MOMENTS NIGHT
 COURT FAILURE
New York Will Try New Method in Dealing With
 Question.

New York, April 21.---After an eX- pertinent covering a period of nine years the women's night court gave way today to a day court for the trial of women charged with minor of lenses. The new court over which Chief Magistrate William McAdoo presided, will try new methods in it's dealings with women of the street in an attempt to make of it a moral clinic rather than a place of ques- ton.
 Far removed from easy access from the street and surrounded by every device to protect them from the gaze of the curious, women offenders here after will face the magistrate in broad daylight of the morning after their arrest. From detention quarters the prisoners pass through a corridor. which has been termed the ''bridge of hope" to the court room. The new court also contains finger print rooms, two prison pens, a medical exa1nlna- ton room and probation officer. In announcing the change in the hours of the session of the women s court, Chief Magistrate McAdOo said that it was the desire of the nagis- trate's court to do away with the sen- sationalism of the old night court, which had come to be a. metropolitan institution that divided honors with Chinatown as a mecca, for visitors seeking a dip into the night life of the city.

ENGLAND RAISES BAN ON WOMIEE:N
 LAW STUDENTS

London, April 4, CCorrespondence of the Associated Press.) The House of Lords having possed the second reading of Lord Buclzmaster's bill letting down the bars of the legal profession to women, the indications are that the measure will become a law during the present parliament tary session.
 One by one. as a veteran observer of the struggle for women's rights points out. all the old sex barriers are tumbling down. It was strange blessing of this bill pronounced by the Lord Chancellor who, as Sir F. l.. Smith, was one of the chief opponents of women suffrage when he was a member of the House of Commons.
 The work performed by women during the war, the Lord Chancellor explained, in vindicating his former opposition. had profoundly altered matters. "I must say" he continued that under the changed circum- stances of the time the government welcomes this proposal. and that it is their hope that they may be able tc give it such assistance as will render its passing into law highly probable .
 The bill SOnfers upon women the right of qualifying either as solicitor: or barristers. It does not extend however. to Scotland or Ireland.

\. w. C. A. BEGINS
 RECONSTRUCTION WORK

Paris, April 21-(By Cable)-The American '. w. c. A. has gone into the invaded regions of France, those gaunt, barren lands that lie for miles in ruin. It has gone for wom- en and girls who are slowly going back with the remnants of their fam lilies to the wastes the war has left them, to do reconstruction and club work.
 Miss Grace Drake of Cleveland, for merly director of the Cleveland Music School Settlement, will be in charge of all Y w. c. A. work in the devas- tated regions which means. probably building dormitories where women and girls may live and starting club work which will furnish them some sort of social life as well as recrea- ton.
 The first reconstruction work be- gan in Rheims. Lille and Epernay will have Y. W. c. A. workers some time this month.
 Work in these centers is being start ed as soon as enough of the bare necessities of life can be gathered together to make living possible.
 In Rheims there was absolutely no place where the workers could live no glass in the windows, no fuel, no food-nothing. They have set up a portable hut now and Miss Agnes Winter of Philadelphia, director of the work in Rheims is living there with her assistant, Miss EsteHa V. Sherril of Harmon, Okla
 Miss Drake had been chosen as one of the women who would go abroad this month with the industrial commission which the National War Work Council of the '. w c. A. Is sending to France, Switzerland, Italy and England. Before that time, however, Miss Mary Dingman, head of the '. W. c. A. industrial work in France, chose Miss Drake to go overseas to take charge Of this spe- cfal reconstruction work which the '. w. c. A. was to start.

Papa" a comedy by Zoe Akins, come forth this week at the Little Theatre after 1t had received a near production" on several previous oc castons. There isn't much story to the play, it is all humor and sugges- ton and cIeverness. Indeed, the ac- ton is secondary to the cleverness of the lines. suggestive of The Smart Set, Town Topics, and the bright things you say the next day when you should have said them last night in your irnpromptu speech. Papa" is quite harmless, although the story reads terribly naughty. Papa" is not Sunday school entertainment but if you can take a joke. 1t is good enough for the average playgoer. The cast was less interesting than the lines. John L. Shine Is hardly the sort of American papa one would select, and as for the woman, this Is chiv- ralrous age and one agrees that 1t is in1politic to at all times express ones zA1
