Women Study Legal Bias

WASHINGTON, Sept. 24—The General Federation of Women’s Clubs is launching a survey to determine the extent to which American women are subjected to discriminatory laws. The 48 state federations will make the

survey. Mrs. Oscar A. Ahlgren, Whiting, Ind., president, and Mrs. John Whitehurst, Baltimore; chairman of the Americanism

department, are spearheading the Inventory in various states

as a basis for future action.

In a foreword to the pamphlet being sent out, Mrs, Whitehurst states, “It is difficult to work for the promotion of women unless you are familiar with the discriminatory laws in each state.” The federation urges new chairmen of the committee for the Promotion of Women in the new Americanism department to consider this survey a full-time responsibility. If no additional committees can be appointed, it is suggested the Americanism or American Citizenship chairman assume this responsibility.

” " » SOME OF THE searching questions to which the women will seek answers are: Does a woman have the same privilege as a man in making contracts, in purchasing, owning, selling and mortgaging real and personal property? Are guardianship rights the same for men and women? Have the women the right to will money as they see fit? Are there any restrictions

against professional women due to their sex? May a woman, who practices law, be admitted to the State Bar Association? What discriminatory laws do you have relative to the employment of women?

Are you satisfied with your

nonsupport laws? If not, why? s s ” ARE YOUR state laws the same for women, as men, in relation to old-age assistance, ete.” Are qualified women recognized, on the same basis as men, in local and state governmental appointments?

Are women permitted to serve on juries?

Does the state require a physical or mental test for persons applying for a marriage license? If so, are there different requirements for men and women? Are the marriage and divorce laws the same for men and women? If not, give the exceptions,

What's Happening to Our Kids?—

Many Teen-Age Marriages End in Misery

By LEE GRAHAM HE DEPARTMENT of Commerce reports young

people today are marrying earlier in life than ever be-

fore. it's 22.6.

The average age for girls is 20.4 and for boys

What is pulling the age down to a new low is the

fact that so many teen-agers are saying “I do.” Their parents often ask me what I think about this, My answer is “Teen- § agers belong in school — } and not in a state of mat- | § rimony.” This is not § just my own i stubborn opinfon, but the considere d conclusion of many authorities who specialize in teen-age problems. Practically every survey shows that the proportion of divorces among couples who wed under 21 is three to five times higher than those over 21.

This is not astonishing, when facts are brought into the light. » = » MOST TEEN-AGERS are victims of the Hollywood Myth, What they have in mind is Romance, That is supposedly a violent emotion which madly possesses one, engulfs one to the point of insomnia and loss of appetite, Among its other symptoms are a rapid pulse at the sight of the beloved (or even at the sound of his voice on the phone); an occasional dizziness and a ringing of bells in the air upon being kissed.

The beloved one about whom one has these sensations should be beautiful and shapely if a female—and handsome and rich if a male. Some-

times, of course, a compromise can be made on this score. But the main idea is that these overwhelming sensations constitute true love and are the basis for getting married and living happily ever after, The result is never quite that fortunate. ”» ” » ROSE GREYSTONE is only one of many teen-age girls who make this mistake of confusing a strong infatuation with the kind of love on which a marriage can be safely built. When she was 16, she wheedled her parents into letting her leave school to get married. She was convinced—beyond any doubt ~—that Chris was the husband for her. As she said at the time, “I just can't live without him.”

But within six months, she just couldn't live with him. After the bliss of the honeymoon wore off, Chris suddenly seemed dull and boorish. She was insulted because his lovemaking became less frequent. He stopped wanting to go out to dance the way he used to. He was always scolding her about spending too much money. Aside from those bits of conversation, he hardly talked to her at all.

Her first cry and ask herself,

step was to “What

have I done?” Her next step was to get her marriage annulled, The grounds for annullment were phony. But so had been the reasons for the marriage. The blame for this broken marriage rests on the* shoulders of Rose's mother and father. She couldn't possibly have known enough about men at her age to enable her to choose the right: one, She couldn't have known enought about herself to understand what her needs would be as she grew older, So the responsibility belongs to her parents who gave their consent to the marriage.

If the boy or girl feels close enough to the parents to tell them about it, they should muster up all the tact and sympathy of which they’ Te capable, ou THERE ARE otuer ways in which you can encourage your teen-ager during this crucial time and thereby help to avoid the disaster of too early a mar- . riage. I would like to suggest the following. ONE-—Make “him feel loved and wanted at home, Many youngsters think of marriage because they wish to leave the home where they feel rejected. TWO — If possible, provide him with a pet on whom he can lavish some of his affection, THREE-—When he talks of getting married, urge him to wait until his early 20's at least.
