FEMINIST MOVEMENT
 FURTHERED IN PERU.
Organization Formed for First
 Time in Country's History

Lima. Peru. April 27,-For the first time in the history of Peru q representative group of women has formed permanent organization to further the feminist movement in the republic.
 Lima has been entertaining Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, the well-know, American suffrage leader, In series of lectures, one of which wave given in the historic University of San Mar cos, she has been able to reach large part of the intelligent women of th, different social classes. As result of these meetings there has been organiz- ed a body to be known as the Nation al Council of Women" which draws its membership from the higher and middle classes of society.
 Little definite progress had been made in the woman's movement ip Peru prior to Mrs. Catis arrival. Sev- eral clubs existed among Peruvian women social, charitable and other wise, but only one to further woman's suffrage. No general organization sim liar to the National Council of Wom- en, however, had been attempted, as women are not organized for cam paign purposes in South America.
 No immediate effort will be made to obtain the vote for Peruvian women, a goal which is believed to be many years in the future. The newly organ- iezd council will work first to secure civil rights for women, such as have been conceded ip more progressive countries of the world. Leaders of the movement in Peru recognize that the two greatest obstacles to success are the natural timidity of the aver age Latin American woman. and the marked clevage between the social classes. Until social lines are less emphasized, 1t will be difficult for the women as a whole to work in har- mony, and progres in the suffra ge movement will be less rapid as con- sequence.

POWER PLANT WILL
 BE WORLDS BIGGEST
ChicasO's New Station Will Have
 s0O,0O0 Horsepower Capacity

Chicago. April 27.---(By the Asso- ciated Pressl engineers the world over arc watching Chicago In hes attempt to rear the largest electric plant in tho world--a station whose ultimate capacity will be ap- proximately 900,000 horse power, or 0o,000 |kilowatts. The largest plant now in operation anywhere has ca pacity rating of 2So,ooo kilowatts.
 To Operate in 1924
 The now goliath, the project of the Commonwealth Edison Company pur- veyor of things electrical to almost the entire Chicago territory, is ex- pected to be in operation by August. 1924. The generating room. which is to house. 10 huge steam turbo-gener- ator units, each capable of producing 10000 and 6o,o00 kilowatts. will be slightly more than 800 feet long, and 125 feet wide. Each generator will produce 60-cycle energy at 12.00o volts. The entire plant, comprising three principal units in addition to the turbine room, will occupy 72 acres of city property. Storage space for S0o,- 900 tons of coal is provided. Fuel re- quirements for the anticipated normal operation, which is expected never to reach capacity, will be about 133 cars of coal daily, or approximately D. 100000 tons year.
 Fuel Economy the Aim
 Economy of fuel was chief aim of the designers. and to what extent their efforts in this direction were success full is indicated by the announcement that the same electrical output under the most efficient operating practice developed 10 years ago would have required close to 3,500,000 tons of coal or so per cent more than will be re- quired in the new giant.
 Availability of super high pressure steam boilers with which to operate the turbo-generators was the princi- pal factor productive of the higher
New Britain herald., 1923-04-27

mechanical efficiency. Tho especially designed steam plant will feed the turbines at 5H pounds to the square inch. which compares with a pres sure of 325 pounds in the local sta- ton of the Commonwealth Edison Company. the largest and generally accepted as the most efficient fuel power producer now in operation. Fifty boilers, five to each generating unit, make up the energy center. Five steel smoke stacks, 19 feet in diameter and 175 feet high will carry off the smoke from their unsuitable threats.
 Primary Feed Cables
 Still another superlative appendage of the new plant will be its primary feed cables to other generating sta- tions, designed to facilitate the switch ing of loads during abnormal peak; drag periods at the smaller plants. These cables 10 in number, and en- tirely underground will be operated at 3s.ooo volts. to four small power houses.

PROGRESS REPORTED. IN FIGHT FOR VOTE
Women in India Are Active in
 Country's Politics

Colombo, ceyion, April 25 (By tbs Associated Press)--The -spolitical an. tivities of the women of ceylon and south India are recounted and dis cussed by Mrs. Dorothy Jinarajadasa Tn a recent number of The saree, a new Ceylonese journal. In 1918 writes Mrs. Jinarajadasa, the Indian National congress passed a resolution calling upon the Sonthborough com mittee to enfranchise women on the same terms as men. This marked the beginning of the woman suffra gc movement in India and Ceylon.
 Could Not Recommend Inclusion
 Lord Southborough said he could not recommend the inclusion of wo- men because he thought it would be premature, but he admitted that he considered there had been demand. Thereupon deputation, of. women went over to England. We sent two of our members from Bombay to go and speak to the members of the House of Commons, but the women of India did not get the vote of the legislative council. The women realized then that they had to work, oHu " iidu uCcu u tTciilcIuOuSly uSe- full thing for them to have to or gantze themselves.
 "Women have taken a great part in the non-co-operation movement, which has brought men and women together, working side by side. The women want education, and are keen on 1t. A number of colleges and uni versailles for women havebeen or ganized.
 'As soon as the bill was passed giv- ing women the possibility of the vote, we immediately set to work. It was a very interesting campaign and it was successful.
 Resolution Passed Unanimously
 Our resolution was passed unani- mously, and throughout the whole of south India we now have the vote on the same terms as men. The same is the case In the Bombay presidency. in Travancore and in Mysore, where women can also be elected as coun- cillors. Campaigns in Bengal and Behar have resulted in women getting the municipal vote. There are women municipal councillors in Ma dras. In Burma, a country very nearly related to Ceylon, we shall soon have Buddhist woman in the council"
