Law Giving "horses
Rights for Women
(BY United Pressl


Denver, Colo, Dec. Colorado
women are completing plans today
to force through the legislature next
month Judge Ben Lindsey's bill pro-
viding maternity benefits and enti-
tied Horses Rights for Women" :"
The bill, the first of it's kind in this
country, provides that working wo-
man expecting to become a mother
may receive state aid. for a period
both before and after maternity.
'tThousands Of women and girls
work till within a few days of becom-
ing mothers" Judge Lindsey said to-
day, "and then return to work while
still weak. Their health and often
that of their children is permanently
injured. My bill would simply pro-
vide that the state give them the
same periods of rest that any wise
and humane farmer gives a horse OF
cow at such a time.
AT present we take better care OF
our cattle than we do of our mothers
I believe such a bill as Horses
Rights for Women would do away
with this evil. I feel that if we can
get it adopted in Colorado other
states will soon fall in line and it
will become a national reform"
