House of Commons.

LONDON, Feb. 18--Fiye million daughters of John Bull are look ing forward eagerly to the 1928 session of Parliament which opened February '.
 They expect then that the con servative leaders. who are now in power, will offer for the scru- tiny of the house of commons the bill which, if passed, will give them the vote.
 The whole country is displaying interest in the proposed bill such as it seldom evinced before, for if approved, the measure would hand the majority vote from men to women There are 3090.90a more women than men in Eng land. The bill which is the po- litical child of Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin. would give wo- men the vote at the age of 21 in stead of 30 as at present.
 Members of parliament, particu- lafly those running for reelection, are expected to surpass them selves in arguments as pre- election gesture to their ccnstitu- cnts.
 Among the keenest workers on behalf of the "flapper vote" are Miss Margaret Bondfield. nom Der of parliament, and Miss Doris Beer, one of the earliest members of the Suffragists' league. Miss Beer will be given the vote if the bill goes through, and she is typicai Of the girls who are fight. ing for enfranchisement. An. other strong supporter of votes for flappers" is Lady Clare Annes ley. who is a labor candidate for parliament from West Bristol. Aside from the "flapper vote bill. prominent questions that may receive consideration are the sug gestino of giving the house oi lords more power. a reintroduced prayer book modification bill, re strietion of betting on dog races ; amendment or abolition of tho Defense of the Realm act and tho clearing of slums.
