He could seek aid from the State Department of Agriculture and if this aid was not sufficient, the Agricultural Bu reau in Washington sent a special ist who examined, consulted, treat ed, and probably even- psyco-ana- lized the pigs! On the other hand, there was no help from the govern ment for sick babies or sick mothers. The deatli rate for children under “ one year of age in America exceeded that'of any other nation. Until a few years ago, there was no aid for expectant mothers nor aid for moth- ■ ers in childbirth from the govern ment. Realizing the alarming situa- tion, all the Women Associations of America joined together and said: “This one thing we will try to achieve, that a woman may have scientific care before and after the birth of a child and that she may receive medical aid in the rearing : of her children.” The Congressmen .said that they had never seen as many telegrams, lettjersj and pe titions as those which poured into Washington about this affair. As a result of this feverent effort, “The Sheppard-Towner Maternity Act,” was passed. The states have not taken this project seriously, but there is hope that they will consider very seriously if the ‘Jones Act, ’ which is now‘pending is passed. Until recently, an American girl, who married a foreigner, lost her citizenship. Mrs. Palmer Jerman state that although a woman marry ing a foreigner migh show a decided lack of taste, she has done nothing to loose citizenship. The Women’s Associations set out to have this ban removed. As a result we have the “Cabell Act,” which . determines citizenship of a woman marrying a foreigner. There have also been constant alttempts to pass aj bill which will make marriage and di- The Major acliievement of the Woman’s Clubs in North Carolina was the introduction of the use of the Australian ballot in voting. When . the women of North Carolina began voting, they were distressed at the voting situation. Every Tom, Dick and Harry eould see how any one voted and tried to inflkienee the voters by suggestions not •equired. The situation was so disagreeable to the women that it was almost the first problem of the women’s meet ings, and because of the women, the Australian Ballot was introduced. The w'omen meant for this ballot to insure a woman or any person, the privilege of entering the voting booth, securing a ballot and voting as he or slie pleases without any as sistance or interference. However, when the bill w'cnt to the Legisla ture, it met a rebutal. The Leg islators argued that illiterate women needed the aid of their husband in voting. Mrs. Jerman said that she believed in enforcing educational re quirements for voting, because with facilities every body can be that il literate. However, she said that if a woman needs her husband’s visible protection in voting, he, by all means, needs her mental direction. Another reform for which the women are striving is that the con sent of marriage be raised from 14 to Ifi years and even higher. The on ly reform concerning marriage so far, has been the Marriage Bill wliicli requires five days notice be fore a marriage can take place. The bill was passed for two particular reasons; First, to discourage big amy; and second, to give the people concerned time to think about it— incidentally stopping what is known as “F’ord Marriages.” A reform still in the making is the “Child I^abor Law,” ■ North Carolina is far behind in the pro tection of working children. This bill, when introduced in the Senate encounters difficulties. Its opponents said that this bill was the result of the sentimentality of woman because she didn’t want her own child work. Nevertheless the following bill was introduced. “It is unlawful that any child under sixteen should work more than eight hours a day certain occupations.” The bill pass ed the lower house, but when it reached the Senate a rider was at tached to it with the intention of weakening it. The rider contained the following provision, “No child under sixteen shall work in certain occupations more than eight houi day provided this child has not passed the fourth grade.” Accord- ',ng to Mrs. Jerman, by the provision of the rider, the State is protecting the morons and penalizing the telligent children. The women are advocating that the State provide some care for the delinquent colored girl. The white girl is cared for at Samarcand, the white boy is cared for at J ackson Training School, and the colored boy, at Morrison School. However, there is no provision for the colored girl, a member of a race to which America, especially the South, a definite obligation. Otlier reforms which the women voters of Nortli Carolina are work ing for are: An eight months school for ever}' school; preteetion of chil dren in hazardous occupati aid,for widowed mothers, enabling them to keep tlieir children with them, instead of sending! them to Orphan Asylums. Mrs. Jerman said that the easiest use of citizenship is to put good m d women in office. However, ur have several women voting will be impossible to fill all the of fices with good people. There is too much prejuidice on the part of in voting. In the home there is the dual responsibility of both the father and the mother. This dual respon sibility of both sides is. needed in the United States Government. Wishing for good reforms and for good legislations will not bring these things to pass. Feel the responsibil ity of it and back up the wish with action! Another problem in which women ust have a great influence in the problem of International Relations. The term International Relations sounds distant and far away; yet, it I further than our own fire sides ur own front doors. Citizens may think this problem has no defi- concern for them; but in the It war, there was no valley too secluded, nor no beach too remote, that the government did not take ; one’s brother, husband, or father away to fight. With adequate defense there must go along an effort for final peace. In conclusion, “What is the use of education if the advancing intelli- e of women does not better con ditions. It is a known fact that International Peace is possible, that right and that it will eventually ;. World Peace is a big step toward real life. No one lives but ofice. The only real contributions one can make to life is iservice. i up to the younger women of America to be able to put “first things first,” and, thereby, make the •rt’orld better for having once lived in The Girl Who Irregular Verbed A lovely young lady acquaintan of mine Aspired in the world literary to shine; So she picked out her text books an armful or more To give her the knowledge to which she aspore. She hired the best teaeliers who ever liad taught For the prize she much snatch, it must surely be snaught. Tlie rhythmic afflatus, she always had felt If she ever revealed it—must be revealt. Thus for hours every day she most patiently sat. Splitting all the infinitives were splat. She diagrammed sentences, simple, compound. Declining all adjectives ever clouned. When repeating a rule that most pupil's forget. It was that very rule that she alway. repet. All her lessons in fact, whether oral If called to recite were as good as recitten. When her course was completed, a position she chose, Instructed to advertise she adver- But one day she awoke from the dream she had dreampt, For a scribbler’s career did not seem what it semt! So she married a farmer, makes but ter and cheese, Sometimes she is toze for her friends love to tease Her about the afflatus that one disturbed The lady who always irregular verbed! —Sophie E.
