!. Woman and The Law
b W. G. LOVE, Houston. Texas.

20 much has been said and written
recently Of the demands of women
for political equality" and equal
rights before the law" that it may
clarity the situation somewhat to IN
derstand what rights women now have
and what privileges they now enjoy
under our "man-made" laws.
An investigation of our statute laws
and court decisions will disclose the
fact that women now have many rights
and enjoy many privileges not accord
ed to men It is my purpose to men
ton a few of them
Wife May Loaf.
Onder the law as it now is man is
legally liable and responsible for the
support and maintenance of his wife
and her minor children, while woman
IS not liable for the support of her
husband or their children. The law does
not even require q wife to assist her
husband in his efforts to provide her
with the food she eats, the clothes she
wears or the roof that shelters her
from the storm She is not REQUIRED
by law to keep house for him while he
is engaged in the work of earning her
livelihood.
Separate Estate.
The husbands separate estate-the
money and property owned by him
before marriage-may be seized and
sold to pay for his wife's support and
maintenance and to pay community
debts contracted by the husband or
wife during marriage, while the wife's
separate estate is not liable for COM

The rents and revenues from the hus-
bands separate estate, including the in
terest on his separate money and divi-
dends on his stocks and bonds. is COM
munity property and is also liable for
community debts contracted by the
husband and wife during marriage, but
all such rents. revenues, interest and
dividends from the wife's separate es-
tate may be controlled and disposed of
by the wife alone, and are not liable
for community debts. The personal
earnings of the husband during mar
riage are liable for all community
debts, including those contracted by the
wife, for the maintenance of herself
and children, but the personal earnings
of the,wife during marriage are subject
to her control and disposition and are
not liable for community debts con-
tracted by the husband, though in
CURED for the. support of the wife and
children
Not only is the husbands separate
property liable for the wife's support
but he is held responsible for her sup
port by our criminal law, and should
he fail to perform his duty in that re-
gard he may be punished by imprison-
ment in the county Jail.
widows Rights.
Upon the death Of a man leaving a
wife surviving him she is entitled to
have set apart to her out of his estate,
free from the claims of creditors, first
a homestead or an allowance in lieu
thereof to the amount of $4,000; sec
ond, an allowance for one years sup
port not to exceed $1,000; and, third,
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1916-05-06

an allowance in lieu OF exempt property
not to exceed $500. For example, IL a
man dies leaving a wife surviving him
and an estate of the value of $500, and
his estate, the widow may have the
entire estate set aside to her and the
creditors get nothing, even though their
claims are secured by mortgages upon
his property. on the other hand. should
the wife die leaving a surviving hus-
band, he is entitled to none of these
allowances.
Exemptions OF Women.
Men may be compelled by law to at
tend court as witnesses in civil cases,
while women can not be. Men may be
compelled by law to work the roads
five days in each year, while women
are exempt from such service Men
may be compelled to serve on turtles
aid in the arrest of criminals and serve
as members Of a posse comitatus to
suppress riots, preserve the peace and
protect property. Women are exempt
from these duties.
The law recognizes that women have
not the strength or endurance OF man
and in many states it protects female
employees by limiting the hours their
employers may require them to work
requires that they be furnished with
seats. rest rooms and facilities to pro-
mote their comfort and protect their
health, but such consideration or pro-
lection is not extended to men.
Special Protection.
In our criminal statutes the sane
preference and privileges appear An
assault committed by a man upon an
other man or by a woman upon an
other woman is simple assault the
maximum punishment for which is a
fine Of S25, while an assault committed
by man on a woman is an aggra-

Late Snows in Scotland
Kill Many Deer and Wild
Birds In The Highlands

Edinburgh, Scotland. May 6.-Aa a
result of the snowstorms of the latter
part of March, there has been a high
mortality among deer and wild birds in
the Scottish highlands. Not in the
memory of the oldest inhahitant have
the effects Of the winter been so severe
as this year.
Reports gathered by the local au-
thorities show that many hundreds OF
deer, particularly kinds, were frozen
TO death or died from exposure In
some cases hand feeding by kindly To-
cal residents saved the deer from star
