Husbands Do Not Have to Pay Wives =

There is no law which compels
a husband to paya salary to his wife
for housework or to make payments
to her at regular intervals for any
purpose.
I'm law there is little basis for a.
comparison between the housewife
and the 'housemaid. The latter is, of
course. employed for wages, but such
employment may be terminated at
any time. The marriage relation,
with its corresponding obligations,
cannot be so easily dissolved"
The opinion pointed out, however,

husband the obligation to support his
wife in q manner suitable to their
station in life-and this always in

NEW YORK, Feb 27.-America won
the international indoor tennis match
from France today, three matches to
two, when William T. Tilden staged
a whirlwind rally to defeat Jean
Borotra, Ga, 8-10s 11-13, 6-1, 6-S in
the fifth and deciding encounter Of
the three-day series.
The American champions victory
in a two and half hour struggle
came after Rene Lacoste, French ace,
had overwhelmed Vincent Richards
in three straight sets, 6-3, 61, 6-3 in
the other contest of the day. Amer
ica won the doubles match yester-
day, while Lacoste beat Tilden, and
Richards vanquished Borotra in the
opening matches Thursday.
Tilden's victory gave the native
forces the verdict by three matches to
two after Rene Lacoste, the out
standing star of the invading team
had added to his laurels by trounc-
ing Vincent Richards, 6-3, 6-1, 63

the previous days matches, LaCostes s
triumph over Richards not only gave
the 22 year old young French ace
clean sweep of his singles matches
with Americas foremost stars within
a fortnight, but was by far the most
convincing exhibition of his invasion.
In two matches with Richards and
one against Tilden, Lacoste had not
dropped a set. On each occasion this
