The Womans’ Bureau of the United States Department of Labor characterizes laws which discriminate against married wo- men in the field of economics as “unjust and unsound.” “Scientific investigations,” re- |ports the Bureau, “show that the majority of married) women work because their wages are needed to support the family, or supplement the husband’s inade- quate wages.” If this is true, what a hardship it must work to dismiss a valued employee, simply because she is married. To have a husband and to have children is a good and natural ambition. The nation that discriminates against marriage will certainly pay a heavy penalty. It is a hard thing that women must confront the question whe- ther as citizens of the United States, they are to be free as other citizens are free, even though married, or whether or not they are to continue in eco- nomic bondage. Every woman who marries in the State of Florida automatically becomes a chattel, bound eco- nomically and legally as firmly as though she actually donned handcuffs at the altar. We are going to change that in the coming legislature. We must remain alert to refuse these fur- ther economic discriminations which are sweeping the nation, as a whole, today.

Following the reception in a gay scene of colored lights seated at the table of honor Colonel Batista and party which included military and civic officials of Key West and Cuba were guests given by the Sociedad de Cuba. Although the colonel did not dance he enjoyed very much the floor show presented by Mrs. Belle de Poo which was repre- q sentative of American, Cuban} and Spanish dancing. A Spanish castanet dance was by Mrs. Belle de Poo in native Spanish costume. Orlando Caraballo and Miss Celia Bello then entertained with a “Big Apple” dance which the colonel enjoyed very much. Mrs. R. E. Moore sang the Victor Her- bert, “Rose Marie” and her daugh- ter, petite Shirley Moore, enter- tained with an American tap dance. Mr. and Mrs. Julio de Poo then danced a tango. In a finale Tony and Celia Bethencourt danced a Cuban Rumba. On Batista’s arrival at the dance the Cuban and American National anthems were played and President Raymond Delgado of the Cuban Club and Board of Directors were introduced to him.
