EGGS STILL THROWN AT ENGLISH SPEAKERS
Women Fear Rostrum When Au-
 diences Grow Angry

CHICAGO, April 9. - Sir Arthur Conan Doyle told the American peo- pie several years ago that EnSlands militant suffragists, who were then fighting for the ballot by violence and petty sabotage. were in for some lynching parties. The British public once aroused, Sir Arthur claimed, was no respecter of sex.
 The lynchings never materialized and the British women obtained the vote, but the British public has prov en that it has no particular respect for sex even if it doesn't go as far as to lynch its suffragists.
 Barrages of rotten eggs, at political meetings, such as Lloyd George re- gently faced during an address to students al Ednburg, are still very much favored, and women, accord ing to the popular conception or the sport are fair game when they seek to usurp the speaking platform. This playful little habit, combined with the natural shyness of the so-called weaker sex, has handicapped the women of Britain in their attempt to take as prominent part In theF notifies as American women have dver here. according to Mrs. Oliver Strachey, who is accompahyins LoIu Robert Cecil on his speaking tour of the League of Nations.
 Mrs Strachey was Lady Nancy As tors nolitical manager. She Is sis- ter-in-law of Lytton Strachey, the author, and a cousin of John St: Loe Strachev. author and editor of the London spectator. Her ancestry Is American and there a great many things American she prefers to simi- lar things English She admitted 8 profound detestation of eggs
 "The tendency of British audiences to throw rotten eggs is most unfor- la, tntnrNiPW day. "The only way for us seems to he bouse-to- o-house canvassing."
