HOLLAND WOMEN
| DEMANDING RIGHTS
New Movement Meets Much
Opposition From the Old
fashioned Women

The Hague, Dec. s.--The ideals and
ideas of Dutch women, for centuries
confined to children, kitchen and
church, have undergone a change and
the daughters of the land of windmills
and canals are making strong fight
for their rights.
Several great organizations have
been formed for Improvement of the
conditions Of women. With the ne
vision of the Dutch constitution last
year, women obtained fun suffrage
and the result is that now there are
women in nearly every town council.
Realizing, however that the posses
sion of the vote alone does not decide
the lot of women, the promoters of
the movement are now seeking to
bring about changes in the laws and
regulations which discriminate against
the sex economically and socially
According to the Dutch law" said
Mrs. Wijnandts Francken, one of the
leaders of the womens movement, "the
father has practically all the say about
the education of the children. He de-
cides as to their future. consents to
their marriage and may send them

EXPECT AMERICAN
STUDENTS IN FRANCE
Partisan Thinks German Universities
Will Be Avoided for Many
Years to Come

Paris, December 16.=Next year is
likely to see great influx of Amer
lean students - French universities,
in the opinion oy H. S. Krans, secre-
tary of the Anglican University union
in Europe. Mrs. Krans' new Paris
headquarters facing the Luxembourg
Gardens, are being fitted up to re-
ceive and advise seekers after knowl-
edeg from overseas.

union now has SO American learned in

GLIDING Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Johns

universities and colleges throughout
the United States.
Paris is destined to become the
brain of the world" said Mr.. .Krans to
a correspondent of the Associated
Press. German universities will be
largely avoided by Americans. Dogged
determination was shown by one young
New York student who arrived here
with the problem how to board and
live on six francs day. Through the
medium of the union. French landlady
gave him a small room for two francs
day. The young man cooks his own
meals and is passing rich on four
francs a day"
French teachers and students are
constant and eager inquirers at the
unions Paris home. Many of them are
anxious to take a course of studies in
the United States. Fourteen French
students are already studying in Amer

IRISH ATTITUDE
TOWARD SOLDIERS
Men Who Fought In France Are Not
Well Received on Their Re-
turn Home

Dublin, December 17.-Eamonn de
Valera's speeches in America with re-
gard to the part played by Irish SOL
diers in the war have been read in Ire
land with some surprise, and it is
pointed out here that in this matter
Mr. De valera's sentiments differ a
good deal from those of his supporters.
Capt NJ. Walter, Dublin physician
and member of the Dublin municipal
council. who served throughout the
war in the army medical corps, writes
as follows in the Dublin Press:
"All the ex-service men. and there
are over 10000 of us, were pleased to
find Mr.. De Valera assuring his Amer
Han audience that we fought for a
principle and that Irishmen in the
earlier days of the war rushed to the
ranks in overwhelming numbers. But
whilst Mr.. De Valera rightly inter
| prets our position to the Americans
his followers and supporters in JDu-
bin never cease to pour. contumely on
Irish soldiers and to heap every indig-
nifty possible upon them.
Returned soldiers are treated as lie
pers rather than as heroes Men who
had not the manliness to fight either
in the army or in the rebellion now
find courage to prosecute by every
means in their power those army or
ex army men whom De Valera 1auds

PACKARD SCHOOLS
TO TEACH DRIVERS
Care of Trucks and Their
Operation Featured In
These Schools

The cost of truck transportation can be
greatly reduced by teaching drivers and
owners how to drive and maintain their
truck equipment. This fact has been
proved by the Packard schools for in
struction in truck operation These
schools. which are conducted bv Pack
ard distributors throughout the coun-
Try, nave turned out several thousand
graduates, with the result that both the
men and their trucks have given more
efficient service
There are no enrolment fees for the
instruction course, the hours are ar
ranged so as not to interfere with the
work of the chauffeurs, and there are no
tiresome lessons or studies to prepare
The work consists in a series of informal
conferences, and is practical rather than
technical No attempt is made to turn
out expert mechanics or repair men, but
effort is concentrated on making good
drivers who can prevent trouble rather
than cure it. Special stress is laid on
making the minor adjustments that keep
the truck in best running form, on detect
ing and correcting little troubles before
they become big.
After the first lecture in which the
truck structure and operation is made
clear in a general way. subsequent ses-
sions take up specifically such details as
eating systems, electrical system, clutch
and transmission, steering, brakes and
controls, loading and similar matters,
the whole course covering from six to ten
sessions. Where required the course Is
supplemented by actual driving pericNs
for demonstration.
Among the cities in which schools are
now conducted by Packard distributors
are New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Chi
cago, Kansas City, ST. Louis, Cleveland
Indianapolis, Baltimore, Albany, Omaha
Scranton, Milwaukee and Detroit Some
of the Packard distributors, in addition
to the truck instruction, conduct sepa-
rate course for owners and drivers. of
passenger motor cars.
The certificates issued by the schools
to theose who complete the course are
recognized as a guarantee of a drivers
ability by any Packard branch, and the
certificates in Detroit are accepted by
the city authorities as evidence of the
holders competency as truck operator,

OF SAME ORIGIN AS COAL
Wood Believed to Be Basis of Jet, Sub
stance Long Used for Various
Ornaments.

Jet is a sort of Ignite or anthracite,
often cut and polished, which has the
peculiarities in weight and texture OF
the hardest kind of anthracite. 1t has
been used in Britain since before his
tOric times, and was common in the
bronze age, from which times have
come jet beads, buttons, rings, armlets
and other ornaments.
julius Caesar alludes to the abund-
ance of jet in Britain, and jet Orna-
ments are found with Roman relics
in them. The monks used jet for ro-
sary beads at Whitby Abbey, and at
Whitney where it was found in the
greatest abundance. 1t occurs in ir-
regular masses in hard shale known as
jet rock.
Often microscopic examination dis
closes cOniferous wood in the COmpQ-
sition of jet. 1t is probable that jet
was developed when masses Of wood
drifted down a river, rotted or became
wafer logged and sank out at sea, be-
coming gradually buried in deposit
of fine mud which hardened eventually
into shale.. Sometimes drops of BIZ
tumin are found in jet cavities, which
seems TO confirm the suspicion of its
