Abbey Becomes Shrine.
Westminster Abbey Is coming moro
Ind more 10 be regarded as a shrine.
not only by tho British subjects of
the seven seas. but also by thousands
of American tourists. While II ~ i'm
possible 10 estimate the number Of
visitors realistically the vergers and
other functionaries who watch the
conings and COINS OF the throngs, de-
clare there were vastly more Amerl-
lean visitors 10 the historic ediflce
last summer than ever before.
A. all times, when the abbey is open
to tho public great silent crowds with !
uncovered heads can be seen about
ths grave reading the inscription
which tells the tale OF the great host I
Of British Tommies who made the
supreme sacrifice.

How VIII the United Kingdoms g. |
600 900 women voters cast their bal. /
let's? This custom IN pulling many /
astuts politicians and the leaders Of
tho unlonir, liberal, labor and other
parties are seeking the answer Mean
while, all are seeking 10 bring the
women 10 their respective political
folds and making counter claims ~
to how many Of these votes they
are assured.
THE trouble with the average Brit.
fish middle class woman is that she
IL too ignorant politically, and today
che forms a big percentage Of our
voterg," declared Dr. Marion Phil
lips, head organizer OF the womsn's
section 81 the labor party, IN com
menting on this point.
AS women only above 30 years, or
property owners are allowed TO vote at
present. they are mostly married.
However, the labor women arc more L
Intelligent and won't vote as do their
husbands"
Asked, II there was possibility OF
a woman being chosen member OF
the new cabinet. as a result Of the
general elections. DR., Phillips said;
We haven't many women with the
necessary political experience. So far.
We have but two In parliament, or
whom one, Lady Aston. Is surely not
fitted for any such responsible posi-
ton.
THE British labor party Is making
great efforts to educate and to get the
women's vote In this election. | have
10 doubt We shall surprise some OF
the parties which hope to make the
women vote the same way as their
hunsbands."
