Sonora de veyra Describes
Status of Women in the
Philippines.

The Filipino woman Is destined to
be in the worlds spotlight more than
ever before as result OF the news just
received by cable from Manila to the
effect that the Philippine senate ha.
passed the equal suffrage bill giving
women full political rights with men.
This would indicate that the Filipino
may beat her American sisters to the
ballot box
The Filiplna has many admirers who
predict she will make good II she gets
the vote, just as she has made good In
the very important role she has oc-
cupied in the family and business life
Of the Philippines ever since the in

SCHOLARS TO GET RECORDS
Attendants Of Welsh Schools and Col
ieoes Will Embark on an In
terestino Experiment.

Wales, through her schools, is about
to launch an experiment. Schools and
colleges have been invited to make
collection Of all the Welsh field, place
and road names, including those OF
lanes, hills, woods, mounds and dykes,
and to mark on the sfx-inch ordnance
map the spots to which the names are
attached.
A fund has been placed at the dis
posal of the Welsh department TO
provide the materials for the records,
which will be collated by the board
Of Celtic studies In connection with
the university of Wales, and deposited
in the Welsh library.
Each school Is recommended to re-
tain duplicate of the record. which
can be added to from time to time.
Space is provided for supplemental
information on such matters as the
existence of rural industries; the
survival Of old or curious customs or
crafts: peculiar words or pronuncia-
tions; local proverbs or quaint say
ings; the use of old agricultural i'm
plements; particulars OF interesting
local characters" who may have
been distinguished by their oddities,
their benefaetions. or their services
during the war.
Though it is Intended for Wales,
there is no reason why q similar
scheme should not be put into force
In the other parts of the United King
dom. The trainers of the scheme have
hit upon a method of making the
teaching Of history and geography
very living thing. of great educational
and national value..-London Mall.

A Filipino who Is doing an impor-

she has visited various cities, speaking

wears, In giving her talks, one of the
beautiful gowns of her home land, q
delicate pineapple fabric, hand-woven
and and-embroidered, shaped like q
gauzy-winged butterfly.
"In many ways the path Of the wo-
men of the Philippines is easy" says
Sonora de Veyra Laws made by her
have combined the best Of American
and Spanish precedents, and she has
come into her own with far less strug-

Spanish sisters. Married women may
hold property in severalty. They are
guardians of their own children. These
are vested rights and cannot be taken
away from her.
professional opportunities are an
good for women as for men in the land
from which I come. The Filipina Is
by custom the dictator in the home.
She is usually the keeper of the family
