SEX EQUALITY AIM
Of NOTED WOMAN
DR.. AIetta H. Jacobs of HoI-
land Promotes Feminine
Economic Independence.

THE HAGUE. January 9.-Equal-
ity 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 fnde-
pendence In the last 80 years. DR..
Jacobs name stands first among the
prominent women OF present day Hol-
land.
When she was born. nearly - 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 to their medical
schools when Aletta made up her
mind to become a doctor. At %, how
ever. she had gained the degree of
doctor Of medicine from GroninGen
University and began practice as the
first woman physician in the Neither
lands.

Since then few international WON
ems congresses have been held with

laborating closely with Mrs. Carrie
Chapman Gait, and in personal con
tact with all feminist movement lead

dice.
| The noted suffrage pleader retains

spirit. despite her advanced age. The
reactionary spirit which she says
came all over the world in the matter

war did not come unexpected to her.

She threw herself heart and soul into

Postwar Situation Discussed.

Referring to the postwar situation
of women. DR.. Jacobs said:
although since 1918 women have
been enfranchised in more European
countries, in the United States and
even in some parts of Asia, the social
position of women generally is worse
than before the war.
Must we, women who have de
voted our lives to uplift our sex, re
greet this reaction? I say no."
The younger generation of women
obtained their improved position in
life too easily. They forget that the
greater freedom they now enjoy was
gained by the hard and strenuous eX-
ertion of their mothers. but that its
possession is still weakly held and
could be taken from them If they do
not continue the struggle for complete
emancipation.
tsThey can do that more easily than
their mothers and grandmothers be
fore them, because they now receive
a better education and because they
WELD the power of the vote. AS soon
as they understand to use both Alright
they will regain what they lost in
the past few years, and all other
rights as well
Before this century is ended
women all over the world will have
taken their proper place on earth
that is, as full coequals of men under
all laws"

have to be considered. Not having all
of those elements before him at the
time, the President hesitated to go
further, but expressed a firm belief
that IT seemed to him as though some
thing satisfactory could be worked out
on that line. In conclusion he ex-
pressed the hope that such is the basis
of the present arrangement for discus
sion OF fiscal relations.
The Presidents. views on the general
subject of fiscal relations were con.
sidered especially interesting at this
time as a bill has been introduced and
fayorably reported in the House for
the acquisition Of the land needed to
complete the PotomacRock Creek
Parkway by the use of 100000 re-
naming of the Districts surplus. This
money, It was pointed out, was raised
under the $3.50 plan of apportionment
by which the Federal Government met
it's share by matching. dollar for dol
lar, money accumulated from District
taxes.
Would Nullify Surplus.
The present plan, it was pointed
out, would mean that the District. for
the first time in history. would pay
wholly for a part Of a park system
that heretofore has been paid for part
~ out Of Federal appropriations. 1t
would also mean a virtual nullifica-
ton of the Districts surplus. as the
Federal Government would be cred
iting the District with sum through
one motion, and with the next ap-
propriatlng this sum for a Federal
project, with no aid from Federal
SOURCES.

Following a world tour in 1912 with
Mrs. Gait, when they were acclaimed
champions of their sex in many world
countries, DIR. Jacobs and Jane Ad-
dams, in 1915, undertook the task to
urge the anti-war resolutions of The
Hague international Women's Con-
gress upon the governments, of the
beligerant states, the Pope and the
President Of the United States.
Travelling in war time, and for such
purpose, was fraught with the great
est perils and all manner Of Difficult
ties, but Aletta Jacobs never faltered.
She was received on September -.
1915, by President Wilson at the
White House. Her visit was a disap
pointment.
In 1892 DR.. Jacobs married Carl
Victor Gerritsen. municipal councillor
of Amsterdam, but elected to remain
known under her own name.
She still recollects her indignation
at being obliged TO promise to "obey,'
in accordance with Dutch law.

tate for the omission of that word"
she said. Everybody knows it is 4

CHAPTER XXXXUI.
The Next Day.

Rosalind's experience with Nicky,
combined with practically sleepless
night. robbed her of her last bit of
courage. She stayed in bed the whole
of the next day. getting up only to
nibble at some toast and drink some
strong coffee.
The thought of going to the Tivoli
that night, of going through her act as
though nothing had happened. Of pos
sibly seeing some of the crowd after
ward, was more than she could bear,
and late in the afternoon she decided
to send Mr.. Rogers, the manager, a
note explaining that she was i'll and
would not be able to sing.
She had written the note and was
addressing the envelope when she hesi-
tated Perhaps II would be better to
go. After all, she would have to ap-
pear there some time: she would have
TO make up her mind definitely to go
on with her job there at least until
she could get something else. She had
been living very extravagantly of late,
and had very little money ahead. She
must not do anything rash.
She tore up the note into fragments
and threw it into the wastebasket. She
was sitting with her eyes fixed on
nothing and her thoughts drifting
idly, when the door bell rang.

be Dorothy or some one Of the crowd,
and she decided not to answer. And
then, because it was not like Rosa
lind to be cowardly, she threw back
her chin and marched to the door.
A messenger boy, his mouth relaxed
in a wide grin, stood without.
Miss Nash?" he queried, shifting a
large wad of chewing gum to the back
of his mouth as he spoke. II gotta

Rosalind took the stubby pencil he
handed her and signed her name to
the slip Of yellow cardboard. In re.
turn he handed her a small package
and was off down the stairs.
Rosalind carried the small package
into the living room and sat with it In
her fingers for a long time before she
slowly began to remove the wrappers.

than three centuries, While AuStro-
Hungary refused equality to her
Bohemian subjects, Of whom the ma
jority were CZechs, the white and red
flag was used as the banner OF reVo-
luton and independence. 1t was the
flag Of the CZschoslovak revolution In
the beginning, and in 1S4S. more than
20 years before it was officially recog-
nized, one of the chief demands of the
Slovak Assembly was the right to use
the white and red as the national COL
ors of Slovakia-
The flag which the National Coun-
Gil adopted in 1918 was used during
the World War by the Czechoslovak
armies in France and Italy. After the
republic was organized. the colors of
the provisional flag were transferred
to the national flag.
In this flag the two great branches
of the people. the Czechs and the
Slovaks, are represented in the white
and red stripes and the blue wedge.
The great coat Of arms, which has
been placed on the flag of the Presi-
dent of the Republic, includes the coat
of arms of each separate division of
the country. Thus Bohemia, Moravia,
Silesia, Slovakia and Carpathian Ru-
thenta are all represented. Under
meath the great coat OF arms are
branches and leaves of the linden and
the motto, Truth prevails" The
background of this other more elabo.

alternate blue and red triangles of

piles, OF "a series of crosS-pieces be-
tween two uprights, and the comb
back. The comb-back Windsor has
spindles, like the how-back, but a few
OF them in the center are longer than
the rest and terminate In d flying"
piece which. altogether, shows
q striking resemblance to a long-tooth
decorative back hair comb.
The bow-back Windsor is SO much
the more common form of Windsor
that it is often regarded as the typical
Windsor. The boW-hack chair may
be with or without arms. When It
has arms, these are made Of one con-
tInuous piece which runs through the
spindle in the back. You will recog-
nize the typical Windsor bow. as it is
alWayS grooved.
Many of the best Windsors have a
braced back-two extra spindles which
are supported by graceful little han
dle-like projection at the back of the
scat. and in turn support the back
at the top of the bow. In order to give
real strength to the chair, this pro-
lection should be an integral part Of
the wood Of the seat, and not just
fastened on sas an afterthought.
The real old-fashioned Windsor is
always a wooden bottomed chair with
ii cdINeO cut SdOule seat but SINCE
about 1906 some American manu-
facturers have been producing a very
harmonious adoption with a hand
woven rush seat. There has also been
a tendency to initiate this with a wo-
ven seat OF fiber. In comfort and ap-
pearance the two are about the same,
but the fiber, being a distinctly modern
manufactured product. doesn't harmo-
nize 50 we'll with the spirit of the true
colonial Windsor, which was made Of
materials that We're at hand on the
early frontier.
You can invariably distinguish the
rush from the fiber seat by looking
underneath. A rush seat will show
the cut ends OF the reed, while q fiber
seat is smoothly finished, much as it

Lisle Rival of Silk for Stockings
BY MARY MARSHALL,

For one thing the death Of Queen
Alexandra earlier in the Winter had
an effect on stocking fashions, felt
quite vividly in England. and reflect
ed in Paris and eventually In our own
land. During the period OF court
mourning in England-and 1t has not
quite terminated at the present time
women Of the court and those who ape
the fashions Of the court have given
up flesh -colored stockings, wearing in
stead sheer blacks and a dark gray
that you may call gun metal or
lighter gray called platinum.
This fashion did not come as sucn
a hardship, since already number OF
fashionable women here and In France
and in England followed the fashion
Of wearing extremely thin black slik
stockings on occasions when sucn q
choice proved smart. A well dressed
French woman chose black cloth
coat. lined with gray kasha, collared
and cuffed with gray squirred. and
with 1t she wore black pumps and
very, very thin black hose. The ef-
feet was smarter than it would nave
been with nude stockings.
More important than this fashion
for sheer black and gray stockings
is the revived interest in Isle stock
ings that has been manifested In
France and London and ts already
having an effect on American taste.
This was brought about In England
bv a heavy tax laid on silk stockings
from France. which led numbers OF
British women to adopt Isle stock
ings instead. The saying went the
round in England that before long 1t
would he regarded as in quite as bad
taste TO have shiny legs as d shiny
nose. The new Isle stockings are of
fine texture but of a soft. dusty finish
that contrasts strongly with the sheen
Of the silk stocking.

WINTER
BY ID. c. PEATTIE.
Starlings,

Even if you live IN the heart OF the
city 1t is not impossible the whois
Winter long to do great deal Of ne,
ture observation for yourself. Not only
Is there human nature, ever an anus
ing spectacle, but much plant and AMI
NAL nature. And there is one bird Id
Washington that actually seems to
prefer the haunts of men. He may
not be much TO look at or te hear, na
nightingale or bird of paradise, but
he is 50 lively and intelligent that one
never wearies of watching him. It is
the starting, but recently q naturalized
American citizen, who came over some
years ago and is now well established.
Like the sparrow, he was brought as
a friend and turns out to be pest.
Starlings are locally plentiful In
Washington, but at all times you may
see them in the sycamores along Penn
sylvania avenue, especially in the little
triangular Pulaski Park. Chortling,
wheeling, gabbling and whistling,
they flock as dense az black storm
cloud, casting sarcastic comments on
the passersby. Starlings are said to
be among the most intelligent OF birds,
able to keep out Of danger, but ven
turing boldly near to steal food. They
can be taught TO talk. and, indeed,
their song, If song it can be called, Is
laughably close to the chattering gos-
sip of hundred idle human tongues.
Their highly social and gregartous
life has many Of the advantages and
the follies Of human society. There
are friendships and courtships and
fights, and one would judge, much
sharp mutual criticism. Recently the
Fire Department turned powerful lines
Of hose on the starlings in Pulaski
Square, but after d while back they
came.

The other day the following letter
arrived from young woman in New
York:
Dear Miss McMein:
II have followed your articles on
numereology. but some of the points
you make are not clear to me. l have
before me your chart which is used
in working out the single digits or
governing numbers. | would appre-
ciate a chart from you. showing what
these numbers mean when arrived at.
That is, IL my name should work out
to Il three-what would this three
stand for? / would thank you very
kindly for this information. Truly
yours, ROSE g."
I have received So many letters
lately asking this same question that !
imagined many people missed my
earlier articles in which the Charac-
teristics of the birth numbers and
name numbers were given. AS the
most satisfactory way Of answering
this letter and for the information of
others 1 am summarizing again the
meaning of the nine name numbers.
One-The bearer OF this number
should associate himself carefully
with others in most enterprises. He
must realize that In union their is
strength. Any attempt TO control the
airs Oh OlHcIS Will De llhelS " Ic-
suit in failure. He must not play the
lone wolf.
Two-This digit, when obtained in
the usual way, indicates that its
bearer will succeed by cleyerness
| rather than force-the velvet glove
rather than the mailed fist. 1t is the
number Of diplomacy. A two arrived
| at through II or q G+1-2), however,
is strong number, and denotes serv-
ice. Great nurses, doctors, clergy
men and writer's often are twus.
Three-Is the joy number. The
destiny of it's holder Is TO bring
laughter and joy TO others. 1t is the
number of the fine arts.
Four-A life governed by this num-
Der Will find success especially mate
rial, financial success through hard
work-through everlastingiy plugging
away at the job.
Five-Is a curious number. 1t in
dicates change and uncertainty; also
mental and physical force. a five,
unless supported by strong birth
number, seldom knows real happiness.
| Six-Like two, this is Il number Of
service, but service Of more per
sonal k!nd-the service inspired by
| love. A life whose destiny number is
six may have great musical ability.
Seven-Is the number of reserve
and retirement People who bear this
number must constantly try To over
come shyness, introspection and even
morbidness. II means soul adjust
ment. It's holders are likely to tend
toward the mystic or occult.
Eight-This is the highly individual
number. II is distinctly the number
| OF business, commerce and finance
The names of empire builders aud of
those who have amassed great per-
sonal fortunes often add up to eight
Nine-Nunber nine is the really
great nurnber--the complete number
| Its holder will have unusual under
standing and sympathy. Nine de-
notes great achievement, but not
pecially of q material kind. Great
leaders OF thought and searChers after
the truth are apt 10 be mines. We
instinctively demand much Of the
nine people: their failure to meet our
expectations Is not easily forgiven.

When You Buy Windsors.

II Is claimed by those who ought
20 know what Windsor chairs have the
longest record Of persistent popular
fly OF any type of furniture which has
ever come into general use. So if you
like Windsors It is not surprising
most everybody does.
The explanation OF this long-con-
tiuued popularity lies largely in two
things-the comfort and grace of the
Windsor. and its informal atmosphere
OF hospitality. All of this. we must
admit, is in marked contrast to the
stiff. hard lines Of many so-called
period types and antique designs.
Just now the demand for Windsor
pieces is, stronger than it has been
for many years before. The favor of
Yearly American things in general ac-
counts for some of this no doubt but
IN" intrinsic merit of the chairs them
selves is always important.
In choosing a Windsor piece of any
hjnd the lines and trueness Of design
arc very much more important than
ThG wood from which il is made. And
= You are planning to buy you will
certainly want to know what you are
doing on this point in order to avoid
getting something you are sick of as
soon as you have seen where it falls
short In the true spirit OF Windsor
grace and comfort.
The most marked point of true
Windsor design is the rake" or slant
Il the vase-like legs. AS matter of
fact. this is the only kind of chair that
does have such spreading legs, and
this Is possible only because the legs
themselves are braced by coming up
through the wood OF the seat. The
rungs which tie the legs together have
typical bulge in the center which
in the antique pieces is always lighter

There are three quite different types
OF Windsor backs-that made with q

Independence day for CZechoslovakia
is October IS, and its present form as
an independent country dates from
the breakup of the Austro-Hungarian
Empire in 1918. The constitution of
the republic was adopted February %.
1920, and like many other republics,
the colors chosen for it's flag were
blue, white and red. Each color has
a special meaning and tradition for
this new country of which the king
dom Of old Bohemia and the territory
of Slovakia form a part.
Slovakia, cut from the northern
part of old Hungary, rises into
mighty chain of mountains. the High
Tatras OF the Carpathians. Some of
the peaks are nearly 5000 feet over
their valleys and belong to the most
beautiful in Europe. Three Of the
peaks. called Tatra, Matra and Fatra,
The Slovaks placed upon their coat of
arms, blue at the foot OF u white
cross and against a red background.
When the Czechoslovak National
Council, acting in Washington for the
provisional government. adopted an
official flag in 1918. they took for It's
field the blue of the Slovak mountains.
On this blue field they placed the
white and red which has been the his,
torical banner of ancient Bohemia,
the home of the CZechs. For more
