may never practice law." says
Mrs. Lee, “but if we women get ti e
vote we shall need to know many
things about the laws. There are
enough men voting now who know
nothing about law, and not much
about anything else."

FOR FRESH EELS
PITTSBURG. Pa.. April Pi.—The
joy of* receiving fresh eels from south
ern mountain streams was turner into
* excitement at a local hotel the other
day when Jasper Took, a negro wait

as a joke thought it might work bet
ter by sending instead a small batch
of young black snakes just reaching
maturity.
'jasper with much ceremony got a
hatchet, after failing with a can open
er. A huge dish pan was made ready
to receive the eels. Jasper made a
good hole. A slimy little fellow slid
out into the pan, followed by a halt
dozen large snakes, when a waiter
recognised the type and shouted:
“Snakes!”
1 “1 done go*e lost mah appetite fo*
eels,” said Jasper, as he shot for the
hall door. In a few seconds the
snakes, not given to living in water,
began to crawl over the table, and
dropped to the floor. A policeman had
to be called in to “arrest” the reptiles
and quiet the waiters.
