One Minute Essay

Leather gloves were of practical use
when spoon and fork were unknown.
However, the origin of the glove dates
back to remote antiquity. There is
reason to believe that the ancient Per
slams wore them since it is mentioned
in the "Cyropoedia" or Xenopnon that
on one occasion Cyrus went without his
gloves. 1t is also known that some
kind of protective coverings for the
hands were used by the Romans IN GER
tain kinds of manual labor and in bat
tie. The English scholar Dawkins dis
covered on a bone dating from pie-his,
toric days design which he claimed
TO be Il picture of glove. On the mon
uments of the Pharaohs in Egypt there
are represented among the tributes paid
by subjected people gloves OF the shape
of the long suede worn by modern WON

Homer speaks of the gloves worn by
the ancient Greeks in garden toll ano

is also thought that the ancients knew
the fingered glove. Mittens are among
the dress accessories found with mum

WONEN'S CITIZENSHIP

Although the bonus tariff and ship subsidy bills hold
the center of public interest there few others which
deserve some attention One of these the Gable bill for
independent citizenship of married which passed
the House June 20 with large jority vote Both of
the leading political parties have favored the principle of
this BILL and the National League of Women Voters is back
ing it strongly.
The bill provides that woman citizen resident of the
United States the time of her marriage and continuing
to reside shall be deemed citizen unless she form
ally resigns her citizenship to adopt that of her alien hus
band Also provides that alien shall not by her
marriage to an American citizen herself become citizen
without going through the naturalization process.
The need for legislation of this sort has been shown
clearly than formerly in various tanges which have
followed the many marriages One woman, Ameri
citizen by birth but foreigner by marriage has found
that she cannot eXecurx of her mothers property
although she named in the will Another woman who

has lost her right practise law in her state whose
laws bar foreigners from that privilege.
There are many other possibilities not likely to be
th1ngh of until the is called into question by legal
tests which make it unfair both to the Americanborn
woa and her foregnborn sister to have their citizenship
determined sefeby the nationality of their respective
husbands. Rectificaton of the present situation should
