Machines Must Be Housed

Such high-priced articles as bind
er or mower must be housed. The
average life of the binder is about
five or six years, because 1t is left out
of doors throughout the year. When
one considers that the binder is in
actual use only about ten days of
the year, the loss may be better APP

binder will last from Is TO 20 years,

of the port of New York, 1887, and
resigned as a public protest against
the failure of President Wilson and
his administration to urge and pass
the woman suffrage amendment"
And who are the Lucy Stoners
Why, the members of the Lucy Stone
league, of course. The league is COM
posed of married women who refuse
to take their husbands names. 1t
was organized in 1921, and has its
headquarters in New York city. It's
president is Ruth Hale of New York
and Ruth Hale has been Mrs. Hey
wood Broun since 1917 Its secretary
is Jane Grant-it has been printed
that she is the wife of Harold Ross,
editor of Judge.
But why the Lucy Stone league?
Probably Lucy was our very first
woman rights" woman Elizabeth
Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony,
Julia Ward Howe and the other early
leaders used to say that Lucy first
really stirred the nations heart on
the subject of woman's wrongs" Any
way, Lucy was the first American to
hang on Ito her own name after mar
riage. At thirty-seven years of age
she married in 1855 Henry B. Black
well, Cincinnati merchant and Adolf
ZIONIST, brother of the famous DR.
Elizabeth Blackwell (1S21-1910) who
opened the medical profession to
women.
Lucy Stone QS1S-93) early deter
mined to get a real education. Why?
Well, when she talked equal rights
for women" somebody was always
quoting texts from the Bible against
it. Therefore she decided to get a
college education so she could read the
Bible in the original and see if those
texts were correctly translated. Lucy
was graduated from Oberlin in 1S47.
Evidently she had found the transla-
tiOns of those texts all wrong, for
that same year she delivered from her
brothers pulpit at Gardner, Mass, the
very first lecture on woman's rights
The next year she lectured in New
England, the WEST and Canada for
the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery soci-
ety-also on woman's rights. After
her marriage she became still more
energetic. In 1869 she founded, with
Julia Ward Howe, the American
Woman Suffrage association which
later merged with the National Wom-
an Suffrage association. 1t took, these
devoted women-and their successors
81 years to obtain the suffrage by
constitutional amendment
The Lucy Stoners seem to be getting
along fairly well-aside from Comp
troller General McCarl. They can get
life insurance-in some companies.
They have little trouble with realtors
and with landlords, with butcher and
baker and candlestickmaker The
postmaster general is Indifferent and
the income tax people don't give a
whoop. But hotelkeepers are bit
nervous. The State department says
when it comes to passports that they
can use their husbands names or stay
at home And of course the mothers
invariably say, ''my married daugh-
ter, Mrs. So-and-So.'

- den, the Lucy Stoners in
their hail. This sounds a bit mixed,
but it's just exactly what he has done.
And, what's more, he has run right
smack up against the serried ranks of
the National Woman's party, led by
Alice Paul and Legal Research Secre-
tary Burnita Shelton Mathers, march
ing at the double-quick for the fray.
Comptroller General McCarl, in
short, has made the ruling that mar
ried woman employee of the federal
government who wishes to be carried
on the government payroll must en-
roll under her married name He
quotes various marriage laws and then
lays down this ultimatum:
The law of this country that the wife
takes the surname of the husband Is as
well settled as that the domicile of the
wife merges in the domiciie of the hus-
band. A wife might reside apart from
her husband, but as long as she re-
mains his lawful wife she has but one
legal domicile and that is the domicile
of her husband. So it is with the name
She may have an assumed name, but
she has but one legal name.
Now, why did McCarl do it? He's
been married man since 1905 and
has presumably learned not to rush
in where angels fear to tread. Prob
ably the poor man is just playing safe.
For, you see, as comptroller general
he's head of the general accounting
Office and it's his business to watch
all disbursements of the public funds
to the last penny. So, of course, If
the Lucy Stoners are being illegally
paid that means trouble for him. For
Uncle Sam-be it Misrepresentation it
comes TO the paying out of real cash
is just bit near, as they say in Cal
win Coolidge's neck of woods.
Comptroller General McCarl is a
lawyer and he may be right about
the law in the case. Nevertheless,
here's the other side:
The National Woman's party has
pointed out in the brief submitted that
none of the cases cited by Mr.. McCarl
has any bearing on this case; that no
statute or court decision exists in any
state supporting the principle that a
woman must take her husbands name !;
that contracts, DEGREES, deeds, made in
the maiden name of a married woman
are everywhere valid at law; that the
law allows any one, man or woman,
to assume any name he or she chooses.
The casus belli, 30 TO speak, is the
case of nurse in st. EliZabeth's hos
pital, under the Interior department,
who married last summer and refused

ent moment?
2. What is the best means available
at present for mobilizing the maxi

an Immediate struggle against CAPT

Particular stress is laid here on the
expression, immediate struggle. Why?
For the sole reason that the masses
can be won over to the ideas of Com

can we succeed in eventually winning
them for our ultimate aims.
What Are The Issues?
In reviewing the present day con-
ditions of life of the industrial prole-
tariat of the United States, what do
we find? Unemployment, part-time
employment and a feeling of general
insecurity in finding the means of
earning livelihood. This seems to
be the outstanding feature of the pres
ent situation as far as large masses
of workers are concerned. Unde-
niably, this country is passing at pres

preston which has already produced

maximum possible number of work
ers.
So far, so good. The only question
1.-The real question-that still remains
to be settled is, what should these

We do not know how long the present
situation will continue, altho our in
dications are to the effect that the
present crisis is rather of a lasting
nature.
Whatever its durability, the crisis
is right now in our midst. Masses of
workers have been seriously affected.
They are restless. They are dissatis-
fed. They are looking for way out.
1t is our duty to take the lead. Which
means, in other words, that the prob
lem of unemployment becomes one of
our issues, one of our main slogans
in the election campaign.

bridge by again throwing the main CUR
rent under the bridge. The work of

width of SO feet. Only a sfnall neck
of sand now separates the 1,300-foot
