Joint and equal guardians of their chill

have not adopted such laws yet. accord
ing to Mrs Catherine Waugh McCul-
loch. in addressing the National League
of Women Voters here today on the sub
iect Wife and Husband as Guardians.
twentieth century laws make wife
and husband joint and equal guardians
of their children. with equal powers con-
corning their custody. nurture. tuition,
earnings and services" said Mrs. Nc
Culloch In case of the death or in
capacity of either parent, these powers
devolvc upon the survivor. Indiana and
Vermont took this advance step during
the present session of the Legislature. In
several other states similar measures are
pending.
There are FIVE states which continue
the guardianship laws inherited from the
dark ages. and where the fathers abSo-
lutte power can only be partially mOdl-
fed under unusual circumstances. These
are:
'Delaware-The father may by deed
or will name a guardian for his child.
''Florida-A similar provision.
''Georgia-'he may appoint by Will.
Other sections are somewhat obscure.
Maryland and Tennessee-'the hus-
band may appoint by deed or will-un-
less he has abandoned his wife without
lawful cause" ..t
The only explanation fortsqch laws in
this century MAY be this. that most hus-
bands in these FIVE states have been much
more kind and Just than the law, 80 few
wives never discovered how cruel their
husbands might have been. Only devo-
tion to truth has necesSitated holding
up these five states as ''horrid exam
pies" Their very next legislatures may
place them in the first rank with states
having modern laws concerning the wife :
right to have an equal share in the guard
ianship 0f her child.

America to Prepare Early for
Trade In Near East.

CONSTANTINOPLE, April IFS
tablish yourselves in the foreign markets

tion has become normal" was the adj
vice given by United States High Com
missioner. Admiral Mark l.. Bristol. to
American business men at the recent
annual meeting OF the American cham
Der of commerce for the Levant.
About 1856 men were present, repre-
senting every American interest CEN
tered at ConstantnOple Each leading
American gave his views of conditions
and how to meet them. As Admiral
Bristol was absent aboard the cruiser
St. Louis, his address was read by she
secretary of the Young Mems Christian
association. Warren +. Bristol.
The admiral called attention to the
fact that all business has suffered Sc
veTelv in the llevant because of the
lack of peace and said that there would
be no stable business until many ma
tional aspirations had been settled, and
also that money exchange would not
stabilize itself until factories and farms
were working peacefully and the balance
of trade had been re-establlshed.
However, he insisted that those who
waited for better political conditions
would get into the field too late and be
at disadvantage with those who had
PUT their experts and their headquar-
tiers here now.
Consul general ,. Randall, .. who has
worked here many years to improve
American business relations. commented
favorably on the fact that United
States banking, shipping and importing
firms were definitely establishing them
selves in the near east, and stated he

well, Leyant house would be estab-
lished in New York.

GROUNDING BEATEN
BY WEATHER VANE
Geographic Society Throws Hint to Pessi-
miSts-SayS Temperatures. Are
Not Home Brewed

WASHINGTON. April u-Pcople
who complain about the weather, who
kick because it is too hot, too cold, or
too windy. as the case may be, were re-
minded yesterday by the National Geo
graphic society that the weather is not
home brewed.
Most of it comes sweeping i'm from
other countries, blowing up, beyond the
three-mile limit without passport or tar
iff restrictions. Some of it might bear
the brand. made in the l. s. A." but,
as a general thing. it is imported. For
the most part the American supply of
rain, SHOWS billiards.. cold waves and
hot waves. tOrnadoes and tcmpests, come
tumbling in from the Northwest and the
West. \ smaller percentage. the society
reports, comes from the north and the
southeast but now and then the wind in
the Gulf of Mexico and the south Allan
tic kicks up its heels, and there is trou'
bic.
But. say the learned mon of the Soci-
ETY.. il is worth noting that none of the
weather enters the country through the
Strentch of the Atlantic coast north of
Cape Ilatteras. the section INTO which
pours the vast bulk of material imports,
and which occurs II majority of the main
disasters on American shores.
There is some consolation to enthuSi-
aStS for the made in America" move
ment, the society SAYS. IN the fact that
the great majority OF disturbances thal
enter the states originate in Alaska, OF
in the great warm cauldron of the north
Pacific between the Alcutian islands an6
Hawaii. which is almost a United States
sea.
So the weather is not subject to reg
ulation. There is no way of suppressins
high and low disturbances. Atmospheric
pressure is boss of its own whims. The
grounding is not nearly so accurate q
prophet as a little vane at the edge OF
the sea.

Especial Despatch to The Reformer.)
Copyright 1921. 80 -..-
WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE first
month of the administration of President
Harding has passed so rapidly that to
most of the cabinet officers it has seemed
| like a week Viewing the work of the
new regime dispaSsionately and with a
recognition of the fact that Rome WASH t
built i'm a day, even the most ardent parti-
san will admit that a start has been made
on more problems in the last four weeks
than was possible in the last year OF the
preceding administration.
This doesn't necessarily imply criticism
Of the officials who tried hard to make
progress in the face of inevitable friction
between Republican congress and a
Democratic executive. But 1t proves that
when all branches of government are OF
one political complexion, decisions can be
made and things accomplished.
Office Seekers Pest.
President Harding was looked upon be
fore his election as a man of more or less
leisurely ways. He hasn't proved so in
office He has worked night and day. He
has gone at his job with a serious and
earnest mind. knowing full well that he
must satisfy an impatient electorate. Mr..
Harding feels that he has made Roadway
on many important matters, but if he
were to speak what is in his heart, he
fould tell the American public that the
individual who invented patronage and
the distribution of public offices for po-
Ilitical activity was really more of a ser
pent than the evil genius of ancient Eden.
Mr. Harding is peStered day and night
by the obligations of politics. 1t isn't that
he owes anybody anything, but members
of the senate and house must be kept
happy and they in turn are bothered by
hungry constituents.
Glad Handlers Welcomed.
Some idea of Mr.. Harding's feeling was
given John Kendrick Bangs, the other
day. when he dropped in at the white
house to pay his respects. Long lines OF
people had just passed through the execu-
tive offices, shaking hands. Mr.. Bangs
said to the President afterwards: 1T
must be tiresOme to shake hands with
so many people,
Not at ali" replied the President. 1T
is a relief and relaxation. All day long
most of my visitors come to me asking for
Something-cither offices or action on pub
lie matters. Everybody is asking for
something. But these people who come
to shake hands are not asking for any
thing. They come only with a smile or a
blessing. They come with cheerful faces

Critics Are Emerging.

/. Attorney General DoughertY, has had
the hardest job of anyone in the cabinet.
Not only has he a big administrative task
in running the department of justice, but
everybody seems to have picked him out
as the man through whom the President
can be reached The office seekers have
been crowding the corridors of the depart
ment of justice. Mr.. Dougherty has had
his hands full.
No analysis would be fair without re-
cording what the critics are saying. Crit
icism centers mostly. thus far. on the APP
pGintment of important diplomatic posts
such men as Colonel Harvey. who is to be
America ambassador to Great Britain.
The Republican party contains many able
men who are deserving of selection. An
other criticism heard is that Mr.. Harding
is making appointments too rapidly and
without consideration. Perhaps this is
due to the pressure for appointments and
an Impotence on the part of the executive
to get rid of as much of that pressure as
quickly as possible. The only other crit
iciSm of Importance comes from pro-
league voters who voted for Mr.. Harding
because they believed he would enter the
present league of nations and ratify the
Versailles treaty with such suitable reser-
yations. Their disappointment is not yet
read Mr.. Harding $ message of next Tues
day. But Mr.. Harding and his associates
interpret the last election as having
Fmeant an overwhelming repudiationsof the
league and treaty. And many millions of
people-not a few murmuring individuals
will have to express themselves to the
same effect before the Harding administra-
ti6n will be convinced that its interpreta-
ton Of the election mandate j. incorrect.
