This novef use of a cw-Vfrn vehicle, recalls that sonie of the oldest transportation methods still are employed In regions whose civil!-, nation is older and hlelier than that of tiie Greenland Eskimo," says a bulletin from the "Washington, D.

In India bullocks hitched to a wagon with an ornate bee-hive shaped or elongated covering; not unlike the picturesque tnl'iiceo schooner, convey the Burmese man nnd his family along the road to Mandalay. Nor does this animal cease iieiiipf a means of transportation upon his death. The natives blow up. his sKin and use it as a float or rr.ft on whirh they cross the rivers.

Thousands ;of these last named little animals daily tread the trail leading fro'm the .low lands to the city of La Paz, delivering in the capital of Bolivia practically- everythlng the city gets from the out side, world. Patiently, too, the burro lias trailed its way through history, from a periot in the Holy Land older t'nan that In which Joseph and Mary fled from Herod's slaughter of the in nocents, thence- to northern Spain and across to America with the Spanish ex plorers and" colonizers.

Linimemi(j) Dy CLARA SAVAGE v (Special Co-respondent of Tlie Star. Copyright, 1021) NEW YORK, Feb. 21. Is it Just that a man should be required by law to support, a perfectly husky, able bodied wife who can earn her own living? Is it just that a husband should be compelled to pay his wife's debts when there is no law to compel her to pay his? . . These are questions agitating fem inist and anti-feminist circles in Greater New York toay, Mrs. Norah Blatch Barney, lawyer and' daughter of the suffrage leader, Mrs.- Harriet Stanton Blatch, started the discussion wrhen she referred to them in a speech oerore tne convention of the woman's party this week. There is a wide difference of opinion among women on 'this subject as I learned today. For example, I asked Fannie Htirst whether she thought a man should support his wife. . "No," she said, most aecidedly, and added that Bhe felt neither should be responsible for the other's debts. Miss Hurst, although married, keeps her maiden name and maintains a separate apartment across - the ' hall from her . husband. ; She .has , very definite ideas In regard to woman's economic Independence. I found myself wondering, as she talked, which would be considered more striking. Miss Hurst's Ideas or her costume. She wore a blue velvet dressing gown faced with orange over black satin pajamas, a string of crystal beads about her neck, amber pins ' in her Jet-black hair and a pair of silver slippers a rather striking figure apralnst the background of an apartment rich in color where gay lit tl j canaries fly about quite freely-and-a great purple, blue and green parrot sits by her desk and cranes his neck at her manuscript as she writes. "Why should any able-bodied woman be supported?" asked Miss HurBt. "Why should any adult person be de pendent on another financially?" It was suggested that home cares cookingt sewing, washing, cleaning, marketing, taklner care of children might interfere with a woman's earn ing capacity outside the home. Miss Hurst brushed them aside. "Women have bee too loner depen dent on men too long willing to be," she said. "I believe it is better fo children if they are taken care of the greater part of the time by experts in child training rather than by their mothers. I believe that a pood many Women would be more successful as mothers, as wives and companions of tieir husbands if they followed a pro fession that brought In an income and did not let themselves become drudges in a home." In brief, Miss Hurst's recipe for .a happy married life is: "Each one earn a living and then rool it." Miss Sue White, chairman of the national resarch department of the woman's party declares" that one way to Ret true equality for women before the law is to encourage women to be come lawyers and judges. I therefore, went to the only woman ever appointed judge in New York state, Mrs. Jean H. Norris, who presides over the woman's court and the court of domestic relations. I asked her whether she agreed with the delegates to the woman's party convention who believe that a man should not be com pelled to support his wife or be re sponsible for her. debts. "I believe 99 women but of a 100 should be supported by their husbands." said Judge Norris. "I resent having: any one term this a 'privilege.' Even the word 'support' gives a wrong Im pression'. These women earn every cent they get. Heaven knows most of them spend it on the home and tho children and not on themselves. This isn't a privilege for the woman, any more than it is for the man, or rather, it Is a privilege in which they share equally. As to debts I don't believe in debts. That is a matter to be set tled put" of court, in the home. There are cases of injustice' under the law. A case came before tne in which a man had deeded over to his wife property that brought in an income of $6,000 a year. He is now old and feeble and draws a pension of $50 a month. His wife will not give, him a penny of the $6,000 and the law can not make her. On the other hand, in some states, a husband is aljowed to take every penny a wite earns and spend it "as he likes," because" bjr i aw, he has a right to her 'services. Such In justices should be remedied, but I am not in favor, at present, of any legis lation which would make it a mis demeanor for a man to support hi3 wife." tt A BEAUTY!' f That's what you'll exclaim, my boy, when we show you the fine points about this Harvard Bicycle.
