Not long ago I was telling my small
niece about certain changes which had
occurred since l was little girl OF her
age:
Said I: when was little girl. only
n very few people had telephones There
was only one in all our ncighborhood
and when We played at that little girls
house we used to 60 and look at 1t be-
cause We had never seen one anywhere
else"
'1ut Now Did They Gail Up7
Said She But how did you call up II
you didn't have any telephones"
l thought Of that conversation the
other day when millions of American
women were going 10 the polls to cast
their first vote for President.
Such lot OF talk and excitement
about it, such lot OF jesting. 50 many
thrills as the simple act that means so
much was performed for the first time
by women who had worked year 10 have
the right to make those little black
crosses: so much tain after the election
about the woman'S vote. and what II did
and didn't do-and surely before my lit
tie niece has a niece of her own. il Will
all have become such Il matter OF course
that II will be hard to believe that Il
democratic country ever limited the vote
TO half its adult citizens.

That principle should be eStablShch

1T was to the poignant regret OF INC
Japanese government and people that
the original trainers Of the covenant
found themselves unable to accept the
Japanese proposal in this matter. Tn,
Japanese delegates declared they would

I'm view, however. Of the present cir

consolidation Of its organization ana lts
actual working. based on the present

attention and deeper delibcration than
