ENGLISH WOM [ N DETERMINED ON
 DIVORCE RIG H TS
Some Notable Victories For Women Have Already
 Been Gained

LONDON, April 1S.-Since English women were given the vote some notable victories have been gained for causes in which women are par ticularly interested. But there is still much fighting to be done and victories to be gained. their militant leaders say. before they can claim to have won the great contest for equal rights in which they enlisted long ago.
 One of these battles is expected to be fought to a finish in parliament very soon. It's legislative designa- tion is the Matrimonial Causes Bill. and it seeks to amend the existing law of divorce. It aims to give T wife the right to divorce her hus- band on the same ground that he can divorce her.
 As the law stands now in Engla nd the husband can divorce his wife for adultery. But a wife may prove her husband guilty of adultery a dozen times over and she will not stand q ghost of a chance of getting a di- Vorcc, unless she can prove him to have been guilty also of cruelty.
 There are three reasons why this bill should become law" says Mrs. Wintringham, who is supporting the measure in the House of Commons. First. it is only a matter of equity and justice as between husband ana a Wlfe. second, It received tne support of an overwhelming major ity in the House of Commons on the ocea sion of it's second reading, and third, the removal of the inequality is demanded almost universally by the women of this country"
 England lags far behind most civ ilized countries in regard to giving men and women equality of treat ment with regard to divorce. as Mrs. Wintrinsham points out That equal ity is accorded by Austria. Bulgaria, Denmark. Germany, France, Norway, Holland Russia, Sweden and Ruma mia, in most of the British colonies, and in the United States.
 The great support the bill is re- ceiving," adds Mrs. Wintringhani, ''is perhaps due to these facts. First and foremost, we must take account of the power of the Women's vote. Women have only two reprcscnta- tiYes at present who sit in parlia ment, but that by no means is the is vastly greater No party can now afford to disregard women's votes.
 Then it has to be borne in mind that there is a growing tendency to- day to consider the woman's point Of view in all matters rela ting to ques- tions of equality between the sexes. There is evidence also of a growing desire among certain section of the community, both of men and women, that women ,.should rank equally with men in domestic life, and take an equal responsibility"

known as the greatest canoeing country in the United States. The forest is coincident with and over lapped by the Superior state game refuge and is adjacent to the Ontario provincial park and the Ontario game refuge. a game sanctuary of I,Su0, 900 acres.
 At the instigation of the city of Ely, Minn.. which stands at the gate way to the forests, the St Louis county board last year appropriated S160000 for the paved highway, but the bulk of the allotment was con tingent upon an allowance of $50,000 by the federal government, through the forestry service.
 The opposition to the hi ghway has received inducements from orGaniza- tions in almost every state in the Union. They claim they are opposed not only because the fire hazard would be increased by motorists, but that the herds of big game now pro- tected by the game refuge would ba exposed to interruptions tourists. They believe if they can get the gov ernment to withhold it's allotment. the plan for building the highway will be abandoned.
 There are but few roads in the Su- perior national forest. and these have been established by forest patrolmen who have cut trails into the differ ont sections to organize fire fighting stations.
 James Oliver Curwood, the author; Paul E. Riis, chairman of the Amer ican Institute of Park Executives and the American Park society, and Will II. Dilg, president of the Isaac Walton league of America, have taken an active interest in discour- aging the building of the highway.

ACTION TAKEN
AT WOODBRIDGE BROOK
Continued from page y

(Continued from page ID
Immediately taken to have the
dredging operations started.
While the freeholders have at
tributed the overlooking of the
brook to the clogged condition at it's
junction with Woodbridge creek and
also an insufficient culvert under the
Pennsylvania railroad, Charles A.
DeRussy of Woodbridge, informed
the county fathers that the real
cause of the trouble was the dump
Ing of sand and other debris along
the upper stretches of the brook in
the clay bank section, causing It's
course to change.
Mr.. DeRussy pointed out the
necessity of immediate action, a
great many of the cellars being
Hooded, and with no indication of
the water receding Ia the event of
a. heavy freeze. The speaker de-
clared that the matter had laid dor
nant long enough and that tempo-
rary relief from the flooded condi-
ton might be brought about by
clearing the accumulation of debris
under the bridges on Amboy we
nue., Fulton street, School street and
Railway n
The fullest co-opefation was
promised the freeholders by Coun-
Gilman Hoy, representing the town
ship government, and the apparent
seriousness of the situation
prompted the f~reeholders to instruct
Freebooter Haight to investigate the
condition at once and have the
necessary work done as rapidly as
possible.
A complete investigation of the
streams course will be made in an
effort to learn who L. responsible for
diverting the water to a new chan
nell after which the county and
township contemplate the clearing
out of the bed of the stream. The
federal government will also be APP
pealed to in an effort to have the
intersection of the brock and creek
cleared, in order that there will be
no backing up of water from that
point.

SCHOOL COAL
ACTION TAKEN
will Consult With Dealers on
Fuel For Buildings Most
In Need

The question OF obtaining coal for
the various schools of the city was
kone of the questions discussed at
length last night at the meeting of
Ehe Board of Education. Some
weeks ago the board received a
communication from the various
coal dealers urging that the board
purchase soft coai or coke for use
in the schools so that the hard coal
might be distributed to families
who cannot burn the soft variety,
IA report was read by A. Clayton
Clark to the effect that soft coal
can be burned in some OF the
sehoo but not in others. The need
of coal in Schools No. 6, No. 10 and
No. l was said to be so acute that
unless a supply vas forthcoming at
once they would be forced to close.
A further inspection Of the boilers
and schools was decided upon for to-
day by Mr.. Clark and Janiter True
mar Gano. Following the inspec-
fion Mr.. Clark and Mr.. Gano will
consult with the various coal deal
ars concerning a delivery of coal to
the most needy schools.
A.. Clayton Clark and Elizabeth
Oliver were appointed a committee
to prepare resolutions on the death
Zoe the late secretary of the board,

William Sellers stated the need of
Is3ds walks at schools No. 10 and 4
