VOTE At q SEEN
BY BRITISH WOMEN
Government Expected to In
troduce Suffrage Based on
Age of Men.
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
LONDON, March 10.--The lobby
correspondent of the Press Associa-
tion understands unofiicially that the
government is likely 10 introduce a
measure giving women the vote at
81 wears of age under the same terms
as men receive il.
Only Tuesday Premier Baldwin
met a delegation oe women who are
fighting for equal suffrage legisla-
ton and told them that the coal
strike and the Chinese situation had
monopolized official attention re-
Gently, but that the government had
been considering the suffrage prob
lem since last year. He promised to
give the women a more definite
answer before Easter.
Lady Astor, who presented the
women to the premier, later told
them:
Don't be discouraged; / believe
the government means business"
The Press Association correspond
ent says that the problem of repeal
ing legislation which now gives
women the vote only after reaching
the age of 80 is receiving the imme-
diate attention of the cabinet. lie
says that the matter involves a decI-
sion of little less Importance than
that which had to be reached when
the vote was first given to women
at the age of 80. as an extension OF
suffrage to women between the ages
OF q and 80 would give women a
majority in almost every constIt-
uency in the country.

"Too many ears are being made,
the Crouch predicted. sore afraid; "the
saturation point Is near, well see 1t in
another year. Then thcre will be a
slump too great and too stupendous
to relate; q hundred auto plants VIII
close, the industry will wade in woes,
and every other trade will shrink, and
business will be on the blink" THE
Saturation point" became the text or
sermons somewhat lame; and every
prophet who could fake the symptoms
of a stomachache. like jeremiah talked
of woe as he went weaving to and fro.
Five years ago we heard him say,
This auto boom must pass away: the
saturation point, my friends, is COM
ing; then the business ends. Then in
dismantled auto plants Wen hold sad
picnics with our aunts, and owls will
roost in chimney stacks where now
the smoke is thick as wax" And 1t
was strange how many gents believed
the prophets sad laments. They
talked in all their favored joints of
naught but saturation points. THE
country can't absorb the wains pro-
duced by all these bustling swains; the
saturation point arrives, so scratch Tor
shelter, for your lives Year after
wear the output grows, and if an auto
plant should close. it's so bigger
one may rise and point its chimneys
to the skies. The auto makers frame
their plans for doubling their supply
of vans; they build new structures
eight miles long to house the busy
toiIing throng. They hire new work
men every week and still for further
Iegions shrek. And though by death
less ardor famed, they can't supply
the great demand. The saturation
point no more makes any auto dealer
sore. We hear it mentioned with a
smile. and only prophets STEPPED In
bile would drag it from its dread abode
and walk it up and down the road.

TRAVELLING TO BETHLEHEM

Bright shone the star DER old Ju-

There travellers were Fastening
to the town,
urging the slow moving camel train
which bore them,-men of great
renown.
Laden these were, with gifts for
royalty,
Came they at last (the star still
led,)
Beheld Him, they came, so far to
see;
An Infant sleeping in manger
bed.
Then low before Him, they did wor-
ship there,
Their gold, and myrrh, and frank
incense did lay
Before Him, this Babe so sweet and
fair,
Resting in peace upon His bed of
hay.
Then turning, these who worshipped,
went again
While in the air an angel chorus
sang;
The star still over them shed silver
rain,
And DER the world the wondrous
chorus rang,
Glory to God on high, on earth
peace, good will to men,
And still We hear the message down
the years,
If we should heed and daily prac-
tice them,
There would be less of sadness, sin

In Family Herald and Star
Oh, Christmas land is not so far,
It's just across the hall
Within the little living room
Where holly decks the wall.
Right in the middle stands a tree
With crimson tinsel gay,
And strange and wondrous is the
fruit
1t bears on Christmas Day.
An apple and an orange grow
Upon the same green bough.
"A wagon and rocking horse,
A sled and spotted COW;
And nuts and sparkling sugar plums.
And drums and skates and horns.
And dolls with fiaxen tresses drop
Like pears on windy morns.
But only little boys and girls
That always mind at school
And know their daily lessons well.
And try to keep each rule,
And say their prayers both morn
and night,
Can hope to join the band
Of happy children round the tree
That grows in Christmas Land.

PASSENGER TRAIN WRECKED
Three Coaches Jump Track-Pas-

Injuries


The southbound passenger train
due at Rising Sun at 1918, was
wrecked about one and half miles
lorth of this station on Sunday
morning, when three coaches left
rails and tilted over on their sides
IN cut near the road crossing lead
ing to Mt. Hope Church.
The cause of the accident has not
)een determined By some it is at
sributed to a defect in the roadbed,
by others to the dropping down of
a brakeshoe.
The train was composed of the
ngine and five coaches, three
coaches in the rear leaving rails, the
,ngine and two forward coaches be-
ng able to proceed. There were
ieveral passengers in the coaches
hat toppled on their sides again
t the bank, all suffering sundry cuts
nd bruises and being badly shaken
lp and frightened, but fortunately
10 one was seriously injured. The
coaches were of steel construction,
which undoubtedly saved loss of life.
Wrecking crews from Perryville
md Kennett Square laid track
.round the derailed coaches, and
rain service was resumed on sche-
duled time in the ,evening. 1t re-
CURED hard work replace the
heavy steel coaches on the rails and
clay the track, and things were not
completely restored to normal until
Tuesday evening by the large force
Of men employed on the difficult job.
