BRITISH WOMEN READY
 TO FIGHT FOR RIGHTS
Feminist Leaders Suspicion Hoaxing
 By Men

LONDON, August 31.-(By Asso- ciated Press. )-That women have been deliberately hoaxed by men law makers is the deepening suspicion of feminist leaders In England. So strong Is the feeling that deputation rep resenting the principal organizations of women throughout the country IS to wait upon the Home Secretary to urge amendment of the sex disquali- fication removal act.
 In the opening sentence of the act 1t is laid down that a person shall not be disqualified by sex or marriage from the exerciselof any public func- tion. It Is now clear, say the fem inists, 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, rightly or wrongly, Is regarded by most Eng fish people as a penalty rather than a privilege of equal citizenship. Fur ther women have been admitted as lawyers, but this is because the legal societies have accepted the spirit of the act and have not chosen to chal- lenge its 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 equal ity of opportunity in the civil serv. ice, and it does not safeguard the po- sltion 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 ser wants from dismissal on account ot marriage. It does not secure admis- sion for women to the universities on equal terms with men, and 1t does not permit women, otherwise quail fiedfi to sit in the House of Lords.

When Birminghams city market is opened, the electrical equipment and fixtures will be one of the most inn posing sights, according to the Bagby Elevator and Electrical com pany, 1916 Fourth avenue, who had charge of the installation of all electrical appliances used in the new building.
 A 3,000-pound Warner freight ele- vator from the basement to the first floor has been installed for the con- venience of the stall occupants. This is the latest type elevator on the market and has capacity to serve the entire needs of the market men dur ing any rush period. The elevator has a connecting door with the alley, where all produce and merchandise can be readily transferred to the cold storage rooms and the market floor.
 Above each of the stalls there has been hung a Duplex-llte. This has . frosted base, which gives an in- verted light from large candle power light within. This model light is one of the most popular in use today, where the need Of light with little glare is required. Each indi- vidual light is connected with a separate switch and meter for the proprietor of the stalls.

ICE AS aDRY GOODS"

The ice with which we temper our summer heat was luxury unknown to our not very distant forbears. The first person to think of importing ice in summer brought over a cargo of 900 tons in 1922, but hardly found the experiment successful. The GUS toms officials were puzzled to know under what classification to levy duty upon the cargo, and by the time they had decided to charge it up as "dry goods" almost the whole con- signment had melted. = Toronto Globe,
