Eight hundred thousand women
in this country are going to say
yes" And they are not only 60

but they will pledge their undivid-

This is the campaign which the
National Federation Of Women s

federation meeting al San Francisco
during June viii be the occasion for
concerted action along this line.

said recently that, while persons
wishing divorce had to Law bare
many secrets to the judge, those
about TO be married were at liberty
10 walk TO an altar without telling
anybody anything about their
health morals habits Of life or fl

make marriage harder and divorce
still more so.
