Irrespective Fcioraicd CltiLWomfiit Ask Coxvgressfar Uniform Imvs The federated club women of the United States, campaigning for a constitutional amendment and a national uniform marriage and divorce law, insist that it Is not a feminist movement, but one for the benefit of every roan, woman and child. What Is your feeling toward the movement? By JOHN t 4 DICKINSON SHERMAN AFE marriage and sane di- vorce! That is what the federated club women of the country are going to bring about if they can. The General Federation of Womens - Clubs has a membership of about 2,500,-00- 0 women united in a nationwide organization that ipenetrates every nook and corner of ;the land. These women have begun ja campaign for a national uniform marriage and divorce law, We Indorse the movement for a national uniform marriage and divorce Haw which shall pirevent hasty and marriages, preclude intere state confusion, and insure proper to all members of the family when 'divorce Is necessary. This preliminary statement of presr 'ent activities was made by the bl-- , iennial convention' of the General Federation last June at Chautauqua, (N. Y. The Federations general pur-ipoIs To promote all movements looking toward the betterment of life. ;As to this specific movement, it holds that the stability of our national fam-iil- y life Is now menaced by the diver-isltcontradiction and inadequacy of the many state statutes dealing with ithe formation and dissolution of Jus-Itic- se mar-riag- e. That our American family life is so menaced is the opinion of many. William T. Manning, Episcopal bishop of New York, put the situation in a nutshell when he said from the pulpit: "The institution of the family based In monogamic marriages is the supreme possession that man has won through all the long ages of his moral and spiritual progress. It is a simple fact that as a nation we are rap- c idly abandoning the principle of marriage. The teaching that marriage should last only while loven aboli-jtiojlasts means in plain words the of marriage and the substitution of the system of legalized free love. The General Federation is not the Header of a forlorn hope in the movement. It will have earnest In many quarters. And all those committed to the movement agree that , ja national uniform marriage and divorce law is the vital factor In the isltuatlon. From the legal viewpoint iour marriage and divorce laws are a national scandal. The American Bar .'association goes so far as to say that ja uniform marriage and divorce law Is mono-jgaml- , of the merits of the question of making divorce easier or more difficult Supporters of the movement for uniform marriage and divorce laws Insist that it is not a feminist movement. They hold that the movement is not for the benefit of women alone. They contend that the reform will benefit men, women and children all over America. A constitutional amendment and ratification by the states are necessfiry for the passage of a uniform marriage The Constitution and divorce law. has nothing to say about marriage and divorce. Regulation of marriage and divorce laws belongs to the several states. So, unless the several states can be persuaded to make tljeir laws uniform, the Constitution 'jmust be amended to give congress power to enact legislation. Uniformity through aciilon of state legislatures is apparently hopeless. South Carolina, for Instance, does, not recognize divorce; New York recognizes but one valid cause for divorce; New Hampshire recognizes fourteen. The General Federation has done more than simply demand that congress submit a constitutional amendment to the states for ratification. It has prepared a draft of a proposed law. This bill is the work of Mrs. Edward Franklin White, deputy attorney general of Indlaua, who is chairman of the Federations legislative department Her portrait is given herewith.; Mrs. Winter is the General Federations president Senator Capper of Kansas is the mere man who Senasponsors the bill in congress. tor -- Capper says of the bill, among other things: For a long time I have watched with alarm the growing marriage and divorce evil. Divorce laws generally need reform, but the first and most vital question is that the laws In all states should be identical, so I was glad to introduce the bill prepared by the General Federation of Womens Clubs. At the outset I am not prepared to state that I favor all the terms of the bill, buf It is a fair beginning and from it we should get a reasonable, sane and safe nation-wid- e law. Mrs. White has prepared, In the Judgment of many, the best draft of a national marriage and divorce law ever drawn. It is not probable, however, even in the event of a constitutional amendment permitting legislation, that the bill would be passed as drawn, Congress, of course, would debate Its provisions at great length, and probably would make many changes. It is of interest, however, to know what 2,500,000 educated and reputable American women from all parts of the country think should be the notional uniform marriage and divorce law of the land. Here are some of the high points in Mrs. Whites bill : One of the purposes of the bill is to prevent hasty and foolish marriages. The age at which girls and boys may marry with consent of the parents is fixed at sixteen years for girls and eighteen years for boys. The age at which they may marry without consent of the parents Is fixed at eight , een and twenty-on- e years, respectively. "No license to marry," reads section five, shall be Issued to one who is at the time married, or under the age limit, or an Imbecile, pauper, epileptic, or afflicted with tuberculosis or a venereal disease, or where the applicants are members M dfifeifenF races. First cousins and persons of nearer degree of consanguinity are also prohibited from marrying. r Application for a marriage license must have been made by one of the parties at least two weeks before the license shall be Issued.! No license shall be Issued, the bill sets forth, unless both of the contracting parties shall personally appear before the proper marriage license clerk, who shall further require of the parties a statement under oath relative to the legality of the contemplated marriage with full' as required by section-fivedetails, including any prior marriage, and the manner of Its dissolution." The clerk must make public the application. An objector' may apply to , the courts. Two competent witnesses must be present at the marriage, in addition to the officiating person, who may be any one now authorized by the laws of the state to perform the ceremony, and regardless of customs, rules and regulations of any religious society, denomination or sect. Marriages must be reported by ..the clerk to. the state. Penalties are provided for violation of the law either by those marrying or the license clerk. The other purpose of the law is to An enmake divorce more difficult. forced delay of 60 days between the filing of the suit and the trial is provided. Five causes for divorce are listed: Adultery, abandonment or failure to provide for one year, conviction of an Infamous crime, Incurable insanity and cruel and inhuman treatment. The last of these specifies that the offense may be either mental or , physical. Upon the granting of a divorce, section stipulates, "an the thirty-thir- d interlocutory decree shall be enacted in favor of the plaintiff, which shall become final only after the lapse of a year. Until such decree shall become filial, neither party may marry an- . other. Under the law any marriage within the year can be accomplished only through falsifying, under oath, and the offender can be punished by a fine of hot less than $100 or more thun $500, or by Imprisonment In the county Jail not more than one year, or both by such fine and imprisonment. Enforcement of the law is left to the states and their legal machinery. No new federal machinery is created. L t. be done again.

(1) Is it proper for a girl of 13 to go home from a house party with a boy? This boy Is a personal friend. (2) Is It proper for a girl of 13 to go to a public dance in the country. By my writing how old do you think I am? Hoping I am not too much trouble, I remain, your loving FRIEND PEGGY. Very glad you have spoken. Friend Peggy.(1) Surely, from a neighborhood party. (2) No,- - Peggy, not to a public dance. You should not go to a public dance for several years and then only with a chaperone In your party. I would guess your age about 13. Dear Miss Brooks: Have been reading your corner and find It very interesting. (1) How old should a girl be before going to public dances. (2) Is It proper for girls to use rouge or lip stick In abundance? (3) Does it make any difference When marrying which is the older, the boy or girl?

Personally, girls, I would not advise a girl to ever go to the public dances unless In a party of friends and unless the party Is chaperoned. (2) No, girls should not use rouge or lip stick.

Perhaps it I tell you a little about It, someone of your readers may recognize It and send it to you, so it can be printed. The scene Is laid at the time of the Civil War, and is' about two boys, one who was "tall and dark with his mother's picture, and the other was a blue eyed boy with golden hair with picture. They are "about to make a dangerous charge, and as they are pals they are afraid they may not both return In safety, so they exchange pictures and promise that if the other "dosent get back the one who is left will go see the mother or sweetheart as the ,case may be. "So together they rode to the top of the hill where the enemy was, and there they are both killed, so the mother and sweetheart never receive the boys last messages. It Is a very beautiful song. My father used to sing It but has forgotten it now, and as I am a Southerner I love everything about the South its songs, poems, stories, everything. I would like also to get the song Apple Blossoms. If .1 could. Hoping if you know of these songs, you will print them; I thank you again. W ANITA, Utah.
