Woman Will Never Be Equal

Washington, April (Special.)—The
fattunists have stormed the White House
;»•»<! demanded of President Harding that
be support legislation which will make
woman, in reality, the equal of man. ft
is said that the President expressed the
;hope that woman might never be the
.equal of man, but might continue to he
his superior.
The legislation the women demand is
regarded as simple on its face. But it
might work a revolution in its operation.
It generalizes rather than specifies, and
strong and persistent effort will be neces
sary if it is ever to get through Con
gress. At any rate, that seema to he
the judgment of conservative members
of-the legislative department of the gov
ernment.
One of the ablest and most aggressive
feminists in Washington has to a limited
extent specified. Miss Gertrude Van
Hoesen, in addressing a large gathering
Of working girls at the local Young
Women's Christian association, charac
terized the needle as the invention of
the devil. When that remark came pat
from her lips, newspaper men sough;
to observe whether or not she had sae.ri
Joyful Family Reunion
"Two of my brothers, a sister, as well
as myself have been cbronic sufferers from
gas in stomach, indigestion, pain in riirbt
.tide near appendix and liver trouble for
many years. My sister tried Mayris Won
derful Remedy with such good results
that we all took a course of it and it
helped in each case. Last Sunday we had
a family reunion in celebration of our re
covery and what we all did eat.” It is a
simple, harmless preparation that removes
the catarrhal mucus from the intestinal
‘ tract and allays the inflammation which 1
causes practically all stomach, liver and in*
testinal ailments. including appendicitis.

ficed Judgment for pungent rhetoric.
But, no. She meant it. She repeated it.
INSPIRATION LACKS
"There is no inspiration in darning
socks," she continued, "or in washing and
ironing one's own shirtwaists—at least,
not for the American business woman.
When Sister Sue comes home from of
fice she must not take a hand at doing
up the dishes or darning Brother Bob'*
socks. ,
"No, indeed! When she pays her
mother her board she has discharged
her domestic obligations. She must not
expend valuable energy in such efficiency
destroying tasks as crumbing the linen
or drying tea cups. For father and
brother never do housework after a hard
day at the office.
"Did you ever see father making over
last season's pants? Then why should
a woman use up her energy in isuch
work?"
It is this idea of feminine independence
that the feminists are determined to
write into organic law. And there is
much of divorce and illegitimacy of chil
dren, division of profits, and inheritance

rene highness,” Albert S, Prinoe of

serenity, and some amusement at the ob
vious fawning of the academy over the
approach of this potentate, there is in
terest In Albert. For he is a student of
the ocean.

SLIGHT CHANGES
IN BUDGET BIEL
Will Be Same In All Essentials
as Measure Vetoed By
President Wilson
, By Amodltad Press
Washington, April 9.—The budget bill
which Chairman Good of the House ap
propriations committee expects to intro
duce Monday when Congress convenes
will be the same in essentials as the
measure passed by the last Congress and
veteoed by former President Wilson, tt
will provide, however, for a budget
bureau with both its directors and assis
tant appointed by the President, Mr.
Good said today, after a conference with
President Harding. The vetoed bill con
tained a provision, inserted by the Sen
ate, that the director should be the
Secretary of Treasury with an assistant
appointed by the President.
The bill as completed today, Mr. Good
said, would stipulate that Congress shall
have authority to remove the comptrol
ler of the currency from office. In veto
ing the old bill Mr. Wilson objected to
this clause on the ground that the power
of removing the comptroller should re
main exclusively in the hands of the
President.
Mr. Good said he expected the Senate
again to insist that the Secretary of the
Treasury direct the activities of the bud
get bureau, ana predicted that a bill
containing such a provision would be
introduced in the Senate.
The appropriations committee chair
man said later President Harding was
impressed with the importance of In
augurating a budget system. The bud
get bill will be given a place near the j
top of the legislative calendar, with a
view to having it enacted at an early

Help us swell the attendance to the maximum
yet had at any opening game in the Southern
League by closing your place of business and al
lowing your employes to attend. This should ap
peal to the civic pride of all Birmingham citizens
who have an interest in their home town. Help
us wrest the attendance honors from Atlanta,
which holds the record for the south. In 1920,
Atlanta had 13,242 paid admissions at the open

If you think Birmingham is the best city in the
south, and you feel the just pride in your city
that every good citizen should, help us capture
this honor. It is well worth the effort. We can
do it and we are counting on every man, woman
and child to put this over. Let’s make it neces
