STRUGGLE FOR WOMEN IS
FAME OF ALETTA JACOBS
THE HAGUE, Jan. 15. (^—Equal
ity of the sexes In all social aspects
lias been the ideal of Aletta H. Jac
obs and largely thru her influence
Dutchwomen have acquired much
greater political and economic inde
pendence in the last thirty years. Dr.
Jacobs’ name stands first among the
prominent women of present-day Hol
land.
When she was born nearly seven
ty-two years ago women did not count
for much except as /the wives of their
husbands or the daughters of their
fathers. Dutch universities did not
dream of admitting women to their
medical schools when Aletta made up
her mind to become a doctor. At
twenty-five, however, she had gain
ed a degree of doctor of medicine
from Groningen University and be
gan practice as the first woman phy
sician in The Netherlands.
Since then, few international wo
men’s congresses have been held
without her conspicuous presence.
Collaborating closely with Mrs. Car
rie Chapman Catt, and in personal
contact with all the feminist move
ment leaders in Europe, Dr. Jacobs
blazed the trail for women’s rights
and franchise in the face of a full
blast of sex prejudice.
TITLED ENGLISH LADIES SEE
AS MANY POWDER-PUFF GIRLS
LONDON, Jan. 14. (/P)—Assertion
that love of the open air and sports
has sounded the death knell of the
flirtatious, powder puff girl are re
futed by Lady Forbes Robertson,
Lady Martin-Harvey and others who
maintain that the young women of
today are as feminine as ever.
The physical training instructress
of the Blackburn Education Commit
tee contends that when a girl’s leas
ure is devoted to healthy outdoor
recreation “she has neither the time
nor the mind to powder her nose, or
wonder if she is sufficiently attrac
tive to men.’’
TABLET TO MARK LAND GRANT
ORIGINALLY GIVEN LAFAYETTE
TALLAHASSE, Fla., Jan. 14. (£>)—
An acho of an historic incident was
heard here when a report was submit
ted to the legislature on preparations
ifor the placing of a tablet at the
southwest corner of a section of land
granted by Congress to General La
fayette, in 1824.
The property interesection is just
outside Tallahassee, and is on the
identical spot where a monument has
been placed, marking the Florida me
ridian. ,
According to historical data, Con
gress, on December 28, 1824, “in con
sideration of services and sacrifices,”
ordered the paymentof $200,000 to
General Lafayette, and a grant of
land, “in any of the unappropriated
lands of the United States.” General
Lafayette, and his heirs, the latter
sharing in the grant, chose <a section
in the norther npart of Florida, just
east of Tallahassee.
The tablet to be placed on the
j Lafayette grant is one of three to be
affixed to the monument. The other
two will be used in. connection with
the meridian marking.
The Lafayette grant has long since
passed into the hands of private own
ers. There is a natural “monument”
to the distinguished French soldier
still there, however. It is Lake La
fayette.
Tommy Connelly has been umpiring
under the big top for 27 years.

War To Be Declared on Weasels,
Owls, Hawks—Destructive Ene
mies of Wild Gam.e
The charge made by Dr. W. T.
Hornaday in a statement to The
New York Times, that many species
of game were approaching the verge
of extinction in the United States be
cause of alleged Government negli
gence and alleged overzealousness
of manufacturers to sell hunting
equipment, will be one of' the prin
cipal topics at the National Game
Conference, which will be held at. the
Hotel Pennsylvania. Scientists and
sportsmen, explorers, public officials
and representatives of organizations
for the protection of game of the
United States, Canada and Mexico
will attend the conference.
Officials of the United States, Mex
ico and Canada attending the con
ference will hold a meeting in an ef
fort to reach an agreement for the
protection of migratory birds in Lat
in-America countries under treaties
resembling the Migratory Bird Trea
ty between the United States and
Canada.
The principal question to be debat
ed at the conference, which will con
tinue for two days, is “What are the
next steps to be taken relative to
the preservation of America’s supply
of wild fowl and game as an import
ant part in the program of conserva
tion of our national resources?”
To Combat Enemies of Game
Means of combatting hawks, owls,
crows and weasels, which kill more
game than is shot by the hunter ev
ery year, will be discussed. Other
topics relate to municipal forests add
their value as game refugees; the
quail and grouse situation: breeding
: and liberation of mallard ducks by
individual sportsmen and farmers;
introduction of exotic species of fowl
and game in the various states and
the results; commercial breeding of
pheasants and ducks; methods of
trapping and shipping the Hungarian
partridge; the problem of taking care
of the surplus game in certain res
stricted areas; cooperation between
sportsmen and farmer, and a ' des
cription of the tremendous task re
cently undertaken by the Canadian
G-overnment in transferring * thous
ads of buffalo and hundreds of miles
to a new country. These will be
among the many problems of inter
est to hunters and sportsmen to be
discussed.
A feature of the dinner will be
the first large showing of “The True
North,” filmed in Alaska in 1924 by
Arthur H. Young, hunter and explor
er, showing a primitive bow-and-ar
row hunt of moose, mountain sheep,
goats and the Alaskan brown bear on
the Kenai Peninsula.
FOREIGN DEMAND CREATES A
MILK INDUSTRY FOR CHINA
CHICAGO, Jan. 15. (£>)—'The for
eign colony has given rise to a thriv
ing industry new to China—the milk
business.
Jersey cows have been imported and
the water-buffalo, heretofore a mere
beast of burden, has been success
fully crossed %with European breeds,
said S. N. Au-Young, director-general
of the Chinese bureau of economic
information, who has been sojourning
here.
Chinese children for centuries have
been weaned on softened rice and
even today milk is drunk only by
children of the wealthy classes and
butter consumed only by the for
eigners.
“A large percentage of the milk
used in the European concessions
comes from the crossed-bred cows,”
Au-Young declared. “It is of fine
quality; high in butter-fat content.
But milk is still a luxury among the
Chinese.”
Crossing of turkeys and chickens
has produced a new fowl called the
“turken,” shown at an Iowa poultry
show.
The only idea some people have of
being sincere is to be privileged" to
say disagreeable things.
The man who talks about clothes
worn by the modern woman has but
mighty little to talk about.
No man should attempt to make
promises unless he has learned how
to make excuses.

The things htat don’t concern them
are the very things that give some
people the most concern.
Nobody knows more about giving un
til it hurts than the father of three or
four modern children.
The man who is too busy to think
of safety may have plenty of leisure
in the hospital later on.
