With Perry in Japan. :: On hillside near Yoko- hama Japan is the final resting place of humble private of Marines whose burial there helped to rekindle the fires of Christianity in land where they had long since been extinguished Private Robert Williams was with U S. Marines who accompanied Commodore Perrys fleet to Japan where an important treaty signed in 1854 Following the marines death aboard ship Perry insisted that the dead be buried somewhere near the fleets anchorage but the natives considered this to be sacri lege They demanded that he should be buried at oca- ton Nagasak restricted to the burial of foreigners But Perry objected reminding the Orienals that undls tubed resting places for the dead were granted by all
 arbitrary rule and to provide suitable burial plot Flies and untitled drums played sbdued requiem as the dead
 marine was borne by four comrades to selected site in the shadow of hillside shrine The Protestant Episcopal servc was read and the marines fired three voeys over the grave the entire service being conducted with an

Ban On Working Wife Called Blow To Marriage

ities can be abrogated so easily. what assurence can majorities have that the essential guarantees of citizenship for either men or women are safe?
 IMPORTANT
 STRUGGLE
 Thus the struggle between these two schools of thought is tremen- dusly important
 (l) Because of the constitution al questions involved;
 (2) Because 1t Is engenderinR class hatred and intolerance;
 (3) Because women who are thrown out of jobs must readjust their lives and those of their de- pendents' to lower standard of living and their own mental ap- preach to a. society which casts them so ruthlessly out of the con- fines of it's protection. SOWING
 WHIRLWIND
 Further, in the heat and bitter. ness of argument, we may fail to realize exactly the ends to which the specialization of this idea of no paid employment for married women" would lead.
 We are failing to realize that we may be sowing a whirlwind that will reap Us harvest of racial deterioration the like of which no civilization has ever been able to- face and survive
 A return to normal, sane think ing is imperative--a return to the American way of thinking, where individual effort and self-reliance is not only encouraged but expected.
 Through such thought we will not only preserve today our democratic form of government with its con- stitutional guarantees against dis criminaticns. We also will encour- age our young city people to marry and have the children necessary to preserve that form of government for future generations.
 TOMORROW--John T. Flynn will give the third and last opinion on working wives from an economic EO'nt of view.

Today the nation is spending as much to educate its girls as 1t does its boys. To insist that a girl, in whom several thousand dollars has been invested in train ing as business person, pro- fessional person of a scientist, do only housework or be a nurse- maid - neither of which she is fit- ted for by training and both of which she may be absolutely un- suited for temperamentally is the essence of absurdity besides be- ing economically unsound.

 CONTRIBUTING TO FAMILY FUNDS

without marriage.
 CONTRIBUTING
 TO FAMILY FUNDS
 Present-day marriage, for the city girl, no longer offers financial se- curity.
 The farm woman and her chil- dren have always contributed substantially to the family in- come, and this without criticism from anyone.
 Furthermore, the government in numerous ways subsidies the farm family. A good bit of today's days legislation is devoted to help ing the farm family. And this is fine. But why should society so savagely attack the urban woman for doing only the same thing the farm wo- man is doing?
 The city woman is not asking any help from government in the shape of subsidies. All she Is asking is chance to work and earn her own subsidy in open competition with every other worker.
