After Roberts had advised Corpora- tion Counsel Bride about the case, it was announced they would urge upon Congress next January the adoption of a new conditional sales law for the District, under which a car purchaser could not be deprived of his equity 11 a machine he contracts to buy on time pavments.

WILSON RITES Fer Keeping Post as State Lawmaker Wife of Interior Secre- tary to Retain Republican Place in Legislature. By the Associated Press. ‘The decision of Mrs. Harold L. Ickes, wife of the present Secretary of the Interior, to continue her activities as a Republican member of the Illinois Legislature has startled politically minded women in Washington. Most of them had taken it for granted that when the session of that body ended she would return to Washington and take up the customary social duties of the wife of a cabinet officer. But Mrs. Ickes' decision, said that alert observer among the woman Demo- crats, Emily Newell Blair, “demonstrates the fact that man and wife do not pool their brains with marriage.” . Feminist Alice Paul praised Mrs. ckes: “It is splendid she is to coniinue her work. We wish Mrs. Ickes every suc- cess and fell it is of great importance for women to have her hold & position of influence in the political life of the country.” “She has a perfect right to do as of Senator Hattle Caraway. “If she wants a career and is thinking more abort it than her husband's—that’s what it com:cs down to.” That salwart among Republican women, Mrs. Dolly Gann, was not shocked. “Of course, I have a Democratic husband. Every woman has to work out her own problem.” Deaths Reported. Amelia C. Halley. 88, 54 T st. Berry. 80, 18 Seaton pl. 0. Casualty Hospital. % nger Hospital Leonard Bengal. 24, Providence Hospital.
