Women Free in India.

ONE of the popular views regard
was rudely overturned by Mrs.
Hcrabai Tata. recently secretary OF
tho Women's India Association. when
she declared in London that the
women of her nrtion had never been
tho down -trodden creatures" conf
monty imagined. Mrs. Tata ampliiied
her statement by explaining that from
time immemorial the powers of the
Indian women in the home had been
practically unlimited, while In the VII
lage councilssand even in State affairs
they had enjoyed considerable infiu-
ence. She added. however, that per-
haps tho most promising feature OF
the social and political renaissance off
modern India was the unusually rapid
growth of the women's movement
When the struggle that has been
waged for years by the women OF the
western world TO obtain their fran
chise is recalled this statement as-
sumes unusual interest. particularly
when some of the more recent facts
concerning woman suffrage in the
"unchanging" East are reviewed. .

= EVERAL hundred men and
women are crossing the Conti-

pilgrimage.
They started from United States
Government offices in Washington, d.
c.. from the leading colleges and voca-
tional training schools, from important
publishing houses and from head
quarters OF national welfare associa-
tions. Their ranks include experts
from almost every profession inter-
ested in improving living conditions
and raising health standards.
Their brief cases are overflowins
with the latest findings in domestic
science. in nutrition and in public
health. Their brains are crammed
with statistics and theories.
They are trekking to Corvallis, Ore,
where they will. convene in the fif-
teenth annual meeting Of the American
Home Economics Association, at the
Oregon Agricultural College, August
l to 5, inclusive.
There they plan to confer long and
earnestly on balanced rations, caiories
and nutrition. They hope to give a
stiff jolt to old III. G. of L., perhaps
even to track that fourth vitamine to
his lair.
What will really happen is some
thing like this. At times they will

the economical housewife can detect
tracts of tin in silk stockings. Stats
tics will lose their charm. Wise theo-
ries will sound empty. The convention
hall, with its decorations, its imposing
officials, its nationally exploited au-
thorities will fail to hold them. And
one by one those delegates and ex-
perts will slip out of the convention
hall, cross the emerald campus apd
knock at the door of an unpretentious
shrine of Alice Lu.
For Alice Lu, aged years and few
weeks, personifies the great reason for
the study of home economics. With
out the Alice Lus Of the world, men
would not support homes, and women
would not find home making a salts

Among other features Of this Oregon
institution which will interest Eastern
delegates is the tea room. This seats
300 patrons and occupies the top floor
of the Home Economics Building. Dur

nearly four thousand students are
working under a faculty Of some 24O

and individuals who wish to entertain.
The equipment Of its kitchens, from
mixers to ovens, is electrical, as the

that practice baby should be in

making Germany pay 1.-The full pound
Of flesh; many newspapers in many
countries share the blame of bolstering
UP popular ignorance and passion by
asserting constantly that Germany
was immensely rich, lightly taxed and
we'll able to fulfill the treaty obliga-
tions in money payments to all her
former enemies. -
Now France and the rest Of the
world see by the devastating collapse
Of the German mark, by the actual
bankruptcy of Germany, that all these
hopes and arguments were based on
sheer economic nonsense. The Repa-
rations Commission no longer hides it's
definite conviction that Germany has
come to the end of her resources and
that a moratorium or suspension Of
payments must be granted under
certain drastic conditions. France is
utterly disillusioned and exceedingly
alarmed. She admits at last that her
calculations are unsound; that her
financial state is desperate, because
1t Is based on German gold which did
not exist.
It Is no use dodging any longer the
plain, unpopular facts about Germany

Rules ADOPTED for Safety
Measures by Railroads

The railroads have formulated rules
for their employees to eliminate dan
ger on the railway tracks in the vicln-
ity of crossings.
These rules prescribe that two long
sounds and two short sounds of the
locomotive whistle shall be sounded
approaching public crossings at grade.
The duration Of each blast and the
time intervals between sounds are not
specified, but the sound Of the whistle
should be distinct, with intensity and
duration sufficient to convey the nee
essary warning.
The engine bell must be rung on
approaching every public road cross
and the whistle must be sounded at
each whistling post.
The unnecessary use of either the
whistle or bell is prohibited. They
will be used only as prescribed by rule
or law or to prevent accident.
AS Is per cent. of all crossing acci-
dents involve shifting movements, the
railroad demands the enforcement Of
the rule that when a train Is shifting
over crossing where there Is no
watchman trainman must be sta
toned on the crossing TO give warn
ing TO persons using same.
Mr.. Wells was at the commence
ment of the electrification of the Long
Island Railroad, over seventeen years
ago, impressed by the necessity Of
safeguarding employees in their work
OF maintaining the electrical lines and
equipment. He became convinced that
1t was the function of the employer
to provide all possible safeguards for
the workmen and not leave the pro-
vision to the judgment of the indi-
vidual. Stringent rules and regila-
tions for tho maintenance and opera

LONDON, July 22.--It is perhaps a
little cruel and insolent to say we are
dismayed and surprised at the down.

ity to make further reparations pay
ments merely because 1t reveals the
stupendous folly OF European poll
ticians and peoples. There is no justi-
fication to that surprise. For years
1t has been perfectly clear to minds
which regarded economic laws OF life
without illusion that the scale and
system Of payments imposed on Ger
many by the Versailles treaty were
impossible Of fulfillment, and that an
attempt at fulhllment would not only
drag Germany to ruin but would pre-
vent the recovery of Europe as a
whole.

self-evident truth were denounced as

All efforts to tranquilize the Euro

nations by stabilizing exchange, were
frustrated by the fury OF political pas

popular mind.
1t was not only France that insisted
on the inviolability Of the Versailles
treaty upon the false assertion that
Germany could and should pay for all
war costs, all pensions and all losses OF
ill the nations engaged in the great
war against her. That view was sup

opinion Of Great Britain and the Brit
