TEST WELL DRILLED
NEAR FAULKNER LINE

Prof. NJ. J. McHenry and brother,
Gordon McHenry Of Dallas, Tex, mo-
tored yesterday to Nubbin Ridge. just
over the county line in Pulaski coun-
ty, to witness the work Of drilling for
oil in that vicinity. Prof. McHenry
owns a tract of land within a mile or
two of the rig location.
He reports that an S5-foot derrick
has been erected and drilling is prog
ressing rapidly. 1t is thought the well
is already down over 400 feet. Cas-
ings and all equipment for the bring
ing in of an oil we'll are already on
hand. An Iowa company is promoting
the drilling, he said, and several noted
biologists have visited the location
and reported favorably, The COM
pany, however, has purchased APP
proximately 5000 acres in the vi
cinity of the test well, and very few
leases have been obtained. The COM
pany proposes to sink several test
wells on the 5000 acres.

The press is constantly occupying itself
with the feminist movement, and we have
several newspapers which have offered u,
their support. Senior Bureos Mslo, for
mer minister Of the interior, has included
in his program votes for women, and ~s
may hope that our expectations viii be-
come reality.
Although the constitution Of our coun-
try grants certain advantages to women, as,
for instance, q right to inheritance, to
which she has right at the death Of her
husband, nevertheless, in many ways, WON
an finds herself lowered in her dignity as
mother, as, for instance, the appointment

We are asking for a reform Of the code
civil. In Spain woman cannot dispose Of
her own personal fortune, open an account
in a bank, or administer an Inheritance
without the consent and authorization Of
her husband

my mind-sskins adherence Of Spain to tb.

All our wonen's organizations, without

Poland's Plea
For Equal Vote
By Maria DoIicka

SPEAK for a country where blood has
not ceased to flow. 1 know that, in
certain quarters, Poland is blamed for still
fighting.
1t is necessary to understand the psy
chology of a people and of the women, who,
thanks to the war, have obtained their
liberty-of people, who, in the nineteenth
century, while at the summit of civilization,
suffered during that century shameful
slavery, which was only a shame for all of
Europe.
Yes, it is true! We waited for that
world war, predicted and foretold by our
greatest poets and prophets 100 years ago!
1t is since that time that we have wanted
it, have dreamed Of it and. with Mickie
wics, have prayed God for it. 1t is not
surprising that, having waited so long,
We have been able to come to the end SO
quickly.
The Washington herald., 1920-08-29

principles wholly democratic, and gave to
women all rights of the elestor.
The vote in Poland is universal. without
restrictions for sex or religion, equal, secret
and proportional. All men and women citi-
zens aged twenty years have the right
to vote. The participation of women in
the voting was very active. Having OBJ
tanned our political rights, by the same fact
we have the right to take part in the ad-
ministration of our country.
At this moment, there are seven women
in the national Diet. They have already
obtained law which prohibits selling Of
liquor to municipalities. In the municipal
councils we have several women; in several
localities they are even presidents or vice
presidents of municipal councils.
Aside from this great victory for women,
great work is still in front of US to OBJ
tain a reform of the civil code concerning
married women and mothers. Inasmuch as
Polish women do not possess in all domains
the same rights as men, they are not ceas-
ing their efforts for further equality.

New Republic of
Letvia Speaks
By Madame Anna Kenin

T ETvIA declared itself an independent
IL state on November IS, 1918, when,
thanks to the defeat of Germany and the
downfall of Russia, the Lettish people saw
itself in a position to declare and to assert
its national independence, of which it had
been deprived for centuries.
Lettish men, having been under foreign
rule and oppression, were almost as far
removed from legislative and administra-
tive affairs Of the country as were the wom-
en-. The two sexes had been obliged to work
together in national organizations, created
either to preserve and to develop the ma
tional culture of the people, or to struggle
to obtain its independence. Therefore, hav-
lug thus struggled together, having thus
worked and suffered together, at the moment
of making a constitution for the Lett
state, there never was a question of de-
priving women Of political rights. And it

whose dusky skin is unmarked by time ard

DOLAND is represented by Marie Do
licka. The representative the Polish
Government intended sending to the Geneva
convention could not leave Warsaw. And
the foreign Office sent insistent wires to
Berne, directing the Polish minister there
to send some one. 1t so happened that
Maria Dolicka had just arrived after
hectic journey from Warsaw to be secre-
tary of the Polish Press Bureau in Switzer-
land. This position makes her a member Of
the foreign Office staff in its diplomatic
service. She hadn't even unpacked her bags
and took the next train to Geneva, bringing
tidings direct from Poland. She is a little
woman, showing the privations Of war and
of her journey, and is a graduate OF the
University of Warsaw.
Madame Anna Kenin is another stanch
patriot from one of the new nations. AND
no one is working harder for the recognition
of Letvia, comprising less than 3,Ooo,ooo
inhabitants, than Madame Kenin. Wife OF
the Lettish minister to Poland, she is
serving independently in Letyia's diplo-
matte service and is connected with the
legation in Paris. She was at the Geneva
congress as official representative Of her
government. But her political activities go
further back than the present. As early as
1915, in a conference of nationalities
struggling for existence, which was held in
Lausanne Madame Kenin made a stirring
plea for her nation, once a part of vast
Russia. She has also served as represen-
tative of her country in Stockholm.

CzeChO- -SlOvakia
Grants Rights
By FrdnteSka PLaminkoua

THE position Of women in the Czecho-
L SIovak republic today in respect Of
political rights may be regarded as the
realization of the boldest hopes of those who
have labored for the civic rights Of woman
and of the hopes of all who have desired to
see civic equality forming the basis of the
state. Since the war ended women have
been placed on complete equality Of rights
with men; all differences Of class and stand
ing have vanished so far as concerns the
political rights Of citizens Of the republic.
There are few places in the whole world
where such a radical change has already
taken place in the position of women with
regard to political rights.
In the sittings of Parliament women were
successful exponcnts Of their own views and
the views Of the parties to which they be-
longed; they presented bills and FREQUENT
successes attended their efforts To men
ton only one or two points: Women pro-
posed plans for the betterment of the socisl
conditions of students; for the taking over
by the state schools and places of education
hitherto conducted by monssteries converts
or other church organizations; for placing
girls middle schools under state control for
converting into state institutions, re-
organizing and extending. women's tech
nical and industrial schools and schools Of
domestic economy; for establishing central
refugees for children and childrens homes !;
for introducing day instruction in apprentice
schools; for prohibiting evening and Sunday
instruction; and for regulating the legal
position and the conditions of advancement
of women teachers in the national schools.
In June, 1919, the first elections took
place-the elections to local and municipal
bodies. They took place according to the
system of fixed lists Of candidates-that is
to say, the names of the candidates are
arranged in a certain order by the political
parties on lists which 1t is not allowed after
ward to alter. The executive committees Of
the parties have thus the power, according
to whether their standpoint toward women
is progressive one or not, to place WON
ems names in such a position on the list

Frau Adela Schrieber Krieger is white

her most important work has been for the

is since the very beginning of the orgsniza-
ton of the Lett state that women have
taken part in the labors Of the national
council, as we'll as in the municipal coun-
ellis.
However, neither in 1918 nor in 1919
could regular elections take place every
where, because large part of the territory
was invaded, on one side by German armies,
on the other side by Bolshevist troops.
1t is only at the beginning of this year,
the country having definitely rid itself of all
its enemies, that elections in proper fashion
were held-with universal suffrage, direct
and proportional-for officers of municipal
tiles, and for members to the constitutional
assembly, which is now sitting at Riga.

of twenty -one years voted equally, and the

Wherein has her sex disqualified the In
dian woman, or disinherited her, from the
rich honors she has earned in equal emula-
tion and comradeship with her brother In
every field of intellectual or patriotic en-
deavor?
In our older universities she has won

holds Office in the courts and senates Of our
younger universities, like the Hindu Uni
versity Of Benares and the Women's Uni

versity, as also in the Bombay University.
She has evinced her creative talent in
literature and music; she has proved her
consummate tact and resource in admin
istering vast properties and intricate affairs,
and demonstrated beyond all question her
marvellous capacity to organize and sustain
great educational institutions and large
phllanthropic missions for social service.
Moreover, not only has she participated
in the programs of our great periodic ma
tional assemblies, but has not infrequently
been called upon to guide their deliberations,
direct their policies, harmonic their differ
ences, and unite their ideals toward a com
mon goal Of self realization.
