T ' '".V WOMEN MAY MARRY Postmaster General Hays Says Posta Employes Will Not Lose Rights. Postmaster General Hays has decided. that a woman postal employe do<* ndt change her status nor lose any . rights in the service, by marriage. Heretofore when an unmarried woman, holding the position of postmaster, married, she was obliged to secure a new appointment; execute a new bond, or pass the required civil service examination in competition with other candidates seeking the office, if she had not previously taken such an examination. When the competition was keen it has happened that the woman,was below three, of the ot|ier candidates and lost the office. Under the new ruling this cannot happen as the woman postmaster will continue to hold the office without a reappointment'or artother examination. Similar controversies have arisen all pver me country wnen wumni uic miployed in th? public service, particularly in school^ where it has frequently. been held that women who marry forfeit their positions as teachers. The ruling of Postmaster General Hays will set a precedent in the federal service and will no doubt have an important effect' in establishing for women the full rights of citizenship intended to b? conferred by the Nineteenth Amendment to the .constitution. ? ? ?
