WOMAN AND THE LAW
WHEN IS 4 WIFE, 4
CHILD nv AMERICA?

Article I.
7 There are laws on the salute books
OF most OF our States which restrict
Z the rights Of the married woman with
respect to her separate property, her
business undertakings and her own
earnings in surprising ways. Vertiably
a wife is a child where these laws
hold.
BY GRACE JOHNSTON.
When our States were casting about
for a set Of laws 10 govern the peo-
ple someone came forward with
BlackstOne's writing of the common
law Of England. Il was a wonderful
bundle Of laws and 10 was adopted into
10y practically all our States. This old
common law of Blackstone contained
many determinations AGAINST woman. 10
made the husband sovereign Of the
household and the wife an adult
child"
To this day. all our states which
inherited the law Of England. retain
on their statues some determinations
against wives which trace back TO the
common law Of Blackstone.
Is Her Mind Unsound.
In regard to the wlfe's separate
property realty or personally which
was hers at marriage. the laws OF
many states handicap wives Unless she
prevents 10 by legal process. a wO-
mans property can be levied on for
her husbands debts in some states. In
a great many States, a wife cannot
dispose OF her real property or land
without her husbands consent. She
tsnnot dispose Of her personal prop
trty In some States without such con-
sent.
. In regard 10 the wlfe's separate bust
ness, the laws Of the States contain
some annoying remnants OF the old
common law. Two States, Louisiana
and West Virginia, class wives with
persons OF unsOund mind as unfit 10
make a legally binding contract. The
husbands consent is required In two
States before a wife may enter into
contract. In West Virginia. Michigan
and Alabama she cannot 90 into bust
ness without her husbands approval.
A married woman cannot go surety I
her husbands consent in some |
States, even though she have property /
0f her own which would cover the |
amount involved. In a number Of States /
women may not be stockholders or in |
corporators in a business company. A /
woman who has a husband cannot be /
Of an estate or eXecutHx .
1f will in some States, and In others .
she cannot sue without her husbands .
consent
When a Woman Earns.
In regard TO a wife's earnings and
profits. the laws Of most States say
hat the wife's earnings, "aquets" or
gains are her Own-but with lmita-
ions. In a number Of States they are
Ter own only If she lives separate from
Ter husband. In six or more states the
aw says that a wife cannot demand
lay for work in her husbands bust
less. in West Virginia il a wife goes
mt TO work each day, what she brings

she earns goes TO her husband
The just law on this subject would
provide that a wiie's earnings outside
the home were her own and that for
work in her husbands business o wife
he paid in proportion TO her services.
Such a provision would soon bring de-
mand for a law 10 hold the wage
earning wife responsible for her share
Of the family support In about two
thirds Of our States. there is legislation
holding wives with separate property
and wives who earn money to such re-
sponsibility.
Her Day is Coming.
When the wife has obtained pay for
work In her husbands business it Is
logical TO ask why should she not have
aNy pay for work In his home? No
state has laws which actually recognize
this right In some codes blanket state
mentA assuring 10 the wife the neces-
saries Of existence, making the home
stead secure TO her, etc. are found. One
State provides that II a woman, besides
her duties In the household works also
in her husbands business, she may
claim a definite share Of the family In
come.
The day is coming when no wife will
work merely for her keep. She will be
by law entitled to a definite share OF
the family income Already wives in
eight Of our western States have this
right BY the community property
law, inherited by these States from
the French and Spanish settlers, the
wife can demand half the family in
come. The community property laws as
they now stand. contain some discrim-
nations against wives, but they con-
tain the germ Of justice and because Of !
This should be on the statutes OF all |
our States.
The new League of Women Voters is |
planning 90 continue the effort Of suf- |
'ragists TO wipe out thess old iniustices /
against wives. Laws which make the /
modern wife a child are out Of har-
nOny with the times and unworthy a /

Cecilia, slgnlfylng blind, Is said TO be

The Irish have adopted 10 as Sile or
Sheelah. Celie and Celia are used both
IN France and England. probably under
some mystic notion Of the connection
with Heaven. whose Latin name Is
Caelum. II Is said that the prevalence
OF Celia IN English towns Is due partly
TO the popularity OF the Irish Shealah
and partly TO a confusion with Ce-
ella.

LOVE-.

Great are the mysteries Of godli-
ness! In these mysteries we get the
great secret force--love-that pur-
chased mans soul. / know that God
loves the world. | know that God
loves me. My Bible and the God
that it reveals outshines everything
else. 1t puts fire in my bones that
burns with pure love for my worst
enemies. This secret force is from
above. 1t bears the stamp of reve-
lation, and the soul of the Man Who
died for me. The story of Christ
tells all about doing good while bear
ing the cross. 1t tells us all how to
live; it tells us how to bid this world
goodbye; it tells us all what we will
be after death. Father, Father, this
being true, we need real ministers,
filled with a love that loves. We
need Your Dear Son on earth again
to clean up the churches, to cast the
devils out, to heal the sick and to take
the little ones in His arms again.
O, Father, where is the key to mans
heart, mans happiness, duty and des-
tiny? "Thou shalt love the Lord thy
God with all thy heart, with all thy
soul, with all thy strength, and thy
neighbor as myself" This gets all
the man for God. Father, where is
the key to our republic? Where is
the key to safety for ma nat home
and abroad? "Let everything that
hath breath praise the Lord" Father
tell us what is wrong that our church
es are dead and our leaders can do
nothing easy? Is it not written, "Let
him that gloreth glory in the Lord?"
Father, why is there so much treble
everywhere? "The soul that sim
meth it shall die" Father, what must
we do? cease we from man whose
breath is in his nostrils." o, God, we
must have help! My message from
the beginning was to Glove one
another" The Lord that loves will
give US peace and save the world.
Nothing else can do it.

TEETH

Your teeth are to chew and smile
With. If you tried to chew without
teeth you would chew in vane, and
if you tried to smile without them
you would of looked mulch better if
you hadent.
Ladies with bewtifill teeth smile
he offenest, being more on account
of having bewtifill teeth than on ac-
count of having funnier Instincts. If
you SUDDENLY went up to lady with
bewtifill teeth and asked her wat she
was smiling at, she would proberly
lest close her smile with no anser.
Everybody has 80 teeth belonging
to them, ony meny people have spaces
and teeth insted of all teeth. Nobody
can have 80 teeth and spaces besides
People with their spaces rite in frunt
are less bewtifill but easier to remem-
Der.
Babies have no teeth to begin with
making their mouths feel so vacant
that they try to stick everything in
hey can get hold of. Wen a baby
gets it's ferst tooth its a sign that its
going to get more, and the hole fam
lily thinks it has did sumthing Won
1irfill, and the baby would proberly
think so too, ony it cant think yet,
A few things that are ba dior the
teeth are as follows, picking them
With pins, biting stones and other
hard substances, getting hit in the
mouth with fists, and falling on the
face frum high distances.
The teeth should be brushed at
leest once a day weather they need
it or not.

One of the best known physical experts in the country

The best plan to adopt in selecting bathing suit is to
apply the good taste that you when you buy

You do not then look for or purchase something that

When you buy bathing suit buy a sensible suit that

Perverse Humanity.

Wherever men assemble, in wilder
ness or street, they make the welkin
tremble with bowls about the heat.
And there are countless critters, all
bathed in summer sweat, who sign
for gin and bitters, to make them hot
ter yet. But recently red liquors
were banished from the stores, and
there are countless kiquors who miss
the swinging doors, who miss the old
barss railing, the old time forty
drops; and they put up their wailing,
and fill the air with yawps. But in
the bright hereafter, the golden years
to come, they'll greet with jeering
laughter the very name of Rum.

They'll wonder much how mortals
whose sanity got by, could seek these
swinging portals, to douse their
works with rye, to pay good coin for
sickness and sorrow and disgrace,
and throw, with crazy quickness, red
poison through their face. Some men
have had their bitters since first their
whiskers grew, and now, unwilling
cutters, they raise a howdy-do. But
when they've learned to swallow cold
water, plain, undyed, to fill the ach-
ing hollow that each one has inside,
they'll wonder, oh, they'll wonder, in
groups of threes and twos, how in the
name of thunder they ever cared for
booze.
