which married woman was re-
garded as a femme couverte" or
covered woman whose rights
were vested in her husband while
he lived, Miss Pollitzer stated.
Though the effect fthis legal ira
dition from feudal times has been
modified in some states by more
modern legislation, it survives to
varying degree, she added.
In some states man can dis
pose of his wife's inherited prop
rety," said Miss Pollitzer. Laws
often give n woman's earnings to
her husband, allow him to collect
damages for her injuries, and give
him the earnings, control and GUS
tody of their child. The women's
party is organizing to fight this
condition by changing specific laws
and by changing tradition"
The party has organized twenty
five professional councils, including
a home-makers' council. Mrs. Min
ME Maddern Fiske and Miss Mary
Shaw, head the theatrical council;
Miss IONA Gale of Portage, Wis,
the novelist, heads the writer's
council: DIR. Mary O'Malley, clint
cal director Of st. Elizabeth's hos
pital Washington, the physicians
council. and Miss Emma Gillett,
dean Of the Washington College of
Law, Washington, the lawyers
council. Fourteen women lawyers
are compiling all state laws in the
interest of the woman'a party, Miss
Pollitzer said, to ascertain the legal
status of women in all states.

TO MAKE WAR ON
DISCRIMINATION
AGAINST WOMEN
Equal Political and Civil
Rights for the GentIer
Sex by Constitutional
Amendment Is Sought.

Chicago, Oct. Ia (by the Associ-
ated Press) TO fire the first gun
in the midwestern sector in a cam
paign ito sweep away all forms OF
discrimination against women,
Miss Anita PollitZer of Charleston,
IS. c., secretary of the reorganized
National Women's party, has been
organizing an Illinois branch of the
party. Preparations will be made
for presentation OF Illinois, as
well as all other states, at ma
tional conference to be held at
Washington. November II and IL,
to frame legislative program.
Illinois was selected as the OBJ
jective of the first mission by ma
tional headquarters, because ut
was believed that Illinois was in b
position to affect the entire west
and midwest" according to Miss
Pollitzer.
Constitutional amendments which
the organization is seeking to have
passed by all states to guarantee
equal political, civil and legal
rights for women in each case will
contain this clause, according TO
Miss Pollitzer: This act will not
affect laws regulating the affairs
of women in industry" This clause
was pointed out because the effect
of the legislation proposed by the
party upon legislation designed to
safeguard women in industry has
been questioned.
Miss Pollitzer said that the SUI
preme court of the United States
has repeatedly sustained special
welfare legislation for women even
when it was argued that such legis-
lation was in direct violation of the
fourteenth amendment to the
United States constitution.
The legal discrimination" which
the party is assailing has its roots
in the old common law under

Minimum Requirements in the
Mechanics of English Composition
Is a new pamphlet issued by the
department of English. The pur-
pose of this booklet is to enable the
pupil to see the aim of the English
courses, and to help him to check
his work, so he may meet the mini
mum requirements of the school.
The following new students en-
rolled Monday: Norwyne Wilson. a
senior and Jesse Wilson. a junior,
from Clayton; Flora Lucero, a
sophomore, and Pablo Gonzales, a
vocational student.
"The Second Mile" was the SUBJ
1ect of very interesting talk given
Monday morning by II. =. Demand,
Boys Work secretary of the inter-
national committee of the Y. M. C.
A. Mr.. Demand applied this prin-
rciple to all departments of life, the
| business, social, and religious life.
Collateral reading of varying
amounts is required by the history
| department in all the courses. The
object of this work is to create a
| permanent interest in history by
| appealing to the individuality, to
create critical attitude, stimulate
independent judgment and to teach
the student how. to use books.
The North Central association, to
which the Albuquerque High
school belongs, has attempted to
control this reading by specifying
the minimum number of pages to
be read by each student. II sug-
gests 200 pages for ancient history;
$50 pages for medieval and modern
history and $50 pages for Ameri-
can history.
The city library has cooperated
with this department and has
placed the American history books
on the reserve shelves for use of
the students taking this course.

The graceful swing Of their lines the soft. luxurious
furs combined with even softer fabrics; the glowing
autumn shades; thet lines which enfod their

which can be well termed incompatible.
