MRS. O'DAY HITS
|. MARRIAGE CLAUSE
New York Representative
Declares Statute Is Un-
Just and RuinouS.

Section 2l3 Of the economy act.
which was designed to keep married
couple from holding two positions
with the Government, was branded "a
most unfair, unjust and ruinous
statute by Representative Caroline
O'Day of New York at dinner meet
ing of the Eastern Regional Confer
ence of the National Woman's Party
last night at the washington Hotel.
One of several prominent women's
organization leaders who assailed the
act, Representative ODay told of her
"amazement" at 1.-The men in Con-
gress whose mental workings are still
in the horse -and-buggy stage as re-
CARDS the present status of woman in
the home and in the world Of busi-
ness"
There was time" she said. when
the home was an economic unit and
every member of the family had his
or her share of the work to do within
the home. That condition has changed.
Through changes in our economic and
social scheme of life. it has become
absolutely necessary in many cases
that women leave the home to eafn
living.
Section 213 says in effect, Woman,
60 home 1t does not say, however.
20 what home or where.
I'VE must. in our legislation. keep
pace with changing conditions. Sec
tion 213 does not recognize these
changes"
The speaker said the statute was
also most demoralizing to civil serv-
ice" because 1T forces many most
capable women to quit their positions. ="
Miss Charl Ormond Williams, repre-
senting the National Education Asso-
citation, said that as seen by her organ
ization the measures continued opera
ton would exert IAN ultimate per-
nicious effect on the basis of selection
of man and woman teachers by local
and State governments"
Already in some cities throughout
the country" she amplified, school
boards have adopted a definite policy
against the employment of married
woman teachers"
Other speakers at the meeting.
which was sponsored by the Govern
ment Workers Council of the Ma
tional Woman's Party, included Mrs.
Burnita Shelton Matthews, past presi-
dent of the National Association of

SOFTBAuL
TEAM WINS GAME
DURANT PLAYS KOSCIUSKO
FRIDAY NIGHT

The Durant Recreational soft
ball team scored in the early in
nings last Friday night to defeat
the Lexington aggregation by q
lscore Of 1918. They were forced
Ito overcome a four-run deficit
established by the losers in the
initial frame, however, and
later in the contest had to over
take a one-run lead to finally
win the contest.
After four singles and four
errors had produced a quartet Of
|tallies for Lexington at the out
set, Durant knotted the count in
the second by virtue Of doubles
by Priester and w. Odom, a
single by Lance, and a pair of
miscues.
The locals took a five run lead
in the third by registering a
quintet Of markers on Lance's
second single, Priester's second
two-baser, a triple by Gunner
and three errors.
Lexington staged q wild scor-
ing spree in the fourth to take a
10 to 9 advantage on three
singles, a double, triple and six
errors, but Durant clinched the
game as it ultimately resulted by
crossing the plate five times in
the fifth no singles by Brown,
Bill Montgomery and Lance and
five hobbies.
Priester who worked the last
three chapters, managed to hold
a slender lead during the remain
der Of the tilt, limiting the enemy
to two blows in his three-inning
tenure on the mound, although
Durant's four-run lead was re-
duced to one when Lexington
registered three more times in
the sixth on the only pair of
safeties that the final home
chunker allowed. Hermann did
the flinging for the yanquished.
Bill Montgomery and Albert
Brown were previous mound per-
formers and permitted 10 wallops
between themselves.
