HOME FOR FALLEN WOMEN

The Federated Club women Of Mis- sissippi have interested themselves In the passage of a bill creating a home for fallen women and have seen it go through the Senate with flying colors When the bill came up for consideration one dav this week two of the foremost women of the state were granted the privilege of the floor and spoke for a few minutes in the support of the measure that was close to their hearts. These women were Mrs. Lizzie George Henderson of Greenwood daughter of the lamented United States Senator J. z. George, and Mrs. c. H. Alexander of Jackson
 widow of the late c, H. Alexander, one of the foremost lawyers of the state and candidate for the United States Senate against Vardaman several years ago. They both spoke plainly but mod
 estfy of the necessity for such an in
 stitution-a home where lost womne
 could be cared for and brought back
 to a. decent life-and the prospect is that they are going to get it.

in Detroit by Stern Man.
date of the Law

DETROIT, Mich - >Twenty-six
brides, all under sixteen years, will
| have to forsake their domestic du-
ties. and return to the grade schools,
according to a ruling of Arthur L.
| Lederle. chief attendance officer Of
the Detroit board of education. Judge
Henry S. Hubert, in probate court,
has also ruled that, under the Michi-
igan law all children must attend
can see no reason why marriage
should make a difference. Judge
Hubert in a few days will give his
decision in the case of Agnes Bauer
| fifteen-year-old bride. who was mar
ried in Windsor in April and whom
the attendance officer says must go
to school.
Since the first of the year there
have been twenty-siX girls attend
ing the grade schools who have been
sicians hav: made affidavits to the
effect that they are not in physical
condition to attend school, the at
| tendance department has taken the
case into court, and as result they
have been ordered back to school.
| 1--WE have gone into the matter
thoroughly, and while there is moth
ing in the school law to prevent girls
under sixteen getting married, young
brides of that age must go to school
full time the same as their unmar-
ried sisters" Lederle said.
The ruling of the attendance Off
Ger and the probate Judge may con-
f1ict with Section $50, public acts
of 1915, which says: 1.-THE legal
marriage of minor shall release
such minor from parental control
and the husband or wife of minor,
so released, shall be entitled to the
same rights. benefits and privileges,
and such minor shall be subject to
the same duties, liabilities and re-
spons1bilities. as such husband or
at the time of their marriage"
Whether or not this act makes a
bride under sixteen master of her
destiny as far as going to school
is concerned is question which the
attorney for the Bauer girl will ask
the courts to decide.
