Now that all adult citizens. regardless Of sex. are
to enjoy the right to vote civic status of mar
ried women is of more general concern than it has
been considered heretofore. The present method of
raturaizing married women needs constructive re-
vision.
The League Of Women Voters adopted a resolu
zion urging independent citizenship for married
women. Both Of tho leading political parties have
come out in favor Of a similar plan II is quite
Erely that the next congress viii give this subject
active consideration.

spite OF the fact that ne may neither be qualified

The fact that an American woman marrying an

separate action would make the step unduy eX

naturalized. Educational opportunities for immi-

the men This is another handicap.
None Of these problems are beyond solution and
some Of them are already approaching normal
readius,ment Tho adoption of the 18th amend
nent simply focuses attention on them and makes
their early solution of vital importance.

To call Columbia college.

But all in vain, I couldn't get

The thought that science Is a pest.
