WIIIHav^lg^Roie in Reconstruction
War Brings Right to Vote
WT and Sit in House of
Commons.
London.—The women of Great Brit
ala are eoimr to play a Mg*°le in _
construction.
They have won the right to be heard
by saving the nation—and the nation
recognizes it.
The war has brought British women
tlie vote and the right to sit in the
house of commons—sacred to the
“stronger sex” throughout the history
of the British empire.
It is probable women’s right to sit
in the house of lords will be establish
ed shortly, as well as the admittance
of women to the professions on an
equal footing with men.
The question of “equal pay for equal
work” has been met in instances, but
largely it remains to be fought out af
j ter the industrial change-over.
Want Age Limit Lowered,
i Only women over thirty may vote,
but there is already a demand that this
age limit be reduced.
Women have also invaded the
. 1 “strangers’ gallery” of tbe commons,
„; m ti>«* rmViUo gallery is called. The
first woman to take advantage or tins j
newly won privilege was Mrs. Walker
Kerr of Kensington, who formerly liv- j
ed in New Zealand, where she had
the vote for 25 years.
English pupers predict that women
will add dignity to the commons, dig
nified as it is, and prevent “anti” mem
bers from hiding behind pillars and
doors when a “count” Is demanded.
Already a number of women have an
nounced they will be candidates in the
coining elections—many of them on
planks dealing with reconstruction
tasks.
Mrs. Dacre Fox, one of the leaders of
the "intern ’em all” agitation, made the
following statement in connection wltfr
her intention to oppose Sir George
Gave, the home secretary:
“I will oppose him because his de
partment placed every obstacle In the
way of the internment of all enemy
aliens.”
Here are views expressed by promi
nent women of England upon the new
order:
Mrs. Pankhurst: “The decision of
the house in granting women the right
to sit as members was the logical out
come of getting the vote, but I think
the vote is much the more important
thing. I shall vote to get the right
type of men into parliament rather
than to get women into parliament. I
am very anxious that the strength of I
the woman voters—6,000,000 strong— i
shall be given to help combat the very
real danger of international bolshe
vism.”
“Sex Makes No Difference.”
Lady Frances Balfour: “The sooner
the nation forgets the sex of Its enfran
chised citizens, or its members In pub
lic work, the better for all concerned.
Sex must make no difference in the ,
binding obligations of those who form
that great assemblage, the faithful
commons, in the mother of parlia
ments.”
Baroness Hhondda (who as a peer
ess in her own right is expected to
claim, as a test case, the right of wom
en to sit in the house of lords) : “I
think it is just as desirable that wom
en should be in the house of lords as
it is that they should sit in the com
mons. The way for women in the lords
will be made easier by the admission
of women to the commons.”
Two Ducks Killed by Tire Blow-Uut.
Ivato, N. Y. — Leigh Hampton
donned his rubber boots and drove
his automobile to Sweet creek to wash
the machine, .lie had worked nearly
| ten minutes when two ducks swam
j down the creek and under the car.
j When Hampton was ready to depart
I lie discovered the ducks picking at
i the rear tire. Befttre lie could drive
them away the tire blew up. Both
ducks were killed.
iCOTS TAKE TO JAZZ
Bagpipe Is Routed by American
Music.
Lncsies Also Develop Love of the
Trot, One-Step and Other
Yank Dances.
Evanston, 111.—According to K. J.
Hollinshead of this city, secretary in
an American Y. M. C. A. naval hut
somewhere in Scotland, the canny
Highlander is succumbing to the lure
of the navy's jazz bands and in many
a “wee house on the heather” the bag
pipe statids in the corner unused.
Along with the craze for jazz there
has naturally developed a love of the
trot and one-step. When Jack comes
ashore lie wants to dance. But In Scot
land he didn’t find much satisfaction
in watching the lassies doing a horn
pipe, nor did the bngpipe seem like
music to his "jazzened” ears.
At one port where our navy men
came ashore in great - numbers the
boys couldn’t find a dance hall of any
sort, so they came to Mr. Hollinshead
of the Y. M. C. A. and asked ids help.
After scouring the town he found the
only available room was the upstairs
of a second-hand shop. With the aid
of a working party from the ship he
was able to have the junk removed
after four hours’ labor and the place
was converted into a very usable ball
room.
Mr. Hollinshead then Introduced the
boys to a number of the nice Scotch
girls of the town, the ship’s jazz band
played American “rags,” and soon the
lithesome lassies were swinging into
step and the first of a series of many
dances was inaugurated.
