SEX EQUALITY IS
 HER LIFE FIGHT
Dutch Woman Is Leader Of New
 Movement

The Hague. Jan. 8 R,-Equality Of the sexes in all social aspects has been the ideal of Aletta II. Jacobs and largely through her influence Dutchwomen have acquired much greater political and economic in- dependence in the last thirty years. pr. Jacobs name stands first among the prominent women of present-day Holland.
 When she was born nearly seven- ty-two years ago women did not count for much except as the wives Of their husbands or the daughters of their fathers. Dutch universities did not dream Of admitting women 10 their medical scools when Aictta made up her mind 10 become doc tor. At twenty-five. however. she had gained the degree of odctor of medicine from Cironigen University and began practice as the first wo- man physician in The Netherlands.
 Since then, few international women's congresses have been held without her conspicuous presence. Collaborating closely with Mrs. Car rie Chapman Catt and in personal contact with all the feminist move ment leaders In Europe, Dr. Jacobs blazed the trail for womsn's rights and franchise In the face of full blast of sex prejudice.

Though she and a yard boy were
blown from the wash house in the
rear of her home Saturday morning
by a gas explosion, Mrs. J. VI. Nor
ris, 30 Berkshire avenue, and the
youth escaped with bruises.
The explosion came when Mrs.
Morris prepared TO light a stove in
the house. Gas believed to have been
escaping from pipe leak beneath her
residence had filled the smaller struc-
ture.
Both Mrs. Morris and the youth
were standing directly in the path Of
the doorway. This fact is believed to
have saved both lives, for neither
struck any part of the building as
they hurled into the yard.
Though considerably shaken up By
the explosion, Mrs. Morris was able
to continue the task she had set upon.
