The opening scene of this episode takes place in June, 1919. Mr. Stone is blaming the possibility of Prohibition being enacted on the suffragettes. The episode places great stress on the idea that if women get the vote that they will then be responsible for Prohibition passing. In fact, the 18th Amendment (Prohibition) had already been ratified six months prior to this scene--before women had the right to vote. The 19th Amendment (giving women the right to vote) had already passed the House and the Senate but had not yet been ratified. Also, the closing song is of Hoagy Carmichael singing "Stardust" which wasn't published until 1927.
