 Miss Martin is at the National Arts Club. After s,a serying Nn1sds sirne snfe frage Association she became char man of the National Women's party and was the first woman holiiiiia'eu for United States senator; sou
 Tn Europe where she lectured TOT nearIv a year. Miss Martin met the leading members of her own sex Tn all the countries she V1slted-GeE many, Italy, France and Englaha. 1o The English women impressed her most because the militants and the conservatives, bitterly opposed durlng the votes for women campaign hdo buried the hatchet and were os now working for the real equality of sexes before the law and for election to or fee of men who recognize this equal tty in their interpretation or the Ia"s'
 Thirty-Seven in Reichstag
 "'There are 37 women in the Relcn- stap in Germany, and whenever question relating to women comes up the men leave it to them to discuss and decide,'' said Miss Martin. Tn England numerous women's organlZa- tions have combined to support fem mine candidates. They have many eouality laws, but the men who 1n- terpret them discriminate against women. The women realize they have got to put women in those offices if they hope to put sex out or poll tics has adopted for Its slogan Three Hundred Women for Parliament, which makes a 50-5O representation Then there is the Women's General Committee, heads of organizations brought together by Lady Astor and representing approximately 1000 OOu women in trades and professions church and reform movements, Whe are indorsing candidates
 Parties Should DiState
 'sThat is what we should do here The League of Women Voters and the National Woman's Party, which dur ing the suffrage campaign represent ed the conservative and the militant wings of the movement, should CO operate They should let the two big parties select qualified women fol political offices and then the womeT voters should go to these candidate: and ask them if they stand for wom en first. If they do, let the womeI voters pledge their support during th' campaign. Both these big organiza tions have branches in every state They could work for a half share O representation not only in Congress but in the state legislatures.
 '1n England they are developing this sense of equality and solidarit! of sex more than here. The Eng1isl women are, perhaps, going to show u the way to get equality.

asphalt shingles and roll roofngs contribute greatly towards the ending of this waste, and in two ways: one, by decreasing the use of wood; two, by making it more difficult for fire to destroy wooden buildings. While the substitution of these permanent materials for the more impermanent and more easily destroyed wood has been of amazing growth in the last decade, experts agree that it has not reached the point where it has checked the destruction of the for ests. They say it must reach that

 It was with this in mind that Mir.

 The President will take no more steps in the rail or coal srtfkes until he has received from the railway ex- ecutives and the railway unions on Saturday the answer to his latest pro posal Both sides meet on Friday, and every indication points to a rejec- tion of his appeal by either one or both parties to the controversy

 If after receiving the expected re- jection of his latest proposals, PresI- dent Harding definitely decides to go to Congress. it is believed he Will ask for two things.
 l. A specific grant of authority for the executiveto take over those roads unable to discharge their public opIl- gations, and sufficient mines to insur' the country against freezing. 2.

 Friday Is Awaited.
 Washington, Aug. e-The rail strike situation appeared destined to mark time until next Friday, although ex- ecutives of the striking shop craft unions were in Washington today to consider President Hardfng's second proposal for voluntary termination of the wa1kout.
 Shop craft federation leaders here have stated that the reply to the Presidents communication proposing reference of the seniority issue to the Railroad Labor Board for decision would be submitted to the general conference of railroad labor heads here Friday before it was sent to the White House. As the railway exec utives also will meet that day in New York to draft their answer to the ad- mtnistration plan, active developments in tho situation before the end of the week were improbable.
 Rejection of the administration plan by the workers is generally accepted as certain. Forecasts as to the course of the homogeneous are not to defi- mite, but 1t was apparently in artici- patton of 8 second failure to bring the two sides to an agreement that would rsetore full transportation fa- cilities that MT.
