Winnipeg, Manitoba, Aug. 26.-''The
most disquieting feature of the times
is the revolt of women against their
womanhood and their claim to be on
an equality with men in every way"
This statement was one of the sa-

M. E. Armstrong. president of the
chemical section of the British Asso-
citation for the advancement of Sci
ence which began its sessions here
today.
Prof. Armstrong declared his faith
in the progress Of chemistry toward
the solving of life and sex. He found
fault with the present conditions Of
society which. he said, placed no hind
rance in the way Of the marriage Of

that those who presumably are the

MUCH IS EXPECTED
OF NEW MEXICO TEAM

That the New Mexico rifle team
is doing good work at Camp Perry is
shown by the records made by the
team on the last practice shoot, held
just one day before the national
shoot commenced.
The practice was held at varying
distance. from 200 yards to 1000
yards, the firing being both quick
and slow, thus affording to the
marksmen the same conditions that
they would meet in the national
shoot, and also making the shooting
more difficult. being held from so
manys different ranges.
In the following records, "a score
of $50 would have been perfect
score, the nearest approach to that
being made by Capt Carlos Vierra,
of Santa Fe, who succeeded in get
ting 297 out of that number. The
remainder, in order of their marks
