WOMEN TO DISCUSS
A2QTH AMENDMENT
FOR SEX EQUALITY
Consumers League Chal
lengeS National Woman'S
Party to Debate.

VIII women gain by the proposed
twentieth amendment, equalizing the
rights Of men and women under the
law? This will be the subject at the
dinner debate at the Hotel Commo-
Gore tonight between the National
Consumers League and the National
Woman's Party.
The National Woman's Party is
sponsoring blanket document
known as the "Woman's Charter"
which it is anxious to embody in
national legislation as the twentieth
amendment This charter is intended
TO remove all inequalities in the law
In regard TO men and women.
The advisability of such an equal
Eation Of rights is questioned by the
National Consumers League. Mrs
Florence Kelley, General Secretary
OF the Consumers League, who
Challenged the Womans Party to
debate the issue of equal rights for
men and women, will be the princi-
pal speaker for the negative side OF
the question: "Thc Woman's Charter
DO Women Gain by It?" and will
present the legal phases OF the argu-
ment. Miss Maud Younger. well
known as a picket during the
struggle for the passage of the Fed
eral Suffrage Amendment, will be the
speaker for the affirmative side
George w. Wickersham will preside.
That 10000 900 women wage earn
ers in this country are likely to suf
fer by removing all the safeguards
which surround women to make them
equal in a literal sense under the law
with men is the contention Of the
National Consumers League.
The proposed twentieth amendment
10 the Constitution provides:
NO political. civil or legal disabli-
ties or inequalities on account of sex.
or on account of marriage, unless ap-

within the United States or any place
subject to their Jurisdiction" and
that Congress shall have power TO
enforce this article by appropriate
legislation"
This sounds very we'll" said Mrs.
Kelley to-day, "but how will it work
out2 Here are some of the questions
that the Consumers League is ask
ing
"If men and women are equal
under the law, will husbands need to
continue to support their wives?
"Will 1t rot be possible to compel
mothers to work for the maintenance
of their children II the fathers must
do so?
"What will become of the Mann act,
which exists solely for the protection
of women and girls?
"Wil those women wage earners
who now have the beneft of the
statutory eight t-hour day, rest at night
and one days rest in seven, lose these
advantages?
what safeguards will wage earn
ing women have to compensate the
disadvantages which they everywhere
tend TO suffer in competing with men
that is, longer hours and lower
wages"

The brain is tireless-
!. but the body weakens
Science nom explains the true
nature Of fatigue

Recent tests, to find how much work the human
brain is really capable Of, have yielded some
prising results.
So far as can be told, the brain itself is prdc-
hedIy treles. Mental work alone-any amount
of it-has little effect on quick, clear thinking.
The trouble is that the body gets tired SO
soon. 1t develops actual fatigue -poisons, which
clog the tissues and block the nerve pathway
that carries the brains message.
Hour by hour these poisons accumulate. And
little by little the output of work lessons - the
41vorkcurve" begins to fall.
This is why the problem of fatigue is prob
lem which concerns every human being.
Whether we work with hand or brain, fatigue
is the enemy of us all.
We can't change the conditions under which
we live. We can't slow up the lightning pace
Of 10th Century civilization But we can avoid
exposing body and brain to needless shock and
strain.
Get the right protection!
One of the chief causes of fatigue is the strain
of standing - the jar Of walking on hard floors
and pavements.
Of oourse, hard leather heels give no relief.
Ordinary rubber heels are little better. Some
aresoff, crumbly rubber that wears down quickly
