Laws About Women By FREDERICK J. HASKIN

WASHINGTON. D. C, Dec. 15. The searchlight Is being turned, perhap3 more thoroughly than ever before, on the the laws which affect women. The National Women's Party is going sys

legislatures inquire innocently in what " is difficult to get a good many of

disagreement or divorce the wife finds that she has very little that her husband cannot control or in some staies even dispose of. So, the feminine lawyers contend that the modern

wife's scientific meanage is built on

way women are bound unfairly by 1 the states to make sweeping changes

adverse action, it has already been; Fhown to be practically impossible to secure state laws. Further, state laws are never permanent. The next etate legislature may repeal the measures passed by its predecessor." Because of these facts, the woman's party is also working to have a constitutional amendment adopted giving women of the country legal equality with men. This amendment is still in process of evolution. The party wants it to be worded so that it is foolproof and so that it completely covers the

case. Lawyers are now working on

jury service, control of children, choice of domicile and name. The law of Louisiana provides that a wife must live where her husband decrees even if she supports him. It is interesting to note that in the states where surveys have been made no statute provides that a woman must take the name of her husband.

Here is a "right" of which women might have availed themselves for generations perhaps, yet few have done so. Those who went to law for

their rights have, it seems, been con-

far have been studied. These states were taken first because the state legislatures were to. meet there. Now, the woman's party workers are going

on to collect evidence on nine raorej

ttates where the legislatures convene early in the coming year. This is a part of the campaign to get each state to pas3 a blanket bill removing all legal disabilities of women. Wisconsin is, so far, the only state to adopt such a measure. Last spring, in nine weeks' campaign, Wisconsin put through a bill which gave the women of the state the same rights and privileges before the law as the men hold. The bill instructed the courts to take the words he, his, him, and similar words indicating the masculine gender in 'he state laws to include also the feminine equivalents. One exception to this as provided: the laws are not to be so read where the construction would "deny to females the special protection and privileges which they now enjoy for the general welfare." This refers, in part, to the laws protecting women in industry. Wisconsin made this sweeping change without much ado. But when the proposal came to the four southern legislatures that met a little later, it was given a chilling reception. Louisiana, it is true, did take action

to the extene of repealing nine specific discriminations against women. As one result all political and civil offices in the state are now open to women. Another reform achieved by Louisiana compels a husband to obtain consent of his wife before he can sell or mortgage the home. The rest of the family property remains under control of the husband as before. But the wife is assured that the roof over her head will not be sold without any reference to her wishes or interests. .Louisiana agreed to nine changes, but the radical idea of absolute legal equality for women was turned down flatly. The other three state legislatures to which the measure was submitted also rejected it. And yet, ihe feminists point out, these states, progressive in many ways, are far behind some other states in their legal treatment of women. Marriage in Mississippi The surveys of the state laws showed many cases where the old comon law holds. For instance, a wife in Mississippi was refused the right to sue for damages for the alienation of her husband's affections. The laws of the state give the husband control of the wife's personal property, and the court held that in these circumstances if the wife won the suit, the erring husband" would benefit by it as he could appropriate the money. In this state, which is not the most backward of the 48, a woman practically leases herself out to her husband lor life. In return for her services she receives her board and keep. But she cannot require her husband to pay her anything. She has no right to any

part of the family income and she hasi no interest in her husband's property I

unless he dies and leaves it. Thus, when woman was injured by a fall on an exposed gas pipe, the wife leceived damages for her personal iniiirv. hut the hushanri vat nllnwpri hv

the court to collect the amount award-!

ed as the loss of her services in the home. According the report from Florida.

the Tomen of that state are under the; domination of the old English common i

law to a greater extent than perhaps any other state in the union. According to the common law a married woman "could make no contract of any kind." This, the report shows, is true in Florida today with a few exceptions. Unless hr husband has been pronounced insane and has been insane for a year, a married woman may not lent, mortgage of sell even property given or willed to her without his consent. If the husband is a criminal he still has control over his wife's property. A husband in this state may do as be likes with proceeds from his wife's f-eparate property and she many rot t;ue him even to secure an accounting of what he has done with her money. The report points out that a court's

decision extended the husband's authority even to the ownership of his j wife's clothes. And in ancther case a j court ruled that a married woman did ! not have the right to hire domestic I servants. In this day when so many married! women prefer work in an office orj :.hop to work in a kitchen it is in-1 teresting to note that in Alabama the husband generally has authority, baek-j ed up by law, to say whether or not j his wife may work outside the home. I To quote a court decision the husband is entitled to wife's services to the ex-j tent that is still in this respect "mere

ly a servant." So a court in 1914 decided that if outside work would interfere with her domestic duties a husband could legally prevent his wife from entering paid employment. So many women have business experience before marriage that the home standards have been advancing more rapidly than the laws. The modern woman knows the unit of labor which earned a dollar in the store or office and she compares that with her work about the house. She figures that she is putting her share into a business partnership and that whatrvcr is saved or acquired is in part hers. There are several theories with which the modern domestic establish

ment is experimenting. One is toi make the home a partnership and toi have everything about the home held I jointly. Another idea is for each of

the contracting parties to hold his or!

her own fchare separately. In this plan the wife might receive a fi.ied palary for housework besides money pet asside for her to pay certain of the bills. What she can pave out of her salary and exnenses she puts with bis share of the budget. What's Yours Is Mine"

It's Easier to Prevent Than to Cure Bad Habits

An eifg-eating hen is a bolshevik that is liable to corrupt the rest of the flock with her uneconomic no

tions regarding rations. She should b? removed to a place where her example will have no effect on her sisters, or she should have her head cut off, for the habit is practically incurable. Eating eggs begins usually when an egg has been broken in the nest, or when it has been cracked by freezing and then thawed out. Keeping the nests well supplied with straw or other nesting material will reduce the danger of breakage, and darkening them will reduce the chances of broken eggs being found by the hens. It is a good idea to gather the eggs twice a day in cold weather so that none will be frozen.

Kens that are not properly fed will have a. rav?nous appetite for eggs, both the shells and the contents, so that providing a well-balanced ration is some insurance against the development of the habit. In winter there is particular danger that some lack in the feed will develop an abnormal appetite, so plenty of animal matter, such as meat scraps, and lime in the form of oyster shells or bone, should be taken to provide it. Another bad habit enjoyed by these dietetic bolshevists is feather plucking from themselves or from oth?r members of the flock. Improper feeding, insect pests, and too close confinement are the usual causes for starting this habit. But it is not so hard to cure as egg eating. A plentiful supply of animal and green feed and good range or plenty of exercise by feeding in a deep litter, and freedom from insect pests will usually bring the fowls back to a normal appetite.

HOGS NEED PROTEIN

In the animal husbandry display, it was shown that a protein supplement fed with corn in fattening hogs is essential. Miniature hogs

and self-feeder, made out of -wall board, show the results of two

years' experimental work in feeding hogs at Purdue. Hogs weighing the same, ninety-nine pounds at the start, and finished to 219 pounds each for market, were fed corn with different rations. The

J display showed the amount of corn

and protein supplement each lot of hogs, twenty in each lot, required to make 100 pounds of gain when fed with the different supplements; also the number of days required to finish the hogs for market by put

ting on 120 pounds of gain. Tha various rations brought the following results: Corn and Buttermilk Corn, 337 pounds; buttermilk, 443 pounds; 58 days. Corn and Fish Meal Cora, S56 pounds; fish meal, 19 pounds; 64 days. Cora and Tankage Corn, 374 pounds; tankage 25 pounds; 68 days. Corn and Ground Soy Beans Corn. 424 pounds; soy beans, 33 pounds; 82 days. Cora Alone 583 pounds; 126 days. The displays were two of the mos convincing of the entire show and attracted much comment from farmers and stockmen. tuiiiiiiiiitiiiitiiitiiiiiiittiiiiniHiiiuiiuHHitMiiiiiiHitiimntiiiiHittiiiiiiuit TANKAGE 60 Protein $55.00 a ton; $2.85 cwt.
