LAND Of FREE
FOR WOMEN, ONLY
BEYOND ROCKIES
Some One Wants Your ServceUse The Times Want Columns
West Assumes Leadership in
Granting Measure of
Economic Freedom.
Times Washington Bureau,

1922 New York Ave.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25. - To
women. the land of the free" exists
only beyond the Rocky Mountains.
Ahe West has assumed leadership
again, this time in granting at least
a measure of economic equality with
men to its women, according to
women's organizations here.
They say that Wisconsin takes the
lead with her sweeping State law de-
claring that women shall have the
same rights and privileges under the
law as men, in all respects.
California ranks next with a mul
titude of equality laws, enacted one
by one. in its gradual progress toward
complete recognition of woman.
California is the only State in the
union with a provision in its con-
stitution forbidding disqualification Of
any person from any business or
profession on account of sex.
Community Property Law
property law. In California, the wife
is permitted to will away one-half Of
the community property. The in
heritance tax on her share of the
Joint wealth is removed. The wife
Is also allowed complete control Of
her separate property. However the
wife may not contract any debt
against the joint holdings, while the
husband may, and she has more
difficulty in getting her share pro-
sated than the husband has.
Women are joint guardians with the
husbands of their children. Both man
and woman must support an illegiti-
mate child. Both must consent before
a child can be legally adopted. Each
owes respect, fidelity and support" to
the other Grounds for divorce are
equal and there is no discrimination
rs to who shall receive any children.
Women May Bring Suit
Women may sue or be sued without
joining the husband, and may there
fore recover damages for injury to self
or husband. The damages when re
covered, however, are considered com
.nunity property, but this Is true OF
he husband as we'll as of the wife.
But the husband has the right to
tx the place of domicile for himself
and his wife and he also has a right
to collect his wife's earnings either
within or outside the home, both Of
which rights are too much for him,
the equal rights caInpaigners say.

BORI IN CHARMING
RECITAL, IN COSTUME
Metropolitan Opera Prima Donna
Sings Beautifully to Large
Audience at Polls.

Charming is the only word to de-
scribe all the phases of the Recital of
Lucretia Bori, presented to a capacity
audience at Polls Theater yesterday
afternoon. The vivacious young
prima donna of the Metropolitan
Opera Company wore period costumes
of France, ancient Venice, Merrie
England and Spain that were
triumphs of the dress designers art.
and gave her coy, dramatic gestures
and crystal-clear soprano voice per-
feet settings.
AS light as thistledown and filled
with coquetry were the three French
songs in the first group, followed by
Exaudet's equally dainty 'Minuet" as
encore.
The second group of Italian songs
were presented in an enchanting
pastel-colored costume of Venetian
style, with Respighi's Invite ALA
DANA" as the feature number. and
Reclis "Bergertete" as an encore.
In Gainsborough costume of pale
blue and cerise with a soft, gray
muff, Bori sang old English songs
with quaint accent that enhanced
their beauty. Especially lovely was
her singing of Tom Moore's when
Love Is Kind" AS, encore she gave
Il Came With Song" by La Forge.
In the final group of Spanish songs
sung in Goya costume, Nine. Bori
seemed at her best vocally, and she.
put a great deal of dramatic power
into the portraits of different types
of Spanish maids. La Violetta," the
first encore to this group was sung
with irresistible charm. Her last en-
core was Valverde's "Clavelitos."
Wilfred Pelletier, a most acceptable
accompanist. gave several solos, in
Guiding Granados' "Danse Espagnole,"
Paderewskfs "Minuet," Chopin's
'Nocturne in E Major" and. as encore,
Scriabin prelude. F.F.

HOME FOR ART HERE

Representative Albert Johnson
Says Gallery Needed From Pure
ly Practical Reasons.
COLLECTIONS ARE VALUABLE
Treasures Worth $10,Oo0,000 In
adequately Housed.

From purely practical reasons, en-
tirely aside from esthetic consid-
erations, there should be erected in
especially designed to house and
properly display the nations art col
lection" Representative Albert john
son, republican, of Washington state.
regent of the Smithsonian Instltu-
ton. said today.
"Such a national home for art is
"a consummation devoutly to be
wished to carry out the plan of the
fathers for a magnificently designed
Capital City which would be an ex-
emplar in every respect for the en-
tire world" continues Represent
ative Johnson, emphasizing that in
science. history and art the federal
government should arouse and en-
courage all citizens.
Pointing out that art treasures at
the rate of 100000 a year are now
being offered to the federal govern
ment, through the Smithsonian In
stitution, Representative Johnson
says that the most commonplace,
cold business sense demands that a
place be provided where these treas
ures can be kept and displayed.
Tells of Roosevelt Stand.
Representative Johnson tells a lit
tie story of how regents of the Smith
sonian went to Theodore Roosevelt,
then President, with Alexander Gra-
ham Bell acting as spokesman. tell
ing him that the famous collection of
Charles l.. Freer of Detroit, worth
some four million dollars, was offered
to the government-"but we have no
place to put it-what will we do?'
Rising to his feet, and with clenched
fist striking the table. President
Roosevelt exclaimed: Accept it. gen.
tlemen. whether you have any place
to put it or not" And in order that
his collection might be available for
the people now and through the fu-
ture, Mr.. Freer spent another mil
lion and quarter dollars to erect
a building where it could be proper
ly shown" Representative johnson
says.
THE governments collection Of
art works in the National Gallery of
Art" Representative johnson ex-
planned, have accumulated to value
of upward of s1O.OOO.OO0 entirely as
gifts and bequests from public spirit
ed citizens. The institution. having no
special provision for the housing Of
art works. cares for these collections
in such space as can be spared in the
four buildings Of the Smithsonian
group crowded for scientific and his
torical purposes. Aside from the Freer
collection, the largest portion Is
crowded into corners and the base
ment and dark hallway in the natural
history building, even then pushing
into more remote corners the great
collections represent
ing the entire history. Of man which
are the result Of nearly a century's
research.
"A national home for our art treas
ures is necessity Good business
sense demands 1t, and posterity will
be greatly benefited and fully CRATE

Hawaii became a territory Of the

This bill covers all Of the things

Hawaii, Americas island paradise,
has won at last a long and bitter
fight for the unrestricted rights of a
full-fledged United States territory.
Without dissenting vote the
House has passed a measure emitting
that far-off bit of America to share
tions and other benefits enjoyed by
the states and other territories of
the nation. Similar action by the
Senate within a week Is said to be
certain.
i Under the bill Hawaii will not only
receive for the first time part of the
national highways appropriation. but
the islands will also share in the
benefits of the federal farm loan act.
the federal maternity law and the
vocational education and vocational
rehabilitation laws as well.
Seen Ending Discrimination.
Although these privileges have
been enjoyed by all of the states and
other territories since their enact
ment into law. Hawaii has consist
entity heen denied share and has
been treated as an inconsequential
cepted territory, spokesmen for the
bill asserted.
appropriations totaling $4,000 are
made available for Hawaii for the
fiscal year. beginning next June 80.
exclusive of any money the territory
may later receive for Improvement
of national highways. OF this sum
$4,000 is appropriated under the
maternity act. $4,000 for vocational
training purposes and $4,000 for the
rehabilitation ! of persons injured in
industry. Similar sums will be made
available annually hereafter.
Gov. Wallace r.. harrington. exec
utive head of the Hawaiian territorial
government. has been in Washington
in the interests Of the bill since early
In the fall. and he declared its pas
sage would result in incalculable
benefit to the islands. He expects to
return to Honolulu late this week, its
passage by the Senate being assured.
Progress Toward statehood.
Hawaii" he said. "is progressing
toward statehood Naturally that is
