WOMAN WHO MARR|ES
OUTSIDE Of SPHERE
WILL ENTER SLAVERY
(By Associated Press)

Chicago, March 2l-Edith Rookie
feller Mccormick, daughter of John
D. Rockefeller, ST., tracing the pro-
gress of women told representatives
of many women's organizations here
yesterday that "if woman marries
outside her own clan CT tribe she'll
be a slave. History proves it,"
The meeting alta which Mrs. Nc
Cormick spoke was preliminary to the
women's progress exposition to he
held here June 8 to 10, of which Mrs.
Mccormick will be general chairman.
The engagement of Mrs. McCormick's
16 year old daughter, Mathilde to
Max Oser, Swiss riding academy pro-
prietor recently was announced.
'In olden times," Mrs. Mccormick
said, "if a man were bored with the
women of his own tribe, he went and
stole a wife from another clam" ,
The stolen bride had sorry time
of it, according to Mrs. Mccormick,
who said the women of the mems tribe
always hated the alien bride, who
consequently had to depend for hap
piness entirely upon her husband, to
whom she was virtually slave. From
this condition, she said, there grew
up kind of serfdom for women
which enmeshed women who married
outside their own tribe.
This period of serfdom was an era
of down-curves for women, she said,
but it was sandwiched in between two
up-curves, the ancient and modern.
"Women are now victors. But they
are much more than victors," Mrs.
Mccormick said, "for they have done
much more than fight for their place,
which has been won through sociolo-
gical development and growth.
"All the modern woman wants is
to be let alone, t odevelop, to DEM
onstrate, and to expand" she said
"Mother love els important, but it is
not everything. Woman's universal
love is a bigger thing"

POSpQFF|cES GET OVER
HALF BILLION, BITTER
FIGHT OVER AMOUNT
tBy Associated Press)

Washington, March 21.-The post
office. appropriation bill, carrying
1923 773,000 was passed late yester-
day by the senate after a heated
fight. The measure carries $63, ,309,-
900 more than as was passed by the
house, S5O,O00,OOO of the increase go
ing for federal highway aid.
The bill also carries provisions for
restoring to service the New York
pneumatic mail tubes and for con-
tinuing the New York to San Fran
cisco air mail service. The vote on
the tube amendment was SO to 10,
and came after a bitter attack had
been made on the proposition by sew
eral democrats. The $50,000,000 was
accepted by the senate without de-
bate and without a roll call.
A fight -centering around postof-
flee appointments, originating early
in discussion of the bill, resulted
just before adjournment of the sen.
ate in the introduction by Senator
Harrison, democrat, Mississippi, of 6
resolution calling on the president
to supply the senate with the mum.
Der of executive orders he has ISSUED
removing postoffices from civil serv.
ice classification. The resolution
went over under the rules.
The fight which eliminated in the
Harrison resolution was precipitatec
by an amendment \ increasing the
number of postal inspectors, move
which Mr.. Harrison charged was t.
make more place sfor republicans
The debate quickly entered the sub
ject of postmaster appointments, ant
the president was charged with hav
ing removed the Marion, Ohio, Office
from civil service by executive orde1
so that he could appoint the post
master in his home town.
AS for the New York tubes, Sena
tor McKellar, democrat, Tennessee
claimed that the senate was giving
its approval to something "that il
dangerously near brazen steal O
federal funds" The tubes had man!
defenders, however, and the argu
ment that they were necessary to re
lieve congestion and provide bette,
service finally prevailed by an al
most straight party vote.

CLOCK WEIGHT CRASHED DOWN
Ceiling and Floor of Famous st.
Nlichael's Church Damaged.
tNews and Courier, 23d.)

A large S00-pound weight attach
ed to the clock in the steeplo Of St.
Michaels Episcopal church fell down
into the vestibule Of the church at
about 8 o'clock yesterday morning.
when the rope by which 1t was sus-
pended gave way. The big weight

he was showing through the church.
They were standing at the other end
OF the church, near the vestry room

The weight which came tumbling
down yesterday Is made OF eight cast
iron disks, attached to n pulley and

after its fall, suffering less damage
than the distractions which it met.

CALOMIIL GOOD, BUT
AWFUL TREACHEROUS.
Noxt Dose May Salivate, Shock Liver
or Attack Your Bones.

You know what calomel is. It's
quicksilver. Calomel is
dangerous. 1t crashes into sour bile
like dynamite, cramping and sicken-
ing you. Calomel attacks the bones
and should never be put into your
system.
If you feel bilious, headachy, con-
stipated and all knocked out, Just
go to your druggist and get a bottle
Of Dodson's Liver Tone for a few
cents, which is harmless vegetable
substitute for dangerous calomel.
Take a spoonful, and If it does not
start your liver and straighten you
up better and quicker than nasty
calomel, and without making you
sick, you just 60 back and get your
money.
Don't take calomel! It makes you
sick the next day; 1t loses you a days
work. Dodson's Liver Tone straight
ems you right up and you feel great.
No salts necessary. Give it to the
children because it Is perfectly HARM
less and can not salivate.-adv.

small bands, Enthusiastically dressed,
usually with womtn smartly dressed
and glittering with spangles. Ono
strange figure in the group, n man
concealed In frame of herbs and
flowers, called "Jack in the Green"
All these persons strolled the streets,
stopping to dance to the tune of
fife and a drum and collect pennies
from the onlookers. This chimney
sweep observance Of the day was tho
last of the May day celebrations Of
the sort In England.
AS part of the old English cele-
bration Of May day there was dis
tinct set Of sports meant to repre-
sent the adventures Of the legendary
Robin Hood and known rs the "Robin
Hood games" Most Of the charac-
ters mentioned in the Robin Hood
legend were portrayed Ia these games
and there were archery and quarter

In Puritan times in England, May

Paris. June 21.-Madame Marie

In trunk, and she was sentenced to
twenty years. hard labor, upon the
confession made in open court by
her daughter, Paule Jacques( tried
Jointly here, but acquitted.
Then the mother, who had just
been condemned by her daughter,
became her daughtr's defender. She
implored The Jurors mercy for her
daughter, and later, when she was
convicted and the daughter acquit-
ted, she thanked the jury for setting
her daughter free.
Forgive my daughter" she beg
ged them. pardon the child. AS
for me, who am old and withered,
abandon myself to you. This Is not
reproach. A woman should remain
young. Punish the old one, for she
has had youth; she has lost it in
work, in doing her duty. She is
guilty because she is old"
Mother to the last. she remained
bitterly sarcastic, saying to tho jury
and Judges:
II see only men here. There are
fifteen thousand women in our pris-
ems, but none among my judges"
An hour later, when the verdict
was read, she smiled when she heard
that her daughter was freed with a
tenderness that amazed those who
had watched her studied coolness,
her sad face, throughout the trial.
She smiled as she told the Jurors:
~ thank you for having acquitted
my daughter. AS for me, am inno-

The Jurors apparently only voted
seven to five for conviction, as FIVE
jurors Immediately signed an appli-
cation for the mothers pardon, and
the attorneys hope to win over the
