American women will be surprised to
learn, on the authority of NJ. La
brousse, a French senator. that It was
to throw off 'the brutal yoke of their
husbands" that they set out to win
the right to vote.
As the French woman, in common
with the women OF all Latin countries.
has no such fight to make, feminine
suffrnsn IS not needed, said Senator
L~abrousse explaining why he opposed
the hir calling for tho senate's an.
provai of the measure which has
passed the lower house OF the French

senate.
ut Is stated that twenty.four ma.
lions have adopted women suffrage"
said the senator. Latin nations are
behind in this respect. That Is 70.
Why are h Latin nations behind the
rest. Because the Latin woman.
more honored than her Angio-saxon
sister. does not have to throw off the
brutal yoke OF tho husbands of the
