SOUTHERN COURT UPHOLDs
 PLEA FOR OBEDIENCE

MONTGOMERY, Alabama, July 10 The age-old marriage VOW contain ing the word "obey" fast tending to- ward absolescence, was given an in- depreciation with "teeth" by the Ala bama court of appeals, when it upheld in effect the right of husband to ob- ject to his wife's employment of ad- ventitious aids to her supposedly nat ural beauty.
 It is the imperative duty of a mans wife to obey, the court held. The wife in question had curled her hair against her husbands wishes.
 In rendering the opinion the court also decided it not only was the right but the duty of the husband in absence of proof of bad character, to fix the domlcile of his children irrespective of the mothers wishes. The ruling was made in reversing the lower court writ of habeas corpus to Mrs. Macon Spark man to recover custody of her daugh- ter
 Following domestic incompatability as a result of his wife's curled hair, 1t was said, Mrs. Sparkman left her husband, taking the child. Later Spark man recovered the daughter and plac- ed her in his mothers home. Mrs. Sparkman filed petition for writ of habeas corpus and the lower court or dered Sparkman to produce the child. The order met reversal in the ap- pelate tribunal.
