The Matter Of Area .,"
Fully as important as the matter Of

amount to practical confiscation. Well, tho
City of Philadelphia did some confiscating Of
this sort in 1854 and the city now Is not
only glad but proud that 1t was done, al

The Regulations Of Use

A NATIONAL EVENT

TIME annual exhibition of paintings and
i sculpture at the Academy of the Fine
Arts Is a national event Of significance in
the artistic world. Painters from all parts
Of the country send their best work. De-
ecriptions of the exhibition are printed in
the artistic periodicals of the country and
in the daily newspapers of other cities.
Nearness to an event sometimes blinds
one to its significance. Yet it ought not to
do so. The exhibition affords to those in.

the most distinguished men and women now

WOMEN PLAN
: CA|MPA|C To
GET NEW LAWS
legislative Department Plans
Program Of Activity in
Forty-eight States.

A series Of "best laws" dealing
with all women's subjects is being
drafted by the legislative depart.
ment of the National Woman's
Party, II was announced today.
These laws, which deal with mar
riage, divorce, guardianship Of chill
dren, married women's property
rights, jury service. and women
in industry. will be presented to
all State legislatures,
The entire series, which has been
compiled from actual statutes now
in force. will be passed upon by
the conference of State and ma
tional officers Of the party here
on November IL and IL. II in.
dorsed the State branches Of the
party will wage an active campaign
to bring about quick action by the
various State legislatures.
Discussing the plan, Miss Maude
Younger. legislative chairman OF
the Woman's party. said today:
THE idea is to make our cam.
paign not only a negative one,
removing determinations against
women from our law. but also a
positive one, substituting the high.
est form of equality.
For instance, one of the best
laws on illegitimacy Is that of
North Dakota, where illegitimacy
has been abolished. Louisiana has
the best law on support, and Ohio
the best on alimony, providing that
husband or wife may receive ALI
mony from the other. In some
States laws regulating industry pro.
vide equal protection for men and
women workers and are. therefore.
to be preferred to laws that merely
regulate women. Such laws have
the advantage Of being already on
the statute books. enforced, and in.
terpreted by the courts. There
should. therefore. be no difficulty
In having them passed by other
States"
The campaign Will be waged in
forty-two States, It was announced.

Earth Is Older Than

49,. OF Scientist
BY International News Service.

LONDON, Oct. 3O.-That the
earth is older than the present
structure of the universe, as
now constituted, is the theory
held by Prof. A. w Bickerton,
the originator of the theory Of
the birth of stellar systems and
the writer Of innumerable books
about the third bodies" born
in space by grazing impacts.
Lecturing before the Royal
Botanical Society, he said that
he was strongly inclined to be-
lieve that the earth was much
older than the sun and much
older than the present struc-
ture of the universe. -
"In my opinions, said PROF..
Bickerton, "the sun originated
in a collision between two other
previously existing bodies, one
of which had an enormous num-.
ber of meteors, planets and
other bodies revolving around
it. / think that sunspots are
probably caused by meteors
striking the surface Of the sum-"
