flaws and good points, glories and in

the birth and first and innocent edu-
cation of the child, by the education

Formidable HohenzoIlern Cradle.
A formidable castle, citadel, palace

fastness, in the twelfth century, to
prey upon the region roundabout, just
as later on, triumphant and insolent,
widening the scope of its plundering
raids, it sought to prey upon the world.
Such was the cradle of the Hohen-
zollerns.
From this lofty stronghold, the mem

Emperore himself, the Hohenzollerns
sailed forth, first, to the conquest of
Germany. 1t is a known fact that the

German mobiles, nest of robbers, who
made raids upon the surrounding
plains, enriching themselves by means
of murder and pillage. Their law was
the law of force, the law of the fist.
How They Acquired Power.

WOMEN NOT FAVORING
BLANKET LEGISLATION
, To REMOVE BARRIERS
(By Associated Press)

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 1e-"Blanket"
legislation to remove legal discrimina
tions against women of the United
States is not favored by the National
League of Women Voters, according
to a statement issued today from head
quarters of the Indiana League of Wo-
men Voters
Reasons the League prefers to make
its progress step by step are outlined,
it was said, in a pamphlet written By
Mrs. Carina c. Warrington of Fort
Wayne, attorney at law, state proba-
ton officer and a director in the In
diana League of Women Voters. The
leagues opposition to blanket" leg
islation is based, according to the pub-
LEGATION. on the following:
''At the worst, these measures may
cause serious confusion in the civil
law: l. e., taking from women the ex-
listing rights such as the right of
dover; endangering legislation regu-
lating employment of women, such as
prohibition of work Immediately be-
fore and after childbirth; preventing
passage of such legislation in the
future
Result of Legislation
AT the best, blanket legislation, as
lawyers agree, would involve litigation
in the courts which probably would be
long drawn out, thus calling into que3-
ton for some time both the indorse
ment and passage of protective legis
lation"
Mrs. Warrington has made a com
pilation of the laws passed or defeat
ed during 1921 and 1922 in the various
states, and for whose passage or de
feat the leagues of women voters have
worked in conformity with the pro
gram of the National League commit
tee on uniform laws concerning wo,
eSnen, adopted by conventions of the
national league in 1920, 1921 and 1922
The greatest achievement, Mrs
Warrington says, is the federal Law
which provides for Independent citi
zenship for married women. Eigh'
states, including Indiana, have passed
laws providing for equal guardianship
by both parents of the persons ant
property of the children, Arkansas
Florida, Michigan, Mississippi, New
Jersey, West Virginia and Wisconsin
have passed laws similar to the on.
for which the Indiana League worke,
in the 1921 state legislature.
Mothers pension laws represent one
of the keenest interests of the league
and it is this question which will oc
cupy the attention of the Indiana
League in the 1928 state legislature, i
was said.
