BRITISH RAILWAYS
CURTAILING EXPENSES

London, Jan. 17.-Fewer and
slower express trains is the war
economy the British railways are to
practice this year Besides discontin-
uing expresses. the railways have re-
duced local services, closed smaller
stations and branch lines and cut
down the number of Sunday trains.
The excuse offered by the companies
is their reduced stats. They do not
allege loss of traffic, as the freight
business is as heavy as ever and the
hauling of soldiers makes up for re-
dueee excursion and tourist travel

Gently carried on by women of all
countries, but still others are of the
opinion that the war has done more
to awaken the self-confidence and
independence of women than all
their striyings on the platform and
has compelled men to learn the
lesson that woman is a part of the
political fabric. They argue that
while the men have been occupied
in lighting or, as in the Netherlands,
guarding the neutrality of the coun-
try against attack, woman has
shown she can fill their places in
other spheres of life equally impor-
tant for the public welfare.
Other Dutch women in the van
of the Women's movement declare
All political parties in the Meth
erlands appear to have become more
or less reeonciled to the demand for
and need of some such reform in fay-
or of women as that proposed by the
premier, and the nation awaits with
interest the outcome Of the debates
in the chambers.

DOC PORTER AND HIS
HEALTH TRAIN

Miami, Jan. 1.-THE health ex.
hibit train of the Florida State
Board of Health left Miami on the
IL o'clock train Friday for Key
West, but it will be back again next
Tuesday or Wednesday for stay of
several days, according to State
Health Officer DR.. ]. Y. Porter The
train arrived here Tuesday night
from the north and has been side
tracked near the depot.
ut is through this health train, "
said DR.. Porter this morning, that
we hope to get to the people through
the eye certain facts in regard to
sanitation and health betterment.
Although you can tell him about
these matters through pamphlets,
they seemingly fail to be impressed.
Grown people are very much like
children in some respects, and they
must be shown things"
The State Of Florida is divided in
to six health districts, each district
being in charge of one of DR.. Por-
ter's assistants in health work.
Whenever the health exhibit train
enters a district it is boarded by the
assistant in charge of that district
who accompanies the train, while
1t Is in his district At the present
time DR.. Porter is with the train, but
he does not make continuous pas
sage. Miss Herndone of Jackson
Vile is also with the exhibit while
DR.. and Mrs. Carroll Fox are on board
the train. DR.. Fox is surgeon OF
the United States Public Health Ser
vice and is making the trip at the
request of Dr. Porter. He will later
make statement as to the health
work in this state, as he is studying
the system on this trip.
Cost 10 Cents Per Capita
81 don't suppose that many people
know that the people of the state
of Florida contribute but 10 cents
per year capita to the State Board
of Health" said Dr. Porter. But
that is all it amounts to. This tram
is hauled free by the railroads Oh
the State and we can take 1t Where
and when we wish. 1t saves US
great deal of money and Is
through this health exhibit that we
hope to awaken the people on health
matters. We stop at all points,
both large and small. From Key
West we will come back along the
line, getting to Miami Tuesday OF
Wednesday. We will stop here sew
eral days at that time before golng
on north"
The health train consists OF three
cars. One is fitted up as a li'lhs
quarters for the health worAeiS
while the other two contain the eN-
hibits. There is detailed information
on all manner of diseases, with m

CRITICAL SESSION
OF GREEK DEPUTIES

Athens, Jan. 17.-What will no
doubt be the most critical session in
the history of the Greek Chamber of
Deputies opened today. There is such
intense feeling throughout the coun-
try as a result of Greece's position
in the war that factional fights are
sure to follow. King Constantine has
given no signs of changing his neu-
trail attitude, though his opponents
are still grilling him for his alleged
open sympathies toward Germany.

WOMAN'S RIGHTS BILL
IN THE NETHERLANDS
(By Associated Press.)

The Hague, Netherlands, Jan. H..
according political rights to Dutch
women is taken in bill to amend
the Netherlands constitution recent
ly introduced into the Parliament at
The Hague by Premier Cort van der
Linden. The bill, which has yet to
be voted on, does not actually give
women the ballot, but removes the
constitutional obstacles hitherto
placed in the way of their right to
vote. Should 1t pass, then the cleo
toral law will have to be amended
before women are really enabled to
exercise the political franchise.
The proposed constitutions
amendment goes even farther than
recognizing women's right to vote.
1t also includes their right to be
elected. a concession which had not
been looked for at this stage.
Dutch women, although welcom-
ing the suggested reform, are in
clined to display dissatisfaction
with the limitations of the fran
chise they may ultimately obtain
under its provisions, and in their
discomfort they are Joined by the
men, who suffer from the same re-
strictions.
The basis of the Dutch constitu-
tion is that men (and under the pro-
posed amendment also women) of 25
years of age are entitled to vote for
the 100 members of the second
chamber, which is the direct repre-
sentative body for the people of the
Netherlands. The attainment of the
age of 25 is, however. not all that is
necessary. The would-be voter must
be able to prove that he (or she) has
a certain minimum yearly income,
according to the locality
from $110 to $220-the latter in big
cities such as Rotterdam and Am
sterdam. Besides this, there are ex-
ceptions made against persons who
receive municipal assistance under
the poor laws and naturally also
gainst criminals and lunatics, while
soldiers and sailors under a certain
rank are prohibited from voting
while on service with the colors.
These various disabilities affect
nearly half a million of the Dutch
men of 25 years and over-the ap-
proximate figures for the Neither
lands being 1,467,000 men qualified
by age, of whom only 1,016,569 have
votes.
AS Is pointed out by Mrs. Aletta
Jacobs, president of the Women's
Suffrage Association of Holland. the
present composition of society offers
no obstacles to the immediate grant
ing % the right to vote to all won.
en-. She, however, argues that the
limitation under the constitution
would permit very few women to
vote. for in most cases they have no
separate incomes. She is of the opin-
ion that the vote should be given to
all mental and morally sound per-
sons of both sexes without any prop
erty restrictions.
the proposed constitutional reform Is
a happy result of the agitation re-
