lost during 1922 in broken and spoil

British Women Are Ready
 < *f To Eight For Their Rights

Further, women have been admitted as lawyers, but this is because the legal societies have accepted the spirit of the act and have not cho- sen to challenge It's letter. Apart from these points the act, according to it's women critics, has signally failed in some vital particulars.
 The act does not give women equali- ty of opportunity in the Civil Ser vice. and it does not safeguard the position of women public servants. as exemplified in the differentiation be- tween men and women police when. the plea of economy being necessary, most of the latter were dismissed.
 It does not secure women public servants from dismissal on account
 of marriage. It does not secure ad-
 mission of women to the universities on equal terms with. men. and It does not permit women. otherwise quail lied, to sit in the House of Lords

URBANA, Ill.,, Aug. 30. = To prove what he states is the falsity of some of the current beliefs and conclusions as expressed in much of the literature on Abraham Linclon, Dr. D. K. Dodge, of the Department of English, University of Illinois. this school year will conduct a course in Lincoln's letters and speeches. Dr. Dodge is regarded as one of the greatest living authorities on Lincoln.
 ''I expect to show by documentary evidence that Lincoln's famous Get tysburg speech was not scratched on the back of an envelope while he was riding to that famous battle field, but was one of his most care fully prepared speeches and ono upon which he worked about 16 days" Dr. Dodge said in announcing the course. rn9w isa 8e n t1

Globe Doesn't Turn, It Just Shimmies, Scientist Ayers

LONDON. Aug. 30. This old globe of ours is not rotating as a rigid in body in the heavens, but 1t is behaving as if 1t were jelly-like substance, and some parts of its sur face are moving relatively to other parts This startling suggestion Is put forward by Prof. w. de Sitter of tho University of Leyden, in Ma ture. According to the Professor it would follow that the distance between various points on it's sur face is shifting slightly. Wireless time signals exchanged between var ious observatories have shown dis crepancies. reaching on occasions several tenths of a second.
 Similar fluctuations in recent years have been observed on the surface of the moon in fact, soine- thing queer is happening in the solar system, because even the sun seems to have been infected by the new astronomical complaint.

LONDON, Aug. 30-That women have been deliberately hoaxed by men lawmakers is the deepening suspicion of feminist leaders in England So strong is the feeling that deputa- ton representing the principal organ izations of women throughout the country Is to wait upon the Home Secretary to urge amendment of the Sex Disqualification Removal Act.
 In the opening sentence of the act is laid down that person shall not be disqualified by sex lor marriage from the exercise of any public func
 ton. It is now clear, say the femin ists, that whenever 1t is challenged the act fails to secure sex equality It's chief effect has been to enable women to sit on juries which, right i ly or wrongly, is regarded by mos
 English people as a penalty rathe than privilege of equal citizenship

Many Ideas on Lincoln Are
 k Wrong; Claims of Educator

Ill.,, was not lost at all. as It was delivered the next day at Gaiena' Ill. Contemporary newspapers de scribed in detail the meetings at which Lincoln spoke, but it was not then the custom of reporters to at- tempt to quote the speeches and thus it was natural that no record of his remarks are found.
 Just as Washington home paper called him an old fool for signing the United States Constitution, ons Springfield newspapers ridiculec Lincolnss Gettysburg address, refer ring to his gestures as those of 2 clown
 This point is brought out by Dr Dodge to indicate that much of the idealism with which Lincoln is re garded today was absent while ht was President. and added that crit ficism of President Wilson was yer, mild. compared with that whicl Lincoln met"

BIG PICTURE LAST
 TIME AT THE LIBERTY

That Metros presentation of "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, ' the Rex Ingram production adapted for the screen by June Mathis, rivals the greatest theatrical offerings of the legitimate stage, was the opinion of John Calvin, Mayor of Cincinnati, after twice viewing the picture in New York. This screen masterpiece is now showing at the Liberty and is on for the last time tonight.
 'It is the greatest picture 1 have ever seen," declared MT. Calvin. Its dramatic power is something wonder ful and it affected me just as much as though I were witnessing spok- en performance. It stirs the emo. tions and I am not ashamed to say that parts of that picture brought a lump in my throat and tears to my eyes.
 Pictures like "The Four oHrse- men are the greatest kind of adyer. Using to show that the movies are capable of just as wonderful dra matic effects as the speaking stage It shows what tremendous things the Lbig companies of the motion picture industry are doing to advance the standard of pictures"
