HOW WOMEN HAVE ADVANCED
Interesting Now to Recall Their
Status In Great Britain Less
Than a Century Ago.
Should women be whipped?

Should women be whipped?
Just Il century ago wiseacres. poll
ticians and noble lords of Great Brit
ain were debating the point. II was
quite new idea to worry about what
was happening to women. but after
some discussion II was decided that
they ought not 10 be whipped--that
the best way TO handle them was on
the ''gentle-but-frm' method-and In
1920 the wiseacres. politicians and
noble lords passed bill known MS
the whipping act, prohibiting the cor
poral punishment OF women.
Having made this exertlon on wom-
ems behalf they returned to the dis
cussion Of things which interested
them.
Fifty years passed. The seed which
had been planted In 1870 began TO
take root In 1ST0.sand the question of
special legislation for women again
bobbed up. This time an act was
passed allowing women 10 be posses
sors of their own property-a mag.
unanimous document known as the
married women's property act.
Those two acts, small In themselves,
were of great portent to women. They
were the first admission, that women
had any rights or legal status.
In the last fifty years women have
come to the foreground In leaps and
bounds. By the Interpretation act of
1889 the government went so far as
TO allow that words in any act of
parliament passed after 1850 lmputing
the masculine gender shall include
females unless the contrary intention
appears. Mail.
