Mar. 13. —(U.R) — I Puffing a cigar and fearing she would have to don a skirt for the first time in lief life. Jacqueline Moret, 24, nretty and tough, started a term in the Colorado sta'>e prison here today for a holdup in Casper. Wyo. “Maybe they’ll have a few big rocks left which can be made into little ones." she said, blowing a couple of smoke rings and spitting with thej accuracy of an Ozarker. “Do you reckon they’ll make me wear a skirt?" she asked Sheriff G. j O. Housley of Casper who brought , her here because Wyoming has no , penitentiary quarters for women. To the world in general and to the sheriff in particular. Miss Moret boasted of having run liquor across | th<- Canadian border, dealing blackjack at Tia Juana, tending bar in San Francisco, working as a stoker on a trip to Alaska and harvesting wheat. “None of ’em ever found out I was a woman. ” Asked if she numbered any of the domestic arts in her array of talents, she answered: “Naw.” and took a hitch at her trousers, “And you don't crochet?” a cynical i reporter commented. “What in the hell is that?" Then came the warden with the sad news that women wear skirts in h.!s prison. o Co-eds Woo Popularity; Give Ten Commandments For Girls; Necking Taboo Seattle, Wash , March 13 —(UP) —i Necking is frowned on by co-eds of the University of Washington, but they ; see “no harm in kissing a boy friend of whom they are particularly fond of”. This interesting attitude was disclosed in the “ten commandments of popularity” adopted by a group of coeds. Sex appeal comes first, they agreed but, after that, what makes a girl popular? So they listed their ten commandments : 1. Always be a “lady.” 2. Use good taste in selecting your clothes and do not let actions belie that taste. 3. Always be a good sport. Do what the majority wants, but not to the detriment of your own convictions and ideals. 4. Play bridge, tennis, golf, swim and dance. If not all, then do these two certainly. Play Bridge and dance. 5. Read the papers. Know your current events, politics and athletics. It is well to converse on serious topics ' as well as light ones. 6. Handling a “line” is helpful. Even if you are not the type, this “you-great I big-w.ondrful-boy” stuff does get over, i when used in moderation, of course. 7. Do not neck. If a girl Is charming and peppy enough to interest a boy 1 she need not worry about being the 1 gold-digger type- - 8. Do not kiss promiscuously. There is no harm in kissing a boy friend of j whom your are particularly fond. ■ 9. Dtess attractively, but not necesi rarity expensively. A boy notices the 1 general effect you produce, so he as pretty as you can. 10. First, last and always—Be femin- ) ine.

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT WEDNESDAY. MARCH 13, 1929.

VONPORATIS BIG SURPRISE By Bert Demby (United Press Staff Correspondent) Chicago. March 13—(UP)—Dormant boxing ability, which was not shown until last night, today enabled Otto Von Porat, young Norwegian, to pro ject himself into the group of leading heavyweight fighters, who have hopes of assuming the title which the retirement of Gene Tunnoy left vacant Von Barat, heretofore regarded as a man who possessed a hard right swing and little else, surprised 11.000 people last night by outpointing Tom Heeney New Zealander, whose claim to heavyweight recognition has rested on his boxing ability. Tile Norwegian exhibited a left hand jab which held Heeney at Ray and lie combined the left with a right cross which rocked the New Zealander. Before the fight the opinion was expressed that Von Porat's sole chance of victory was by a knockout. The theory prevailed that the New Zealander was so far the better boxer that he would have little trouble winning a ten round decision. However, there was one fact evident in his work last night. He invariably kept his jaw well protected and since that jaw is almost a dead ringer for I the famous “class corner" possessed I by Fred Fulton, it looks as though he I may not be able to take punishment I on it. But if he continues to use his long reach as he did last night, there certainly is no one who can swing far eni ugh to reach the jam from long 1 range and the fighters who can penetrate the defense he showed against ' Heenev are scarce. ” • Four Alleged Bank Bandits Are Held At Defiance. Ohio Defiance, March 12—Blackpack and the old army game poker from the diversions of four men as they lie in the Defiance county jail here waiting to learn their fate as the result of being indicted for the $9,150.50 holdup February 27 of the National bank at Hicksville, O, in the western edge of the county.

Passing of sentence on the three who pleaded guilty was deferred indefinitely by the judge. It is believed that he will wait until after Kowalski’s case is disposed of Stevens, Halterman and Maynard also have given writte confessions to Prosecutor Jay ft. Pollock.
