and that the paper money of
the allied nations is barely
worth the parchment on which
it is enscroled, or stamped,
and that the allied nations can
not pay to us ten billion dollars
in twenty-five years, signifies
but one thing, namely, that the

seems that the action of France

BY an order issued today, the Inter-

evidence and the recons nsideration of
arguments. The hearing will be held
in Washington.
In it's original decision, the COM
mission held that mines furnishing
railroad fuel could no longer be given
a special car supply in times of car
shortage. Further. the commission
declared that the cars owned by the
coal mines or by coal consumers
could be restricted to the service OF
their owners during car shortages.
A number OF public utilities and
industrial corporations fAed petitions

WOMEN's FIGHT A LONG ONE.

More Than Century Ago.

Carrie Chapman Gait in Current History.
In the United States woman's
struggle for educational equality be-
gan about 1900, and the recognition
of the right to equal educational op-
portunity may be said to have been
fully conceded by 1870, when facili-
ties for advanced education were
very generally opened to girls. The

lie may be considered q 5 firmly estab-
lished in 1850. Mobs supplied with
decayed eggs and cabhages disturb
ed women's meetings after that date,
but the tide had distinctly turned,
and the intelligence OF the country
had been convinced.
The contention that married women
should possess the right to make a
will was over in the United States by
1910, and that they should be given
the right to control their own prop
erty was conceded in 1852. although
not every state had yet amended its
law. Although scattered remains of
old laws overlooked and usually for

hind northern and western states in

rights was closed fifty years ago.
There followed the campaigns for

though neither movement is quite
complete. negligent states in the
south still withstanding the appeal,
both were generally victorious twenty
years ago.
A campaign for school suffrage be-
gan earnestly about 1875 and was
virtually closed about 1890. The first
state to grant full suffrage was~Wy-

TAX EXEMPT BOND BOOM.
Extravaganza Encouraged by Loose
Sale of These Securities.

Edwin Lefevre in the Saturday Evening Post.
+. There are between eleven and
twelve billions of dollars invested in
United States issues as are partly
exempt. This is about two and one
half times as much as was invested
in such securities ten years ago.
Municipal bonds are coming out at
the rate of considerably in excess of
one-thousand million dollars a year,
and in addition large amounts of
farm loan bonds are also being is
sued. On the income from these no
principal purchasers are precisely
those very men whose incomes it was
chiefly desired to tax,
You cannot blame anybody for buy
ing bonds which not only are safe,
but will yield a bigger net income to
road or industrial bonds or mort
cages on which he would lose from
25 to 60 per cent of the yield in
taxes.
If the law. should be changed and
no more tax exempt bonds issued,
then the states, counties, cities and
villages would have to pay a higher
rate of interest on what money they
borrowed for improvem ents, and that
would mean higher local taxes. And

property would have to pay the differ
ence.
On the other hand, if nothing is
done to check investment in tax-ex-
empt bonds. the federal government
and those states which have an in
come tax will receive less revenue
than they are really entitled to from
incomes.
A particularly bad feature is that,
owing to the demand for tax exempt
bonds. dealers who specialize in such
issues are going about encouraging
villages and counties to issue bonds
for roads, school and other improve
ments, whether these are really need

STAR PUZZLES ASTRONOMERS.
RT Serpentis, First Observed in
1909, Does Not Fade or Vary.
From Science Service.

From Science Hervlce
The remarkable new star in the
constellation of the Serpent. which
unexpectedly rose. from ooscurit9
fourteen years ago, still maintains ITS
brightness and thereby justifies for
it the title of the only genuine ne"
graphs recently made at the Harvard
College Observatory here. The stars
ordinarily called new by astrono-
mers are really but temporary aHairs
that fade away rapidly within a rev
days or weeks after their sudden ap-
pearance.
This interesting subject. which has
been given the name RT Serpentis,
was originally discovered by an as
tronomer. at Heidenberg. and later
quite Independently at the ierkes
observatory in Wisconsin. 1t was.
however. on record earlier. for sub
seauent examination of the store OF
celestial photographs at Harvard
showed the star coming out OF dark
ness nearly year before its dis
coyery by the German astronomer.
For twenty years before that time
the Harvard plates give no trace of il.
RT Serpentis was first classed as
one of the Novae, or new stars.
as all of them have done in the past.
But this object proved to be an eX-
ceptional phenomenon. 1t has now
maintained it's maximum brightness
at the tenth magnitude for thirteen
years Measures OF the parallax show
that its distance is about 1000 light
years. Scientists have not yet eX-
planned satisfactorily the singular
behavior of RT Serpentis. Three pos
sible interpretations, however. have
ley. director Of the observatory.
Could this actually be a new star
evolving from a non-luminous and
nebulous beginning? A star birth
has indeed never been witnessed. and
it is not known in what manner stars
first become luminous. RT Serpentis
already shows signs in it's spectrum
which indicate that it is well along
in it's life history; but perhaps for
stars of certain size some of the
through with great rapidity, and this
stars birth was actually witnessed
In 1909.
The second suggestion is that RT
Serpentis is only, variable star of
large range in brightness, with a
very long interval of time between
successive appearances. This ex-
PLANTATION would require that sooner
or later the star will again decrease
in brightness, possibly. to return to
its present magnitude in some other
generation.
The third, suggestion proposed, and
the one that DR.. Shapley thinks most
probable, is that RT -Serpentis is an
ordinary unvarying star that has re-
Gently emerged from behind some
obscuring cloud of cosmfc dust. Many
dark nebulous clouds are known to
exist in the Milky Way, some of them
at no great angular distance from
RT Serpentis. Photographs of the re-
gion have been made, and all the
stars nearby have been catalogued.
If at some future time another star
in this region should come or go.
the existence of an obscuring cloud
may be accepted as very probable.

Talk of New Move to Revive Sag

Britain's sagging trade and of reduc-

the sum of 100000, 900 was, said by
Minister of Labor Barlow in speech

Mr. Barlow said that such a scheme

and developments are in sight" The
minister expressed a hope that either
Prime Minister Baldwin or himself
would soon be able to make an an
nouncement on the subject.
Mr. Barlow, however, was appar-
emily mistaken as to the authorship
of the big imitation proposal, as the
Daily Express quotes Mr., Goodenough
as saying:
at never suggested anything of the
kind" The vice chairman of Bar

the suggestion. The real author. ac-
