PEERESSES BARRED

By the Associated .Press.,

(. LONDON, May %. The fact that
= before many years women will be en-
:, titled to vote in both houses of Parlia-
;ment is deduced from the rejection by
only two votes yesterday in the House
Sof Lords of Lord Astor's private bill
.to enable peeresses in their own right
to sit and vote with British peers.
Even the venerable Lord Salisbury.
speaking for the government, said he
y had decided to vote against the bill
with reluctance. Another govern
ment member, the Earl of Birkenhead,
who described himself as "an unre-
pentant opponent of woman's fran
chise," stated what may be regarded
as the government attitude on the
issue-namely, that such an important
reform could not be. properly dealt
with by a private bill, but should be
brought about with the overdue gen
eral reform of the House of Lords.
Lord Birkenhead said he thought
the present government could not fail
to deal with the reform of the House
of Lords.
:. Astor Cites Parallel.
Ldrd Astor, in moving his bill,
maintained that if women were quail
fled to sit in the House of Commons
and become ministers of the crown,
they surely were fit to sit on the back
benches of the House of Lords.
Lord Banbury, who moved the re-
lection of the bill, retold the story
of a,idebate in the House of Commons
in 1923 when Lady Astor tugged at
his coattails in an effort to induce
himito stop speaking so that she and
her liquor bill might have the right
of way of the house. He said that
experience did not encourage him to
desire women in the House of Lords.
Lord Birkenhead caused laughter
by remarking that among the sup
porters of the bill were The husbands
of women of high distinction who
sat in the other house. This refer.
ence applied to Lord Astor.

1t has long been known that fear

influence than this.
a concreate example will make my
point clear. A scientist whom I know
was one day working in his laboratory
when he was the only one in his build
ing. He happened, by accident, to in
hale Il certain gas that is a deadly
poison. Instantly he thought of two
means to save himself from serious
injury, If not from death. He rapidly
tried one of these, and it failed. He
then tried the other, which also PROV

rapidly becoming critical He at once
darted TO third alternative which
he had in mind, that Of reaching a
telephone in an Office on the floor
above the one of which he was work
ing. AS he rushed out into the hall
and up the stairs, he thought of
several persons whom he might try
to call, and rapidly made his selec-
ton OF the one whom he thought
would most probably be at home and
within reach.

The telephone number of this friend
stood out, he says, clear and inches
high III his minds eye as. he ran up
the stairs. He was just able to gaSr
a few words of explanation to this
friend when he became unconscious.
Assistance was hurried to him, and
after long and hard labor he was re-
stored to consciousness and his life
was saved.
Sometimes q strong emotion may
disturb the behavior of mind and
body and make it ineffective. Deep
sorrow or disappointment, and in some
cases intense fear, may have this
effect. 1t is notorious that in excite.
meut absurd things may be done.
When Morgan's men were making
their famous raid into the North dur
ing our Civil War their conduct at
certain moments was that of men be-
side themselves. They would rush
into some country store and, in a
whirl of greed, seize anything at hand.

horn buttons, start off to Southern
