WOMEN OF OLD ROME
 SLAVES TO FASHIONS
Used More Paint and Powder
 Than Those of Today

Fayetteville. Ark. March 21-ThoSe who have reform of women of today as an objective will receive some dis couragement when they come to real ize that if feminine foibles and foIlies are not eternal they at least date back to the grandeur that was Rome.'
 All that is brought out in in a course on Roman life and customs to be giv- en in the University of Arkansas in the Spring term by Prof. H. H. Strauss. head of the department of ancient languages. The ancient wom- an was as lavish in her following of the fashions of her day as the modern woman She was extravag gant in her expenditures for clothes and she as thoroughly enjoyed being we'll dress ed.
 Not only did the woman of an- cient Rome indulge in all of the ex- travagance of dress that the modern woman does. but she also took the same interest in politics. said Prof. Strauss. Although she was not allow ed to vote or to hold office, she led a strong political life and wielded a pow erful influence. Roman women often made or broke men. They campaign ed for their favorite candidate. and tablets which have been found stat ing that such and such a woman urg- cd you to vote for this or that candi- date show what methods they used
 The woman of Rome made an even freer use of cosmetics than does the woman of today. She had her rouge, which she used abundantIy, her lip sticks, her powders, her cream for wrinkles and her perfume. which often came from the Orient and for which she paid almost fabulous sums. Styles in dressing the hair were no more conservative than now, and it is strange to note the striking resem- blance between the Roman styles of hair dressing and those of today.
 ''They even had an arrangement closely approaching the ear puffs, which the 'Eapper' of 1921 affects. The most favored style seemed to be- a formidable pompadour. which was varied, according to the prevailing mode, with all kinds of intricate and elaborate arrangements of curls. puffs and braids. False hair was used to a large extent, and there was no scruple against using dye to restore graying hair
 And did milady of Rome have jewels? Indeed she did, and rings in different styles for summer and win- ter; bracelets, armlets. earrings, and vanity cases set with diamonds, pearls. emerolds, which judging from their price, outshone anything of this age.
 '-The Roman woman's shoes were aI>o ornamented with jewels, and her hsir nets made of fine gold. cost a small fortune"

JAP WOMEN MAY RE
 ALLOWED TO VOTE
Bill Favorable Be Allowed
 to Share Political Problems

Tokio, March 21.-"Japanese wom- en are beginning to awake to their real position declared Representa- tive Ichinomiya in the Diet while fa- voring the bill to abolish the law which prevents women from attend ing political meetings or joining po- htical associations. The measure which was supported by members of all parties in the house is regarded as an important step in the emanci- patton of Japanese women. Socialism and woman's suffrage continued Representative Ichinomiya, who belongs to the governmental Seiyukai party, constitute the two great streams of the worldwide so- cial movement. The women of Ja- pan are coming into contact with the broad current of international thought. It is quite natural nd right that the fair sex should, under these circumstances, aspire to share with men, political privileges.
 The women are now allowed to discuss and read journals and books dealing with political problems, and yet they are denied the right to at tend political meetings. This is at once absurd and unwise, and if the government does not make way for the natural cIa1m or lne women the time may come when the authorities may find themselves forced to do so through the ever-growfng pressure of the progressive umes.'
 Representative Matsumoto, inde- pendent, was another warm advocate of the proposed change. ''In giving the 30.000,000 women of Japan" he said, "a chance of acquiring political knowledge the government will take a broad stride towards real, national development. Women should not only be admitted into public meetings of political significance, but should also be entitled to the right of or ganizing political bodies of their own if occasion requires. The self-awaken- ing of the fair sex is fact that can not be gainsaid. Society has attained such a marked advancement that without political knowledge and com- prehension, no women can be conn petent wives and mothers in the fu- ture."
 Not only should the objectionable regulation be abolished in the opin- ion of Representative Koyama of the Kenseikai opposition party, but the law forbidding laborers to organize unions should be done away with. ''The time has passed" emphasized the speaker, when women and la borers can be pressed down with inn punity."
 A committee is now considering the women's bill.

AGREEMENTS MOST
 IMPORTANT FACTOR
This Railroad Problem Greatest
 Facing Country

Chicago. Mar. 21.--The question of national agreements between rail- roads and their employees is the most serious question confronting the Am- erican people today ". w. Atterbury, viee-president of the Pennsylvania lines roll the railroad labor board today during the third day of cross examination of high railway officials by Frank r. walsh. labor union at- torney.
 Mfr. Aktersury charged that the aa- tional agreements were foisted on the roads without any attempt at con- ference, sand that labor leaders re- fused to allow employers to confer with railroad oficials over the agree ments
 His statements were contained in prepared document which he read during his examination.
 Question of Mfr. Atterbury also re- vealed for the first time that T. De- witt Cuyldr. chairman of the as- sociation of railroad executives had suggested last August that the time probably had come when com- promise might commend itself to the labor board" and that perhaps the railroads would propose regional boards of adjustmen, if the roads touio HoI arrive at any agreement with employees for local boards.
 This suggestion was contained in a letter from MT. Cuyler to MT. Att terbury which was read into the rec ord.
 We have come to the parting of fhe ways, Mir. Atterbury's statement on national agreements said. ''One road leads to government ownership. naturalization. Plumb piannisn1 and syndicalism-the other road to in- dustrial peace and the continuation Of that individual initiative energy and responsibility which ts peculiarly American.
 "The issue is in the hands of the labor board" the sign board on one roai is: National agreements" the sign board on the other road is: "Ne- gotiate directly with your own em- ployee"
 The national agreements were su- perimposed on the railroads by coer- cion under federal administration and became a heritage of private man. agemcnt."
