Famous Army Story
Features May Day

Throughout the world today, as
May Day is observed, Army Off
GERS and enlisted men tell again
the story that is almost as old as
the traditional May Day celebra-
tion-yet is still good for a laugh.
The telling of the story is tradi-
tional in many regiments, al
though each refuses to admit that
it was the scene of the happening.
The story?
It was at a court-martial of a
young officer, charged with being
intoxicated while on duty. The
evidence against him was grave,
until his orderly was summoned
to the stand for the defense.
The orderly, very serious, stated
definitely that the officer was very

MARRIAGE LAW
EFFECTS HIT
BY WRITER
BY J. EARLE MOSER

The great mass Of employed
women in the middle and lower
classes have never been so badly
off as they are today. according
to q recent article by Genevieve
Parkhurst, internationally known
writer, editor and feminist.
Charging that women have done
nothing to help themselves in the
last Is years, Miss Parkhurst par
ticularly stresses discrimination
against the fair sex in the Gov
eminent service, and says that
section 213 of the economy act
has given employers in the indus
trial field the cue, since 1929, to
begin economy cuts by discharg-
ing feminine workers. Comment
ing on the situation, the writer
says:
"On the surface there might
be some reason in this if those
discharged were in the higher
brackets or if the reason were
purely economic. But it did not
not apply to executives nor. Gu
TiOuSly enough, to the wives Of
Congressman who are acting as
their husbands secretaries on a
Government wage of $4,000 a
year. According to a recent sur
vey, nine out of ten of those
discharged were in real need Of
their jobs.
"The places of many of those
who were let out have been filled
by inexperienced and inefficient
followers of political henchmen,
sometimes two and three men,
bers Of the same family, and
not infrequently they are the
sons and daughters of men Of
means and property"
Mentioning the small number
of influential and prominent posi-
tons held by women in the Gov
eminent service, the writer con-
cludes by asking if American
women are to continue to stand
accused of betraying themselves.
