HOME FAILURES
LAID To LAW

The failure Of the modern
home to function properly is due
in great part to the inferior posi-
ton given the married woman in
the laws. according to Mrs. Har-
vey Wiley, Of Washington. speak
ing over nationwide radio hook
up last night. Mrs. Wiley, who
Is chairman of the homemakers'
council of the Woman's Party,
was elected national chairman Of
the organization at its biennial
convention recently.
I'm some States, the mother is
not legally the parent of her
child" Mrs. Wiley said. I'm prac-
tically every State there is a
legal double standard Of morality
between husband and wife. In
other States, the property Of the
wife is entirely within the control
of the husband, and in some, even
the earnings Of the woman be-
long to her husband. Laws of
divorce and separation discrim-
mate against the wife and
mother. The laws Of inheritance
are flagrantly unjust to the
woman. ~' :,
Finally, the married woman
who needs to seek gainful employ
ment finds herself hampered by
the so-called welfare laws which
actually prevent women from
holding many jobs and initiate
against them unfairly in their
competition with men in the labor
market. These laws prevent open
contract for their labor on the
same footing with men, and while
fencing women in as a class, pre-
vent their growth and power Of
achievement.
The failure Of the modern
home TO function properly is
largely due to the inferior poi.
ton given the married woman
in the laws. These laws do not,
Of course, affect the best OF huS-
bands, but are taken advantage
of by the worst of men,"

Groups Debt.
Special Dispatch to The star.


BALTIMORE, February S.-Charges
that John N. Mackal ordered bills of
the Southern Maryland Society paid
from State roads funds were made by
Thomas A. Butler yesterday when he
testified before the Nelligan committee
investigating the State Roads Com
mission.
Butler, former purchasing agent Of
the commission, who was convicted of
forging checks and Is now serving term
in the penitentiary, charged that Mac
kali made out a check for 5000 in the
repurchase of an automobile which had
been traded in by the commission and
charged it to accessories.
The automobile, according to Butler,
was delivered to S. Gordon Parks, treas
urer Of Parks &, Hull, but Mr.. Parks
was never charged with it on the Office
books. After long time, he said, the
commission was reimbursed.
He testified that when bill for loud
speakers for the Southern Maryland So
ciety came into the Office, Mackall placed
his initials on it with the comment:
1.-THE State has more money than the
Southern Maryland Society"
Butler was questioned by Richard B.
Tippett. attorney, to support the law
yer's charges that the thefts exceeded
$4,000 and that the commission let
millions Of dollars in Illegal contracts.

ROCKVILLE, Md, February g.
Prompt steps will be taken to augment
Rockville's water supply, regarded as
far from adequate, it was decided at the
monthly meeting of the mayor and
council last evening.
The town authorities have under con-
sideration a number of proposed prof.
ects. Representatives of the State De-
partment Of Health and the Washington
Suburban Sanitary Commission of
Maryland and other experts have been
consulted to determine the best plan in
consideration of the towns financial
capabilities.
Last nights meeting disclosed the
unanimous feeling of the board to be
that the most feasible project would be
the sinking Of a we'll in location re-
mote from the five wells now in use
and the erection of another standpipe
of greater capacity than the present one.
which holds $4,000 gallons. This would
necessitate another pumping station.
The first move will be to ascertain
the approximate cost at once. In the
meantime Mayor Spates and the men,
berS of the council will consider means
Of financing the project 1t is possible
the Legislature, now in session, will
have to be appealed to for authority to
raise the necessary funds.
