Straig hit Talks to Women About Money
BY MARY ELIZABETH ALLEN

One knotty question for the Solo
mons to settle is: To whom do house
hold goods belong when they are paid
for by the wife? In most States women
may only hold real property in COM
munity with their husbands. House.
hold effects might be either real prop
erty or personal property. depending
on the nature of the various effects.
1t might take months before a salts
factory division of goods alone could
be arrived at.
Women sometimes get into the habit
of drawing checks on their husbands
bank accounts; in some cases husbands
acquire the same habit. 1t is doubtful
whether a court would sanction such
an action. OF course, the bank is re-
sponsible to its depositor for all funds
that have been illegally withdrawn
from her account However. unless
the woman wished to send her husband
to Jail for defrauding her, she would
not press the charges.
Our own laws recognize, in almost
every State, the right of woman to
own personal property. If husband
should appropriate the personal prop
erty of his wife, it is hard to conceive
of a court considering his act in any
light other than theft. Most cases are
settled out of court, because the no.
toriety attaching to such incidents is
unpleasant and detrimental to both.
Still, some answers would be welcome.

Misunderstanding? Do the locks work

Would a handrail down the cellar steps
add to the safety? Is the basement

Is there a sanitary arrangement for
disposal of garbage? Is there a suitable
space set aside for a mans workshop?
Are water and heat pipes insulated to
shut out cold and keep in heat?
Are there enough convenient outlets?
Can all lights be reached easily or
should pull cords be heightened or
placed in more accessible places? Does
the house need more switches and more
modern ones?
Is the telephone located centrally, and
are sufficient provisions made for
privacy while using it?

Look at that guy. Puds, bet he's

And he took a cent out of his pockit

For the present, you had better give
up the idea of being an aviatrix, unless
you have a good deal Of money. It's
expensive.
Here's a plan that may work out for
you. Suppose you learn to be secre-
tary. Take a thorough course, not a
short one, but long one. You may
enjoy this more than regular school,
because you'll be learning something in
which you'll be able to see definite prac-
tical value.
After you get Job save your money
until you have enough to learn to fly.
Then, instead Of being snail with a
broken leg you may, after all, be a
bird with wings. But keep it clear in
your mind that aviation will never be
a source of income to you. You'll get
lot of fun out Of 1t, but 1t will cost
you money, not bring you money.
If you really dislike office work. you
might study nursing.

Can Husband Rob You Z

II wife does not commit robbery
when she goes through her husbands
pockets, can husband be termed a
'robber" when he steals from his wife
1t is much mooted point. and one
beset with many knotty problems. Be-
fore one can answer at all, 1t must be
determined what the husbands prop
erty is and what the wife's.
The wife who rifles her husbands
pocket may claim that the money is
rightfully hers, because her husband
short-changed her on her allowance.
Of course, her method of collection
may not be legal, but she has the
money in her possession and most
courts would not permit her husband
to testify against her. In that case.
what could he do? One woman sug-
gests, Like it or lump it!"
On the other hand, a husband might
give his wife diamond brooch. She
might wear it for time, and then
have it taken from her in order that
cash might be realized Can his action
be called criminal? Was the brooch
ever hers? Could she prove her own
ership Of it? If she could, would her
hsuband have any equity" or share
in the brooch? The case would hinge
chiefly on the question, To whom
did the brooch actually belong, and
what proof has that party?"

Everyday Psychology
BY DR.. JESSE W. sPROWLs.
Civilization.

Is civilization an attainment or a
pretense? We are now talking philos-
ophy-nothing more. In raising this
question I am not unaware OF certain
misunderstanding
These who imagine that civilization
| represents some sort of predestination
stand life. They are the contemporary
progeny OF Cotton Mather of old New
England. The idea that human beings
are constructed first OF all out Of mind
stuff and only secondarily out of body
stuff is a sheer pretense. 1t is civil
iZations's attempt to clothe the body to
deny the impulses wrapped up in what
is called mind
But, after all, 1t is not quite fair to
say that attainment and pretenSe are
different things. Pretense may, for all
we know, be the evolutionary force
which makes civilization possible.
Modesty is pretense, not always, but
more than half the time. Because of
pretense frankness often smacks OF
rudeness. Self-righteousness is a pre-
tense. Shame, not conscience, is the
guide to laudable conduct. And the
fear of shame is all too often the begin
ming of neuroses.
Life is replete with paradoxes Other
wise psychology could not have ap-
peared as science of the meaning of
life. civilized or otherwise.
But why worry about philosophy? I?
It's nothing other than civilization S
attempt to understand how and why it
arrived.
